Incident Number: 47228, 47714, 96490
Risk Classification: Low
Ranking: L60D

Dear Mr. McKenzie:

The Phase I Limited Site Assessment Report (Incident #47228) dated August 9, 2021, the Initial Abatement
Action Report (Incident #47714) dated July 16, 2021, and the Initial Abatement Action Report (Incident
#96490) dated May 7, 2021 received by the UST Section, Division of Waste Management, Winson-Salem
Regional Office and the Notice of Residual Petroleum received on October 18, 2021 have been reviewed.
The review indicates that soil contamination exceeds the residential maximum soil contaminant
concentrations (MSCCs) established in Title 15A NCAC 2L .0411 and groundwater contamination meets
the cleanup requirements for a low-risk site but exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in
Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202.

The UST Section determines the subject incident to be eligible conditionally for no further action status.
However, final approval of no further action status is contingent on receipt of confirmation that public
notice requirements have been completed, as described in the following paragraphs.

Be advised that as groundwater contamination exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in
Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202, groundwater within the area of contamination or within the area where
groundwater contamination is expected to migrate is not suitable for use as a water supply. Be advised that
as soil contamination exceeds the residential MSCCs, the property containing the contamination is suitable
only for industrial/commercial use, as stipulated in the Notice of Residual Petroleum.

As groundwater contamination exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A NCAC
2L .0202 and soil contamination exceeds the residential MSCCs, public notice in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2L .0409(b) also is required. Thus, within 30 days of receipt of this letter, a copy of the letter must
be provided by certified mail, or by posting in a prominent place, if certified mail is impractical, to the local
health director, the chief administrative officer of each political jurisdiction in which the contamination

occurs, all property owners and occupants within or contiguous to the area containing contamination, and
all property owners and occupants within or contiguous to the area where the contamination is expected to
migrate. Within 60 days of receiving this letter, this office must be provided with proof of receipt of the
copy of the letter or of refusal by the addressee to accept delivery of the copy of the letter or with a
description of the manner in which the letter was posted. Interested parties may examine the incident file
by contacting Ashley Dinkins at [phone] and may submit comments on the site to her at the Guilford
County Department of Health and Human Services, located at 400 W. Market Street, Suite 300, Greensboro,
NC 27401.

This conditional No Further Action determination will not become valid until the UST Section
receives a certified copy of the Notice of Residual Petroleum which is filed with the Register of Deeds
and until public notice requirements are completed.

If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact Ashley Dinkins at the Guilford County
Department of Health and Human Services, 400 W. Market Street, Suite 300, Greensboro, NC 27406 or
[phone].

Sincerely,
Carin Lee Kromm, L.G.
