Re: PCB Contamination
Dear Mr. Strickland:
On February 4, 1981, North Carolina Natural Gas received
notice from the North Carolina Department of Transportation that
any future gas line extensions or service line installations
within PCB contaminated areas would not be approved.
North Carolina Natural Gas presently owns and operates gas
lines along S.R. 1416 and S.R. 1003 in Wilson County. These
lines are in contaminated soil. From time to time it will be
necessary to excavate these lines for emergency leakage repair.
These repairs would normally be completed with Company employees
working in and around the contaminated soil. To safeguard their
health, please advise what special protection we should provide
our employees to prevent exposure to the hazards of the
contaminant.
