Re: Health Risk Evaluation of Water Supply Tracking ID: Harold Smith Grocery, Incident #12913
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lassiter: Please find attached the Sample Analytical Results for a water sample collected from your well, identified as 2773, located at 2773 Union Ridge Road, Burlington, Alamance County, on August 23, 2022. The sample was collected and analyzed as part of the investigation of a petroleum release in the vicinity. The water sample was analyzed for specific target analytes (contaminants), which are listed on the attached Sample Analytical Results. Contaminants were detected in the water sample, 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 sample, 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: Lassiter Sample Analytical Results Health Risk Evaluation
