Dear Mr. Mavani:
The Site Check Report received by the UST Section, Division of Waste Management, Mooresville Regional
Office on June 1, 2023 has been reviewed. Also, a receptor survey was conducted which found nine (9)
total water supply wells within 1,500 feet of the site. Five of the wells are within 1,000 feet of the site. Two
of these five do not have municipal water connections. The review indicates soil contamination exceeds the
lower of the residential or soil-to-groundwater MSCCs referenced in Title 15A NCAC 2L .0411, and
groundwater contamination exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A NCAC 2L
.0202 Therefore, the UST Section hereby confirms that you must comply with assessment and reporting
requirements of Title 15A NCAC 2L .0405, within the timeframes specified in the attached rule.
The requirements of Title 15A NCAC 2L .0405 include the preparation and submittal of a Limited Site
Assessment (LSA) Report, in accordance with the rule and the most recent version of the UST Section
Assessment Guidelines, within 120 days of discovery of the release.
Because a release or discharge has been confirmed, a Licensed Geologist or a Professional Engineer,
certified by the State of North Carolina, is required to prepare and certify all reports submitted to the
Department of Environmental Quality in accordance with Title 15A NCAC 2L .0103(e) and 2L .0111(e).
Please note that before you sell, transfer, or request a “No Further Action” determination for a property that
has not been remediated to below “unrestricted use” standards, you must file a Notice of Residual Petroleum
(NRP) with the Register of Deeds in the county where the property is located (NCGS 143B-279.9 and 143B-279.10).
Failure to comply with the State's rules in the manner and time specified may result in the assessment
of civil penalties and/or the use of other enforcement mechanisms.
