(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 December 16, 2024, ATC mailed prenotification letters to the property owner and dry- cleaner operator/DSCA Petitioner. The purpose of the prenotification letters were to give the recipients advanced notice to public outreach activities as part of site-related work. The prenotification letters informed the recipients that survey forms and letters would be mailed to the surrounding public on December 23, 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 recipients were also given contact information for the ATC Project Manager and the DSCA Program Manager, in the event they had questions regarding the mailing, and an example letter that would be sent to the public. On December 23, 2024, ATC mailed Dry-Cleaning Solvent Contamination outreach letters to all owners of off-source properties located within 500 feet of A Cleaner World #701. 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 12 letters to property owners in the area inquiring about 16 total properties. Water Supply Well Information Request Forms were completed and returned for 11 properties. Based on the responses, no water supply wells were identified. In addition, ATC mailed Dry-Cleaning Solvent Contamination outreach letters to the Thomasville City Manager, the Davidson County Health Director, and the Davidson County Environmental Health Director via USPS on December 23, 2024. All letters included a figure Public Outreach Letter Report March 3, 2025 A Cleaner World #701, DSCA Site DC290008 Page 2 NCDEQ DSCA Program 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 and property owners that responded to the mailing is included as Figure 1. Copies of the prenotification letters, 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.
