Risk-based Assessment and Corrective Action for
Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks

Incident Number:19710
Risk Classification: High

Dear Mr. Simmons:

After review of the Letter Report dated March 23, 2023, the subject incident has been determined
by the Division of Waste Management (DWM), in response to North Carolina General Statute (NCGS)
143-215.94E(e4), to be of sufficiently high priority to allow funding by the State Trust Fund Program.
Therefore, you are directed to proceed with assessment or remediation activities as required in this Notice
of Regulatory Requirements. Specifically, you are required to continue groundwater sampling activities on
an Annual basis, to include the sampling of monitoring well (MW) MW-1 and MW-2. The next letter
report should be submitted to the Division no later than May 1, 2024.

Effective October 1, 2004, the Department requires that all work following the submittal of the
Limited Site Assessment Report (Title 15A NCAC 2L .0405) be preapproved if State Trust Fund
reimbursement is anticipated. To comply with this requirement, please submit a completed
Preapproval/Claim Authorization Form prior to beginning any requested activities. Upon completion of
the preapproved activities, you should submit your claim promptly. Reimbursement funds are budgeted
based on completed preapprovals, but lengthy delays in reimbursement can occur if claims are not
submitted immediately following work completion.

Please note that performing assessment and cleanup work that is not required under 15A NCAC 2L
.0400 is not reimbursable from the Commercial Leaking Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Cleanup
Funds.

If you have any questions regarding the actions that must be taken or the rules mentioned in this
letter, please contact me at the address or telephone number listed below. If you have any questions
regarding trust fund eligibility or reimbursement, please contact the UST Section Trust Fund Branch at
[phone].

Sincerely,
Liz Price
Hydrogeologist
