The purpose of this Summary of the NOI is to notify the community of the proposed remedy for the contamination site and invite comment on the proposed remedy.
Avalon Cleaners formerly conducted dry-cleaning operations at an unnamed outdoor shopping center at 682 Cary Towne Boulevard, in Cary, North Carolina.

An investigation of the extent of contamination has been completed. A risk assessment of the contaminated properties concluded that the contamination poses no unacceptable risks.
