RE: State Lead Referral Notification Eden Superior Car Wash 102 Boone Road
Eden, Rockingham County, NC DWM Incident #30023 Dear Rush Properties LLC:
The Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) has referred the subject site to the State Underground Storage Tank (UST) Trust Fund Branch, State Lead for inclusion on the list of sites awaiting cleanup. According to information available to the Trust Fund Branch, Ben Eggleston operated the site as a gas station. Mr. Eggleston is apparently deceased and is unable to comply with North Carolina requirements
regarding assessment and remediation of petroleum contamination. Based on the presence of contamination remaining at the site, the subject property is being accepted by the State for inclusion to the list of sites awaiting State Lead cleanup. According to the information on file, you are not considered to be an owner or operator of the USTs pursuant to G.S. 143-215.94A.
To evaluate the extent of contamination, it may be necessary to collect additional soil and/or groundwater samples at the site. An access agreement for the purpose of conducting the required assessment is attached for your review. Please sign the attached site access agreement letter and return to the address indicated on the letter. Please understand that failure to allow access to the property could potentially make you responsible for the cleanup under other State and Federal regulations. In addition, if the conditions of the
access agreement are unacceptable, you may apply for eligibility to the Commercial Trust Fund as the landowner, pay the appropriate deductible and hire a consultant to handle the assessment and remediation activities.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at [phone] or Herb Berger at
