Incident Number: 47627
Risk Classification: Low

Dear Mr. Beroth: A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste Management, Mooresville Regional Office indicates that groundwater contamination meets the cleanup
requirements for a low-risk release under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and .0400, but contamination exceeds
the limits allowed for the unrestricted use of a site where closed under risk-based cleanup standards.
The UST Section determines the subject incident to be eligible conditionally for no further action status.
However, final approval of no further action status is contingent on the filing of the approved Notice of
Residual Petroleum (or NRP, see attached) with the Register of Deeds in the county in which the release is
located, verified by the receipt of a certified copy of the filed NRP by this office; and receipt of confirmation
that public notice requirements have been completed, as described below.
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.
As groundwater contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A
NCAC 2L .0202, pursuant to NCGS 143B-279.9 and 143B-279.11, you must file the approved Notice of
Residual Petroleum (attached) with the Register of Deeds in the county in which the release is located and
submit a certified copy to the UST Section within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
As groundwater contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202, public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0409(b) also is required. Within 30
days of receipt of this letter, a copy of this letter must be provided by certified mail (or otherwise be made
available by posting in a prominent place if certified mail is impractical,) to the local health director, the
chief administrative officer of each political jurisdiction in which the contamination occurs, all property
