Re: Health Risk Evaluation of Water Supply Tracking ID: Harold Smith Grocery, Incident #12913
Dear Mr. Neel: Please find attached the Sample Analytical Results for water samples collected from your well, identified as 2765 INF and 2765 EFF, located at 2765 Union Ridge Road, Burlington, Alamance County, on August 23, 2022. The samples were collected and analyzed as part of the investigation of a petroleum release in the vicinity. The water samples were analyzed for specific target analytes (contaminants), which are listed on the attached Sample Analytical Results. Contaminants were detected in the water samples, as shown on the attached Sample Analytical Results. Acetone is a common lab contaminant and is not related to the petroleum release. Because contaminants were detected in the water samples, a Health Risk Evaluation of the water supply
was performed by an environmental toxicologist in the Division of Waste Management. The Health Risk Evaluation, which is attached also, compares the detected concentration of contaminants to acceptable concentrations and provides a recommendation for safe use of the water.
If you have any questions, please contact Dave Lilley at [phone] or contact me at the address or telephone number listed below for the Winston-Salem Regional Office.
Sincerely,

Mindy Lepard Hydrogeologist Winston-Salem Regional Office UST Section, Division of Waste Management, NCDEQ Attachments: Neel Sample Analytical Results Health Risk Evaluation
