Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks

Incident Number: 48895
Risk Classification: Low
Dear Jeffrey Noecker:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste
Management, Wilmington Regional Office indicates that soil and groundwater contamination meet the
cleanup requirements for a low-risk release under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and .0400, but contamination
exceeds the limits allowed for the unrestricted use of a site where closed under risk-based cleanup standards.
The UST Section determines the subject incident to be eligible conditionally for no further action status.
However, final approval of no further action status is contingent on the filing of the approved Notice of
Residual Petroleum (or NRP, see attached) with the Register of Deeds in the county in which the release is
located, verified by the receipt of a certified copy of the filed NRP by this office; and receipt of confirmation
that public notice requirements have been completed, as described below.
Be advised that, as contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A
NCAC 2L .0202, groundwater within the area where contamination is present or is expected to migrate is
not suitable for use as a water supply. Be advised that as soil contamination may exceed the residential
MSCCs, the property containing the soil contamination is suitable only for restricted residential use
("residential" being inclusive of, but not limited to, private houses, apartment complexes, schools, nursing
homes, parks, recreation areas and day care centers), as stipulated in the Notice of Residual Petroleum
(attached).
As groundwater contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A
NCAC 2L .0202, and soil contamination may exceed the residential MSCCs, pursuant to NCGS 143B-
279.9 and 143B-279.11, you must file the approved Notice of Residual Petroleum (attached) with the
Register of Deeds in the county in which the release is located and submit a certified copy to the UST
Section within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
