Re: Notice of No Further Action

Risk-based Assessment and Corrective Action for
Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks

Skyland Distributing Facility
14 Weston Road, Arden
Buncombe County
Incident Number: 86033
Risk Classification: Low

Dear Mr. Black:

Information received by the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste Management,
Asheville Regional Office on August 30, 2023, has been reviewed. The review indicates that groundwater
contamination meets the cleanup requirements for a low-risk noncommercial site under Title 15A NCAC
2L .0202 and .0500, as modified by Session Law 2015-241, but contamination exceeds the limits allowed
for unrestricted closure of a site.

The UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. All required actions have
been completed. On August 30, 2023, the UST Section received the Notice of Residual Petroleum which
was recorded at the Buncombe County Register of Deeds (Book: 6343, Pages:1616 to 1621) and was
provided with proof of receipt of the conditional Notice of No Further Action letter or of refusal by the
addressee to accept delivery of the letter or with a description of the manner in which the letter was posted.

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 2L .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 contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A
NCAC 2L .0202, groundwater within the area where contamination is present or is expected to migrate is
not suitable for use as a water supply.

Interested parties may examine the incident file 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.

Sincerely,

Caroline E. LaFond, Regional Supervisor
