surface. All samples shall be collected as discrete samples for all constituents. Composite
samples will not be accepted. Sampling constituents include: zinc, chromium (total, hexavalent
and trivalent) and PAHs: Benz [a]anth racene, Benzo(j)fluoranthene, Benzo[a]pyrene,

soil analytical results compared to the NCDEQ Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs)
(both the Residential Health Based and the Protection of Groundwater PSRGs must be met),
and the associated laboratory reports from the NC certified laboratory including the chain of
custody and QA/QC results.
Additionally, by January 30, 2020, all remaining supersacks of tire char must to be removed and
sent to an MSWLF permitted to receive that waste. Please submit to me documentation of
proper disposal of this material.
Continue to take measures to prevent tire char and any other pollutants from contaminating
surface water, groundwater, and soil and implement best management practices to contain
waste including tire char dust.
I will conduct a follow up inspection in early February to see the corrective actions that have
taken place at PRTI, Inc. Please keep the Section posted on future progress. Should you have
any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me.
