West Jefferson, NC Incident #3320
Dear Jack and Ness Mock: This letter is to inform you that the North Carolina Division of Waste Management, Underground Storage
Tank Section, State Trust Fund is issuing a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Action Plan related to a release from a former petroleum underground storage tank system located at the subject address. Because the property you own or occupy is located within or contiguous to an area containing contamination or within or contiguous to an area where the contamination is expected to migrate, State rules governing groundwater classifications and standards (15A NCAC 2L .0115) require that you be informed. The State Trust Fund Branch of the UST Section, on behalf of the responsible party, Eller and Huffman Oil Company, is providing this public notice. The source area of the contamination is located at 5087 HWY 163, West Jefferson, NC. Please see the attached map showing the location of the source area of the release. The underground storage tanks have been removed, assessment activities have been conducted, and monitor
wells have been installed. Sampling from these monitor wells and surrounding water supply wells indicates that the contamination has not impacted area supply wells. Based on the current condition of the site, further action is deemed unnecessary, unless the threat to human health and the environment should increase.
If you would like to review the LUST Action Plan, please contact me at 919-733-1319 and a copy will be mailed to you promptly. In addition, the State Trust Fund has other site information on file that is available for
public review. You may make copies of this information for a small fee. Any written comments concerning this request should be submitted to me at the following address within thirty (30) days of the date that this letter was issued: Herb Berger DWM UST Section 1637 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1637
