Dear Mr. Wheatley:

The subject incident has been reviewed by the UST Section, Division of Waste Management,
Wilmington Regional Office. The risk posed by the discharge or release at the subject site is classified by
the Department of Environmental Quality as high, as stipulated under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0406. The land
use at the site is classified as residential. Title 15A NCAC 2L .0407(a) requires you to notify the Department
of any changes that might affect the risk or land use classifications that have been assigned.
Title 15A NCAC 2L .0407(b) [High Risk] requires you to comply with the assessment and cleanup
requirements of Title 15A NCAC 2N .0706 and Title15A NCAC 2L .0106(c) and 2L .0106(g). A
Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) Report prepared in accordance with these requirements and the
most recent version of the Guidelines for Assessment and Corrective Action for UST Releases must be
received by this office no later than July 1, 2022. In addition, you must submit a summary of the CSA

the Department in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0103(e) and 2L .0111(b).
