Incident Number: 47003
Risk Classification: High

Dear Mr. Vue and Ms. Moua:
This office of the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste Management, has
required Bumgarner Oil Company, LLC to assess the horizontal and vertical extent of petroleum
contamination at the above-referenced site. In order to complete this requirement, their consultant,
Terraquest, must access your property. Terraquest has made a request to access your property for this
purpose, but has not yet received a response.
Please note that 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02L .0106(b) states that any person conducting
or controlling an activity which results in the discharge of a waste, hazardous substance or oil to the
groundwater, or in proximity thereto, shall take immediate action to terminate and control the discharge,
mitigate any hazards resulting from exposure to the pollutants, and notify the Division of the discharge.
As a property owner, you may refuse to allow Terraquest to access your property. You should be aware,
however, that a refusal to allow access may result in a determination that you are controlling an activity
which results in the discharge of a waste, and that you could be held responsible for assessment and
remediation of any contamination since Bumgarner Oil Company would be unable to complete the
required work.
Please respond within 15 days of receipt of this letter and advise the Division if you intend to allow
Terraquest to access your property to perform the required work.
