Griffith’s General Store 4301 NC HWY 197 Green Mountain, Mitchell County, NC Incident Number 28511
Risk Classification: Low
Ranking: Low Dear Mr. Griffith:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of
Waste Management, Green Square Central Office indicates that soil contamination does exceed the soil screening levels established by the UST Section but is below the residential standards and the constituent specific groundwater contamination does not exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202.

The UST Section determines no further action is warranted for this incident. All required actions have been completed. As soil contamination exceeds the lower of the soil-to-groundwater or residential MSCCs, public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L. 0409(b) has been completed.
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. 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.
