Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks

Brintle’s Truck Stop 125 Plaza Lane
Mount Airy, Surry County
Incident Number: 13363
Risk Classification: Low (Reduced from Intermediate)
Ranking: L41R

Dear Mr. Brintle:
The Groundwater Monitoring Report and Updated Receptor Survey received by the Underground Storage
Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste Management, Winston-Salem Regional Office on April 11, 2023
have been reviewed. The file review indicates that soil contamination does not exceed the lower of the
residential or soil-to-groundwater maximum soil contaminant concentrations (MSCCs) established in Title
15A NCAC 02L .0411. The report also indicates that contaminated groundwater does not exceed the level
of the groundwater quality standards or interim standards established in Title 15A NCAC 02L.0202.
Based on information provided to date, the UST Section finds it appropriate to reduce the risk classification
of the subject incident from intermediate to low. Furthermore, the UST Section determines that no further
action is warranted for this incident. This determination shall apply unless the UST Section later finds that
the discharge or release poses an unacceptable risk or a potentially unacceptable risk to human health or
the environment. Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02L .0407(a), you have a continuing obligation to notify the
Department of Environmental Quality of any changes that might affect the risk or land use classifications
that have been assigned.
This No Further Action determination applies only to the subject incident; for any other incidents at the
subject site, the responsible party must continue to address contamination as required.
