Madison, Rockingham County Incident Number: 15561 Risk Classification: Intermediate Ranking (RRA): 170 Dear Ms. Kelly: This office of the UST Section, Division of Waste Management, has required Pyramid Environmental &
Engineering, P.C. to assess the horizontal and vertical extent of petroleum contamination at the above-
referenced site. In order to complete this requirement, Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, P.C. must
access your property. It is my understanding that Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, P.C. has made a
request to access your property for this purpose, but has not yet received a response from you.
Please note that 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2L .0106(b) states that any person conducting or
controlling an activity which results in the discharge of a waste, hazardous substance or oil to the
groundwater, or in proximity thereto, shall take immediate action to terminate and control the discharge,
mitigate any hazards resulting from exposure to the pollutants, and notify the Division of the discharge. As
a property owner, you may refuse to allow Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, P.C. to access your
property. You should be aware, however, that a refusal to allow access may result in a determination that
you are controlling an activity which results in the discharge of a waste, and that you could be held
responsible for assessment and remediation of any contamination since Pyramid Environmental &
Engineering, P.C. would be unable to complete the required work.
Please respond within 15 days of receipt of this letter and advise the Division if you intend to allow Pyramid
Environmental & Engineering, P.C. to access your property to perform the required work.

please contact me at the address or telephone number as shown below.
Sincerely,
Linda Estkowski
Hydrogeologist
