RE: Notice of No Further Action 15A NCAC 2L .0407(d)
Risk based Assessment and Corrective Action for Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks
301 Old Thomasville Road
High Point, Guilford County, NC (WSRO)
STF Incident Number 13799
Risk/Rank: Low, L019R
Dear Mr. Hull:
A petroleum release was identified at the referenced site during tank removal activities in June 1990. On June
18, 1990, Aquaterra conducted a closure assessment for two underground storage tanks (USTs) that were
located near the garage: one 10,500-gallon #2 fuel oil UST, and one 250-gallon used motor oil (waste oil)
UST. Petroleum contaminated soils were removed from beneath each tank, and the 10,500-gallon tank
received clean closure. However, 360 mg/kg Oil and Grease was identified in one of the confirmation soil
samples collected beneath the waste oil tank. The Responsible Party, Alma Desk Company, was dissolved in
1994, and no further assessment work was conducted. The incident was referred to the State Lead Cleanup
Program in 2011, but by that time the tank basin was covered by a building, and risk-based samples could not
be collected from the source area.
We recently reviewed the file, and the confirmation soil sample results beneath the waste oil tank were 5.1
mg/kg gasoline-range Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), and < 2.0 mg/kg diesel-range TPH, which are
below current and former action levels, so additional sampling will not be required.
Based on this information, the UST Section finds it appropriate to classify the risk of the discharge or release as
low. Furthermore, the UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. This
determination shall apply unless the UST Section later finds that this discharge or release poses an unacceptable
risk or a potential risk to human health or environment, or additional information is provided to warrant
reassessment of the site. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2L.0407(a), you have a continuing obligation to notify the UST
Section of any changes that you know of, or should know of, that might affect the level of risk assigned to the
discharge or release. If you have any questions concerning this notice, please contact Sharon Ghiold at
[e-mail] or 919-707-8166.
Thank you,
