NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality March 6, 2023 Frito Lay Plant Manager 2911 Nevada Blvd Charlotte, NC 28273 RE: State-Lead Acceptance
Frito Lay Plant - Charlotte 2911 Nevada Blvd Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC Incident Number 15829 Dear Frito Lay:
The Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) has referred the subject release incident to the State Underground Storage Tank (UST) Trust Fund Branch, State-Lead Program for inclusion on the list of releases awaiting state-lead cleanup. In April 1996, soil and groundwater contamination was detected. To date, the required assessment and cleanup of the release have not been completed due to the dissolution of the company that formerly owned the UST system, recalcitrance of the former
UST system owner, or death of the former UST system owner. Due to the potential presence of groundwater users within 1500 feet of the release and based on the confirmation of contamination remaining at the release location, the subject release incident is being accepted by the State-Lead program for inclusion on the list of releases awaiting further assessment and cleanup and/or UST removal pursuant to G.S. 143-215.94G. Currently, the risk of this release is "low/Intermediate". An assessment and, if necessary, a cleanup, will be conducted as soon as funds are available to determine and alleviate impacts to the environment and human health. The State-Lead Program contractor must access the property to conduct assessment and cleanup activities, which may include the installation and sampling of monitoring wells, and cleanup activities, Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.94A, based on the information currently
available in our files you are not considered to the responsible for the release. The UST Section would appreciate your approval for access to your property to conduct necessary
assessment and cleanup activities. Please note that pursuant to 15A NCAC .0106(b), failure to allow the UST Section and/or their contractor to access your property to conduct the necessary assessment and cleanup activities may result in a determination that you are controlling an activity which results
in the discharge of waste, and you may potentially be held responsible for assessment and cleanup of the contamination.
