Dear Mr. Gaither :
The Initial Abatement Action Report received by the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste Management, Mooresville Regional Office on July 17, 2023 has been reviewed.
The review indicates that after excavation of contaminated soil following spill site cleanup activities, soil
contamination does not exceed the applicable total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) screening limit.
The UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. 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 02L
.0407(a) you have a continuing obligation to notify the Department of Environmental Quality of any
changes that might affect the risk or land use classifications that have been assigned.
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.
If you have any questions regarding trust fund eligibility or reimbursement from the Commercial Leaking
