Dear Mr. Ali:
The Limited Groundwater Sampling Assessment Report received by the UST Section, Division of Waste
Management, Winston-Salem Regional Office on September 9, 2023 has been reviewed. The review
indicates that benzene was detected in a groundwater sample collected in a boring near the underground
storage tank. Benzene might be from release from the underground storage tank system owned and operated
by Gas Town, Inc. up to November 1, 1989. 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 and UST Section Corrective Action 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
