Hello all,
I am Taylor Mebane with Mecklenburg County Stormwater Services contacting you about a recent incident where a red
dyed petroleum product was found in the back yard of 1304 Enderly Drive, Charlotte NC after several recent heavy rain
events. At the back of this property is an abandon storm drainage line that originates at 3201 TUCKASEEGEE RD and it
appears from our investigation that fuel observed at the outfall and the back yard of 1304 Enderly Drive came out of this
abandoned storm drainage line. I investigated the area initially on the afternoon of Friday, April 281" and did not
observe anything that would indicate that the fuel originated from an above ground source. The City of Charlotte
contracted Carolina Environmental Response Team (CERT) to remove the free product standing on the ground at 1304
Enderly Drive because the free product needed to be removed to help protect surface waters. This morning (Monday,
May 1, 2023) we conducted an additional investigation of the surrounding area but still did not find a source. However,
there are several known USTs incidents in the immediate area that may need to be investigated but that is out of our
purview.
One contaminated site is documented at 3131 Tuckaseegee RD, NCDEQ UST Inc#40815. Soil contamination is
documented from a heating oil UST release.
Another site is documented at 3218 Tuckaseegee RD, Gate 403, NCDEQ UST Section Inc#24294. This is a petroleum
release with documented soil and groundwater contamination with ongoing investigation. Six monitoring wells are
permitted and registered at 3201 Tuckaseegee RD related to this incident. Active petroleum USTs are registered to 3218
Tuckaseegee RD.
At this time we are not sure if there are any USTs on the property at 3201 TUCKASEEGEE RD that could have contributed
to the discharge.
The homeowners at 1304 Enderly Ln who initially reported this incident have been copied on this email per their
request, and their names are Mackenzie Shepard and Kasey Wendall.
Can you please assist in identifying the source of this petroleum discharge?
