RE: Underground Storage Tank (UST) Closure Assessment Report
4331 Eagle Lake Drive North, Charlotte, North Carolina
Cedar Rock Project Number 377522590
Dear Ms. Harjes:
Cedar Rock Environmental, P.C. (Cedar Rock) is pleased to submit this report describing activities
and results for the in -place abandonment of the onsite UST located at 4331 Eagle Lake Drive North
in Charlotte, North Carolina. The UST abandonment was performed on December 21, 2023.
Included in this report are project documents consisting of a disposal manifest and photographic
documentation. This report should be kept with other documents pertaining to the residential
property.
Soil contamination was detected beneath the UST during a site inspection performed on December
15, 2023. The release was reported to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) using a
UST-61 form on December 18, 2023. Although the State no longer requires further assessment of
the contamination, the State does require the filing of a Notice of Residual Petroleum (NRP) prior
to conveying the property to another party. The NRP includes land use restrictions prohibiting
any disturbance of site soils within a specified radius of the estimated extent of soil contamination
and prohibits the use or installation of any water supply wells on the property. Cedar Rock is in
the process of filing the NRP. The DEQ should issue a Conditional Notice of No Further Action
(NFA) letter within the next several days. Upon receipt of proof that the local officials and adjacent
property owners have been notified of the release by receiving a copy of the Conditional NFA
letter, and that the NRP has been filed, the DEQ will reissue the NFA letter with no conditions to
officially close out the petroleum release incident.
Enclosed is an invoice for this work effort. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 336-684-2734. Thank you for your consideration of Cedar Rock to provide you with
this service.
Sincerely,
w�a
Robert A. Payne, L.G.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cedar Rock Environmental, P.C. (Cedar Rock) was contacted by Ms. Heather Harjes of Charlotte,
North Carolina to abandon in -place an underground storage tank (UST) located at 4331 Eagle Lake
Drive North in Charlotte, North Carolina. The UST was first inspected on December 15, 2023.
An inactive UST was observed to be located as shown in the Site Map. Both the fill and vent pipes
of the UST were observed to be intact with the vent pipe being angled over toward the foundation
wall. The depth to the top of the UST is approximately 24 inches below land surface (bls). A
portion of the UST was exposed during trenching operations by Duke Power. It appears the UST
was compromised during trenching. The UST has a length of about 80 inches with a diameter of
approximately 44 inches and a capacity of about 530 gallons. The UST was measured to contain
approximately 443 gallons of fluid. White flagging was installed to mark both ends of the UST
(see Photo 1). No other USTs used for storing heating oil were discovered on the property using
a metal detector to survey the outside perimeter of the residence where USTs are usually located.
No petroleum odors or stains were observed in the crawlspace.
Once the orientation of the UST was determined, a soil boring was performed at the location
marked on the Site Map using a %-inch diameter drill auger. The boring was advanced to a depth
of approximately 5.8 feet bls, about 0.1 feet below the bottom of the tank. A strong petroleum
odor and discoloration was observed in the soil at the base of the boring suggesting significant
leakage from the UST has occurred. The soil at the base of the boring consists of a gray sandy
silt.
The property is currently serviced by a municipal water supply. No water supply wells were
observed within 150 feet of the petroleum release. For this reason, the property should be classified
as "Low Risk" by the State.
2.0 PROJECT
The in -place abandonment of the UST was performed on December 21, 2023. The abandonment
consisted of the hand excavation of the remaining soils overlying the center of the UST to expose
the topside of the tank. A hole approximately 1.5 feet in diameter was then cut on the top of the
UST to allow for removal of the tank contents, cleaning and visual inspection of the UST interior,
and subsequent filling. The tank was pressure washed to remove all residual petroleum sludge.
Residual oil in the fuel lines was also removed by vacuum. The fuel lines were removed from the
basement. Approximately 514 gallons of fluid and sludge (including rinsate) were removed from
the UST. The fluid disposal manifest for the tank contents is included in Appendix A.
After the interior of the UST was cleaned, the tank was then entirely filled with an excavatable
flowable fill cement slurry (see Appendix B - Photographic Documentation).

Trudy,
See the attached NRP for this site. We might be meeting with Mark later today to get some
other NRPs signed if you have a chance to look at this one. I can also add an incident
number to it before filing if you have it. Thanks!

Hi Trudy
Attached is the UST-61 form for a release at the above site and a copy of our inspection
report. As noted on the UST-61 form, the Well Information System indicates the
presence of a drinking water supply well on the northeastern adjacent lot, which, if it
exists, may be within 150 feet of the release area. This lot is vacant and wooded. No well
was observed during the initial site inspection. We are scheduled to abandon the UST on
12/21 /23. The presence and location of any well on this lot will be confirmed during tank
abandonment activities.
