Re: Notice of No Further Action 15A NCAC 2L .0407(e) Risk-based Assessment and Corrective Action for Petroleum Underground
Storage Tanks
Pantry #520
415 S Trade Street Tryon, Polk County, NC UST Incident Number 6671
Risk Classification: Low
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Forbes:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste
Management, Winston-Salem 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 were closed under risk-based cleanup standards.
The UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. All required actions have
been completed. On 6/19/2023, the UST Section reviewed a certified copy of the Notice of Residual
Petroleum which is filed with the Register of Deeds on 6/4/2023 in book 478 and page 1139-1140.
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 any changes that
might affect the risk or land use classifications that have been assigned.
Be advised that as groundwater contamination exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in
Title 15A NCAC 02L .0202, groundwater within the area of contamination or within the area where
groundwater contamination is expected to migrate is not suitable for use as a water supply.
Interested parties may examine the site file information by contacting this regional office and may submit
comments on the site to the regional office at the address or telephone number listed below.
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.
