Dear Nick:
1.0 Introduction
Per your request, Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) has prepared this work plan to conduct
Brownfields assessment activities at the former Ideal Tool & Die Brownfields property located
at 3021 and 3029 Bank Street in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Site or subject
Site). A Site location map is provided as Figure 1.
The property is comprised of two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 0.5 acres of land
developed with two light industrial warehouse buildings. Between 1957 and 1974, the Site
buildings were utilized for fabric and rug manufacturing, heating and air conditioning sales and
repair, metal finishing, and warehousing. In 1974, Ideal Tool & Die Company began operations
in the facility which included machining, tooling, die casting, and molding activities. Ideal Tool
& Die Company operations ceased in 2017 and the building is currently unoccupied.

The Site received a letter of eligibility for entry into the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Brownfields Program on July 13, 2017 (Brownfields Project
No. 21031-17-060). Preliminary Site redevelopment plans indicate that the exiting Site
buildings will be renovated to include multi-tenant commercial businesses. On September 19,
2017, a kick-off meeting was held with DEQ Brownfields personnel to discuss historical uses at
the Site, previous assessment activities, and data gaps associated with current conditions at the
Site in preparation for the proposed redevelopment.
This work plan describes proposed assessment activities to address data gaps identified during
the September 2017 kick-off meeting. A summary of previous assessment activities completed
at the Site is provided in Section 2.0, and the proposed Brownfields soil assessment and vapor
intrusion assessment activities are provided in Section 3.0.
2.0 Background
In April 2017 HRP Associates, Inc (HRP) completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
(ESA) report for the Site, and in May 2017 HRP completed Phase II ESA activities at the Site.
A brief summary of the Phase I and II ESA findings is provided below. Based on review of the
April 2017 HRP Phase I ESA, the following Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) were
identified in connection with the Site:
historical use of oils and coolants associated with tooling and die fabrication and metal
finishing at the Site
the potential for impact from the Piedmont Heat Treating facility located adjacent and
topographically upgradient of the Site
the potential for impact from the Soft Touch Auto Appearance Center located adjacent
and topographically upgradient of the Site

Work Plan\Ideal Tool & Die Co (BPN 21031-17-060)_Brownfields Assessment Work Plan_20171101.doc
In May 2017, HRP conducted Phase II ESA soil and groundwater assessment activities at the
Site to evaluate subsurface conditions for potential impacts associated with the identified RECs.
The assessment activities included collection of five (5) soil samples from seven (7) soil boring
locations and three (3) groundwater samples in areas of potential concern at the Site. The soil
and groundwater samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) by EPA Method 8260, semi-VOCs (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270, polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) by EPA Method 8082, and Priority Pollutant List (PPL) metals by EPA
Method 6010/7471.
Laboratory analytical results for the soil samples indicated that trace levels of the VOCs acetone
(up to 0.409 J mg/kg) and toluene (up to 0.0078 mg/kg) were detected in all five soil samples.
Additionally, trace levels of methylene chloride (up to 0.0067 J mg/kg) were detected in two of
the five soil samples at concentrations well below the DEQ Inactive Hazardous Site Branch
(IHSB) Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs). HRP inaccurately reports a toluene
detection in soil sample SB-4 as 7.8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) which exceeds the DEQ
IHSB PSRG for the Protection of Groundwater of 5.5 mg/kg. However, the toluene
concentration in the laboratory analytical report is reported as 7.8 micrograms per kilogram
(µg/kg) or 0.0078 mg/kg. A conversion from micrograms per kilogram to milligrams per
kilogram is needed for comparison to the IHSB PSRG of 5.5 mg/kg. No VOC concentrations
detected in soil samples collected during HRP Phase II ESA activities exceed the IHSB PSRGs.
No SVOCs or PCBs were detected above the laboratory reporting limits in any of the soil
samples. Several metals were detected above the laboratory reporting limits in all five soil
samples. However, the metals concentrations appear to be consistent with naturally occurring
levels in North Carolina soil. Based on results of the HRP soil assessment, no potential soil
impacts at the Site have been identified.

Laboratory analytical results for the three groundwater samples collected during Phase II ESA
activities indicate that several VOCs were detected above the laboratory reporting limits in all
three samples. Of the compounds detected, low levels of tetrachloroethene (PCE) (up to 8.5
µg/L) and trichloroethene (TCE) (up to 13.0 µg/L) were detected above the North Carolina (NC)
2L Groundwater Standard of 0.7 µg/L and 3 µg/L, respectively in all three samples. The TCE
concentrations also exceed the DEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) Non-Residential
Groundwater Vapor Intrusion Screening Level (GWSL) of 4.35 µg/L in all three groundwater
samples. 1,2-Dichloropropane (up to 1.3 µg/L) was detected at concentrations exceeding the NC
2L Groundwater Standard of 0.6 µg/L in two of the three groundwater samples (TMW-4 and
TWM-7) and carbon tetrachloride (12.0 µg/L) was detected above the NC 2L Groundwater
Standard of 0.3 µg/L and the DWM Residential GWSL of 4.15 µg/L in one of the three
groundwater samples (TMW-7).
HRP inaccurately reports that no SVOC concentrations were detected in the groundwater
samples. However, several SVOCs were detected above the laboratory method detection limit,
but below the laboratory reporting limit and are estimated “J-flag” concentrations. Of the
SVOCs detected in the groundwater samples, benzo(a)anthracene (0.86 J µg/L) was detected at a
concentration exceeding the NC 2L Groundwater Standard of 0.05 µg/L in one of the three
groundwater samples (TMW-4). No other SVOC concentrations exceeded groundwater
screening levels. No PCBs were detected above laboratory reporting limits in any groundwater
sample.
Several metals were detected in all three groundwater samples at concentrations above
laboratory reporting limits. Of the metals detected, iron (up to 5,450 µg/L) was detected at
concentrations exceeding the NC 2L Groundwater Standard of 300 µg/L in all three samples.
Chromium (12.8 µg/L) was detected in TWM-4 at a concentration slightly exceeding the 2L
Standard of 10 µg/L. According to information provided on the HRP groundwater sampling
forms, turbidity was not measured during the sampling process. Visual observations of the water
recorded by the HRP sampling personnel indicate that turbidity ranged from “heavy” to “low”.

Work Plan\Ideal Tool & Die Co (BPN 21031-17-060)_Brownfields Assessment Work Plan_20171101.doc
Turbidity measurements exceeding 10 nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) can significantly
increase metals concentrations in groundwater samples. Because turbidity was not measured
during the sampling process, it is difficult to definitively determine whether metal impacts
reported in groundwater by HRP are a significant concern at the Site.
Based on review of the preliminary Site redevelopment plan, soft-scape landscaping is proposed
near the western Site boundary along Bank Street. As previously noted, no soil impacts were
identified in this portion of the Site during the HRP Phase II ESA activities. However, the HRP
Phase II ESA soil samples were collected from deeper depths and surficial soil conditions where
landscaping is proposed is unknown. In addition, VOCs were detected in Site groundwater at
concentrations exceeding the DEQ DWM GWSLs, but no vapor intrusion assessments have been
completed at the Site.
This work plan describes proposed shallow soil assessment activities at the Site in areas where
proposed landscaping will be installed as part of the proposed redevelopment, and proposed
vapor intrusion assessment activities inside the Site buildings to evaluate the potential for
structural vapor intrusion from low level chlorinated solvent impacts identified in Site
groundwater. The proposed scope of work for Brownfields assessment activities is summarized
in Section 3.0 below.
3.0 Brownfields Assessment Scope of Work
The proposed Brownfields assessment activities will be performed in general accordance with
DEQ’s IHSB Guidelines for Assessment and Cleanup (Guidelines) dated October 2015, DEQ’s
DMW Vapor Intrusion Guidance dated April 2014, and most recent versions of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IV Science and Ecosystem Support (SESD)
Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures guidance.

locator, to mark subsurface utilities located on the Site. H&H will also team with a private
utility contractor to screen for utilities at the Site and inside the Site buildings which may not be
identified by the public utility locator. Additionally, each soil boring will be hand cleared to
approximately 5 feet (ft) below the ground surface (bgs) to further screen for the presence of
subsurface utilities.
3.1 Soil Assessment Activities
H&H proposes to conduct soil assessment activities in the locations of planned curb-side
landscaping areas along Bank Street and in the grassy area along Foster Avenue. Previous soil
samples collected at the Site by others were from deeper depth intervals than would not be
representative of soil disturbed during installation of the proposed green areas along Bank Street
and the proposed paved areas on Foster Avenue. The proposed soil sample locations (denoted
by SB nomenclature) are depicted on Figure 2, and will be collected in the following locations:
Soil samples SB-1 through SB-3 will be collected from shallow soil near the Site
boundary along Bank Street; and
Soil sample SB-4 will be collected from shallow soil in the grassy area located southwest
of the Site buildings along Foster Avenue.
Soil sample locations on the northwestern side of the Site building (Bank Street side) are located
in asphalt or concrete covered parking areas. Prior to advancing the soil borings in these
locations, H&H will utilize a concrete coring machine, hammer drill, or similar tool to penetrate
the impervious cover to access underlying soil. Each proposed soil boring will be advanced to a
depth of approximately 5 ft bgs utilizing a decontaminated stainless steel hand auger. During
boring advancement, continuous soil samples will be collected from the center of the hand auger
bucket. Soil samples will be inspected for the presence of visual and olfactory indication of
impact, and screened for the presence of volatile organic vapors with a calibrated
photoionization detector (PID). Based upon results of field screening, one soil sample will be

Work Plan\Ideal Tool & Die Co (BPN 21031-17-060)_Brownfields Assessment Work Plan_20171101.doc
collected from each soil boring for laboratory analysis from shallow soil (1-2 ft or 2-3 ft bgs).
Following sample collection, the soil samples will be placed directly into dedicated laboratory-
supplied sample containers, labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis,
and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler with ice. The samples will be delivered to a North
Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of VOCs by
EPA Method 8260, SVOCs by EPA Method 8270, PCBs by EPA Method 8082, and Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals plus hexavalent chromium by EPA Methods
6020/7471/7196. In addition, H&H will collect soil samples for PCB Congeners by EPA
Method 1668, and request that the laboratory hold the samples pending analytical results for
samples analyzed for PCBs by EPA Method 8082. If PCBs are detected at concentrations
exceeding the high risk PSRG in soil samples using EPA Method 8082, H&H will contact DEQ
to discuss analyzing that sample for congener-specific analysis.
To evaluate the reproducibility of the sample results, H&H will collect one duplicate soil sample
from the proposed samples that will be submitted for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260,
SVOCs by EPA Method 8270, PCBs by EPA Method 8082, and RCRA metals plus hexavalent
chromium by EPA Method 6020/7471/7196. Please refer to Section 3.4 below for additional
laboratory quality assurance/quality control procedures and reporting limit information.
Following sampling activities, the soil sample borings will be properly abandoned and the
surfaces will be repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions. Additionally, the soil sample
locations will be estimated using a sub-meter global positioning system (GPS) unit.
3.2 Vapor Intrusion Assessment Activities
Results of analysis of previous groundwater samples collected at the Site by others indicate that
trichloroethene (TCE) concentrations were detected above the DEQ DWM Non-Residential
GWSLs. To evaluate the potential for structural vapor intrusion into the existing Site buildings,

Work Plan\Ideal Tool & Die Co (BPN 21031-17-060)_Brownfields Assessment Work Plan_20171101.doc
H&H proposes to collect five concurrent and co-located sub-slab vapor and indoor air samples
inside the Ideal Tool & Die Site buildings. The proposed co-located sub-slab and indoor air
sample locations (denoted by SSV and IAQ nomenclature, respectively) are depicted on Figure
2, and include the following areas:
Building 1 - northwestern portion of the northern Site building (SSV-1/IAQ-1)
Building 1 - eastern portion of the northern Site building (SSV-2/IAQ-2)
Building 1 - southern portion of the northern Site building (SSV-3/IAQ-3)
Building 2 - northern portion of the southern Site building (SSV-4/IAQ-4)
Building 2 - southern portion of the southern Site building (SSV-5/IAQ-5)
In addition, one exterior background air sample will be collected from an upwind location
outside of the Site buildings during the indoor air sampling event. The location of the outdoor
background sample will be determined on the day of the sampling based upon the prevailing
wind direction on that day. One duplicate sub-slab vapor sample and one duplicate indoor air
sample will also be collected from one of the proposed interior locations.
3.2.1 Sub-Slab Vapor Point Installation
H&H will drill through the concrete floor at each sample location using a rotary hammer drill
and 1-inch diameter drill bit to advance a bore hole through the concrete slab. The borings will
be advanced to approximately 4 inches beneath the slab into the underlying soil to penetrate
potential vapor barriers beneath the concrete slab. A dedicated AMS gas vapor tip connected to
Teflon tubing that extends to the surface will be seated in the base of the boring. A sand filter
pack will then be placed from the base of boring to base of the concrete slab to cover the gas
vapor tip. The sample points will be completed by placing a hydrated bentonite seal from the top
of the sand filter pack to the surface.

Work Plan\Ideal Tool & Die Co (BPN 21031-17-060)_Brownfields Assessment Work Plan_20171101.doc
Following installation and prior to collection of the sub-slab vapor samples, a leak check will be
conducted at each sample location by constructing a shroud around the sampling point and
flooding the air within the shroud with helium gas. Helium concentrations inside the shroud will
be measured using a helium gas detector. Using a syringe and three-way valve, the Teflon
tubing and surrounding sand pack will be purged of approximately three volumes. Following
purging, a sample will be collected from the sample tubing outside the shroud and analyzed
using the helium gas detector to ensure that helium concentrations are less than 10% of the
helium concentrations in the shroud.
Following a successful leak check, a laboratory-supplied 6-liter stainless steel Summa sample
canister connected to in-line flow controllers with a vacuum gauge. The flow controller will be
connected to the sample tubing at each sampling point using a brass nut and ferrule assembly to
form an air-tight seal. The flow regulator will be pre-set by the laboratory to regulate the vapor
intake rate to 6-liters per hour. Once the sample train is assembled, the intake valve on the
canister will be fully opened to begin collection of the SSV sample. Vacuum readings on the
Summa canister will be recorded prior to and following the one-hour sampling period to ensure
adequate sample volume was collected. A vacuum will be maintained within the canisters at the
conclusion of the sampling event.
After sample collection, the Summa canister’s valve will be closed, and the regulator will be
disconnected from the canister. The canisters will be placed in laboratory supplied shipping
containers, properly labeled and shipped under standard chain-of-custody protocols to a qualified
laboratory for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method TO-15. The laboratory will be requested to use
reporting limits that are below DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion Sub-slab and
Exterior Soil Gas Screening Levels (SGSLs).
Upon completion of sampling activities, each SSV boring will be abandoned and the surfaces
were repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions. Each SSV location will be estimated by
measuring from known benchmarks (e.g. doorways, walls, etc.).

3.2.2 Indoor Air Sampling Methodology
In order to collect the indoor air samples under conservative conditions, the samples will be
collected with the windows of the buildings closed and ingress and egress activities minimized.
Because the Site buildings are unoccupied, it is anticipated that the samples will be collected
while the HVAC systems are off.
The background and indoor air samples will be collected using 6-liter stainless steel Summa
sample canisters connected to in-line flow controllers with a vacuum gauge. The flow
controllers will be set so that the samples are collected over an 8-hour period. A 3-foot long
sampling cane will be connected to the flow controller so that the sample intake point is
positioned approximately 5 ft above grade (typical breathing zone height) when the sample
canister is set on its base.
During the sampling activities, indoor/outdoor air pressure differential will be measured near the
start, middle, and end of the 8-hour sampling period using a manometer sensitive to 0.001 inches
of water. In addition, exterior wind speed, exterior wind direction, indoor/outdoor temperature,
and precipitation (if any) will be recorded near the start, middle, and end of the sampling period.
For quality assurance purposes, H&H personnel will be on-Site monitoring the sample canisters
to prevent tampering or damages for the duration of the sampling event. A vacuum will be
maintained within the canisters at the conclusion of the sampling event.
Prior to and after the indoor and background air samples are collected, vacuum in the canisters
will be measured using a laboratory-supplied vacuum gauge and recorded by sampling
personnel. The starting and ending vacuum in each canister will be recorded on the sample
chain-of-custody. The sample canisters will then be labeled and shipped under standard chain-
of-custody procedures to a qualified laboratory for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method TO-15.
The laboratory will be requested to use reporting limits that are below DEQ DWM Non-
Residential Vapor Intrusion Indoor Air Screening Levels (IASLs).

Work Plan\Ideal Tool & Die Co (BPN 21031-17-060)_Brownfields Assessment Work Plan_20171101.doc
Prior to issuance of the laboratory analytical report documenting results of the proposed vapor
intrusion assessment activities, the laboratory will be instructed to review laboratory analytical
results for the sub-slab vapor samples and identify compounds detected above the laboratory
reporting limits. To evaluate the potential for a completed vapor intrusion pathway into the Site
buildings, only those compounds detected above laboratory reporting limits in sub-slab vapor
will be reported for the indoor air samples.
3.3 Quality Assurance – Quality Control
Non-dedicated equipment and tools will be decontaminated prior to use at each boring or
sampling location, or following exposure to soil or groundwater.
Laboratory QA/QC procedures will be employed to ensure appropriate sample handling and
analysis and to aid in the review and validation of the analytical data. QA/QC procedures will be
conducted in accordance with the method protocols and will include regular equipment
maintenance, equipment calibrations, and adherence to specific sample custody and data
management procedures. Samples will be analyzed in conjunction with appropriate blanks,
laboratory duplicates, continuing calibration standards, surrogate standards, and matrix spiking
standards in accordance with approved methodologies to monitor both instrument and analyst
performance. Laboratory reporting limits for each analyte will be at or below appropriate
screening criteria, where possible. Additionally, H&H will request that the laboratory include
estimated concentrations for compounds that are detected at levels above the laboratory method
detection limit but below the laboratory reporting limit.
A hard-copy of the laboratory analytical data report and QA package for each group of samples
submitted to and analyzed by the subcontracted laboratory will be provided in an appendix to the
final report. Laboratory QA data consistent with Level II documentation will be requested for
this project. A copy of the completed chain-of-custody record and shipping receipt will be
appended to the corresponding laboratory analytical report included with the final report.
