Yes; See Section 1 below New expiration date 2/28/2029 Comments on Draft Permit? See Section 6(below) Section 1. Facility Activities and Process: Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. is a wood treatment facility that treats utility poles using chromated copper arsenate (CCA). Per information provided via email 4/25/2023, the facility no longer uses Penta and only treats wood with CCA. The facility previously used pentachlorophenol (penta) for wood treatment but ceased in April 2022. At specific customer requests, the site will add a water-soluble oil treatment to keep the poles soft for climbing. With the permit renewal application,permittee requested the following changes: • Removal of dioxins from monitoring requirements and continued monitoring of pentachlorophenol only be continued as dioxins are entering the stormwater from offsite and dioxins found in stormwater are in the particulate form, so monitoring would not reflect a water concentration. • Removal of monitoring for penta as Carolina Pole must transition to another preservative system. • Substitute monitoring for chromium III rather than copper as stormwater from offsite already contains copper at levels exceeding the benchmark of 10 ppb. Per information available in the permit file, the site is a brownfield site. An email dated 5/10/2005 from Daphne Olszewski (Brownfields Program Manager) states dioxins were discovered onsite and two areas would be capped. Requested dioxin monitoring be added in order to simplify RCRA regulation of the site. Per the 2018 review document, the materials used on site for wood treatment indicate that dioxin may be in the material used(PCP) or produced with some of the treatment activities (heating of PCP), and that it was also possible dioxin is due to past activities at the site. An email dated 2/23/2018 states Pentachlorophenol concentrate contains microcontaminants of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated phenols, CDDs, and CDFs. Diesel fuel was used to dilute pentachlorophenol concentrate from 40%to between 5-9%, and the diluted PCP was the wood treatment solution. Per an email dated 1/24/2024 from the Division of Waste Management(DWM), the site is still considered a Brownfields site and will likely remain a Brownfields site for a very long time. Page 1 of 8 Per information provided by the DEQ Division of Waste Management(DWM) (via email dated 1/29/2024), there are 2 areas capped and dioxins are present on site. Historical contaminants at the site include arsenic, organics including PAHs, chromium, copper,pentachlorophenol, and dioxins. The property owner is required to maintain the existing caps and to continue to monitor groundwater conditions annually for VOCs, SVOCs, and metals and monitor soil every 5 years for dioxins, arsenic, and pentachlorophenol. More recently there have been releases of pentachlorophenol and copper chromated arsenic to uncoated concrete in multiple areas of their facility, and the HWS required a soil assessment around the transfer deck concrete slab and the sub-slab area adjacent to the inactive steam line/filter press, which found exceedances for arsenic and pentachlorophenol in all samples collected and hexavalent chromium in some of the samples. They also had a release of copper chromated arsenate product in December 2022 and a fire in the kiln building (no releases associated with the fire) around April 2023. Outfall SW001: Drainage area consists of treated material storage areas, diesel tank, scale, peeler, boiler, maintenance, treating plant tanks, and a drip bay. Potential pollutants include CCA, wood chips, bark, diesel, and oil. Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES regulations define stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR §122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying storm water and that is directly related to manufacturing,processing or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122. For the categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to, storm water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or byproducts used or created by the facility; material handling sites; refuse sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process waste waters (as defined at part 401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and receiving areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the purposes of this paragraph, material handling activities include storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas located on plant lands separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and accompanying parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm water [sic] drained from the above described areas." Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History: • June 2018 to July 2022,benchmarks exceeded for: o TSS Ix o Copper 3x o Penta Ix o Dioxin was detected in every sample taken o pH min not reached 1 x o June 2020 toluene sample was not down sampled to benchmark level—unable to determine if actually above benchmark or not Page 2 of 8 • Previous permit required monitoring for benzene, toluene, and total xylene during 2020 only (no benchmarks) o Monitoring was not conducted • Previous permit required a feasibility study for dioxin to reduce dioxin discharges from the facility. o Study results were due by 4/30/2020; received 4/28/2020 • Per the July 2023 inspection report, the facility has changed methods from oil-based application to water-based application. The facility keeps less inventory on site than previously and the treated poles are kept onsite no more than a week before being shipped out. 303(d) listing: #urgeon Creek " ;5w 5.

Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges: The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities and data was submitted for June 2018 to July 2022. Quantitative sampling included pH, TSS, arsenic, copper,penta, COD, O&G, dioxin, benzene, toluene, and xylene. Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling results, and in some cases, dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the drainage area). Below is a table of the proposed monitoring for each outfall at the Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. site. Page 3 of 8 Outfall SW001 Quarterly monitoring Total Suspended Solids BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area and BMP effectiveness (TSS) indicator. Quarterly monitoring pH BASIS: Pollutant indicator Quarterly monitoring Total Rainfall BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Non-Polar Oil &Grease BASIS: Potential pollutant from lubricants; Method 1664 SGT-HEM targets petroleum-based O&G Quarterly monitoring Monthly Oil Usage BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring BOD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring COD BASIS: Discharge potential indicator Quarterly monitoring Total Arsenic BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring Total Chromium BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring Total Copper BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring Dioxin BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring Pentachlorophenol BASIS: Potential pollutant from drainage area Quarterly monitoring Total Hardness BASIS: Monitoring required for hardness dependent metals Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits,North Carolina NPDES Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks are numerical action levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent limits, and benchmark exceedances are not permit violations. Benchmarks provide facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in stormwater discharges and the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark Page 4 of 8 concentrations are intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP). Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered program. The permit establishes a tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must take in response to analytical results above benchmark concentrations. The tiered structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide flexibility to address issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls. Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the guidance of DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute standards when developing the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals benchmarks normally reflect one half of the calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2 FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is based on an assumed hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L. Acute standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher levels of chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting Program applies this approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events. The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some outfalls is adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For example, one or more metals or other parameters may serve as an adequate tracer for the presence of ash pollution during disturbance or ash removal in specific drainage areas at this site. For parameters that do not have a stormwater benchmark, the Division may develop a benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available or if rising trends in concentrations suggest a persistent source. A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below: Parameter Benchmark Basis Total Suspended 100 mg/L National Urban Runoff Program(NURP) Study, 1983 Solids TSS H 6 s.u. —9 s.u. NC Water Quality Standard(Range) Non-Polar Oil & Review of other state's daily maximum benchmark Grease 15 mg/L concentration for this more targeted O&G;NC WQS that EPA Method 1664 does not allow oil sheen in waters SGT-HEM BOD 30 mg/L BPJ; Based on Secondary Treatment Regulation(40 CFR 133.03 COD 120 mg/L BPJ; Generally found at levels 4x BOD5 in domestic wastewaters Arsenic Total 340 /L Acute Aquatic Criterion, '/2 FAV '/2 FAV; Based on (Cr III+Cr VI) acute thresholds and Chromium (Total) 905 µg/L assumption that industrial activities here are not a source of hexavalent chromium Copper Total 10 /L Acute Aquatic Criterion, '/2 FAV Dioxin Detection Dioxins are bioaccumulants; Any detection is recognition of a problem Pentachlorophenol 19 µg/L '/2 FAV at pH 7.8 Page 5 of 8 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the EPA and NC's pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's maintains that implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional stormwater management practices that control the source of pollutants meets the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology(BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site-specific plans to minimize and control pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §122.44(k)(2) authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent limitations in NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may also impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry out the purposes of the Act under the authority of 40 CFR 122.44(k)(3). The conditions proposed in this draft permit are included under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention and BMP requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the application of BAT/BCT. Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee to propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region: • Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. • If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee may propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional Engineer. The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring changes sooner than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives guidance on one option to take. For example, the permittee may request that mercury only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or that only parameters over the benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the monitoring scheme for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification. Other Proposed Requirements: • It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)requirements to include an annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those discharges are permitted or otherwise authorized. • Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies or creates any new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that changes potential pollutants. • The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and consider the safety of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the permit. • Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). If a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the EPA. • Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls throughout year. Page 6 of 8 Section 4. Changes from previous permit to draft: • Regulatory citations have been added • Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters (qualitative and quantitative) • "No discharge" clarifications made • Feasibility study and online SWPPP requirements have been removed per updated stormwater program requirements • eDMR requirement added • Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer attached • Outfall-specific monitoring been implemented to reflect industrial activity and potential pollutants specific to each discharge area • Permit condition for dioxin feasibility study removed as the study was received by DEMLR on 4/28/2020 • Monitoring for BOD added based on materials stored onsite • Monitoring for total chromium added due to CCA usage onsite • Monitoring for penta, benzene, toluene, and xylene have been removed as penta is no longer used as a wood treatment process • Monitoring for total hardness added as monitoring for hardness dependent metals is required • Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Standards group on stormwater benchmarks Section 5. Changes from draft to final: • Monitoring for pentachlorophenol added back into the permit o Potential pollutant of concern due to previous usage in industrial process, one benchmark exceedance during previous permit cycle, and DWM provided information regarding a release of penta o Footnote added regarding sampling during release and spills o Removal can be considered at next renewal • Monitoring for dioxin reduced to annually o Potential pollutant of concern due to previous usage in industrial process o Footnote added regarding sampling during release and spills o Removal can be considered at next renewal Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office: • Initial contact with facility: 4/6/2023 • Initial contact with Regional Office: 4/6/2023 • Draft sent to CO peer review: 11/15/2023 • Draft sent to Regional Office: 12/15/2023 • Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 1/31/2024 Page 7 of 8 Section 7. Comments received on draft permit: • Michael Rouse (Carolina Pole Leland, Inc.; via email 1/8/2024): Carolina Pole is requesting that the dioxin monitoring requirement be removed when the final permit is issued. (see attached document for full comments) o DEMLR response: Dioxin is a pollutant of concern due to its historical usage for wood treatment at the site. Additionally, it has come to the Stormwater Program's attention that pentachlorophenol is still a potential pollutant of concern after reviewing information provided by the DEQ Division of Waste Management(DWM). Therefore monitoring for dioxin shall remain in the permit and monitoring for pentachlorophenol will be added back into the permit.

Brunswick County Dear Ms. Young: Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. (Carolina Pole) has reviewed the Draft Permit, NCS 000222, which was transmitted to us on December 15, 2023. Although the draft permit is generally as expected, there is one provision that was not expected. That provision is the requirement to monitor for dioxins, and Carolina Pole would like to provide comments on that provision, seeking its removal from the final permit. Our environmental consultants discussed the dioxin monitoring requirements in our present permit with DEQ representatives during the preparation of the application for renewal in 2021. This issue was discussed with Ms. Bethany Georgoulias and Ms. Aana Gamble. After discussing the issue with Ms. Gamble, and providing background information, Ms. Gamble indicated that monitoring for dioxins was not typically required of industrial facilities and that she thought it would be possible to eliminate it from the Carolina Pole permit since the basis for requiring the analysis, the use of pentachlorophenol at the site, was no longer applicable since pentachlorophenol is no longer available in the U.S. Although DEQ removed the requirement to monitor for pentachlorophenol, it retained the requirement to monitor for dioxins. Carolina Pole is requesting that the dioxin monitoring requirement be removed when the final permit is issued. Although the basis of this request was submitted in the permit application, Carolina Pole would like to provide additional information in these comments in support of this request. The basis of the request to discontinue dioxin monitoring is based on regulatory, technical, and monetary considerations. The transmittal letter with the draft permit states: "Monitoring for dioxins shall remain in the permit as dioxins are present in the stormwater being discharged from the site." If that is the basis for requiring dioxin analyses, then every stormwater permit should contain a requirement to monitor for dioxins because it is impossible to take a stormwater sample NC DEINLR Stormwater Permitting Program Attn: Brianna Young January 08,2024 Re: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit NPDES Permit NCS 000222 Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. Brunswick County Page 2 at any location, even pristine and remote locations, that does not contain detectable levels of dioxins. Given the analytical methods available today, it is impossible to take any environmental sample of soil or surface water and have the results be ND for all the dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (DDLCs), generally due to the deposition of airborne particulates containing DDLCs. So, the stormwater leaving every industrial site, every highway, every parking lot, and every municipal storm sewer system will contain detectable levels of DDLCs. This is confirmed by testing of stormwater that enters the Carolina Pole site from off-site as reported in the Carolina Pole permit application. The ubiquitous nature of DDLCs makes them a poor candidate for stormwater monitoring purposes unless there is a recognized source of DDLCs on the site being monitored, as was the case for the Carolina Pole site when it was using pentachlorophenol as a wood preservative. Now that this potential source is no longer present at the site, there is no regulatory basis to continue this monitoring. There is already 15 years of site DDLC monitoring data available indicating its presence in stormwater entering the site from off-site sources as well as leaving the site in the monitored outfall. There are now no on-site activities that could be contributing DDLCs to the stormwater, other than air emissions from the boiler or mobile equipment operated at the site. Many hundreds of industrial, commercial, and governmental sites in North Carolina have boilers or other combustion sources and mobile equipment operating on their sites, and Carolina Pole is not aware of any of these sites being required to monitor for DDLCs. Continued monitoring will find the presence of DDLCs in every sample, requiring immediate notifications and putting the site into the Tier 3 response mechanism, when there is nothing the site can do to mitigate these positive results. There are presently no State surface water standards for DDLCs, so there is no basis for the determination of whether the concentrations found entering the site in stormwater from off-site or exiting the site at the permitted outfall are acceptable. For the metals and other site monitoring parameters, there are some water quality standards or benchmarks to serve as tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the facility stormwater pollution prevention activities. As explained earlier, the stated benchmark for DDLCs, of non-detectable, is unreasonable, as every stormwater sample taken anywhere in the State of North Carolina would contain detectable levels of DDLCs. Given the above discussion, it would appear that monitoring for DDLCs in the Carolina Pole outfall will not provide any new data that would be of any utility to the facility or the regulatory agency. From a technical perspective, monitoring for DDLCs in stormwater is unproductive because the compounds have very, very, low water solubilities and very high partition coefficients. This means that most of the DDLCs present in the stormwater exist in particulate form or sorbed to particulate matter. This is demonstrated by the data submitted with the application that shows measured concentrations for some congeners that are several orders of magnitude higher than the aqueous solubility of the congener. Given this fact, it is impossible to use the data for aquatic or other toxicity evaluations because there is no basis to estimate the bioavailability of the congeners reported as present. The previous regulatory and technical discussions are presented to support the removal of the requirement to monitor for DDLCs, but the more important aspect from the facility's perspective is that of the cost to perform these analyses. A reasonable estimate for one analysis of DDLCs is $1,0001sample, including transportation and sampling supplies. Although Carolina Pole only has one outfall that requires monitoring for DDLCs, there are at least two locations where stormwater NC DEMLR Stormwater Permitting Program Attn: Brianna Young January 08,2024 Re: Draft NPDES Slormwater Permit NPDES Permit NCS 000222 Carolina Pole Leland,Inc. Brunswick County Page 3 from off-site locations combines with on-site flows before the combined flows leave through the permitted outfall. Data contained in the permit application showed that this flow from off-site locations contained DDLCs. Since the facility will immediately be in the Tier 3 Response category, the facility would be required to monitor on a monthly basis. In order to demonstrate the potential impact from off-site, the facility would have to take a minimum of two samples where stormwater enters the site, in addition to the facility outfall sample. It is likely that a downstream sample would also be required. Therefore, the facility would be required to take four samples per month, resulting in an expected cost of$4,000 per month, or $48,000 per year, to provide data that is of very limited value to the DEQ. This would be a substantial waste of monetary resources and could lead to demands for facility responses that are costly, unreasonable, and ineffective. The 15 years of already available data is more than adequate to provide data on the concentrations of DDLCs in the facility outfall, as well as off-site contributions. With the cessation of the use of pentachlorophenol resulting in the lack of storage of pentachlorophenol-treated wood in outdoor locations, there should be no need for future monitoring of DDLCs in the facility stormwater. It would be known with certainty that any potential previous DDLC surface water impact from facility operations is now greatly reduced, to that expected from any other similar industrial facility, for which monitoring is not typically required. If the DEQ evaluation of this request is not viewed favorably, Carolina Pole would request a meeting to discuss this issue further in order to develop an understanding of the basis for the DEQ position, why the agency needs this data and what it will be used for, and what other industrial facilities or cities in North Carolina are being required to monitor stormwater for DDLCs. Carolina Pole would like to understand how the decision to require, or not require, DDLC monitoring is made for a particular permit, given the understanding that the stormwater from all of these industrial facilities and municipalities will contain measurable levels of DDLCs. Carolina Pole appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments on the draft permit and looks forward to a positive resolution of the issue we have identified. Please let us know if additional information is needed. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, CAROL PA POLE LELA D, INC. Michael Rouse Assistant Operations Manager cc: H. M. Rollins Company, Inc.

The analytes of concern identified from the soil sampling requested by the Hazardous Waste Section include Arsenic (note several locations were over Brownfield Limit of 100 mg/kg), with a few other analytes of concern identified Pentachlorophenol, Copper, and Chromium.The sampling location is provided in the results report attached.The site will be implementing a groundwater sampling plan (also attached), (installing new wells in area by the Hazardous Waste drip pad operation) per 2.4 and 3.0 below and summarized from the groundwater sampling plan 2.4 Groundwater Sample Analysis The groundwater sample analysis will be via the following methods,which were also used for the concrete cleaning test evaluation performed at the facility in 2022: • Pentachlorophenol—Method 8151A(extraction and analysis) • Arsenic/Copper/Chromium— Method 3005A(preparation) and EPA 6020B (analysis) 3.0 DATA EVALUATION Following receipt of the analytical results,the unfiltered sample analytical results will be compared with the 15A NCAC 2L groundwater standard for arsenic (10 µg/L),chromium (10 µg/L), copper(1 mg/L), and pentachlorophenol (0.3 µg/L). Depending on the unfiltered sample analytical results,the filtered sample analytical results may also be considered, along with the turbidity data collected during purging. When scheduled for implementation later in 2024,this groundwater sampling plan under the Hazardous Waste Section will be overseen by Josh Hanks, hydrogeologist for the Compliance Branch Hazardous Waste Section. You may want to review the SW Permit and determine if these analytes are covered in SW Sampling? Thank you for your consideration.

The Brownfields Redevelopment Section (BRS) does not remediate sites, but mitigates the risks in order to make it safe to use. The capping of the dioxins and any remedial work that was done at the site was done under the supervision and direction of the Hazardous Waste Section(HWS) of DWM, and thus mitigated the risks at the site to acceptable levels. Autumn Romanski, with HWS, should be able to answer some of your questions more completely, if needed. I have copied her on this response. The bottom line, however,from a Brownfields standpoint is that anything currently present at the site is either being contained at levels that do not present a risk(historical releases), or is currently being addressed by the HWS(resent issues, including a fire at the site). If your required monitoring reporting has not shown any exceedances of any of your requirements/restrictions/standards, or presented any other red flags for you,then containment would appear to successful at the site.And as such would not be an issue with the BRS. However, if there have been any red flags, or violations, we would like to be aware of those. Part of the requirements for the Brownfields Agreement is that they must remain compliant with the rules/regulations of all other agencies. Let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss further. Thanks, Samuel P.

The request was made on the basis of the results of soil sampling and analysis performed by Koppers and reported to NCDEQ in a letter dated November 29, 2022. The December 7, 2004 MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. Assessment Report determined that the uppermost groundwater was present in a predominantly fine-to medium-grained sand unit, and concluded that the uppermost groundwater flow direction at the facility was to the southeast. However, because the areas of investigation are in a heavily trafficked operational area of the facility, and because groundwater quality and groundwater flow direction information in this investigation area is limited, the investigation will use temporary wells to provide preliminary groundwater quality and groundwater flow information. This information will be evaluated and used to determine the need for, and location of, any permanent monitoring wells that may be installed to provide further information. Six temporary monitoring wells will be installed at the generalized locations shown on Figure 1. These locations were selected to: • Be in close proximity to the areas of investigation; • Provide sufficient areal coverage of the areas of investigation to allow an evaluation of groundwater quality and flow direction, taking into consideration the presumed southeasterly groundwater flow direction; and • Be in areas that are relatively protected from normal plant traffic/operations to prevent damage during the investigation process. One or more of the temporary monitoring well locations shown on Figure 1 may be adjusted in the field in response to access constraints or other considerations. The location adjustments, if any, will be minimized to the extent possible, and the reason(s)for adjusting the location(s)will be documented. 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK The following sections describe the work scope for the groundwater quality investigation. 2.1 Temporary Monitoring Well Installation The temporary monitoring wells will be installed using direct-push equipment. Because the depth to the water table in the areas of investigation is known to occur at an average depth of four to seven feet below ground level, the total depth of the temporary wells will be 13 feet. The temporary wells will be installed using drive casing equipped with expendable points. The drive casing will be advanced to the termination depth; a one-inch diameter, ten-foot length, threaded, flush-joint PVC well screen with solid riser will be inserted into the tooling (resulting in a screened interval of three to 13 feet below ground surface); and the tooling will be extracted from the ground while holding the screen/riser in place. During tooling extraction, 1 GROUNDWATER CHARACTERIZATION WORK PLAN KOPPERS CAROLINA POLE LELAND, NORTH CAROLINA REVISED APRIL 2023 filter sand will be slowly poured into the annulus between the well screen/riser and the drive casing. Additional filter sand will be added to the well annulus as appropriate following the complete extraction of the tooling. Hydrated bentonite pellets will be installed into the annulus at ground surface. The drive casing will be decontaminated prior to use, between each temporary well installation, and following completion of all temporary well installations by washing with potable water and detergent. 2.2 Temporary Monitoring Well Surveying and Development Following installation, the temporary wells will be developed using a peristaltic pump. Development activities will continue until the extracted groundwater is visibly free of significant turbidity, or it is determined in the field that the turbidity level cannot be further reduced. The temporary well locations will also be surveyed and mapped in relation to other fixed reference points (structures), and the top-of-riser elevations will be surveyed established to an elevation to ±0.01 foot in relation to existing site datum. 2.3 Temporary Monitoring Well Sampling The temporary monitoring wells will be allowed to stand undisturbed for at least one day following the completion of well development activities. Prior to purging/sampling, depth-to-water level measurements will be collected to±0.01 foot at each well. Monitoring wells will be purged prior to sampling using a peristaltic pump and low-flow techniques, with a targeted flow rate of one liter per minute. The well will be pumped until the discharged groundwater is visibly free of significant turbidity, or it is determined in the field that the turbidity level cannot be further reduced. An in-line water quality measurement device will then be used to continuously monitor groundwater quality indicator parameters. The water quality indicator parameters will include pH, redox potential (ORP), specific conductance, dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity. Measurements will be taken every five minutes. Stabilization will be considered to be complete after all parameters meet the following stabilization criteria for three successive measurement periods: • Turbidity: 10%for values greater than 5 nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU); if three Turbidity values are less than 5 NTU, consider the values as stabilized; • DO: 10% for values greater than 0.5 milligrams per liter(mg/L); if three DO values are less than 0.5 mg/L, consider the values are stabilized; • Specific Conductance: 3%; • Temperature: 3%; • pH: +/- 0.1 unit; and • ORP: +/- 10 mv. Purging and sampling information will be recorded in groundwater purge and sampling logs. An example log form is included as Attachment A. 2 GROUNDWATER CHARACTERIZATION WORK PLAN KOPPERS CAROLINA POLE LELAND, NORTH CAROLINA REVISED APRIL 2023 It should be noted that it may be determined in the field, following the removal of a minimum of three equivalent casing volumes of groundwater, that stabilization of one or more field parameters is not possible. In such a case, the details will be recorded in the field notes and the sample will be collected. In the event that a well purges to dryness, the well will be allowed to recover and the purging flow rate will be adjusted downward. In the event that the well continues to purge to dryness, the details will be recorded in the field notes and the well will be allowed to recover sufficiently to collect the sample. Following completion of the purging process, the low-flow sampling equipment will continue to be operated to collect groundwater samples. The groundwater samples will be collected for pentachlorophenol (unfiltered), and arsenic/copper/chromium (filtered and unfiltered) analysis. The filtered samples will be collected by routing the water flow through in-line 0.45-micron filters with discharge to pre-preserved sample bottles. Sample collection will include one duplicate sample from a field-selected well location. Samples will be placed on ice in a cooler pending transport under chain-of-custody procedures to the analytical laboratory. Following completion of sampling, the temporary well materials will be removed and the resulting borehole will be backfilled with hydrated bentonite chips. 2.4 Groundwater Sample Analysis The groundwater sample analysis will be via the following methods, which were also used for the concrete cleaning test evaluation performed at the facility in 2022: • Pentachlorophenol —Method 8151A(extraction and analysis) • Arsenic/Copper/Chromium — Method 3005A(preparation) and EPA 6020B (analysis) 2.5 Investigation Derived Waste Management The direct-push temporary monitoring well installation methodology does not generate cuttings. The water generated during drive casing decontamination, and temporary monitoring well development and purging activities will be collected and placed in the facility's process water management system. Following removal from the ground, the temporary well PVC well screen and riser materials will be placed in drums with hazardous waste generated in facility operations and disposed with that waste. 3.0 DATA EVALUATION Following receipt of the analytical results, the unfiltered sample analytical results will be compared with the 15A NCAC 2L groundwater standard for arsenic (10 pg/L), chromium (10 pg/L), copper(1 mg/L), and pentachlorophenol (0.3 pg/L). Depending on the unfiltered sample analytical results, the filtered sample analytical results may also be considered, along with the turbidity data collected during purging. A letter report of findings will be prepared that includes a description of the work performed (with supporting 3 GROUNDWATER CHARACTERIZATION WORK PLAN KOPPERS CAROLINA POLE LELAND, NORTH CAROLINA REVISED APRIL 2023 documentation), an evaluation of the groundwater flow direction, an evaluation of the groundwater quality results, and recommendations for further investigation activities, if any. 4.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE The facility is currently undergoing major production area upgrades, which have resulted in significant process equipment cleaning/decommissioning, and process upgrade construction activities in the general area of excavation. It is anticipated that the construction activities would interfere with the groundwater quality investigation activities, and vice versa. In order to avoid such interferences, which could potentially result in damage to one or more of the temporary monitoring wells during the period while those wells are in service, it is recommended that the groundwater quality investigation take place following the completion of the plant upgrades, which is currently targeted for the second quarter of 2024. In the event that the area of investigation becomes accessible prior to the completion of these upgrade activities for a sufficient amount of time to complete the groundwater characterization work, and the well installation contractor and field sampling personnel are available, Koppers may elect to move forward with the groundwater characterization. In that case, Koppers will provide NCDEQ with a minimum two-week advance notice that the field work will take place. 4 FIGURE INACTIVE STEAM LINE/FILTER PRESS AREA y 1_ z NORTH "fai TRANSFER DECK SLAB AREA _ J 1 LIZ 3bt a 4 b � ' g 4 t r LEGEND FIGURE 1 — TEMPORARY WELL TEMPORARY WELL LOCATIONS REFERENCE: SCALE — FEET — PRESUMED DIRECTION of SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN GOOGLE EARTH — SEPTEMBER 2021. 0 200 GROUNDWATER FLOW APPROVED DIRK 03/22/2023 TOWN OF LELAND KU Resources,Inc.

Work was generally performed pursuant to the September 2022 Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) that was approved by NCDEQ on September 16, 2022, and consisted of the collection and analysis of discrete soil samples collected from multiple locations. Deviations from the SAP protocols were either recommended to NCDEQ representatives or requested by NCDEQ representatives during the implementation of field activities. Two areas of the facility were subject to the SAP investigation activities: • The areas immediately adjacent to the east and west sides of the Transfer Deck concrete slab, for the purpose of evaluating soil quality conditions that may be the result of precipitation runoff from that concrete slab; and • The sub-slab area adjacent to an inactive steam line/filter press, for the purpose of evaluating the potential that constituents associated with observed staining on the concrete had migrated to the subsurface via cracks and gaps in the concrete slab. In addition to the SAP-directed activities, grid-based composite soil samples were collected and analyzed from the east and west sides of the Transfer Deck following the protocols established for the facility's NCDEQ Brownfields Agreement activities. The soil sample locations are shown on Figure 1. Soil samples were collected using direct-push sampling equipment. Notes regarding field sampling activities are included as Attachment A. A NCDEQ RCRA Inspection Report also describing the field sampling activities is included as Attachment B. The laboratory analytical results for the SAP and grid-based samples are summarized on Table 1. Laboratory analytical reports are included as Attachment C. As shown on Table 1, and pursuant to the SAP, the analytical results for the SAP samples were compared with the NCDEQ Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs) for data evaluation purposes. Site-specific concentration-based worker risk standards have also been established under the Brownfields Agreement; these standards were also used as comparison values. Both sets of comparison values are also shown on Table 1. 22 South Linden Street I Duquesne, PA 15110 1 412.469.9331 1 412.469.9336 fax Autumn Romanski November 29,2022 Page 2 SUMMARY OF RESULTS The following summarizes the results for each area investigated. Transfer Deck Area— East Side: The samples from the east side of the Transfer Deck (locations TD-3, TD-5, and TD-6) all had arsenic and pentachlorophenol concentrations that were above the PSRG. The arsenic concentrations were above the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard of 100 mg/kg in TD-3 (113 mg/kg) and TD-5 (220 mg/kg). The pentachlorophenol concentrations were all notably below the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard. A sample-by-sample comparison of total chromium and hexavalent chromium concentrations indicates that the chromium detected in the soil samples is primarily trivalent in form. No total chromium concentrations exceeded the PSRG; TD-3 and TD-5 had hexavalent chromium concentrations that were above the PSRG (0.99 mg/kg and 3.85 mg/kg, respectively versus a 0.31 mg/kg PSRG). The facility's Brownfields Agreement has not established a site-specific worker risk standard for total or hexavalent chromium. No other constituents were detected at concentrations that exceeded their respective PSRGs. The Brownfields Agreement protocol grid-based sampling results for arsenic and pentachlorophenol did not exceed their respective Brownfields Agreement risk-based standards. Transfer Deck Area— West Side: The samples from the west side of the Transfer Deck (locations TD- 1/TD-7D (duplicate), TD-2, and TD-4) all had arsenic and pentachlorophenol concentrations that were above the PSRG. The arsenic concentration was above the Brownfield Program standard of 100 mg/kg in TD-1 (117 mg/kg). The pentachlorophenol concentrations were all notably below the Brownfield Program standard. A sample-by-sample comparison of total chromium and hexavalent chromium concentrations indicates that the chromium detected in the soil samples is primarily trivalent in form. No total chromium concentrations exceeded the PSRG; TD-4 had a hexavalent chromium concentration that was above the PSRG (0.814 mg/kg versus a 0.31 mg/kg PSRG). The Brownfield Program has not established a site- specific worker risk standard for total or hexavalent chromium. No other constituents were detected at concentrations that exceeded their respective PSRGs. The Brownfields Agreement protocol grid-based sampling results for arsenic and pentachlorophenol did not exceed their respective Brownfields Agreement risk-based standards. Inactive Steam Line/Filter Press Area: Soil samples were collected from two borings, in close proximity to each other, from a cracked area in the concrete slab. Samples were collected from two depth intervals at location SL1 (2.9—4 feet and 4.5—5 feet, and from 3.9—5 feet at SL2. The samples all had arsenic concentrations that were above the PSRG, and the SL1 2.9—4 feet sample had an arsenic concentration (113 mg/kg) that exceeded the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard of 100 mg/kg. The pentachlorophenol concentrations in SL1 2.9—4 feet and SL2 3.9 —5 feet exceeded the PSRG, but did not exceed the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard. No other constituents were detected at concentrations that exceeded their respective PSRGs. v Autumn Romanski November 29, 2022 Page 2 CONCLUSIONS It is important to note that the facility has entered into a Brownfields Agreement with NCDEQ. This Brownfields Agreement developed risk-based soil quality criteria, and required extensive soil sampling at the facility as well as routine ongoing soil sampling into the future. The presence of historical releases of wood preserving constituents to the ground at the facility has been documented and addressed via the Brownfields Agreement. Given the facility's long history of treating wood and handling treated wood, it would therefore not be unexpected to detect wood preserving constituents in the soil surrounding the wood treating process area, and virtually impossible to identify the specific source of and timing of the release of those constituents to the soil. Although concentrations of arsenic, chromium, and pentachlorophenol exceeded PSRGs in samples collected immediately adjacent to the east and west sides of the Transfer Deck concrete slab, the magnitudes of these concentrations are not suggestive of a release of a wood preservative product— in such a case, the constituent concentrations would be expected to be at least several orders of magnitude higher. As noted above, it is not possible to determine whether these concentrations are the result of precipitation runoff from the Transfer Deck slab given the Transfer Deck slab conditions noted in the NCDEQ inspection, the result of long-term wood preserving operations and the management of treated wood products in and around the operations area (as has been addressed via the Brownfields Agreement), or both. Further, the concentrations in the discrete samples are predominantly below the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standards. Where arsenic concentrations exceed the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard, the exceedances are not notable. Finally, the Brownfields Agreement protocol grid-based sampling results do not exceed the Brownfields Agreement standards on either the east or west side of the Transfer Deck slab. Similarly, the magnitudes of the arsenic and pentachlorophenol concentrations in the soil samples collected in the Inactive Steam Line/Filter Press area are not suggestive of a release of wood preservative product. Further, the results indicate that concentrations of arsenic and pentachlorophenol decrease with depth. The presence of the roof and concrete slab mitigate the potential for lateral or vertical migration of these constituents. In consideration of the above, we believe that the areas of interest have been fully characterized, and that the results do not represent a potential adverse risk to human health or the environment, and that the results demonstrate that no further soil remediation activities beyond those that have been previously conducted under the Brownfields Agreement are warranted.

Timber is bought from off-site,de-barked,then loaded into pressure chambers for chemical treatment.After treatment, the trams are rolled onto a transfer deck,which directs the trams into one of multiple drip bays for initial drying and capture of liquid chemical run-off.At the time of the inspection,treatment chemicals included chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and pentachlorophenol (penta). The drip bays consist of metal pans incorporated into rails, onto which trams laden with newly treated wood are rolled and allowed to drip. The drip pan/rail assemblies are affixed to an uncoated concrete floor. These pans are designed to direct drippage into one of two metal troughs located along the front edge of the concrete floor,which lead to a sump and treatment system where the liquid is processed for reuse. In addition to wood treatment,the facility accepts wastewater containing pentachlorophenol from similar Koppers,Inc. facilities in Alabama and Georgia. This wastewater is processed though the on-site non-discharge treatment system regulated by the NCDEQ Division of Water Resources.Additionally,there is a Brownfields agreement in place which addresses specific areas on the site grounds. On February 25, 2021, Wes Hare and Heather Goldman with the Hazardous Waste Section (HWS) visited Koppers Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. at 1901 Wood Treatment Road in Leland, NC to conduct a Large Quantity Generator Comprehensive Evaluation Inspection. Following the inspection an Immediate Action Notice of Violation (IA-NOV) Docket # 2022-037 was issued on February 21, 2022 that required the facility to perform a comprehensive assessment of any areas impacted by releases to uncoated concrete in the copper chromated arsenic and pentachlorophenol Drip Pad areas (AOC 1, AOC 2, and AOC 3); the uncoated concrete secondary containment areas for the copper chromated arsenic and pentachlorophenol hazardous waste tanks (AOC 3 and AOC 4); as well as spills of listed hazardous waste to the uncoated concrete in (AOC 5). This assessment was required to determine the extent of hazardous waste releases. A hazardous waste determination and appropriate disposal was required for any contaminated media or contaminated debris excavated or removed during the assessment by using representative analytical sampling or generator knowledge. Prior to initiating the corrective actions or sampling activities,a site meeting was conducted on June 20. 2022 at Koppers Carolina Pole, Inc. with facility personnel, Mike Rouse, Plant Manager, Sarah House, Safety, Health, & Environmental Manager, and Michelle Reams, Safety and Health Environmental Coordinator, and DWM staff, Autumn Romanski, Eastern Environmental Chemist. Wes Hare, Environmental Specialist II/Inspector, Heather Goldman, Eastern Unit Compliance Branch Supervisor,Kim Caulk,Compliance Branch Hydrogeologist, and Samuel Watson,Brownfields Project Manager. On September 9, 2022,Mr. Dave Kerschner, CPG,with KU Resources on behalf of Koppers Carolina Pole Leland, Inc, submitted an initial draft of the first phase of an In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan, and a second phase (as/if needed)would require submittal of an ISSP plan to address underlying soil and or background sampling(as/if needed). Comments and recommendations by the Eastern Environmental Chemist NCDEQ-HWS were provided by email on September 16, 2022, as part of the plan review, and the plan dated September 2022 2 was approved on September 16, 2022, prior to commencing with the In-situ Soil Characterization. 12) Remedial Action Oversight of In-situ Soil Characterization/Waste Determination Sampling Event: On October 5, 2022, a remediation oversight visit at Koppers Carolina Pole Leland, Inc., located in Leland, NC (Brunswick County) was conducted of the phase 1, In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Event. The purpose of the visit was to observe the in-situ soil sampling of the soil underlying the Wastewater Treatment System Filter Press containment pad where cracks and staining had been observed during prior Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted and to investigate the steam line conduit located within the containment area and observed at a subsequent site visit to confirm impacted areas of possible releases through cracks, and or under the pad near the filter press (AOC-5). Sampling of two (2) areas near the steam line conduit by the filter press and cracked cement pad per Figure 2.1 and 6.1 of the approved In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan was conducted. The facility hired Mike Tynan of IET, Inc. to conduct the drilling of sample locations using a Geoprobe to facilitate representative collection of multiple unmixed soil samples per core from the surface to below 6 inches. The facility also hired Ron Yarborough, geologist with ERM to complete the sampling. It was noted that use of the Geoprobe was a change from the original sampling plan to accommodate sampling at depth. Originally, auger sampling had been proposed,which in sandy soils below 6 inches of depth proves difficult, so the Geoprobe use was approved. Also, noted was the two borings that were drilled for soil sample collection were as close to the inactive steam line/filter press as possible given Geoprobe clearance of overhead power lines. The soil sample locations were noted by phone GPS. See Sampling event photos section of this report. Depths of soil samples collected for analysis were noted and varied dependent upon depth of fill/gravel layer on top of the soil layer. Sampling of both sides of the transfer deck incorporated(6) sample locations per figure 6.1 in the approved In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan. Each side of the transfer deck area was gridded into 3 sections,with soil sample location noted by phone GPS, and the Geoprobe was used to collect multiple unmixed soil samples per core from the surface to below 6 inches. It was noted that the length of the transfer deck provided in the initial sampling plan correspondence of 150 feet was inaccurate based on field measurement,so the sample locations were adjusted based on actual length of the deck encountered in the field and measured the day of the sampling event. The original intent of sampling three equal distant areas of each side of the transfer deck closest to the deck was accomplished,however,one side of the deck contained underground and overhead power lines,and one sample location was moved to avoid any issues with the Geoprobe and minimize risk to the power source and lines. Also, there was a slight shift in sample location placement to avoid Geoprobe drill encounter with the transfer deck anchoring cables. Soil samples were collected in clean clear glass containers and amber glass containers provided by the facility and one water sample container preserved with nitric acid (for metals water analysis)provided by the laboratory was used to complete one equipment blank near the filter press area. Soil cuttings and PPE waste were collected in a 55-gallon container labeled hazardous waste pending analysis. No Background soil samples were collected during this sampling event. Sampling protocols outlined in the first phase of an In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan, except otherwise noted in this Sampling Event Report were observed followed and were 3 in general accordance with the Guidelines and/or EPA Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual. Michelle Reams completed field notes and photos of the sampling event. Ron Yarbrough and Sarah House completed the Chain of Custody and samples were shipped to Gel Laboratories for analysis. 13) Sampling Event Photo's: Photo of the AOC- Cement containment ad and steam line conduit at Filter Press _ Photo of Sampling Location May—sample locations approximated from GAIA GPS and Goo-le Earth 7 jl 1 crr?r n /* (� II au y I� S11 4 Photo of IET Inc.

Data Summary: All sample data provided in this report met the acceptance criteria specified in the analytical methods and procedures for initial calibration,continuing calibration,instrument controls and process controls where applicable,with the following exceptions. Calibration Information Continuing Calibration Verification(CCV)Requirements The calibration verification standards(CCV)did not meet acceptance criteria.One or more target analytes failed acceptance criteria with a positive bias on one or both analytical columns in the standards bracketing samples and associated QC.The positive bias for the analytical data is a result of instrument response increasing after the initial calibration.As there were no target analytes detected in the associated samples,the data were reported.All analytes were within the established retention time windows for this method. Quality Control(QQ Information Surrogate Recoveries Sample(See Below)did not meet surrogate recovery acceptance criteria.The sample was analyzed at a dilution. As a result,the surrogate was diluted out of the acceptance criteria and the data were reported.

Data Summary All sample data provided in this report met the acceptance criteria specified in the analytical methods and procedures for initial calibration,continuing calibration,instrument controls and process controls where applicable,with the following exceptions. Quality Control(QQ Information Matrix Spike(MS/MSD)Recovery Statement The percent recoveries(%R)obtained from the MS/MSD analyses are evaluated when the sample concentration is less than four times(4X)the spike concentration added. The MS/MSD(See Below)did not meet the recommended quality control acceptance criteria for percent recoveries for the following applicable analyte.The post spike recovery was within the required control limits.This verifies the absence of a matrix interference in the post-spike digested sample. The recovery may be attributed to possible sample matrix interference and/or non-homogeneity. Sample Analyte Value 1205210134(TD-1MS) Arsenic 38.1* (75%-125%) Page 54 of 58 SDG: 595762 MS/MSD Relative Percent Difference(RPD)Statement The RPD values between qualifying analyte results in the MS and MSD were not within the acceptance limits. Sample non-homogeneity and/or possible matrix interferences may be suspected. Sample Analyte Value 1205210134MS and 1205210135MSD(TD-1) Chromium RPD 23.6* (0%-20%) Technical Information Preparation/Analytical Method Verification Method SW-846 3050B is not a total digestion technique for most samples.It is a very strong acid digestion that will dissolve almost all elements that could become environmentally available.By design,elements bound in silicate structures are not normally dissolved by this procedure as they are not usually mobile in the environment. Sample Dilutions Dilutions may be required for many reasons,including to minimize matrix interferences or to bring over range target analyte concentrations into the linear calibration range. Sample was diluted in order to bring raw values within the linear range of the instrument for calcium,and for the analytes interfered with,in order to ensure that the inter-element correction factors were valid. 595762005(TD-5). 595762 Analyte 005 Chromium 5X Silver 5X Product: Mercury Analysis Using the Perkin Elmer Automated Mercury Analyzer Analvtical Method: SW846 7470A Analvtical Procedure: GL-MA-E-010 REV#38 Analvtical Batch: 2328370 Preparation Method: SW846 7470A Prep Preparation Procedure: GL-MA-E-010 REV#38 Preparation Batch:2328363 The following samples were analyzed using the above methods and analytical procedure(s).

Data Summary: All sample data provided in this report met the acceptance criteria specified in the analytical methods and procedures for initial calibration,continuing calibration,instrument controls and process controls where applicable,with the following exceptions. Calibration Information Continuing Calibration Verification(CCV)Requirements The calibration verification standards(CCV)did not meet acceptance criteria.One or more target analytes failed acceptance criteria with a positive bias on one or both analytical columns in the standards bracketing samples and associated QC.The positive bias for the analytical data is a result of instrument response increasing after the initial calibration.As there were no target analytes detected in the associated samples,the data were reported.All analytes were within the established retention time windows for this method. Quality Control(QQ Information Spike Recovery Statement The MS and/or MSD(See Below)did not meet spike recovery acceptance limits. Since there were no target analytes detected in the parent sample above the reporting limits,the biased high recoveries had no adverse impact on the reported data.

Quality Control(QQ Information Matrix Spike(MS/MSD)Recovery Statement The percent recoveries(%R)obtained from the MS/MSD analyses are evaluated when the sample concentration Page 16 of 17 SDG: 596016 is less than four times(4X)the spike concentration added. The MS/MSD(See Below)did not meet the recommended quality control acceptance criteria for percent recoveries for the following applicable analytes. The post spike recoveries were within the required control limits. This verifies the absence of a matrix interference in the post-spike digested sample.The recoveries may be attributed to possible sample matrix interference and/or non-homogeneity.

Page 17 of 17 SDG: 596016 Young, Brianna A From: Hanks,Joshua M Sent: Monday,January 29, 2024 5:29 PM To: Young, Brianna A Cc: Watson, Samuel; Peacock, David; Burch, Brent; Concepcion, Richard C Subject: RE: Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. in Brunswick County Hi Brianna, I'm the Compliance Branch hydrogeologist for the HWS and just wanted to follow up with you regarding your information request for the Carolina Pole site in Leland, NC. I understand that the BFS has provided some feedback but I wanted to follow up with some of my notes on the site and a summary of recent activities.You are correct that there are 2 areas capped and dioxins are present on site. For a detailed report on the history of the site,the signed BFA for the 2 site has documented the history of the site fairly well which is linked here: P°F 07003 General Wood recorded NBP 20051015.pdf Historical contaminants at the site include arsenic, organics including PAHs, chromium, copper, pentachlorophenol, and dioxins.The HWS oversaw the post-closure work done at the facility starting in 1992 which included excavating and backfilling of the 4 HW Management Units named junk pile, old impoundment, burn pile, and drying kiln ditch.The drying kiln ditch was capped as vehicular traffic was expected to continue in this area and groundwater was monitored around these units as part of the post-closure care requirements.The responsible party for this work declared bankruptcy in 2000. In 2006 the property was purchased by Leland LLC and received a BFA. While pursuing a BFA, the developer installed a permanent cap over an area on the property called the Pole Storage Hot Spot where free phase hydrocarbons were identified.The signed BFA requires the property owner to maintain the existing caps and to continue to monitor groundwater conditions annually for VOCs,SVOCs, and metals and monitor soil every 5 years for dioxins, arsenic, and pentachlorophenol. The recent work conducted at the site has been in response to a HWS issued IA-NOV for releases of pentachlorophenol and copper chromated arsenic to uncoated concrete in multiple areas of their facility. The HWS required a soil assessment around the transfer deck concrete slab and the sub-slab area adjacent to the inactive steam line/filter press which found exceedances for arsenic and pentachlorophenol in all samples collected and hexavalent chromium in some rn of the samples (Ell NCD093137636 Carolina Pole COR 20221129 Romanski.pdf).The HWS has approved a workplan to characterize groundwater in these areas but have not received a start date due to several delays.They are currently working on some facility upgrades which are operated under a BFS approved Environmental Management Plan. In addition to construction activities, they recently had a release of copper chromated arsenate product in December 2022 rn which was addressed under IHSB (impacted soil excavated and removed: P°F SRR Emergency Response Response Report by Terracon -Carolina Pole Leland.pdf) and a fire in the kiln building(no releases associated with the fire) around April 2023. Hope this helps but please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the recent HWS work. Samuel/David, please feel free to correct any details surrounding the BFA I did not get correct or may have left out. Thanks everyone! Joshua M.

The Brownfields Redevelopment Section (BRS) does not remediate sites, but mitigates the risks in order to make it safe to use. The capping of the dioxins and any remedial work that was done at the site was done under the supervision and direction of the Hazardous Waste Section(HWS) of DWM, and thus mitigated the risks at the site to acceptable levels. Autumn Romanski, with HWS, should be able to answer some of your questions more completely, if needed. I have copied her on this response. The bottom line, however,from a Brownfields standpoint is that anything currently present at the site is either being contained at levels that do not present a risk(historical releases), or is currently being addressed by the HWS(resent issues, including a fire at the site). If your required monitoring reporting has not shown any exceedances of any of your requirements/restrictions/standards, or presented any other red flags for you,then containment would appear to successful at the site.And as such would not be an issue with the BRS.

Our permit file history states that dioxins were discovered at the site and that two areas would be capped. Can you provide an update on whether this site is still considered a brownfield, and what, if any, clean-up operations occurred onsite? Is DWM still concerned about the presence of dioxins (or any other pollutants) onsite?

(NCS000222) I am not an expert on dioxins and the special study portion of the permit. I did discuss with them the request for removal of copper and substituting Chromium III. 1 told them that typically if Chromium is included, we want to see total, IV, and III. 1 reassured them that the copper hurdle is not insurmountable and we can work through the tier system as long as they communicate with me.

Reviewed the SPPP. The SPPP included all required elements updated and documented in a timely manner. Reviewed the monitoring data. The results did not warrant any current tier response. The facility has changed methods from oil based application to water based application. The facility keeps less inventory on site than previously. The treated poles are kept onsite no more than a week before shipped out. The facility was very clean and organized. Oil products were maintained under cover and within secondary containment. No odd hydraulic fluid buckets were laying around. No odd pollution sources were found during inspection. The site appeared to be intentionally maintained. Application requests removal of the dioxin special study. I did not have knowledge of dioxins or an answer for the request. Application requests removal of copper and substitute Chromium III.We discussed the small benchmark value for the copper and the typical tier process in relation to NCG190000 (Marinas). Discussed possible ramifications of Chromium and sampling for total, III, and IV found in other permits. I suggested that it may be best left alone, especially considering the pattern of diminishing presence in the samples. I said that if they ever reach Tier ll, they should contact me to evaluate. Discussed possiblity of going to quarterly sampling.

As of April 2022 pentachlorophenol usage was removed from the process so the facility only treats with CCA. At specific customer requests,the site will also add a water soluble oil treatment to keep the poles soft for climbing. As part of the process,the site brings in unpeeled material and peels them on site then dries the untreated poles utilizing kilns and a wood-fired boiler. • Confirmation on the number of outfalls and associated coordinates; o Our facility only has one (1) outfall located at Latitude:34.245560& Longitude:-78.071390 • Description of industrial activity and chemicals in each drainage area; o Potential chemicals would be the CCA chemical,wood chips, bark,diesel and oil from vehicle operation. • SIC (NAICS) code; o SIC#-2491 o NAICS#- Primary—3213.14, Secondary—32111 • An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data that has been collected since the effective date of the current permit; o Please see attached copy of the historical data. • Verification that the information in the renewal application is still complete and correct; and o There are changes that are needed. However, per your email this morning the forms are located on a server that is down and unattainable at this time. • An explanation of any operational changes since the renewal application was submitted. o As of April 2022, our facility only treats with a water borne preservative know as chromated copper arsenate (CCA). As soon as the server is back up I can get the forms completed to update the information for the renewal application. If you have any further questions please let me know.Thanks.

Brianna— Please find the responses to the additional information you requested in regards to our application for the renewal of our stormwater permit dated February 26, 2021. • Description of industrial activity occurring onsite; o The facility treats utility poles utilizing a water borne preservative known as chromated copper arsenate (CCA)or an oil borne preservative known as pentachlorophenol (penta). As of April 2022 pentachlorophenol usage was removed from the process so the facility only treats with CCA. At specific customer requests,the site will also add a water soluble oil treatment to keep the poles soft for climbing. As part of the process,the site brings in unpeeled material and peels them on site then dries the untreated poles utilizing kilns and a wood-fired boiler. • Confirmation on the number of outfalls and associated coordinates; o Our facility only has one (1)outfall located at Latitude: 34.245560 & Longitude:-78.071390 • Description of industrial activity and chemicals in each drainage area; o Potential chemicals would be the CCA chemical,wood chips, bark, diesel and oil from vehicle operation. • SIC (NAICS) code; o SIC#-2491 o NAICS#- Primary—321114,Secondary—32111 • An electronic spreadsheet summarizing all of the monitoring data that has been collected since the effective date of the current permit; o Please see attached copy of the historical data. • Verification that the information in the renewal application is still complete and correct; and o There are changes that are needed. However, per your email this morning the forms are located on a server that is down and unattainable at this time. • An explanation of any operational changes since the renewal application was submitted. o As of April 2022, our facility only treats with a water borne preservative know as chromated copper arsenate (CCA). As soon as the server is back up I can get the forms completed to update the information for the renewal application. If you have any further questions please let me know.Thanks.

A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map. The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally-listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one-mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Di rectory_/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented near the project area. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler(a)ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

(Carolina Pole) operates a wood treatment facility at 1901 Wood Treatment Road NE in Leland, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The facility operates under a stormwater NPDES Permit#NCS 000222. That permit expires on August 31, 2021, and this submittal constitutes a timely submittal for renewal of this permit. The Carolina Pole facility treats utility poles utilizing either a water borne preservative known as chromated copper arsenate (CCA) or an oil borne preservative known as pentachlorophenol (penta). The manufacturer of penta has announced that they will cease production no later than December 31, 2021, so Carolina Pole will have to change its present production to a different preservative system soon after this permit is renewed. Carolina Pole will seek some changes to its required monitoring parameters in the renewal permit as a result of the cessation of the use of penta. 2.0 PERMIT RENEWAL APPLICATION NARRATIVE AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION The renewal process in North Carolina consists of the completion of the required forms and the provision of certain supplemental information found on a separate checklist. The Renewal Application Form, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Development and Certification, and the Supplemental Information Required for Renewal of Individual NPDES Stormwater Permit Checklist (Checklist) are found in Exhibit 1 of this application. Prepared by: H.M.Rollins Company,Inc. Gulfport,MS Page 1 CAROLINA POLE LELAND,INC. Stormwater NPDES Permit Renewal-NCS 000222 February 26,2021 This renewal application has been discussed with Ms. Aana Gamble of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), and the information in this application reflects her guidance. The balance of this narrative will discuss some specific requirements in the present permit, some changes being requested by Carolina Pole, and the Checklist information requested with all stormwater renewal applications. 2.1 Special Provisions in the Existing Permit The existing permit contains two special provisions. One provision required monitoring for the gasoline constituents, benzene, toluene, and total xylene, in the monitoring conducted in 2020. That sampling was conducted and the results were ND for all constituents at both sampling events. The results are included in the s Table in Exhibit 2, which also contains the monitoring results required by Item 2 of the Checklist. The second special provision was the requirement to conduct a feasibility study for pollution reduction methods for chlorinated dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (dioxins). This study was previously provided to the NCDEQ, but a copy is found in Exhibit 3 of this renewal application at the request of Ms. Gamble. This study confirmed, as expected, that other anthropogenic sources of dioxins existed and that significant levels of dioxins were contained in stormwater that entered the Carolina Pole stormwater conveyance system from off-site stormwater conveyance systems. Virtually all dioxins found in stormwater are in particulate form due to the very low water solubilities of dioxins, as confirmed by the data that shows some of the congeners present at orders of magnitude higher than their aqueous solubilities. Therefore, best management practices that reduce particulate loading in stormwater are the best practices for reducing the dioxin Prepared by: H.M.Rollins Company,Inc. Gulfport,MS Page 2 CAROLINA POLE LELAND, INC. Stormwater NPDES Permit Renewal-NCS 000222 February 26 2021 f concentration in stormwater. The Carolina Pole SWPPP already focuses on methods to reduce suspended solids in its discharge. Carolina Pole will discuss its request to remove dioxins from the list of required monitoring parameters in a later section of this renewal application. 2.2 Supplemental Information Items An overhead photograph of the site showing the information requested in Item 1 of the Checklist is found in Exhibit 4. A summary of the analytical monitoring results requested in Item 2 of the Checklist is found in Exhibit 2. A summary of the Visual Monitoring results requested by Item 3 of the Checklist is found in Exhibit 5. A summary of Best Management Practices requested by Item 4 of the Checklist is found in Exhibit 6. Item 5 of the Checklist requests a narrative description of any significant changes that have taken place at the facility. There have been no significant changes of processes, work practices, material handling practices, material storage practices, or raw materials used by the facility during the previous permit cycle. However, there will be some possible changes during the next permit cycle due to the removal of pentachlorophenol from the marketplace. Carolina Pole will either change to another oil borne preservative, such as copper naphthenate or dichloro- octyl-isothiazolin-one (DCOI), or will simply increase its production with CCA to Prepared by: H.M.Rollins Company,Inc. Gulfport,MS Page 3 CAROLINA POLE LELAND,INC. Stonnwater NPDES Permit Renewal-NCS 000222 February 26,2021 meet the market demand. Neither of these options would represent a significant change in facility operations. Item 6 of the Checklist concerns certification of the development and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Carolina Pole has a detailed and effective SWPPP and the signed certification form is found in Exhibit 1. 2.3 Requested Changes in the NPDES Stormwater Permit Conditions As mentioned earlier in this application narrative, Carolina Pole is requesting the removal of dioxins as a required monitoring parameter. This request and the supporting reasons have been discussed with NCDEQ representative Aana Gamble. This request is supported by the following points. 1. Very few Stormwater NPDES Permits have monitoring requirements for dioxins because the very low aqueous solubility of the dioxin congeners is such that most of the dioxins found in stormwater are in the particulate form, so the monitoring would not actually reflect a water concentration. This can be confirmed by looking at the analytical results in the feasibility study in Exhibit 3 which in many cases report dioxin levels orders of magnitude higher than the aqueous solubility limits found in Exhibit 7. 2. North Carolina has no published surface water quality standards for dioxins. Prepared by: H.M.Rollins Company,Inc. Gulfport,MS Page 4 CAROLINA POLE LELAND,INC. Stormwater NPDES Permit Renewal-NCS 000222 February 26,2021 3. All stormwater runoff from both urban and rural areas contains dioxins due to atmospheric deposition. 4. Urban runoff contains elevated levels of dioxins due to anthropogenic sources such as automobile exhaust, boilers, manufacturing heat sources, and residential combustion sources. The dioxin study in Exhibit 3 shows that significant levels of dioxins are found in stormwater from off-site sources that enters the Carolina Pole stormwater conveyance system on the west side of the facility. 5. The microcontaminant dioxins associated with pentachlorophenol t are not the human health and environmental risk drivers from the use of the product. The primary dioxins associated with penta are the highly chlorinated congeners which have low toxicity. When EPA published the F032 hazardous waste listing, it specifically considered the microcontaminants in penta and determined that penta itself was the primary risk driver and that regulatory actions that protected human health and the environment from the potential effects of penta would provide protection from the microcontaminants with a higher margin of safety. Based on this, monitoring for pentachlorophenol should be adequate to assess the potential environmental impact from the use of penta, including its microcontaminants. t� Prepared by: H.M.Rollins Company,Inc. Gulfport,MS Page 5 CAROLINA POLE LELAND,INC. Stormwater NPDES Permit Renewal-NCS 000222 February 26,2021 6. Carolina Pole must transition to another preservative system in 2021 or 2022, and the need to monitor for penta should no longer be required. Carolina Pole requests that the requirement to monitor for dioxins be removed from the permit when it is renewed and that the requirement to monitor for pentachlorophenol only be continued for calendar year 2022. Carolina Pole would like to discuss one other permit condition that is problematic for the facility and that is the screening value for copper of 0.010 mg/l, or 10 parts per billion. Carolina Pole suspects that any facility having a permit that contains that copper benchmark has frequent reported exceedances of the benchmark. These exceedances can lead to additional monitoring requirements and additional response actions. For the reasons discussed below, Carolina Pole would request the substitution of chromium III as a routine monitoring parameter in place of copper. Chromium contained in stormwater that contacts CCA-treated wood is dominantly in the tri-valent state. 1. Of the three constituents of CCA, copper is by far the least toxic to vertebrate species. In CCA formulations, copper represents only approximately 26% of the total metal mass while chromium and arsenic represent the balance. 2. Stormwater from off-site flows that enter the Carolina Pole stormwater conveyance system already contain copper at levels exceeding the benchmark of 10 ppb as indicated by sampling Prepared by: H.M.Rollins Company,Inc. Gulfport,MS Page 6 �AROLINA POLE LELAND,INC. Stormwater NPDES Permit Renewal-NCS 000222 February 26,2021 conducted in conjunction with the dioxin feasibility study found in Exhibit 3. 3. Copper is a ubiquitous metal. It can be present in drinking water in houses with copper piping at levels exceeding 1,000 ppb. Information available on the internet indicates that copper levels in runoff from parking lots and streets can be as high as 280 ppb, in urban creeks as high as 50 ppb, and from retention ponds, over 40 ppb. 4. The National Stormwater Quality Database, available at www.bmpdatabase.org/nsq-d.html contains data on copper levels in stormwater runoff. This database contains data from 5,179 samples for copper from locations across the U.S., and reports an average value of 33.16 ppb and a maximum value of 7,270 ppb. For the 1,002 samples for which both total recoverable copper and soluble copper were analyzed, the total recoverable to soluble ratio for copper was 3.329. The copper benchmark of 10 ppb is based on toxicity for soluble copper not total recoverable copper, yet site monitoring is required for total recoverable copper. 5. Monitoring for arsenic and chromium III provides more useful and meaningful data for evaluation of the effectiveness of the facility's SWPPP than monitoring for copper which is found at levels exceeding the 10 ppb screening value in stormwater flow from off- site drainage where it enters the Carolina Pole stormwater conveyance system.

Stormwater NPDES Permit Renewal-NCS 000222 February 26,2021 3.0 SUMMARY This application for renewal of the Carolina Pole Stormwater NPDES Permit, NCS 000222, reflects the fact that there have been no significant changes in facility operations. However, the application does seek to make some changes in monitoring parameters in order to eliminate data production that is of limited value in terms of protection of surface water quality and assessment of the effectiveness of the facility S WPPP. a i Prepared by: H.M.Rollins Company,Inc.

Four hazardous waste management units ("HWMUs")were closed in 1992; they appear as "Junk Pile,""Old Impoundment,""Burn Pile" and"Drying Kiln Ditch"on the plat component of the Notice referenced below in paragraph 28. The first three HWMUs were excavated to the water table, filled with clean soil, compacted such that the soil met a hydraulic conductivity range of 10-5 to 10"6 centimeters per second, vegetated with grass and surrounded with barbed wire fencing. "Drying Kiln Ditch"was also excavated to the groundwater table and backfilled with clean soil to the same hydraulic conductivity range; it was then covered with a cap consisting of a geotextile, 12 inches of#57 stone and 10 inches of concrete, and modified to allow vehicular traffic. The HWMUs are currently managed under a post-closure care plan approved by DENR's Hazardous Waste Section("HWS'). C. Groundwater monitoring is currently being conducted on the Property under a post-closure care plan approved in 1992 by the HWS. Seven solid waste management units ("SWMUs")were identified in a"RCRA Facility Assessment" ("RFA"), i.e., an assessment pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act("RCRA"), 42 U.S.C. §6901, et seq. However,the HWS has agreed that the treated pole storage areas,which were not identified as a SWMU in the RFA, are the primary areas of concern on the Property. Environmental assessment of the treated pole storage area has indicated the need for the cap required by paragraph 12 below. Gen.Wood BFA 4 Inst # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1404 d. Free-phase petroleum hydrocarbons have been identified in groundwater in the immediate vicinity of the Property's"pole mill." This contamination has been assigned Incident# 16624 by DENR's Aquifer Protection Section. An assessment indicated that the area of free-phase and dissolved petroleum product is limited. The most likely source is a hydraulic belt system formerly located below grade. The belt system has been moved above grade where it can be visually inspected. General Wood is currently removing free product,which is collected and transported off-site for disposal, with an automatic skimmer in the well denominated"PM- IA" on the plat component of the Notice referenced below in paragraph 28. e. Due to the financial status of the Property's current owner, the HWS has not issued a RCRA post-closure permit. f. Prior to 1979, the Property was a wooded lot. The Burke-Parsons-Bowlby Corporation purchased the Property in 1978 and developed it into a wood treatment facility in 1979, since which time wood treatment has continued there. General Wood purchased the Property in 1984. g. The wood treatment facility consists of a drying kiln, steam kiln, drip pad, boiler building, office building and treatment building that includes pressure treatment cylinders, a drip pad and above-ground storage tanks. The operational portions of the site are not vegetated, while the borders of the property are wooded, covered with grass or otherwise vegetated. h. Currently pentachlorophenol ("PCP") and chromated copper arsenate("CCA") are the chemicals used in the treatment process that wooden utility poles, foundation piles and piers, inter alia, undergo. Until approximately 1994, Creosote was used at the Property for treatment of poles, railroad ties and other products. Gen.Wood BFA 5 Inst # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1405 7.

No later than when Prospective Developer submits to DENR a copy of the recorded Notice referenced in paragraph 28 below, Prospective Developer shall submit to the HWS Part A of the application for a RCRA permit, signed. Prospective Developer shall submit a copy of the transmittal letter it submits with the foregoing material to the DENR official identified in paragraph 42 below. b. Based on DENR's determinations regarding the existing and predicted extent of contamination originating at the Property, and on a schedule approved by DENR, Prospective Developer shall determine what area, in addition to the Property, should have appropriate Land Use Restrictions, as determined by DENR, imposed(hereinafter known as the "Off-Property LUR Area"). Prospective Developer shall thereafter: i. in time for timely filing pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 130A-310.35(b) of the Notice referenced in paragraph 28, acquire fee simple as to the Off-Property LUR Area; ii. take whatever actions DENR requires in connection with obtaining written consent to imposition of the subject Land Use Restrictions from all owners of the Off- Gen.Wood BFA 20 i Inst # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1420 Property LUR Area; Prospective Developer acknowledges that, in any event, this Agreement will have no force and effect if Prospective Developer does not timely file,pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 130A-310.35(b),the subject Land Use Restrictions for recordation as part of the Notice referenced in paragraph 28 below; or iii. through a combination of the actions described in the foregoing subparagraphs i. and ii., effect imposition of the subject Land Use Restrictions on the entire Off- Property LUR Area. C. After gaining the written permission of affected landowners or fee simple to the land in question, and in compliance with a schedule approved in writing by DENR, Prospective Developer shall install sentry wells at locations approved in advance in writing by DENR that are one year's travel time (based on groundwater velocity)hydraulically upgradient of the downgradient Land Use Restrictions boundary. d. During the first calendar quarter after Prospective Developer purchases the Property, and annually thereafter no sooner than seven(7) days prior to, nor later than seven(7) days after, the anniversary of the last sampling event, Prospective Developer shall sample for VOCs, SVOCs and metals regulated by RCRA, the perimeter monitoring wells denominated as C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, B-6 and B-10M on the plat component of the Notice referenced below in paragraph 28 and the sentry wells required by subparagraph 16.c. above. Prospective Developer shall effect analysis of said samples using the most current version of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method SW-846. If Prospective Developer satisfies DENR that particular sentry wells outside the Property are downgradient of particular perimeter monitoring wells, Prospective Developer may sample said well(s)in lieu of the monitoring Gen.Wood BFA 21 inst # 330867 Boob 2390Page: 3421 well(s) in question, assuming Prospective Developer ootams iegai access to the property containing said well(s). Prospective Developer shall transmit to DENR the analyses of the sampling required by this paragraph with its Land Use Restrictions Updates required by subparagraph 19.m. below. If Prospective Developer believes that the contaminant concentrations measured by the sampling required by this paragraph are decreasing, it may propose to DENR, at any time after the first five (5) sampling events, a statistical method for ascertaining that. If DENR approves the method and determines that the concentrations are decreasing, it may approve in writing sampling at intervals no less frequent than every three(3) years. Unless DENR requires otherwise as a condition of a change in use of the Property, Prospective Developer's obligations under this paragraph 16.d. shall terminate five years after the date of completion of facility closure(shut down) activities, as determined by the HWS, or five years after the effective date of this Agreement,whichever is later. e. Within three (3)months after Prospective Developer's receipt of any written determination by DENR that any well referenced in this paragraph 16 reflects contamination at or from the Property at levels above one or more standards in Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2L,Rule .0202, and above the levels of such contaminant(s) detected most recently prior to the effective date of this Agreement,Prospective Developer shall increase the frequency of that well's sampling to quarterly, and shall submit to DENR a plan involving response actions to reduce said contamination to levels below the subject standard(s). In the event, Prospective Developer shall provide all sampling results to DENR within seven(7) days of receiving them and shall correct any deficiencies DENR identifies in the plan on a timetable established by DENR. Prospective Developer shall implement the plan in the Gen.Wood BFA 22 Inst # 330867 Book 239OPage: 1422 form in which it is approved in writing by DENR. In the event DENR determines that Prospective Developer has not achieved compliance with the standards within twenty-four(24) months,DENR may require Prospective Developer to apply for and obtain a RCRA Part B permit. 17. a. Within thirty(30) days after the effective date of this Agreement,Prospective Developer shall notify DENR that it is ready to effect the abandonment of all groundwater monitoring wells, injection wells,recovery wells,piezometers and other man-made points of groundwater access at the Property in accordance with Subchapter 2C of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, other than wells associated with groundwater"Incident# 16624" referenced in paragraph 6.d. above (PM-lB,PM-2 and PM-3 and PM-lA), the perimeter monitoring wells (C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, B-5,B-6 and B-1 OM) and the water supply wells (WS-1, WS-2 and WS-3, the abandonment of which may be ordered pursuant to subparagraph 19.b.vii. below), all as denominated on the plat component of the Notice referenced below in paragraph 28, and any sentry wells Prospective Developer installs pursuant to paragraph 16.c. above. Unless DENR notifies Prospective Developer within ten(10) days of receiving such notification to refrain from such abandonment,Prospective Developer shall effect said abandonment and shall,within thirty(30) days after concluding such abandonment,provide DENR a report setting forth the procedures and results. b. Unless otherwise approved in writing by DENR, Prospective Developer shall, in accordance with Subchapter 2C of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, abandon all wells not abandoned pursuant to subparagraph 17.a. of this Agreement within thirty (30) days following Prospective Developer's completion of its obligations under subparagraph Gen.Wood BFA 23 16.d. above.

Prospective Developer shall be responsible for completion of the capital improvements referenced in paragraph 10.d. above within twenty-four(24) months after the effective date of this Agreement. Until the improvements are complete, every ninety days following the effective date of this Agreement Prospective Developer shall report in writing the improvements made since the last report,their cost and their date of installation. 19. By way of the Notice of Brownfields Property referenced below in paragraph 28, Prospective Developer shall impose the following land use restrictions under the Act,running with the land, to make the Property safe for the uses specified in this Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment. All references to DENR shall be understood to include any successor in function; use of"her"includes "his and"its." a. No use may be made of the Property other than for industrial wood treatment, in the area designated"PROCESS AND STORAGE AREA" on the plat component of the Notice referenced in paragraph 28 below,without the prior written approval of DENR. No use may occur of any part of the Property outside the"PROCESS AND STORAGE AREA" without the prior written approval of DENR. In deciding whether to approve proposed other uses of any part of the Property, DENR may consider the risks to public health and the environment presented by such proposed uses and may require additional information relating to such risks, including without limitation a worker-related risk assessment and environmental sampling results,to be provided. The"PROCESS AND STORAGE AREA" shall remain configured as it is as of the date of recordation of the Notice referenced in paragraph 28 below,unless DENR issues prior written approval to configure it otherwise. For purposes of this restriction, the Gen.Wood BFA 24 following definitions apply: bast # 330867 Book 2390Page s 142 i. "Industrial"refers to manufacturing and processing operations that may produce greater than average levels of noise, vibration, dust, smoke or emissions, and that may include outdoor storage. ii. "Wood treatment"refers to the pressure treating,by use of chemicals, of lumber,poles and other wood products for outdoor use. Creosote may not be employed for wood treatment or any other purpose at the Property without the express prior written approval of DENR. b.i. No naturally occurring water on or under the Property may be used for any purpose, and no activities that encounter, expose or remove naturally occurring water on or under the Property may occur, except that water from any of the Property's three(3)water supply wells, denominated"WS-1,""WS-2" and"WS-3"on the plat component of the Notice referenced in paragraph 28 below, or any well approved by DENR to replace an existing water supply well and depicted on an amended plat, may be used for process water, rinsing off equipment, flushing toilets, washing hands and any other use approved in advance in writing by DENR, under the following conditions: A. no less frequently than every three (3) years, unless the requirements or frequency of such sampling are modified in writing in advance by DENR,the water in the well has been sampled for volatile organic compounds ("VOCs"), semi-volatile organic compounds ("SVOCs") and metals regulated by RCRA(arsenic, barium, cadmium, Gen.Wood BFA 25 Inst # 330867 Book 2390age. 125 chromium, lead,mercury, selenium and silver),pursuant to the most current version of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method SW-846; B. analysis of said sampling,by a laboratory certified by the Laboratory Section of DENR's Division of Water Quality,has been submitted to DENR; C. that analysis reflects concentrations of benzene (a(VOC) below 0.106 milligrams per liter and concentrations of naphthalene (a SVOC)below 7.49 milligrams per liter; D. sampling results reflect benzene concentrations that remain below the safe use standard of 0.106 milligrams per liter and naphthalene concentrations that remain below the safe use standard of 7.49 milligrams per liter; if sampling of a well reflects concentrations of either contaminant that exceed those levels, water from that well may not be used for hand-washing or any other activity that involves bodily contact with the water unless and until concentrations of both contaminants are below the required levels; if sampling of a well reflects concentrations of any other VOC, SVOC or RCRA metal that exceed the applicable standard in Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subtitle 2L, Rule .0202 ("21,"), water from that well may not be used for hand-washing or any other activity that involves bodily contact with the water unless and until a safe use standard for such VOC, SVOC or RCRA metal has been proposed to, and approved in writing by, DENR and the concentration of such VOC, SVOC or RCRA metal is below the safe use standard; E. Signs in English and Spanish that state, "THIS WATER MAY NOT BE USED FOR DRINKING AND MAY ONLY BE USED FOR Gen.Wood BFA 26 8 Inst # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1426 with the use(s) approved by DENR stated in the blank, are prominently displayed in close proximity to points where water is available from any of the wells whose use is approved by DENR; the owner of any part of the Property containing any of the wells with no approved uses shall ensure that signs that state"DO NOT USE THIS WATER"are prominently displayed in close proximity to points where water is available from such well(s). F. If groundwater in a well exceeds a safe use standard established in or pursuant to subparagraph 19.b.i.C. of this Agreement(or, in the absence of a safe use standard, a 2L standard), and DENR determines that abandonment of the well is necessary to protect public health and the environment, DENR may require the owner of the part of the Property containing that well to abandon the well and document said abandonment to DENR. ii. Any replacement wells installed pursuant to this subparagraph 19.b. shall be sampled in accordance with subparagraph 19.b.i. above no more than one year prior to their being placed in use. C. Soil underlying buildings and impervious surfaces, including paved areas, at the Property, as identified on the plat component of the Notice referenced in paragraph 28 below, soil underlying the area denominated"PETROLEUM HOTSPOT"on the plat component of said Notice (unless DENR has issued written approval of the remediation of said area), and soil proposed to be exposed in connection with any construction on the Property,may not be exposed unless DENR has been provided a minimum of ten(10)business days advance written notice and has given prior written approval to a plan to protect public health and the environment Gen.Wood BFA 27 inst #1 330867 Book 2390Page: 1427 during the activities that would expose such soil. DENR may inspect, and require screening or sampling for contaminants in, the exposed soil. If such screening or sampling discloses contamination that DENR determines may pose an unacceptable level of risk to public health or the environment, as much soil as DENR requires shall be removed and disposed of in accordance with applicable law, and any other actions DENR requires for protection of public health and the environment in view of the permitted uses of the property shall be taken. If DENR determines that the exposed soil is contaminated at levels that would not pose an unacceptable risk to public health or the environment if capped,DENR may require the soil to be capped, with perpetual maintenance of the cap, to the satisfaction of DENR. d. None of the four areas designated"HWMU" on the plat component of the Notice referenced in paragraph 28 below may be disturbed without the prior written approval of DENR on such conditions as DENR deems appropriate. e. Soil, landscaping and contours at the Property may not be disturbed without the approval of DENR, except for mowing and pruning of above-ground vegetation, and, notwithstanding subparagraph 19.c. above,routine surface grading with flat-bladed equipment that does not significantly alter surface contours or involve excavation. f. No mining may be conducted on or under the Property, including,without limitation, extraction of coal, oil, gas or any other minerals or non-mineral substances. g. The Property may not be used as a park or for sports of any kind, including,but not limited to, golf, football, soccer and baseball, without the prior written approval of DENR. h. The Property may not be used for agriculture, grazing or silviculture. Gen.Wood BFA 28 Inst # 330867 Book 390Page: 1428 i. The Property may not be used as a playground, or for child care centers or schools. j. The Property may not be used for kennels,private animal pens or horse- riding. k. No basements may be constructed on the Property. 1. No party conducting environmental assessment or remediation at the Property at the direction of DENR, or pursuant to this Agreement or a permit or order issued by DENR, and no party installing capital improvements required by this Agreement,may be denied access to the Property for purposes of conducting such assessment or remediation, or installing such improvements. M. During January of each year after this Agreement becomes effective,the then current owner of any part of the Property shall submit a notarized Land Use Restrictions Update ("LURU")to DENR that includes a certification that the Notice of Brownfields Property containing these land use restrictions remains recorded at the Brunswick County Register of Deeds office and that the land use restrictions are being complied with, and that is accompanied by copies of the previous year's pages from the log book required by paragraph 13 of this Agreement. Depending on the year, and the portion of the Property,the LURU shall also include (the paragraphs referenced are in this Agreement): i. a perimeter monitoring/sentry well analytical report(subparagraph 16.d.); ii. analysis of water supply well sampling(subparagraph 19.b.ii.); iii. soil sampling results (paragraph 15); Gen.Wood BFA 29 Inst # 330867 Book 239OPagem 1429 iv. an update on work with DENR's Aquifer Protection Section (paragraph 11)until documentation of"No Further Action" status is received; and V. inspection and maintenance log/photographs for the previous calendar year(paragraph 13). 20. The desired result of the above-referenced remediation, engineering controls and land use restrictions is to make the Property suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment,while allowing the State of North Carolina, consistent with N.C.G.S. § 130A-310.37(a)(7), to maintain its commitments to the federal government in connection with DENR's hazardous waste program. 21. Except as otherwise provided herein, the guidelines, including parameters, principles and policies within which the desired results are to be accomplished are the Guidelines of the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch of DENR's Superfund Section, as embodied in their most current version, and those compliance with which is necessary to maintain the State of North Carolina's commitments to the federal government in connection with DENR's hazardous waste program. 22. The consequences of achieving or not achieving the desired results will be that the Property is or is not suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public health and the environment. VI. FINANCIAL MATTERS 23. Prospective Developer has paid the $2,000 fee to seek a brownfields agreement required by N.C.G.S. § 130A-310.39(a)(1). Given that the full cost to DENR and the North Carolina Department of Justice ("DOJ") of all activities related to this Agreement is provided Gen.Wood BFA 30 Inst # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1430 for, there is no need for Prospective Developer and DENR to establish,pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 130A-310.39(a)(2), a procedure by which said cost is determined. 24. This Agreement constitutes DENR's consent for Prospective Developer to enter into an agreement with General Wood whereby the trust General Wood established on April 20, 1993 with Branch Banking and Trust Company, for the benefit of the HWS (the"General Wood Trust"),would be terminated and all funds currently held in trust would be transferred to the trust or account to be established pursuant to paragraph 26 below. 25. Prospective Developer has submitted, and DENR has approved, a written estimate of the cost of each of the following, so that DENR can determine how much money Prospective Developer shall, for performance of same, convey to the trust or deposit in the account established pursuant to paragraph 26 below. a. one round of sampling of pentachlorophenol, arsenic and total TCDD in the same thirty grids the sampling of which was reported in the December 7, 2004 Environmental Report(revised, as noted in paragraph 5 above, on February 23, 2005), and analysis of said sampling. b. removal of all permanent structures and capital equipment(above-ground storage tanks, drying ovens,kilns, treatment cylinders, etc.) at the Property, excluding the office building, if desired, and concrete flooring,based on written approval DENR has issued of a plan that includes cost estimates for cleaning and sampling of said flooring; C. abandonment of all wells referenced in this Agreement that will remain after abandonment of the wells referenced in paragraph 17.a.; d. addition of soil conditioners, seed and fertilizer sufficient to establish a Gen.Wood BFA 31 Inst # 330867 Book 2390Pa e: 1431 stable vegetative cover over the area of the Property devoid of vegetation; e. capping of two 100-foot by 100-foot grids if necessary to keep the Property's contaminant average below worker safety-related risk levels in the event future operations cause contamination; f. inspection and maintenance in accordance with paragraph 13 above for five (5)years; g. groundwater monitoring in accordance with subparagraph 16.d. above for five (5) years. 26. By way of a written agreement approved by DENR in writing, Prospective Developer shall establish a trust for the benefit of DENR(the "Leland Land Trust"or the "Trust"),to be administered by an institution regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation("FDIC"). Within thirty(30) days after Prospective Developer's receipt of DENR's written approval of the cost estimates required by the preceding paragraph,with or without changes required by DENR, Prospective Developer shall, if the Leland Land Trust is established by that date, convey to the Leland Land Trust principal in the amount of the total approved cost estimates,plus fifty(50)percent to account for factors such as inflation and possible unanticipated future costs, less the amount of any funds transferred from the General Wood Trust. If the Leland Land Trust is not established within the subject thirty(30)-day period, Prospective Developer shall,by the thirtieth day, deposit the subject amount in an account(the "Account") at an institution regulated by the FDIC, and shall transfer all funds in said account to the Leland Land Trust within three(3) days after the trust's establishment. The following conditions shall apply to the Leland Land Trust and the Account. Gen.Wood BFA 32 inst # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1432 a. DENR may require the Trustee or Prospective Developer to disburse funds from the Account or Trust,respectively, as DENR deems necessary, if DENR determines Prospective Developer is not satisfactorily conducting the work for which the contingency account is being established. b. Neither the Account nor the Trust shall be considered part of the bankruptcy estate if Prospective Developer files for bankruptcy, nor may the funds in the Account or Trust be used for any purpose other than the work for which the Account and/or the Trust are/is being established. C. If funds remain in the Account or Trust after the work for which the Account and/or the Trust are/is being established has been conducted, said remaining funds shall be the property of Prospective Developer. If Prospective Developer no longer exists,those funds shall escheat to DENR. VII. ACCESS/NOTICE TO SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST 27. Commencing upon the date that it acquires title to the Property, Prospective Developer agrees to provide to DENR, its authorized officers, employees,representatives, and all other persons performing response actions under DENR oversight, an irrevocable right of access at all reasonable times to the Property and to any other property to which access is required for the implementation of response actions at the Property,to the extent access to such other property is controlled by the Prospective Developer, for the purposes of performing or overseeing response actions at the Property under applicable law.

C. A land use restriction set out in the Notice of Brownfields Property required under N.C.G.S. 130A-310.35 is violated while the Prospective Developer owns the Property, in which case the Prospective Developer shall be responsible for remediation of the Property to unrestricted use standards. d. The Prospective Developer knowingly or recklessly provided false information that formed a basis for this Agreement or knowingly or recklessly offers false Gen.Wood BFA 36 Inst # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1436 information to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement or fails to disclose relevant information about contamination at the Property. e. New information indicates the existence of previously unreported contaminants or an area of previously unreported contamination on or associated with the Property that has not been remediated to unrestricted use standards, unless this Agreement is amended to include any previously unreported contaminants and any additional areas of contamination. If this Agreement sets maximum concentrations for contaminants, and new information indicates the existence of previously unreported areas of these contaminants, further remediation shall be required only if the areas of previously unreported contaminants raise the risk of the contamination to public health or the environment to a level less protective of public health and the environment than that required by this Agreement. f. The level of risk to public health or the environment from contaminants is unacceptable at or in the vicinity of the Property due to changes in exposure conditions, including (i) a change in land use that increases the probability of exposure to contaminants at or in the vicinity of the Property or(ii) the failure of remediation to mitigate risks to the extent required to make the Property fully protective of public health and the environment as planned in this Agreement. g. The Department obtains new information about a contaminant associated with the Property or exposures at or around the Property that raises the risk to public health or the environment associated with the Property beyond an acceptable range and in a manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement. Gen.Wood BFA 37 Inst; # 330867 Book 2390Page: 1437 h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of Brownfields Property under N.C.G.S. 130A-310.35. 34. Except as may be provided herein, the State of North Carolina reserves its rights against Prospective Developer as to liabilities beyond the scope of the Act, including those regarding petroleum underground storage tanks pursuant to Part 2A, Article 21A of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes. Further, this Agreement does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain a permit, license or certification, including without limitation a stormwater permit from DENR's Water Quality Section in connection with the allowed uses of the Property, or to comply with any and all other applicable law, including the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act, N.C.G.S. § 113A-1, et seq., and nothing in this Agreement releases Prospective Developer, or any successor, transferee or assignee of Prospective Developer, from regulation by the HWS under RCRA for generation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste on the Property; however,neither Prospective Developer nor any successor,transferee or assignee of Prospective Developer shall be required to apply for or obtain a RCRA Part B permit unless (i)this Agreement is no longer in effect, (ii)Prospective Developer fails to implement to DENR's satisfaction any plan required by subparagraph 16.e. of this Agreement, or(iii) Prospective Developer engages in any new activities that would require a RCRA Part B permit.

XIH. DISCLAIMER 39. This Agreement in no way constitutes a finding by DENR as to the risks to public health and the environment which may be posed by regulated substances at the Property, a representation by DENR that the Property is fit for any particular purpose, nor, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a waiver of Prospective Developer's duty to seek applicable permits or of the provisions of N.C.G.S. § 130A-310.37. XIV. DOCUMENT RETENTION 40.

Work was generally performed pursuant to the September 2022 Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) that was approved by NCDEQ on September 16, 2022, and consisted of the collection and analysis of discrete soil samples collected from multiple locations. Deviations from the SAP protocols were either recommended to NCDEQ representatives or requested by NCDEQ representatives during the implementation of field activities. Two areas of the facility were subject to the SAP investigation activities: • The areas immediately adjacent to the east and west sides of the Transfer Deck concrete slab, for the purpose of evaluating soil quality conditions that may be the result of precipitation runoff from that concrete slab; and • The sub-slab area adjacent to an inactive steam line/filter press, for the purpose of evaluating the potential that constituents associated with observed staining on the concrete had migrated to the subsurface via cracks and gaps in the concrete slab. In addition to the SAP-directed activities, grid-based composite soil samples were collected and analyzed from the east and west sides of the Transfer Deck following the protocols established for the facility's NCDEQ Brownfields Agreement activities. The soil sample locations are shown on Figure 1. Soil samples were collected using direct-push sampling equipment. Notes regarding field sampling activities are included as Attachment A. A NCDEQ RCRA Inspection Report also describing the field sampling activities is included as Attachment B. The laboratory analytical results for the SAP and grid-based samples are summarized on Table 1. Laboratory analytical reports are included as Attachment C. As shown on Table 1, and pursuant to the SAP, the analytical results for the SAP samples were compared with the NCDEQ Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs) for data evaluation purposes. Site-specific concentration-based worker risk standards have also been established under the Brownfields Agreement; these standards were also used as comparison values. Both sets of comparison values are also shown on Table 1. 22 South Linden Street I Duquesne, PA 15110 1 412.469.9331 1 412.469.9336 fax Autumn Romanski November 29,2022 Page 2 SUMMARY OF RESULTS The following summarizes the results for each area investigated. Transfer Deck Area— East Side: The samples from the east side of the Transfer Deck (locations TD-3, TD-5, and TD-6) all had arsenic and pentachlorophenol concentrations that were above the PSRG. The arsenic concentrations were above the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard of 100 mg/kg in TD-3 (113 mg/kg) and TD-5 (220 mg/kg). The pentachlorophenol concentrations were all notably below the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard. A sample-by-sample comparison of total chromium and hexavalent chromium concentrations indicates that the chromium detected in the soil samples is primarily trivalent in form. No total chromium concentrations exceeded the PSRG; TD-3 and TD-5 had hexavalent chromium concentrations that were above the PSRG (0.99 mg/kg and 3.85 mg/kg, respectively versus a 0.31 mg/kg PSRG). The facility's Brownfields Agreement has not established a site-specific worker risk standard for total or hexavalent chromium. No other constituents were detected at concentrations that exceeded their respective PSRGs. The Brownfields Agreement protocol grid-based sampling results for arsenic and pentachlorophenol did not exceed their respective Brownfields Agreement risk-based standards. Transfer Deck Area— West Side: The samples from the west side of the Transfer Deck (locations TD- 1/TD-7D (duplicate), TD-2, and TD-4) all had arsenic and pentachlorophenol concentrations that were above the PSRG. The arsenic concentration was above the Brownfield Program standard of 100 mg/kg in TD-1 (117 mg/kg). The pentachlorophenol concentrations were all notably below the Brownfield Program standard. A sample-by-sample comparison of total chromium and hexavalent chromium concentrations indicates that the chromium detected in the soil samples is primarily trivalent in form. No total chromium concentrations exceeded the PSRG; TD-4 had a hexavalent chromium concentration that was above the PSRG (0.814 mg/kg versus a 0.31 mg/kg PSRG). The Brownfield Program has not established a site- specific worker risk standard for total or hexavalent chromium. No other constituents were detected at concentrations that exceeded their respective PSRGs. The Brownfields Agreement protocol grid-based sampling results for arsenic and pentachlorophenol did not exceed their respective Brownfields Agreement risk-based standards. Inactive Steam Line/Filter Press Area: Soil samples were collected from two borings, in close proximity to each other, from a cracked area in the concrete slab. Samples were collected from two depth intervals at location SL1 (2.9—4 feet and 4.5—5 feet, and from 3.9—5 feet at SL2. The samples all had arsenic concentrations that were above the PSRG, and the SL1 2.9—4 feet sample had an arsenic concentration (113 mg/kg) that exceeded the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard of 100 mg/kg. The pentachlorophenol concentrations in SL1 2.9—4 feet and SL2 3.9 —5 feet exceeded the PSRG, but did not exceed the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard. No other constituents were detected at concentrations that exceeded their respective PSRGs. v Autumn Romanski November 29, 2022 Page 2 CONCLUSIONS It is important to note that the facility has entered into a Brownfields Agreement with NCDEQ. This Brownfields Agreement developed risk-based soil quality criteria, and required extensive soil sampling at the facility as well as routine ongoing soil sampling into the future. The presence of historical releases of wood preserving constituents to the ground at the facility has been documented and addressed via the Brownfields Agreement. Given the facility's long history of treating wood and handling treated wood, it would therefore not be unexpected to detect wood preserving constituents in the soil surrounding the wood treating process area, and virtually impossible to identify the specific source of and timing of the release of those constituents to the soil. Although concentrations of arsenic, chromium, and pentachlorophenol exceeded PSRGs in samples collected immediately adjacent to the east and west sides of the Transfer Deck concrete slab, the magnitudes of these concentrations are not suggestive of a release of a wood preservative product— in such a case, the constituent concentrations would be expected to be at least several orders of magnitude higher. As noted above, it is not possible to determine whether these concentrations are the result of precipitation runoff from the Transfer Deck slab given the Transfer Deck slab conditions noted in the NCDEQ inspection, the result of long-term wood preserving operations and the management of treated wood products in and around the operations area (as has been addressed via the Brownfields Agreement), or both. Further, the concentrations in the discrete samples are predominantly below the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standards. Where arsenic concentrations exceed the Brownfields Agreement risk-based standard, the exceedances are not notable. Finally, the Brownfields Agreement protocol grid-based sampling results do not exceed the Brownfields Agreement standards on either the east or west side of the Transfer Deck slab. Similarly, the magnitudes of the arsenic and pentachlorophenol concentrations in the soil samples collected in the Inactive Steam Line/Filter Press area are not suggestive of a release of wood preservative product. Further, the results indicate that concentrations of arsenic and pentachlorophenol decrease with depth. The presence of the roof and concrete slab mitigate the potential for lateral or vertical migration of these constituents. In consideration of the above, we believe that the areas of interest have been fully characterized, and that the results do not represent a potential adverse risk to human health or the environment, and that the results demonstrate that no further soil remediation activities beyond those that have been previously conducted under the Brownfields Agreement are warranted.

Timber is bought from off-site,de-barked,then loaded into pressure chambers for chemical treatment.After treatment, the trams are rolled onto a transfer deck,which directs the trams into one of multiple drip bays for initial drying and capture of liquid chemical run-off.At the time of the inspection,treatment chemicals included chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and pentachlorophenol (penta). The drip bays consist of metal pans incorporated into rails, onto which trams laden with newly treated wood are rolled and allowed to drip. The drip pan/rail assemblies are affixed to an uncoated concrete floor. These pans are designed to direct drippage into one of two metal troughs located along the front edge of the concrete floor,which lead to a sump and treatment system where the liquid is processed for reuse. In addition to wood treatment,the facility accepts wastewater containing pentachlorophenol from similar Koppers,Inc. facilities in Alabama and Georgia. This wastewater is processed though the on-site non-discharge treatment system regulated by the NCDEQ Division of Water Resources.Additionally,there is a Brownfields agreement in place which addresses specific areas on the site grounds. On February 25, 2021, Wes Hare and Heather Goldman with the Hazardous Waste Section (HWS) visited Koppers Carolina Pole Leland, Inc. at 1901 Wood Treatment Road in Leland, NC to conduct a Large Quantity Generator Comprehensive Evaluation Inspection. Following the inspection an Immediate Action Notice of Violation (IA-NOV) Docket # 2022-037 was issued on February 21, 2022 that required the facility to perform a comprehensive assessment of any areas impacted by releases to uncoated concrete in the copper chromated arsenic and pentachlorophenol Drip Pad areas (AOC 1, AOC 2, and AOC 3); the uncoated concrete secondary containment areas for the copper chromated arsenic and pentachlorophenol hazardous waste tanks (AOC 3 and AOC 4); as well as spills of listed hazardous waste to the uncoated concrete in (AOC 5). This assessment was required to determine the extent of hazardous waste releases. A hazardous waste determination and appropriate disposal was required for any contaminated media or contaminated debris excavated or removed during the assessment by using representative analytical sampling or generator knowledge. Prior to initiating the corrective actions or sampling activities,a site meeting was conducted on June 20. 2022 at Koppers Carolina Pole, Inc. with facility personnel, Mike Rouse, Plant Manager, Sarah House, Safety, Health, & Environmental Manager, and Michelle Reams, Safety and Health Environmental Coordinator, and DWM staff, Autumn Romanski, Eastern Environmental Chemist. Wes Hare, Environmental Specialist II/Inspector, Heather Goldman, Eastern Unit Compliance Branch Supervisor,Kim Caulk,Compliance Branch Hydrogeologist, and Samuel Watson,Brownfields Project Manager. On September 9, 2022,Mr. Dave Kerschner, CPG,with KU Resources on behalf of Koppers Carolina Pole Leland, Inc, submitted an initial draft of the first phase of an In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan, and a second phase (as/if needed)would require submittal of an ISSP plan to address underlying soil and or background sampling(as/if needed). Comments and recommendations by the Eastern Environmental Chemist NCDEQ-HWS were provided by email on September 16, 2022, as part of the plan review, and the plan dated September 2022 2 was approved on September 16, 2022, prior to commencing with the In-situ Soil Characterization. 12) Remedial Action Oversight of In-situ Soil Characterization/Waste Determination Sampling Event: On October 5, 2022, a remediation oversight visit at Koppers Carolina Pole Leland, Inc., located in Leland, NC (Brunswick County) was conducted of the phase 1, In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Event. The purpose of the visit was to observe the in-situ soil sampling of the soil underlying the Wastewater Treatment System Filter Press containment pad where cracks and staining had been observed during prior Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted and to investigate the steam line conduit located within the containment area and observed at a subsequent site visit to confirm impacted areas of possible releases through cracks, and or under the pad near the filter press (AOC-5). Sampling of two (2) areas near the steam line conduit by the filter press and cracked cement pad per Figure 2.1 and 6.1 of the approved In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan was conducted. The facility hired Mike Tynan of IET, Inc. to conduct the drilling of sample locations using a Geoprobe to facilitate representative collection of multiple unmixed soil samples per core from the surface to below 6 inches. The facility also hired Ron Yarborough, geologist with ERM to complete the sampling. It was noted that use of the Geoprobe was a change from the original sampling plan to accommodate sampling at depth. Originally, auger sampling had been proposed,which in sandy soils below 6 inches of depth proves difficult, so the Geoprobe use was approved. Also, noted was the two borings that were drilled for soil sample collection were as close to the inactive steam line/filter press as possible given Geoprobe clearance of overhead power lines. The soil sample locations were noted by phone GPS. See Sampling event photos section of this report. Depths of soil samples collected for analysis were noted and varied dependent upon depth of fill/gravel layer on top of the soil layer. Sampling of both sides of the transfer deck incorporated(6) sample locations per figure 6.1 in the approved In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan. Each side of the transfer deck area was gridded into 3 sections,with soil sample location noted by phone GPS, and the Geoprobe was used to collect multiple unmixed soil samples per core from the surface to below 6 inches. It was noted that the length of the transfer deck provided in the initial sampling plan correspondence of 150 feet was inaccurate based on field measurement,so the sample locations were adjusted based on actual length of the deck encountered in the field and measured the day of the sampling event. The original intent of sampling three equal distant areas of each side of the transfer deck closest to the deck was accomplished,however,one side of the deck contained underground and overhead power lines,and one sample location was moved to avoid any issues with the Geoprobe and minimize risk to the power source and lines. Also, there was a slight shift in sample location placement to avoid Geoprobe drill encounter with the transfer deck anchoring cables. Soil samples were collected in clean clear glass containers and amber glass containers provided by the facility and one water sample container preserved with nitric acid (for metals water analysis)provided by the laboratory was used to complete one equipment blank near the filter press area. Soil cuttings and PPE waste were collected in a 55-gallon container labeled hazardous waste pending analysis. No Background soil samples were collected during this sampling event. Sampling protocols outlined in the first phase of an In-situ Soil Characterization Sampling Plan, except otherwise noted in this Sampling Event Report were observed followed and were 3 in general accordance with the Guidelines and/or EPA Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual. Michelle Reams completed field notes and photos of the sampling event. Ron Yarbrough and Sarah House completed the Chain of Custody and samples were shipped to Gel Laboratories for analysis. 13) Sampling Event Photo's: Photo of the AOC- Cement containment ad and steam line conduit at Filter Press _ Photo of Sampling Location May—sample locations approximated from GAIA GPS and Goo-le Earth 7 jl 1 crr?r n /* (� II au y I� S11 4 Photo of IET Inc.

Data Summary: All sample data provided in this report met the acceptance criteria specified in the analytical methods and procedures for initial calibration,continuing calibration,instrument controls and process controls where applicable,with the following exceptions. Calibration Information Continuing Calibration Verification(CCV)Requirements The calibration verification standards(CCV)did not meet acceptance criteria.One or more target analytes failed acceptance criteria with a positive bias on one or both analytical columns in the standards bracketing samples and associated QC.The positive bias for the analytical data is a result of instrument response increasing after the initial calibration.As there were no target analytes detected in the associated samples,the data were reported.All analytes were within the established retention time windows for this method. Quality Control(QQ Information Surrogate Recoveries Sample(See Below)did not meet surrogate recovery acceptance criteria.The sample was analyzed at a dilution. As a result,the surrogate was diluted out of the acceptance criteria and the data were reported. Sample Analyte Value 595762008(SL1 2.9-4ft) 2,4-Dichlorophenylacetic acid 0* (34%-149%) Spike Recovery Statement The MS and/or MSD(See Below)did not meet spike recovery acceptance limits. Since there were no target analytes detected in the parent sample above the reporting limits,the biased high recoveries had no adverse impact on the reported data.

Quality Control(QQ Information Matrix Spike(MS/MSD)Recovery Statement The percent recoveries(%R)obtained from the MS/MSD analyses are evaluated when the sample concentration is less than four times(4X)the spike concentration added. The MS/MSD(See Below)did not meet the recommended quality control acceptance criteria for percent recoveries for the following applicable analyte.The post spike recovery was within the required control limits.This verifies the absence of a matrix interference in the post-spike digested sample. The recovery may be attributed to possible sample matrix interference and/or non-homogeneity. Sample Analyte Value 1205210134(TD-1MS) Arsenic 38.1* (75%-125%) Page 54 of 58 SDG: 595762 MS/MSD Relative Percent Difference(RPD)Statement The RPD values between qualifying analyte results in the MS and MSD were not within the acceptance limits. Sample non-homogeneity and/or possible matrix interferences may be suspected. Sample Analyte Value 1205210134MS and 1205210135MSD(TD-1) Chromium RPD 23.6* (0%-20%) Technical Information Preparation/Analytical Method Verification Method SW-846 3050B is not a total digestion technique for most samples.It is a very strong acid digestion that will dissolve almost all elements that could become environmentally available.By design,elements bound in silicate structures are not normally dissolved by this procedure as they are not usually mobile in the environment. Sample Dilutions Dilutions may be required for many reasons,including to minimize matrix interferences or to bring over range target analyte concentrations into the linear calibration range. Sample was diluted in order to bring raw values within the linear range of the instrument for calcium,and for the analytes interfered with,in order to ensure that the inter-element correction factors were valid. 595762005(TD-5). 595762 Analyte 005 Chromium 5X Silver 5X Product: Mercury Analysis Using the Perkin Elmer Automated Mercury Analyzer Analvtical Method: SW846 7470A Analvtical Procedure: GL-MA-E-010 REV#38 Analvtical Batch: 2328370 Preparation Method: SW846 7470A Prep Preparation Procedure: GL-MA-E-010 REV#38 Preparation Batch:2328363 The following samples were analyzed using the above methods and analytical procedure(s).

Data Summary: All sample data provided in this report met the acceptance criteria specified in the analytical methods and procedures for initial calibration,continuing calibration,instrument controls and process controls where applicable,with the following exceptions. Calibration Information Continuing Calibration Verification(CCV)Requirements The calibration verification standards(CCV)did not meet acceptance criteria.One or more target analytes failed acceptance criteria with a positive bias on one or both analytical columns in the standards bracketing samples and associated QC.The positive bias for the analytical data is a result of instrument response increasing after the initial calibration.As there were no target analytes detected in the associated samples,the data were reported.All analytes were within the established retention time windows for this method. Quality Control(QQ Information Spike Recovery Statement The MS and/or MSD(See Below)did not meet spike recovery acceptance limits. Since there were no target analytes detected in the parent sample above the reporting limits,the biased high recoveries had no adverse impact on the reported data.

Data Summary• All sample data provided in this report met the acceptance criteria specified in the analytical methods and procedures for initial calibration,continuing calibration,instrument controls and process controls where applicable,with the following exceptions. Quality Control(QQ Information Matrix Spike(MS/MSD)Recovery Statement The percent recoveries(%R)obtained from the MS/MSD analyses are evaluated when the sample concentration Page 16 of 17 SDG: 596016 is less than four times(4X)the spike concentration added. The MS/MSD(See Below)did not meet the recommended quality control acceptance criteria for percent recoveries for the following applicable analytes. The post spike recoveries were within the required control limits. This verifies the absence of a matrix interference in the post-spike digested sample.The recoveries may be attributed to possible sample matrix interference and/or non-homogeneity.
