Fast Track 136

Lenoir, Caldwell County
UST Incident Number 41723
Risk Classification: Low

Dear Mr. Bush:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste
Management, Asheville Regional Office indicates that soil and groundwater contamination meet the
cleanup requirements for the above low-risk releases under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and .0400, but
contamination exceeds the limits allowed for the unrestricted use of a site closed under risk-based cleanup
standards.
The UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. All required actions have
been completed. On 4/23/2020, the UST Section reviewed a certified copy of the Notice of Residual
Petroleum (NRP), which is filed with the Register of Deeds on 4/23/2020, in Book 1986, Pages 1639-1643.

This determination shall apply unless the UST Section later finds that the discharge or release poses an
unacceptable risk or a potentially unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. Pursuant to Title
15A NCAC 2L .0407(a) you have a continuing obligation to notify the Department of any changes that
might affect the risk or land use classifications that have been assigned.

Be advised that, as contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A
NCAC 2L .0202, groundwater within the area where contamination is present or is expected to migrate is
not suitable for use as a water supply. Be advised that as soil contamination may exceed the residential
MSCCs, the property containing the soil contamination is suitable only for restricted residential use
("residential" being inclusive of, but not limited to, private houses, apartment complexes, schools, nursing
homes, parks, recreation areas and day care centers), as stipulated in the NRP.

The aforementioned notice is more extensive in the restrictions and outlines the soils not to be disturbed
more effectively than the notice that would be placed by the UST Section.

Interested parties may examine the file by contacting this regional office and may submit comments on the
site to the regional office at the address or telephone number listed below.

This No Further Action determination applies only to the subject incident; for any other incidents at the
subject site, the responsible party must continue to address contamination as required.

If you have any questions regarding trust fund eligibility or reimbursement from the Commercial Leaking
Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Funds, please contact the UST Section Trust Fund Branch
at [phone].
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact me at the address or telephone number listed
below.

Sincerely,

Caroline LaFond
