Incident Number: 49249
Risk Classification: Low
Ranking: L0R

Dear Ms. Beech:

Information received by the UST Section, Division of Waste Management, Winston-Salem Regional Office
on October 25, 2023, has been reviewed. The review indicates that soil and groundwater contamination
meet the cleanup requirements for a low-risk noncommercial site under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and
.0400, but contamination exceeds the limits allowed for unrestricted closure of a site.

The UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. All required actions have
been completed. On November 20, 2023, the UST Section received a certified copy of the Notice of
Residual Petroleum which is filed with the Register of Deeds. On November 22, 2023, the UST Section
was provided with proof of receipt of the conditional Notice of No Further Action letter or of refusal by the
addressee to accept delivery of the letter or with a description of the manner in which the letter was posted.

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 2L .0407(a) you have a continuing obligation to notify the Department of any changes that
might affect the risk or land use classifications that have been assigned.

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. Be advised that as soil contamination may exceed the residential
MSCCs, the property containing the soil contamination is suitable only for restricted residential use
("residential" being inclusive of, but not limited to, private houses, apartment complexes, schools, nursing
homes, parks, recreation areas and day care centers), as stipulated in the Notice of Residual Petroleum.
