Engineering License No. C-1598 NCDEQ DSCA Program November 8, 2024 Ms. Ariana Rivera North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Waste Management, Superfund Section 1646 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1646 RE: Public Outreach Letter Report Lane’s Cleaners 212 East Cornwallis Street Greensboro, Guilford County, NC DSCA Site ID DC410065 Dear Ms. Rivera: ATC Associates of North Carolina, P.C. (ATC) has prepared this report to document public outreach activities at the above referenced site. The work was performed under contract to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Dry-cleaning Solvent Cleanup Act Program as authorized in State Lead Authorization for Work #001. On August 21, 2024, ATC mailed a prenotification letter to the source property owner/DSCA Petitioner. The purpose of the prenotification letter was to give the recipient advanced notice to public outreach activities as part of site-related work. The prenotification letter informed the recipient that survey forms and letters would be mailed to the surrounding public on August 28, 2024, which serve two main purposes: (1) to inform the public about the ongoing assessment and (2) to gather data on potential water supply wells in the vicinity. The recipient was also given contact information for the ATC Project Manager and the DSCA Program Manager, in the event the owner had questions regarding the mailing, and an example letter that would be sent to the public. On August 28, 2024, ATC mailed Dry-Cleaning Solvent Contamination outreach letters to all owners of off-source properties located within 500 feet of the Lane’s Cleaners site. Each letter was mailed via United States Postal Service (USPS) and was accompanied by a Water Supply Well Information Request Form to be filled out and returned to ATC in the provided self- addressed and stamped envelope. ATC issued 29 letters to property owners in the area inquiring about 46 properties. Water Supply Well Information Request Forms were completed and returned for 30 properties. One letter was returned to ATC as undeliverable. Based on the responses, no water supply wells were identified. Public Outreach Letter Report November 8, 2024 Lane’s Cleaners, DSCA Site DC410065 Page 2 NCDEQ DSCA Program In addition, ATC mailed Dry-Cleaning Solvent Contamination outreach letters to the Interim Greensboro City Manager, the Guilford County Health Director, and the Guilford County Environmental Health Supervisor via USPS on August 28, 2024. All letters included a figure indicating which property owners in the site vicinity would receive an outreach letter. ATC did not receive comments from any entity in response to the outreach letters. A public outreach table with response information is included as Table 1. A public outreach map indicating property owners that were notified, property owners that responded to the mailing, and letters that were undeliverable is included as Figure 1. Copies of the prenotification letter that was sent to the source property owner, letters sent to the local government entities, and an example letter sent to private property owners are included as Appendix A. ATC appreciates the opportunity to assist you with this project. If you have questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us at (919) 871-0999.
