Physical redevelopment of the Property may not occur other than in accord with a plan, the implementation of which may not commence until DENR has approved it. The plan shall provide at a minimum for assessment of soil contamination at the Property; addressing of any such contamination discovered through the assessment or otherwise; health and safety issues associated with all potential activities described in the plan; and the timing of redevelopment phases.  16 (c). Unless DENR states otherwise in writing, in advance, regarding one or more structures, physical redevelopment of the Property may not be initiated until all structures depicted on the plat component of the Notice referenced below in paragraph 21 are demolished in accord with applicable provisions of law, including without limitation those pertaining to lead and asbestos abatement that are administered by the Health Hazards Control Unit within the Division of Public Health of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.  16 (e). No building containing enclosed space may be used or constructed on the Property unless and until DENR determines in writing that contaminated vapor does not pose an undue risk to those expected to use the building (except that the current use of buildings shown on the plat component of the Notice referenced in paragraph 21 below may continue for 270 days following recordation of said Notice). That showing may be made through evidence regarding either natural conditions in the area of the proposed building or conditions produced by work conducted in accord with subparagraph 16.b. above, or a demonstration of the effectiveness of a vapor barrier system and/or sub-slab vapor venting system, or other effective vapor mitigation system, approved in writing in advance by DENR and installed to DENR’s written satisfaction. Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K  16 (g). Except in connection with testing, remediation and monitoring required by DENR, no activities that remove or use groundwater (for example, installation of water supply wells, fountains, ponds, lakes or swimming pools supplied by groundwater, or construction or excavation activities) may occur on the Property without prior sampling and analysis of groundwater to the satisfaction of DENR, and submittal of the analytical results to DENR. Any water pumped from the ground shall be containerized, sampled and disposed of to DENR’s written satisfaction, unless this requirement is waived in writing in advance by DENR regarding a particular instance of pumping. If the analytical results disclose to DENR contamination in excess of North Carolina’s groundwater quality standards, the proposed activities may not occur without the written approval of DENR on such conditions as DENR imposes, including at a minimum the requisite legal approval of plans and procedures to protect public health and the environment during the proposed activities.  16 (l). Within 30 days after any written DENR request to do so, the then owner of each portion of the Property containing any groundwater monitoring wells, injection wells, recovery wells, piezometers and other man-made points of groundwater access at the Property shall effect the abandonment of same in accordance with Subchapter 2C of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, and shall, within 30 days after concluding such abandonment, provide the official identified in subparagraph 36 below, the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch of DENR’s Superfund Section and DENR’s Division of Water Quality a written report setting forth the abandonment procedures and results that includes well abandonment records. This Revised Redevelopment Plan is being issued also to address comments made by NCBP to the original (January 12, 2010) Redevelopment Plan. In correspondence dated February 12, 2010, NCBP requested additional details be submitted regarding several items. S&ME and Kimley-Horn representatives had several subsequent meetings and tele-conferences in March and April 2001 with NCBP representatives in an attempt to resolve the outstanding questions regarding the proposed redevelopment. This document is intended to serve as a stand alone document which includes the information provided in the January 2010 Redevelopment Plan along with updated information concerning site activities conducted since the January 2010 Plan was submitted, and additional information as requested by NCBP including the Targeted Soil Remediation Work Plan. PRE-DEMOLITION ABATEMENT & STRUCTURAL DEMOLITION The structures associated with the former Amity Gardens Shopping Center have been demolished. In accordance with state requirements, the asbestos containing materials (ACMs) were abated prior to demolition. The presence of soil and groundwater contamination did not have an impact on the above ground demolition activities. No below ground demolition has been conducted to date. Samples of the concrete and asphalt in direct contact with impacted soils were collected and submitted for Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs) analysis via the Toxicity 2 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) to aid in waste characterization. The TCLP results for the concrete and asphalt) do not contain contaminants of concern above TCLP threshold values, therefore, the slabs/footings will be milled and reused onsite. However, in order to limit the period of land disturbing activities, the asphalt paving, subsurface foundations/footings, and concrete floor slabs have been left in place pending the start of redevelopment activities. WELL ABANDONMENT As part of the site assessment activities, S&ME installed a total of 22 monitoring wells: 10 shallow groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW-10), 11 wells installed to the top of bedrock (DMW-1 through DMW-11) and a bedrock well (BMW-1) extending to a depth of 139 feet with two separate screened intervals (Figure 2). In accordance with the terms of the Brownfield Agreement, Section 16 (l), NCBP concurrence with abandonment of all site monitoring wells was obtained via correspondence from NCBP dated April 19, 2010. All of the monitoring wells at this site were subsequently abandoned by a licensed well driller and in accordance with Subchapter 2C of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code. Well Abandonment Records have been prepared and will be provided to DENR’s Division of Water Quality, NCBP, and IHSB (under a separate cover) describing the abandonment procedures and containing the abandonment records. SUBSURFACE UTILITY - DEEP SANITARY SEWER LINE A gravity flow sanitary sewer line will be installed on-site as part of the infrastructure improvements. The sanitary sewer line will traverse the site from Pierson Drive to Independence Boulevard at which point, the sewer line will connect to existing municipal sewer lines along Independence Boulevard. The sanitary sewer line will extend to maximum depth of approximately 27 feet below current ground surface and be located approximately 360 feet from the area of groundwater contamination located at monitoring well MW-1 (see Figures 1 and 2). The site civil engineers, Kimley-Horn and Associates, have worked with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) throughout the permitting and design process. During the pre-purchase due diligence, an assessment of soil and groundwater at selected points along the proposed deep sanitary sewer line was conducted for environmental and geotechnical purposes. The findings of this assessment indicated that groundwater will likely be encountered in portions of the excavation. Soil and groundwater samples collected along the deep sewer line alignment did not indicate the presence of contaminants of concern. The location of the proposed deep sanitary sewer line is depicted on the attached site plan (Figure 1). 3 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K DEWATERING The deep sewer line will be installed prior to construction of the new structure. Dewatering will be conducted as needed to facilitate deep sanitary sewer line construction. The dewatering fluids from this area of the site would be discharged onsite. As outlined below, previous groundwater analysis along the line documents that groundwater has not been impacted. In addition, at DENR’s request, hydrogeologic assessment has been conducted documenting that dewatering will not draw contaminated groundwater into the construction trench. Therefore, DENR’s written approval, per Brownfield Agreement section 16 (g), of the deep sewer line dewatering is requested. Dewatering is not anticipated to be necessary in areas of the site other than the deep sanitary sewer line. Materials and Approaches of Dewatering NCBP has requested that the materials and approaches to be taken (i.e., pumps to be used, withdrawal rates, etc.) be provided for the dewatering. Walmart intends to hold competitive bids for this work. Consequently, Walmart will not stipulate means and methods to the prospective bidders. Thus, details materials and approaches are not available and can not be provided at this time. Environmental Sampling Data from the Anticipated Dewatering Zone Dewatering will be necessary to facilitate “subsurface utility” installation associated with a sanitary sewer line at the site because of the depth to groundwater and the depth of proposed “subsurface utility” (sewer line). The depth of the on-site subsurface utility is dictated by the depth of the off-site public lines to which the on-site subsurface utility lines must connect. As part of the assessment phase of the project, S&ME installed monitoring wells (DMW-2, DMW-3B, DMW-4, DMW-5, and DMW-6, locations depicted on Figure 2) within the path of the proposed subsurface utility to evaluate the groundwater in this area of the site. The groundwater data collected from the wells installed in the anticipated zone of dewatering did not document the presence of groundwater contamination in this area of the subject site. The findings of this assessment of the anticipated dewatering zone were included within the data previously submitted to NCBP in the June 23, 2009, Summary Environmental Site Assessment Report (Pages 26-27 and associated data Tables) and documentation concerning the well installation was presented in Progress Report # 1 dated October 22, 2008 (Page 3). The proposed sewer line is located approximately 360 feet from the source area of contaminants of concern near the former location of monitoring well MW-1. However, NCBP requested additional supporting data such as a hydrogeologic assessment to back up the conclusion that the dewatering in the area of the proposed deep sanitary sewer line will not be impacted by contaminated groundwater. In response to NCBP’s request, S&ME conducted slug testing and associated modeling to support a hydrogeological evaluation of the groundwater flow in the location of the proposed sewer line. The 4 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K assessment found that the contaminated groundwater in the vicinity of former monitoring well MW-1 would not be captured by the proposed dewatering. The attached Report of Slug Testing and Dewatering Evaluation dated May 20, 2010 is provided as in Appendix I of this Revised Redevelopment Plan. Contingency Plan for Unanticipated Areas of Dewatering Dewatering is not anticipated to be necessary in areas of the site other than the deep sanitary sewer line. However, in the event that dewatering becomes necessary in locations of known soil and/or groundwater contamination, the dewatering fluids will be sampled, analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and containerized until receipt of the laboratory analysis. Copies of the analytic data will be provided to NCBP. If the laboratory analysis does not document the presence of VOCs at concentrations above the state groundwater and surface water standards, the dewatering fluids generated from this location will be discharged onsite. However, if laboratory analytical data documents the presence of VOCs in the dewatering fluids above applicable groundwater and surface water standards, the dewatering fluids from that particular location of the site will be containerized onsite pending offsite disposal at an approved facility. TARGETED SOURCE AREA SOIL REMEDIATION WORK PLAN In accordance with Section 15 of the Brownfield Agreement, DENR is not requesting the developer to perform any active soil or groundwater remediation. However, Walmart has voluntarily elected to attempt remediation of a selected area of impacted soils. NCBP has requested additional information concerning the proposed Targeted Source Area Soil Remediation. Specifically, methods and approach to be used for post-treatment soil verification, chemicals to be introduced, and whether state permits are required for the proposed treatment. Walmart intends to hold competitive bids for this work. Walmart will not stipulate means and methods to the bidders. Consequently, details of the means and methods of In-Situ Blending of Soil and Chemical Amends for the Targeted Source Area Soil Remediation can not be provided at this time. S&ME’s role will be to provide construction observation services for the Targeted Source Area Soil Remediation task and this correspondence serves as a Work Plan for the construction observation services. These construction observation services will include reviewing the soil remediation contractor’s pre-job submittals; observation and documentation of field activities associated with the Targeted Source Area Soil Remediation; documentation of field screening data via photo-ionization detector (PID) collected in the breathing space and of soils undergoing treatment; and collection, laboratory analysis, and reporting of pre-treatment and post-treatment soil samples. The pre-treatment and post-treatment analytical results will be compared to document the treatment effectiveness. 5 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K Targeted Source Area for Soil Remediation The horizontal extent of soils with contaminant concentrations equal to or above the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch Health-Based Soil Remediation Goals (IHSB- HBSRG’s) has been selected for the remediation. The vertical extent for remediation has been selected to be from the ground surface to a depth of approximately 5 feet. Five feet was selected because it is anticipated (based on the site design) that any potential construction trenches will not likely extend to or beneath this depth. The soil remediation area will be covered following soil treatment and will remain covered for a period of four to six weeks. Thus, the goal is to remediate these soils before construction, and thereby reduce the potential for worker exposure. The area of proposed soil remediation is depicted on Figure 3. Based on the environmental assessment activities conducted, groundwater contamination was found to be concentrated around monitoring well MW-1 with a significant portion of the soil contamination located beneath the existing structure where the former dry cleaner operated. The aerial extent of impacted soils above the IHSB-HBSRG’s is estimated to be approximately 2,300 square feet. Using an estimated soil density of 1.5 tons per cubic yard, remediation to 5 ft below existing soil surface computes to approximately 625 tons of soil for in-situ treatment. Description of Proposed Targeted Source Area Soil Remedial Actions Targeted source area soil remediation will be conducted by the addition of chemical amendments to the selected treatment area. The effectiveness of soil remediation is highly dependent upon the volume of soil in direct contact with the chemical amendments. Thus, in order to maximize contact, a rotary drum blender attached to an excavator will be utilized to blend the target area soils with the chemical amendments. It is anticipated that the blending process will take approximately two to three days in the field to complete. Proposed Chemical Amendments The selected remediation contractor will provide all equipment and chemical amendments for the projects. As indicated previously, means and methods may not be specified. However, S&ME has solicited input from three firms specializing in in-situ soil remediation (potential bidders) to identify potential chemical amendments for use at the subject site. Each of the firms has provided a proposed chemical amendment. Based on the documented contaminant concentrations, enhanced bioremediation / reductive dechlorination will most likely be selected. Enhanced bioremediation promotes anaerobic biological “consumption” of the contaminants by indigenous bacteria. A mixture of lactate esters and fatty acids (known under various trade names and zero- valent iron (ZVI) is proposed as the amendment. The lactate esters in both products provide a long-term (up to two years) source of hydrogen for promoting anaerobic degradation of the contaminants; the addition of ZVI increases the rate of reductive dechlorination, treats higher concentrations of chlorinated hydrocarbons, and adds abiotic reduction capability. Studies have shown that a combination of biological and abiotic degradation is faster and more complete than either individual method. The abiotic beta- 6 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K elimination pathway provided by ZVI reduces the probability of creation of chlorinated daughter products during reduction. The proposed chemical amendments are each discussed below. The winning bidder for the contract will select the chemical amendment and be responsible for providing documentation that their selection will achieve the project goals (i.e., a pay for performance type system). The proposed amendments are as follows.  Anaerobic Biochem Plus (ABC® +) is a mixture of Anaerobic BioChem, a lactate, with the addition of zero valent iron. The ABC+ works via bioremediation. A copy of a brochure for the ABC+ is attached for your reference.  3-D Microemulsion (3DMe)® is a type of Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®). A copy of a brochure for the 3DMe)® is attached for your reference.  Persulfate has been proposed by one firm to be utilized as a means of chemical oxidation. Once the winning bidder is selected, documentation of the chemical amendment selected will be provided with the targeted soil remediation documentation package for submittal to NCBP. NCBP Permit Requirements Multiple alternative remedial methodologies and approaches were considered. As part of the remedial methodology selection process, the need for permitting was investigated for each of the potential remedial options. In-situ soil blending (a.k.a. soil mixing) was selected as the remedial technology to be utilized at this site in part because of the lack of required permits. In-situ soil blending does not generate a (soil) waste, and thus, no permitting associated with waste transportation and disposal is required. There was a question as to whether an injection permit would be necessary. In order to answer this question, on April 17, 2009, Ms. Julie Bennett with S&ME contacted Mr. Thomas Slusser of NCBP’s Aquifer Protection Section via e-mail to inquire if an injection permit would be required to conduct the proposed in-situ blending activity. Mr. Slusser responded (via e-mail) on April 22, 2009. According to Mr. Slusser, if remediation activities occur above or below the water table, an injection permit is required; IF the boring, excavation, etc. meets the 15A NCAC 2C.0204 regulatory definition of a well: and is deeper than it's largest surface dimension and is intended to be used for the injection (emplacement or discharge) of solids or fluids into the subsurface or groundwater.” Based on the proposed blending area configuration, the proposed depth (5 feet bls) would not be exceeded by the smallest surface dimension (125 feet). Thus, the proposed action would not require an injection permit from the NCBP-Aquifer Protection Section. A copy of the e-mail correspondence is available upon request.  Post Treatment Documentation and Verification  It is estimated that the majority of the soil biodegradation and reduction will occur within the first six to eight weeks. However, an initial sampling event is scheduled to 7 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K occur approximately 10 days after the in-situ blending is complete. The 10-day sample data is not anticipated to meet remediation goals but will serve as an indicator that treatment is occurring. Four representative soil sample locations will be selected for the 10-day sampling event.  Approximately six weeks after completion of the in-situ soil blending, soil samples will be collected for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the in-situ soil blending at reducing the contaminant concentrations. S&ME will collect up to 16 post-remediation soil samples to be submitted for analysis by a North Carolina Certified laboratory for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via EPA Method 8260B. The soil samples will be collected from a variety of depths with a maximum depth of five feet below land surface. The treated soils are anticipated to be soft and thus, S&ME proposes to collect the soil samples using a hand auger.  The area in which the in-situ soil blending takes place will not be suitable to support a structure/building on top of the remediation area without enhancement. A tensar biaxial geogrid (BX1200) will be placed over the remediation area to enhance stability of the remediation area. This type of geogrid will effectively create a bridge over the area of soft soils. Fill material would be placed on top of the geogrid. The geogrid area has been assumed to be equal to the area of the remediation zone plus ten percent (i.e. 2,300 square feet + 230 square feet = 2,530 square feet).  Following receipt of the laboratory results and completion of the geogrid placement, S&ME will prepare a written report documenting the targeted source area soil remediation activities. The report will include a map depicting the treatment area, a discussion of the remediation methodology, photographs of the in- situ blending activities, laboratory results of the post-remediation soil samples, and documentation of the placement of the geogrid over the remediation zone. FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION 21 feet 21 feet 5 feet 23 feet Building Pad ALLUVIUM EXISTING FILL RESIDUUM NEW FILL CREEK *FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. DEPTHS AND DISTANCES VARY ACROSS THE SITE. Geopiers Due to a compressible layer of alluvial soils underlying the existing fill on site, either extensive site work and grading or deep foundation support is required in order to limit 8 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K settlement of the proposed Walmart building. Of the foundation support options considered that would satisfy the structural and geotechnical requirements, the Geopier® Impact Pier was selected because it is installed without producing spoils thus limiting contact with contaminated soils and groundwater. In addition, the piers are constructed using materials that will not be affected by the presence of the contaminants of concern or soil treatment amendments. VAPOR INTRUSION As per Section 16 (e) of the Brownfield Agreement, with exception for currently occupied buildings, no building containing enclosed space may be used or constructed on the property unless and until DENR determines in writing that contaminated vapor does not pose an undue risk to those expected to use the building. According to the Brownfield Agreement, the showing may be made through evidence regarding either natural conditions in the area of the proposed building or conditions produced by work conducted in accord with the Brownfield Agreement subparagraph 16.b or a demonstration of the effectiveness of a vapor barrier system and/or sub-slab vapor venting system, or other effective vapor mitigation system, approved in writing in advance by DENR and installed to DENR’s written satisfaction. Assessment of the subsurface soil and groundwater has been conducted at the subject site. Contaminated soils have been determined to be limited to a small area of the subject site beneath a couple of units of the former multi-unit strip center building. Groundwater contamination also appears to be limited in horizontal extent to an area around monitoring well MW-1 (Figure 2). The depth to groundwater in the area of soil and groundwater contamination is approximately 13 feet below existing land surface. The area of impact will correspond to the future location of a portion of the stock room for the proposed Walmart Store. The stock room will not be continually occupied and will not be accessible to customers. Vapor Intrusion Prevention Measures Considerable time and effort have been expended to develop a multi-prong approach to significantly abate the potential for vapor intrusion within the proposed Walmart Store. These efforts included a review of available literature on the effectiveness of vapor barrier systems conducted in Summer 2009, a Fall 2009 review of NCBP files to identify the actions and NCBP requested field verification for other sites across North Carolina, and solicitation of input from the project design team which included environmental, civil engineering, architectural, structural, and mechanical/electronic engineering personnel. Similar to the Multiple Lines of Evidence (MLE) approach utilized for assessment of vapor intrusion potential, this approach has been selected to address potential vapor intrusion via multiple independent methodologies. Multiple steps have been planned to reduce the potential for vapor intrusion in the new structure. However, each of the approaches can be utilized effectively individually and do not rely on one another to be effective. The results of the proposed plan to address vapor intrusion potential are described by the following steps. 9 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K Source Area Reduction Targeted source area soil remediation is proposed as a means of reducing the contaminant mass and consequently, the potential for vapor intrusion. Increase Distance Between Floor Slab and Contamination Clean fill material will be added to increase the distance between the finished floor of the proposed structure and the contaminated materials (soils/groundwater) by adding three (3) to six (6) feet of clean fill material to the existing ground surface. Decrease Preferential Pathways For Vapors Fill soils will be placed onsite and compacted as a means to decrease preferential pathways for vapors. Compacting the fill material will serve to reduce the pore space in the soils through which vapors may collect and/or travel. Venting System Subsurface vapors will be diverted via installation of a passive venting system. A passive system was selected because it is environmentally friendly as it will not require additional energy consumption to operate; the passive system will not require the use of blowers and thus will reduce the number of components which have the potential to wear out and fail over time; and to minimize overall system operation and maintenance needs which also reduces costs and increases dependability. S&ME personnel will conduct construction observations during installation of the passive venting to document that the passive venting system has been installed as per the design and specifications. A copy of the venting system specifications is provided in Appendix II. An engineer’s certification statement will be provided to document the construction observations, photographs documenting the installation, and a brief narrative describing the installation of the passive venting system. Vapor Barrier A vapor barrier will be installed as a means to retard vapor intrusion into the proposed structure. Materials (the barrier, boots, tapes, etc) specifically designed for this application were selected and specified in the design. S&ME personnel working in concert with a specialty contractor met with vapor barrier manufactures to select the material of construction for the vapor barrier and associated boots. S&ME personnel will conduct construction observations during vapor barrier installation to document that the vapor barrier has been installed as per the design and specifications. A copy of the vapor barrier specifications is provided as Appendix II. An engineer’s certification statement will be provided to document the vapor barrier installation, photographs documenting the installation, and a brief narrative describing the installation. Floor Slab Wal-Mart’s store design utilizes the floor slab as a structural component. Walmart utilizes a specialty contractor for the floor slab. S&ME and our subcontractor (W.S.P. Sells) have worked in conjunction with Wal-Mart’s Floor Slab Contractor to develop the specifications for the venting system and vapor barrier to work in concert with the structural slab requirements. There is particular emphasis placed on maintaining the 10 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K integrity of the floor slab. To this end, construction sequencing is such that the sub-base is placed and the shell of the building including the roof area constructed prior to placement of the floor slab. Site Configuration The Walmart Project Team has examined potential ways to configure the structure and parking field on the subject site. The area of contamination is primarily located in an isolated area near the western property boundary with the majority of the site not impacted. However, based on physical site constraints and roadway set back requirements, the location of the proposed building could not be redesigned to avoid the area of contamination completely. Fortunately, the building could be configured such that the area of contamination will be beneath an isolated portion of the new structure which will be utilized for storage space. The public will not have access to the storage area and Walmart Associates will be present in this area for limited periods of time. Additionally, subsurface utilities and sub-slab penetrations have been routed around the area of documented soil and groundwater contamination. Building Ventilation / HVAC The North Carolina State Mechanical Code (with amendments to the 2006 International Mechanical Code), and ASHRAE 62.1 2004 will be used to design of the building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The building ventilation system is designed to prevent vapor intrusion into the structure. Under normal operating conditions, the building air supply will be replaced every 2.5 hours. The rooftop units supply 19,460 cubic feet per minute of outside air and the building volume is approximately 3,002,220 cubic feet. The International Mechanical Code requirement for this store is 18,102 cubic feet per minute of outside air. Additional roof top units are capable of supplying 100% outside air if carbon dioxide levels rise to 1100 parts per million wherein, an additional 31,815 cubic feet per minute of outside air would be brought in until carbon dioxide levels decrease to an acceptable level. The building exhausts 17,512 cubic feet per minute resulting in a net positive pressurization of 1,948 cubic feet per minute during normal operation. This positive air pressure inside the building inhibits infiltration which includes vapor intrusion. Even if the slab or the vapor barrier system were compromised, this pressurized system would detour vapors from entering the building. Further, the replacement of air every 2.5 hours also limits the potential for exposure. Wal-Mart’s mechanical contractor for the project, HEI will provide periodic site construction observations to assist in verifying the construction and installation is in general conformance with the plans and specifications. The HVAC equipment manufacturers will perform start up and commissioning of all their units. Once the commissioning is complete, HEI will make a Building Performance Verification visit, to observe the functional performance of HVAC equipment. Once operational the ventilation system will be monitored by Wal-Mart’s central monitoring station. In the event of a system outage, command center personnel will be alerted and necessary measures take to resolve the malfunction. 11 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K Post Construction System Checks As per standard protocol for construction of Wal-Mart Stores, an independent firm will conduct test and balance of the ventilation system prior to occupancy. The test and balance will be utilized as confirmation that the ventilation system is operating as designed. Modifications to the system will be made, if needed, to achieve compliance with the design specifications. A certification statement can be provide by the test and balance firm to document that testing was conducted and that the ventilation system is operating with the positive pressure as designed. Post Construction Vapor Intrusion System Monitoring The February 12, 2010 NCBP correspondence states the following. “While the overall Plan contains some reasonable approaches to mitigate expected vapor intrusion at this site, the Plan fails to provide any demonstration (i.e. field verification) that vapor intrusion risk has been eliminated and/or significantly abated at the property.” In response to this correspondence, a follow-up meetings, tele-conferences, and emails exchanges were held with NCBP, Wal-Mart, Troutman Sanders, S&ME, and Kimley- Horn personnel to resolve the demonstration requirement. It is our understanding based on these exchanges with NCBP that that post-construction monitoring of the vapor intrusion prevention system will be required in order gain NCBP approval of the Redevelopment Plan. Further, in an email correspondence dated April 21, 2010, NCBP’s Joe Ghiold provided a written description of an acceptable means of post-construction monitoring. The following proposed post-construction monitoring approach is based on the information provided by the April 21, 2010 email. Four pressure measurement locations will be established. Two pressure measurement locations will be placed within the interior of the store in the stock room area. Two additional pressure monitoring points will be located beneath the slab and above the vapor barrier and passive venting system in the area of contamination. Each pressure monitor will be capable of measuring at least a pressure differential of 2 Pascal (Pa). A telemetry system will be installed to record and transmit the pressure monitoring data to S&ME for preparation of monitoring reports. Note, the subsurface pressure monitors will not be installed in such as manner to allow for future replacement in the event of monitoring system failure. Pressure monitoring will be conducted for a period of seven continuous months and provided to NCBP in graphical format at the end of each 60 day monitoring period. As per NCBP, the data will be captured at 10 second intervals or less, the data may be averaged, and one (1) to five (5) minute averages recorded. At the end of the seven month monitoring period documentation of the system efficacy will be provided to NCBP. The pressure monitoring system will be permanently decommissioned following completion of the pressure monitoring. If the pressure monitoring data averaged over thirty (30) day periods, indicates that a pressure differential of 2 Pascal or more is consistently being met, the vapor system analysis will be considered complete and NCBP will consider the vapor system effective per section 16 (e) of the Brownfield Agreement. If the pressure monitoring data averaged 12 Revised Redevelopment Plan – Proposed Walmart #1666-04 May 2010 East Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263K 13 over thirty (30) day periods indicates that a pressure differential of 2 Pascal is not consistently being met, Wal-Mart may make a demonstration that the system effectiveness does not pose an undue risk to those expected to use the building or the system may be modified to address the pressure differential. These modifications may include increasing the positive pressure HVAC system, modifications to the venting system or other means deemed necessary to achieve the pressure requirement. Closure, interruption or other interference with the normal operations of the store will not be required. If modifications to the system are implemented, documentation of the modifications will be provided to NCBP. HEALTH AND SAFETY PLANNING Measures have been taken to reduce potential health and safety concerns associated with the presence of soil and groundwater contamination at the site. The voluntary soil remediation will be conducted by OSHA 40-Hour trained personnel and will be staged to occur before most of the construction work begins on site. Additionally, a worker orientation program is being developed for all personnel who will be working at the site. The orientation program will provide workers with basic knowledge about the types of contaminants present at the site and where they are likely to be encountered. Procedures for notification of supervisors in the event of discovery of unforeseen contamination will be discussed. PROJECT PHASING As indicated above the structures associated with the former Amity Gardens Shopping Center have been demolished and the monitoring wells have been abandoned. The asphalt parking areas and floor slabs remain in place pending the start of redevelopment actions. Following receipt of approval of the Revised Redevelopment Plan, bid documents will be prepared and the site work will be let out for bids. The next task will be to conduct the targeted soil remediation. The deep sewer line will be installed prior to construction of the new structure; and may be installed prior to or concurrently with the targeted soil remediation. The next tasks will be site preparation (i.e. removal of floor slabs/asphalt paving, adding fill material, grading), installation of foundations (see above), followed by construction of the building shell. The vapor barrier and passive venting system will be installed after the building shell is in place. The floor slab will be poured, following the vapor barrier and passive venting system installation.

Reference: Report of Slug Testing and Dewatering Evaluation Charlotte (E) Proposed Wal-Mart Store # 1666-04 Amity Gardens Shopping Center Intersection of Pierson Drive and East Independence Boulevard Charlotte, North Carolina S&ME Proposal No. 1354-22853-10 S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263R Dear Mr. Watts: S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to have the opportunity to submit this letter report presenting an evaluation of dewatering during the installation of the new sanitary sewer line for the above referenced project. We provided these services in accordance with a “Standard Agreement for Professional Services Between Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. and an Associate Consultant”. The purpose of this evaluation is to predict the potential for the dewatering activities associated with the installation of the sanitary sewer line to pull contaminated groundwater from the area of monitor well MW-1, located approximately 360 feet from the proposed sewer line. In summary, the evaluation predicts that contaminants would move less than 7 to 10 feet over a 60 day dewatering period and thus, would not reach the area of dewatering activities during the installation of the sewer line. 1 BACKGROUND S&ME is currently providing a variety of environmental and geotechnical services to Kimley- Horn for the above referenced project. As per a April 19, 2010 verbal request from Mr. Austin Watts of Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. (KHA), S&ME submitted a proposal to KHA to conduct slug testing, data reduction, and groundwater flow modeling in order to address questions raised by North Carolina Brownfield Program (NCBP) regarding dewatering at the subject site, specifically along the proposed deep sanitary sewer line. The results of the slug testing and associated data reduction and groundwater modeling will be utilized to support the pending Redevelopment Plan revisions. The site development plans are illustrated on Figure 1 and the site location is illustrated on Figure 2. Report of Slug Testing and Dewatering Evaluation S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263R Proposed Wal-Mart Store # 1666-04, Charlotte, North Carolina May 20, 2010 2 PURPOSE The purpose of this evaluation is to predict the potential for the dewatering activities associated with the installation of the sanitary sewer line to pull contaminated groundwater from the area of monitor well MW-1. Noting that the hydrogeologic characteristics of the site are limited, S&ME performed this evaluation using a conservative approach and simulating groundwater flow/drawdown using a three dimensional groundwater flow model (Visual MODFLOW). The following steps briefly describe the approach to the evaluation: 1) Perform slug testing in selected monitor wells to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the upper aquifer. 2) Model groundwater flow and drawdown using a flat one-layer model. 3) Predict the drawdown of the groundwater surface that would be created during the dewatering activities. a. We understand that the sewer line will be installed in sections (i.e., approximately 100 feet), and we have simulated the dewatering along a 120-foot section as a conservative dewatering interval. b. The 120-foot section of sewer line nearest monitor well MW-1 was selected to have the most likely potential for drawing water from the area near MW-1 to the sewer line. c. The installation of each 100-foot sewer line section is expected to take approximately 2 to 5 days, depending on weather conditions. We modeled the dewatering activities over a 60-day period to be conservative. d. The initial groundwater flow simulation used a hydraulic conductivity value of 1.1 ft/day (the arithmetic average of slug testing results) and an assumed specific yield of 0.1 (a typical low value for unconfined aquifers). Additional simulations used hydraulic conductivity values of one order of magnitude less than and greater than the average value. A fourth simulation used a specific yield of 0.3 (a typical high value for unconfined aquifers). 4) Graph the resulting “cones of depression” for the four simulated runs along the row that includes MW-1, MW-4, and the nearest location of the sewer line. 5) Using the predicted drawdown results along the row mentioned above, and the groundwater elevations based on April 21, 2010 water level measurements, graph the resulting groundwater surface. Calculate the following from MW-4 to the sewer line for the first simulation and for the maximum drawdown values from the four simulations. a. Gradient b. Groundwater velocity c. Groundwater travel distance from MW-4 toward the sewer line. Note that no contaminants have been detected in monitor well MW-4 located approximately 220 feet from the proposed sewer line. Monitor well MW-1, with 2 Report of Slug Testing and Dewatering Evaluation S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263R Proposed Wal-Mart Store # 1666-04, Charlotte, North Carolina May 20, 2010 previous detections of contaminants in the groundwater, is located approximately 360 feet from the proposed sewer line. 3 RESULTS 3.1 Slug Testing S&ME performed rising head slug tests using four monitor wells: (MW-4, DMW-2, DMW-4 and DMW-5) on April 21, 2010. These wells were selected since they are located near or along the proposed sanitary sewer line. The following steps were performed: 1) Remove the water-tight cap from the top of well casing and measure the depth to water from the top of casing. 2) Lower a transducer/datalogger and electric pump into the well to near the base of the well. 3) Measure the depth to water until the water level returns to at or near the static water level. 4) Lower the water level meter to approximately 4 feet into the water column. 5) Turn the electric pump on and then turn the pump off with the water level in the well is lowered approximately 4 feet (based on the signal from the water level meter). A valve at the discharge end of the pump tubing is closed at the same time to prevent water in the tubing from being released back into the well. 6) Raise the water level meter to near the original depth to water level and wait for the water level to rise to the water level meter. 7) Remove the datalogger and pump from the well and recap the well. 8) Download the data from the datalogger and use the Bower & Rice Method to estimate the hydraulic conductivity. The results of the Bower & Rice Method and well logs for the wells are included in Appendix I. In addition, a cross-section of the proposed sewer line along manhole MH#3 and MH#5 is also included in Appendix I. The test for MW-4 was run twice and the results for both tests indicated a higher recovery rate between 1.4 and 2.3 minutes, suggesting a higher permeability layer the aquifer at this depth, and this value is used in the estimation of hydraulic conductivity. A summary of the estimated hydraulic conductivity values for the tests are presented below. 3 Report of Slug Testing and Dewatering Evaluation S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263R Proposed Wal-Mart Store # 1666-04, Charlotte, North Carolina May 20, 2010 Well Conductivity (ft/day) Conductivity (cm/sec) MW-4 1.63 5.75E-4 DMW-2 0.329 1.16E-4 DMW-4 1.89 6.65E-4 DMW-5 0.502 1.77E-4 Average 1.1 3.83E-4 Geometric Mean 0.68 2.98E-4 4 GROUNDWATER LEVELS On April 21, 2010, S&ME also measured the depth to water in monitor wells that could be located. The water level data are presented in Table 1. Based on the top of casing elevations, the groundwater elevations were used to prepare a groundwater surface map (Figure 3). The location of the monitor wells, Edwards Branch, the proposed Wal-Mart building and sanitary sewer line are indicated also indicated on Figure 3. 5 GROUNDWATER FLOW MODELING S&ME used Visual MODFLOW© to simulate the drawdown of the groundwater surface from dewatering activities associated with the installation of the sanitary sewer line. For the purposes of this evaluation, the model grid was prepared with one layer, with 60 rows and 60 columns at 20-foot spacings and an aquifer thickness of 40 feet. Edwards Branch and the eastern boundary conditions were set as constant head boundaries at an elevation of 40 feet. The model input parameters are presented in Table 2. Model input and output figures are included in Appendix II. The model was used to predict the drawdown of the groundwater surface as one large uniform aquifer, with the resulting drawdown values along a row containing MW-1, MW-4 and the sewer line nearest MW-1, superimposed on the April 21, 2010 groundwater surface. Four simulations were performed with the following hydraulic conductivity (in ft/day) and specific yield values: Simulation Run# Hydraulic Conductivity (ft/day) Specific Yield 1 1.1 0.1 2 0.11 0.1 3 11 0.1 4 1.1 0.3 4 Report of Slug Testing and Dewatering Evaluation S&ME Project No. 1354-06-263R Proposed Wal-Mart Store # 1666-04, Charlotte, North Carolina May 20, 2010 The predicted drawdowns (“cones of depression”) are illustrated in Chart #1. Note that as expected, the “cone of depression” is greatest for the higher hydraulic conductivity and least for the lower hydraulic conductivity. Note also that the “cone of depression” for the higher specific yield is less than that for the lower specific yield. Higher specific yields represent a dewatering of the pore space of the aquifer (i.e., unconfined aquifer) rather than from just a reduction in the pressures within the aquifer. Chart #2 illustrates the “cone of depression” from Run #1, the April 21, 2010 groundwater surface, and the resulting groundwater surface after 60 days of dewatering. Based on the resulting groundwater elevations between monitor well MW-4 and the sewer line, the predicted groundwater velocity is 0.17 ft/day from MW-4 toward the sewer line. At this velocity, the groundwater travel distance over the 60-day dewatering time period would be 10 feet. Monitor well MW-4 is approximately 220 feet from the sewer line. Chart #3 illustrates the same, except that the “cone of depression” used is based on the maximum drawdown values from the four different runs, to provide a more conservative drawdown. The resulting hydraulic gradient from MW-4 to the sewer line is less than that for Run #1. Thus, the resulting velocity is also less (0.12 ft/day) and the groundwater travel distance over the 60-day dewatering time period is less (7.3 feet). The MODFLOW simulations predict the flow from the drains (dewatering during trench installation) to range from 1.4 gallons per minute (gpm) to 48 gpm. The simulated drain flows using the average hydraulic conductivity of 1.1 ft/day and specific yield values of 0.1 and 0.3 were 8.1 and 10 gpm. The actual flow during dewatering activities for each approximate 100-foot section is expected to range across the length of proposed sewer line. 6 CONCLUSIONS Based on the limited groundwater flow/dewatering evaluation, the shallow groundwater flow west of the sewer line would be from monitor MW-1 and MW-4 toward the sewer line. However, over a 60-day dewatering period, the predicted groundwater travel distance from MW-4 toward the sewer line would be on the order of 10 feet. The actual dewatering time period for each section of sewer line installation is expected to be approximately 2 to 5 days. Monitor well MW-4 (with no prior detections of contaminants in the groundwater) is located approximately 220 from the sewer line. Monitor well MW-1 is located approximately 360 feet from the sewer line. Thus, based on the MODFLOW simulations, the dewatering activities are not expected to result in the removal of groundwater contaminants from the area of MW-1. 5 LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Figures 1 Site Development Plan 2 USGS Topographic Map 3 Groundwater Surface Map (April 21, 2010) Tables 1 Well Construction and Water Level Data 2 MODFLOW Input Variables Charts 1 Dewatering Drawdown “Cones of Depression” 2 Run #1 Resulting Groundwater Surface 3 Runs #1-4 Combined Resulting Groundwater Surface Appendices I Slug Test Results, Well Logs, and Proposed Sanitary Sewer Plan/Profile II MODFLOW Input/Output Figures FIGURES 0 1300 ft NTS 05/18/2010 DRA 1354-06-263R USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAP Wal-Mart Store #1666-04 Independence Blvd & Pierson Dr Charlotte, North Carolina 2 A1 INDEPENDENCE Source: 1991 Charlotte Quadrangle, NC USGS topographic map Approximate Property Boundary TABLES 1 WELL CONSTRUCTION AND WATER LEVEL DATA 2 MODFLOW INPUT VARIABLES Table 1Well Construction and Water Level DataWal-Mart Store #1666-04Independence Boulevard and Pierson DriveCharlotte, North CarolinaS&ME Project 1354-06-263RWell NumberTotalDepth (ft)ScreenLength (ft)Depth toScreen (ft)TOC Elevation§(msl)WaterLevels (ft)PotentiometricElevation (msl)Shallow WellsMW-125.0 10 15.0 710.11NMMW-2***25.0 10 15.0 707.88NMMW-325.0 10 15.0 708.2117.64 690.57MW-425.0 10 15.0 711.0223.38 687.64MW-5 / GP-1524.9 10 14.9 706.4215.88 690.54MW-6 / GP-1620.0 10 10.0 701.4514.91 686.54MW-7 /GP-1729.4 10 19.4 704.3018.79 685.51MW-8 / GP-1825.0 10 15.0 706.4613.39 693.07MW-9 / GP-1920.4 10 10.4 714.569.85 704.71MW-10 / GP-2020.5 10 10.5 721.1411.65 709.49MW-11/GP-2223.0 10 13.0 N/A15.46 N/AMW-12/GP-2320.0 10 10.0 N/A10.29 N/AIntermediate Depth Wells DMW-157.0 10 52.0 710.1019.50 690.60DMW-264.3 10 54.3 714.678.49 706.18DMW-3B43.8 10 33.8 709.3719.27 690.10DMW-446.0 10 36.0 715.8223.38 692.44DMW-543.0 10 33.0 722.0127.16 694.85DMW-658.0 10 48.0 706.3713.36 693.01DMW-777.8 10 67.8 720.9314.31 706.62DMW-843.0 10 33.0 706.84NMDMW-955.9 10 45.9 725.1222.64 702.48DMW-1061.7 10 51.7 726.5315.38 711.15DMW-1162.0 10 52.0 701.2614.59 686.67Deep WellBMW-1 (Outer 4") *110.9 10 77.0 713.35NMBMW-1 (Inner 2")**139.1 10 117.6 713.3525.75 687.60Notes: ft = feet below TOCTOC = Top of Casing Elevation in feet§ = Elevation data obtained from survey prepared by R.B.

Trademark pending ABC+ PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT Redox Tech, Inc is pleased to offer an enhanced version of our industry proven Anaerobic Biochem (ABC®) formula, promoting both anaerobic biodegradation and reductive dechlorination of halogenated solvents in groundwater. This product, Anaerobic Biochem Plus (ABC+), is a mixture of our ABC® formula and Zero Valent Iron (ZVI). Formulated and mixed on a site-by-site basis, up to fifty percent (50%) by weight of ZVI can be added. ZVI has been proven and widely accepted as an effective in situ remediation technology of chlorinated solvents such as TCA, PCE, TCE, and daughter products. The degradation process using ZVI is an abiotic reductive dechlorination process occurring on the surface of the granular iron, with the iron acting as an electron donor. The addition of ZVI to the ABC® mixture provides a number of advantages for enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD). The ZVI will provide an immediate reduction. The ABC® will provide short-term and long-term nutrients to anaerobic growth, which also assists to create a reducing environment. ABC® contains soluble lactic acid and a phosphate buffer that provides phosphates, which are a micronutrient for bioremediation, and maintains the pH in a range that is best suited for microbial growth. In addition, the corrosion of iron metal yields ferrous iron and hydrogen, both of which are possible reducing agents. The hydrogen gas produced is also an excellent energy source for a wide variety of anaerobic bacteria. The ABC® and ZVI are mixed with potable water and emplaced in the subsurface simultaneously. The dilution factor (i.e. water content) can be adjusted to achieve optimal dispersion and distribution based on site-specific parameters such as well spacing, permeability of the formation, and contaminant concentrations. The solution can be emplaced by a variety of techniques, including injection through wells or drill rods (for permeable geologic environments such as sands and fractured rock), hydraulic fracturing (for lower permeable environments such as silt and clay), and through soil blending (for all unconsolidated shallow depth applications less than 20 ft bgs). All of these techniques are part of Redox Tech’s service offerings. Benefits of ABC+ include: • The presence of ZVI allows for the rapid and complete dechlorination of target compounds. Degradation rates using ZVI are several orders of magnitude greater than under natural conditions. As a consequence, the process does not result in the formation of daughter products other than ethane, ethane, and methane. • ABC® will last up to 12 months in the subsurface environment due to slow releasing compounds, allowing for long-term anaerobic biodegradation • By creating a reducing environment, ABC+ has the ability to provide long term immobilization of heavy metals (e.g. Ni, Zn, Hg, As) Providing Innovative Soil and Water Solutions Redox Tech, LLC • Does not require direct contact to act on target constituents. • Does not divert groundwater flow. ABC is typically mixed at a 15% by weight solution with water. The viscosity of the solution is similar to sugar water and therefore does not measurably influence groundwater flow paths. Due to the relatively low volume of ZVI used, it does not measurably lower the bulk permeability of the formation. • Ease of handling. The ABC+ product is comprised of food grade compounds and therefore does not require high-levels of personal protective equipment (PPE) or special training to handle. The ZVI is a stable compound that also requires low- level PPE protection. • Patent protection: Redox Tech is licensed under Envirometal Technologies, Inc. (an Adventus Company) who is the current holder of patents pertaining to remediation using ZVI. Therefore, Redox Tech is able to market, sell, and emplace our ABC+ product. There is no patent infringement risk to the client in selecting the ABC+ approach. • Price advantage. The cost of the ABC+ formula is an extremely competitive approach in relation to other ERD products on the market. • ABC+ produces a significantly lower redox potential of approximately –600 mV Redox Potential Comparison -800 -600 -400 -200 0 200 400 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 Treatment Time (days)Redox Potential (mV)Control ABC®ABC+® Let Redox Tech help formulate a remedial program for your site today.

The 3DMe Molecule 3DMe is perhaps the most advanced, highly-distributable electron donor in the injectable remediation products marketplace today. Delivered on-site as a concentrated material, 3DMe is then emulsified with water forming an easy to handle and pump microemulsion with a relatively high hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB). This high HLB allows dilute 3DMe suspensions to be well distributed across contaminant plumes without high injection costs. Purpose 3DMe produces a sequential, staged release of its electron donor components (Figure 2). This staged fermentation provides an immediate, mid-range and long-term, controlled-release supply of hydrogen (electron donor) to fuel the reductive dechlorination process. Stage 1 - the immediately available free lactic acid (lactate) is fermented rapidly Stage 2 - the controlled-release lactic acid (polylactate ester based portion) is metabolized at a more controlled rate Stage 3 - the free fatty acids and fatty acid esters are converted to hydrogen over a mid to long-range timeline giving 3DMe an exceptionally long electron donor release profile Longevity Typical 3DMe single application longevity is rated at periods of up to 3 to 4 years. With 4 years occurring under optimal conditions, e.g. low permeability, low consumption environments. Functionality 3DMe applications can be configured in several different ways including: grids, barriers and Product Categories Enhanced Aerobic Bioremediation Enhanced Anaerobic Bioremediation 3-D Microemulsion (3DMe®) Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®) Hydrogen Release Compound [eXtended release formula] (HRC- X®) Hydrogen Release Compound Primer (HRC Primer®) In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) Bioaugmentation Metals Immobilization Quick Links Free Tech Transfer Seminars Free Cost Estimate & Project Evaluation Online Application Software Case Studies Join our Mailing List Site Map Additional Information: 3DMe MSDS 3DMe Brochure 3DMe Application Instructions 3DMe FAQ's Controlled- Release Technology (CRT) 3DMe Case Studies 3DMe Tech Bulletins Free Site Evaluation and Cost Estimate Injection Ready 3DMe Microemulsion Search | Wednesday, March 24, 2010 Click Here to Visit our Geo-Seal® Vapor Barrier Products Division Advanced Technologies for Contaminated Site Remediation Company Worldwide Products Services Resources Green Blog Order Contact 3-D Microemulsion (3DMe)™ (HRC Advanced®) http://www.regenesis.com/contaminated-site-remediation-products/enhanced-anaerobic-bioremediation/3DMe/[3/24/2010 1:00:51 PM] Product Specifications Delivered as an amber colored semi-viscous liquid After field emulsification material becomes a less viscous, watery, cream colored microemulsion Composition – lactic acid, glycerol, glycerol tripolylactate, neutralized fatty acids, HRC- PED Sequential, staged, controlled –release of (electron donors) for periods of up to 4 years Packaged and delivered in various quantities: 5000 gallon tankers, 2000 lb. totes, 400 lb. drums, 30 lb.

The material itself can be applied to the subsurface through the use of direct-push injection, hollow-stem auger, existing wells or re-injection wells. 3DMe is typically applied in high-volumes as an emulsified, micellar suspension (microemulsion). The microemulsion is easily pumped into the subsurface and is produced on-site by mixing specified volumes of water and delivered 3DMe concentrate. 3DMe is usually applied throughout the entire vertical thickness of the determined treatment area. Once injected, the emulsified material moves out into the subsurface pore spaces forming micelles and moving via micellar transport, eventually coating most all available surfaces, these structures provide the added benefit of increased distribution via migration to areas of lower concentration. Over time the released soluble components of 3-D Microemulsion are distributed within the aquifer via the physical process of advection and the concentration driven forces of diffusion. 3DMe and Micellar Transport Micelles are groups (spheres) of molecules with the hydrophilic group facing out to the water and the “tails” or lipophilic moiety facing in. They are formed during the 3-D Microemulsion emulsification process and provide the added benefit of increased distribution via migration to areas of lower concentration. 3DMe Large Scale Tote Application Creating the 3DMe Microemulsion On- Site Direct Push Injection of 3DMe Injection Well Application of 3DMe 3-D Microemulsion (3DMe)™ (HRC Advanced®) http://www.regenesis.com/contaminated-site-remediation-products/enhanced-anaerobic-bioremediation/3DMe/[3/24/2010 1:00:51 PM] Regenesis - 1011 Calle Sombra, San Clemente, CA 92673 - Ph: (949) 366-8000 Fax: (949)366-8090.

Designed specifically for clean rooms, isolation rooms, and other criti- cal environments, the Series 610 uses an improved all stainless steel micro-tig welded sensor to detect differential pressure and convert this pressure into a lin- ear DC electrical signal by a unique electrical circuit. This unit is ideal for situ- ations when accurate and reliable pressure monitoring is essential. Easy access pressure ports and electrical connections, removable process heads, and de- tachable terminal blocks make for fast and easy installation. The Series 610 transmitters are available for air pressure ranges as low as 0.1˝ W.C. full scale. Standard accuracy is ±0.25% full scale (terminal-based) in normal ambient tem- perature environments. The tensioned sensor allows up to 2 psi overpressure in either direction with absolutely no damage to the unit. The Series 610 trans- mitters can be ordered as either a base mount or a din rail mount and the op- tion of a digital read out display. In addition, a calibration key can be ordered that allows the user to set zero and span. One key will work on multiple trans- mitters.
