The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has adopted Risk-Based Assessment and Corrective Action procedures to evaluate and remediate releases from underground storage tanks. Please visit our website at: http://ust.enr.state.nc.us/ or call the Underground Storage Tank section at 919-733-8486 for the most recent information.

North Carolina groundwater quality standards are established in 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and are based on the use of groundwater for human consumption. These standards are used as cleanup levels for High Risk Releases. Alternate site specific standards may be used for High, Intermediate and Low Risk releases.
