Re: Property Access Request
J D’s Country Store, 4549 Wilsons Mills Rd, Wilsons Mills, Johnston County
NCDWM-UST Incident Number: 29463, Risk Classification: Intermediate, Ranking: I175A

Mr. Rick Hester,

On behalf of Anthony Southerland, Terraquest Environmental Consultants, P.C. is hereby requesting
access to property you own in Wilsons Mills, NC with the Johnston County Parcel Identification
Number 169609-07-7395. Access is needed for the installation of two groundwater monitoring wells
that will be used to determine groundwater quality as it relates to a previous release of petroleum at
the former J D’s Country Store. The NC Department of Environmental Quality has requested that the
responsible party for that release, Anthony Southerland, install the wells. The work is part of an
ongoing investigation that will aid in constraining the extent of the contaminant plume and protect
public health.

If acceptable, the wells will be installed where depicted as on the enclosed Figure 1 and constructed
as noted on the enclosed Figure 2. There is no cost to you for the installation, sampling, or ultimate
abandonment of the wells.

If you feel that the agreement is acceptable, please sign one copy of the enclosed Access Agreement
Form and return it in the enclosed envelope as soon as possible. A second Access Agreement Form
is provided for your records. Questions can be directed to the NCDWM-UST’s incident manager for
this site, Kenneth Currie, at [phone] or via email at [e-mail]. Thank you!

Sincerely,
TERRAQUEST ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, P.C.
