Incident Number: 22165
Risk Classification: Low
Ranking: Low
Dear Shell Real Estate LLP:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste
Management, Mooresville Regional Office indicates that soil and groundwater contamination meet the
cleanup requirements for a low-risk release under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and .0400, but contamination
exceeds the limits allowed for the unrestricted use of a site were 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 10/16/2016, the UST Section received a certified copy of the Perpetual Land Use
Restrictions which is filed with the Register of Deeds, on 10/11/2016 in book 3366 and page 89-93.
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 02L .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 groundwater contamination exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in
Title 15A NCAC 02L .0202, groundwater within the area of contamination or within the area where
groundwater contamination is expected to migrate is not suitable for use as a water supply. Be advised that
as soil contamination exceeds the residential MSCCs, the property containing the contamination is suitable
only for industrial/ commercial use or restricted residential use (The term "residential is inclusive of, but
not limited to, private houses, apartment complexes, schools, nursing homes, parks, recreation areas and
day care centers), as stipulated in the Notice of Residual Petroleum (attached).
