Ed,

Hope you have a good summer.

The subject incident is located at 1040 (former 1041) E. Lexington Ave, High
Point, Guilford County. Conoco Stores, Inc. owned and operated a UST system
on the property and sold the system to Circle K Stores, Inc. in December 2003.
In April and May 2004, ACT Associates, Inc. was contracted by Circle K Stores to
conduct environmental assessment (EA) at the facility. ATC assessment report
of June 4, 2004 indicated that soil and groundwater at the site were impacted
by release from the UST system.

According to the letter of May 27, 2004 form Andrew Stow of ConocoPhillips to
Mr. Grove Nicholson, NC UST Section Chief, petroleum contamination
discovered before June 14, 2004 (180 days after closing of the transaction) was
the responsibility of ConocoPhillips.

I have contacted Mr. Steve Booe of NC UST Permit and Inspection if they have
found any fail tightness test and/or suspected release during their compliance
inspections since June 2004. According to Mr. Booe, they have not found any
fail tightness test or suspected release from the system since 2004.

Based on the date of release conformation and compliance results since June
2004, ConocoPhillips is the responsible party for the petroleum contamination
detected at the site.

A review of ACT EA report indicates that no soil and groundwater samples were
analyzed by risk-based methods including MADEP VEP and VPH. A soil and a
groundwater samples need to be collected for risk-based analysis, and
analytical results need to be submitted for our review. If no free product and
no GCL violation, we can close this incident after completion of notice of
residual petroleum and public notice for 2L violation.

If this site is not in your territory, please give me the contact person’s name
and address.

Thank you.
