INITIAL ABATEMENT ACTION REPORT
Smith Residence 5000 Sparrow Court Pleasant Garden, North Carolina
B. Site History
1. Introduction
Susan Smith owns a property located at 5000 Sparrow Court in Pleasant Garden, NC. This
property contains one permanent structure which is used as a residence. Figure 1 illustrates
the location of this facility on the Pleasant Garden Quadrangle U.S.G.S. Topographic Map.
The site formerly contained one 550 gallon heating oil UST which was used for heating
the residence. Figure 2 illustrates the site layout and the location of the former UST.
Information regarding the ownership of the non-regulated UST which was formerly located
at this facility is contained in Table 1. A release from the 550 gallon tank was confirmed
upon receipt of analytical results for a soil sample collected during the UST removal
activities. The soil sample collected from beneath the UST was reported at a level of 8,340
milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) by Diesel Range Organics (DRO).
Following discovery of the tank release, Paragon Environmental Consultants, Inc. was
contracted by Susan Smith to perform soil remediation activities and confirmatory soil
sampling and laboratory analyses in the area of the contaminated 550 gallon heating oil
UST. Contained herein is a summary of activities which were completed at the project
site.
2. Scope of Services
This Initial Abatement Action Report contains documentation concerning the following activities which have been conducted at this facility:
o Excavation of contaminated soils and backfilling of the excavation performed by
KBS Earthworks, Inc. of Julian, NC
o Transportation of contaminated soil by KBS Earthworks, Inc. and disposal of the
excavated material at AES of NC, LLC of Thomasville, NC
o Collection of soil samples from the limits of the excavation performed by Paragon
Environmental
o Laboratory analyses of soil samples conducted by Waypoint Analytical, LLC of
Charlotte, NC

C. Site Investigation
1. Excavation and Soil Sampling
On March 22, 2023 personnel from KBS Earthworks, Inc. (KBS) and Paragon Environmental Consultants, Inc. (Paragon) removed the 550 gallon tank and attempted to remove the petroleum impacted soil identified during the UST closure activities. Appendix A contains a tank disposal manifest for the UST which was formerly located at the subject property. The impacted soils in the excavation area were excavated until field analyses indicated that all petroleum contaminated soil had been removed. In order to verify site conditions, one sample was collected from the pit bottom at a depth of 14 feet below land surface and one sample was collected from each of the walls at depths of 12 feet below grade. Appendix B contains a geologic log of excavation for the soil remediation activities at this facility. The soil samples collected from the remedial excavation at 5000 Sparrow Court were analyzed according to Gasoline Range Organics (GRO) and Diesel Range Organics (DRO) for TPH. The in-situ soil samples from the bottom and walls of the excavation were collected with the excavator bucket and were immediately placed into laboratory supplied glassware and placed on ice for transportation to the analytical laboratory utilizing EPA approved chain-of-custody procedures. According to the laboratory analytical results for the soil samples, the five in-situ samples were below the NCDEQ action levels for TPH by GRO and DRO. Based on the soil sample results from the limits of the remedial excavation, no petroleum contamination above the NCDEQ action levels remains in place at this facility. Figure 3 illustrates the area of soil remediation and the locations of the in-situ soil samples collected at this facility. The analytical results for the TPH soil analyses are summarized in Table 2. A copy of the laboratory analytical report and the chain-of-custody record for the samples from this subject site is included in Appendix C. All samples were obtained in accordance with Paragon’s Standard Operating Procedures which are included as Appendix D.
2. Soil Disposal
A total of approximately 66.46 cubic yards (93.05 tons) of heating oil impacted soils were
removed during site remediation activities on March 22, 2023. This material was
transported by KBS to AES’s facility in Thomasville, NC for treatment and disposal.
Copies of the soil disposal manifests are contained in Appendix E.

3. Conclusions and Recommendations
3. A Conclusions and Recommendations
The soil remediation activities at the Smith Residence have been completed. From a review of all information gathered during this remediation project, Paragon Environmental Consultants, Inc. makes the following conclusions:
o Laboratory results for sampling of in-situ soils following the excavation activities showed all five soil samples were below the NCDEQ action levels for TPH by GRO and DRO.
o A total of 93.05 tons of heating oil impacted soils were removed from beneath the former heating oil UST. This material was transported by KBS to AES in Thomasville, NC for disposal.
3. B. Recommendations
Based upon a review of all information gathered during this Initial Abatement project, Paragon makes the following recommendations:
o A notice of No Further Action should be issued for the subject site since all in-situ soils are below the applicable soil cleanup standards.
o A copy of this report should be forwarded to the following address:
