Risk Classification: Low
Ranking: 211D

Dear Ms. Draughn:

The Groundwater Monitoring Report received by the UST Section, Division of Waste Management,
Winston-Salem Regional Office on August 17, 2015 and the Notice of Residual Petroleum received on May
5, 2017 have been reviewed. The review indicates that groundwater contamination meets the cleanup
requirements for a low-risk site but exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A
NCAC 2L .0202.

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 NRP
(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 on receipt of confirmation that public notice
requirements have been completed, as described in the following paragraphs.

Be advised that as groundwater contamination exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in
Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202, groundwater within the area of contamination or within the area where
groundwater contamination is expected to migrate is not suitable for use as a water supply.

As groundwater contamination exceeds 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 exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A NCAC
2L .0202, public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0409(b) also is required. Thus, within 30 days
of receipt of this letter, a copy of the letter must be provided by certified mail, or 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 owners and occupants within or
contiguous to the area containing contamination, and all property owners and occupants within or
contiguous to the area where the contamination is expected to migrate. Within 60 days of receiving this
letter, this office must be provided with proof of receipt of the copy of the letter or of refusal by the
addressee to accept delivery of the copy of the letter or with a description of the manner in which the letter
was posted. Interested parties may examine the Groundwater Monitoring Report by contacting this regional
office and may submit comments on the site to the regional office at the address or telephone number listed
below.

This conditional No Further Action determination will not become valid until the UST Section
receives a certified copy of the Notice of Residual Petroleum which is filed with the Register of Deeds
and until public notice requirements are completed.

If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact me at the address or telephone number listed
below.
Sincerely,

Mindy Lepard
Hydrogeologist
