Dear Mr. Huson:

The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has received and
reviewed your November 8, 2006 Letter of Intent (LOI) submitted on behalf of John H Huson, as a Prospective
Developer (PD) seeking a brownfields agreement regarding the subject site. Upon review of the letters with
respect to the requirements of the Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997, DENR has determined that this
project is eligible for entry into the North Carolina Brownfields Program and for continued evaluation for a
brownfields agreement.

The next step in the process will involve a detailed review of available environmental and other relevant
data to determine what is currently known about contamination at the site, and what, if any, information gaps
may exist that may require additional assessment. We are in receipt of the following document submitted with
your LOI: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prepared by ECA Carolinas, LLP dated September 1, 2006.
Historical site information from the files of DENR’s Division of Waste Management will also be utilized during
the evaluation process. We will contact you regarding any additional assessment that may be necessary to
establish that the property is or can be made safe for the intended reuse, as required by statute.

According to the LOI, the intended redevelopment for the site is mixed use with commercial, office,
retail, and residential. Because risk management decisions may vary depending on the nature of the
redevelopment, it will be important that DENR review the locations of the various elements. Please forward
any maps or drawings indicating these details, even if they are only preliminary or conceptual. Based on the
LOI, no plans or drawing have been established to date. If and when they become available, please forward
them to my attention.

Finally, please apprise me within thirty (30) days whether you, John H. Husin, anticipate becoming
the owner of the property before or after conclusion of the brownfields process. If after, we need from you
within thirty (30) days the name, e-mail address and U.S. mail address of the current owner, so we may: 1)
e-mail a request for acknowledgment regarding recordation of the Notice of Brownfields Property (NBP) by
John H. Huson while that party still owns the property, 2) add to your signature block in the NBP a signature
block for that party, and 3) at the conclusion of the process, mail the NBP to that party for signing.

I am excited about the potential for public benefit offered by the safe reuse of the site, and I look
forward to working with you to advance this brownfields redevelopment project. If you have questions about
this correspondence or require additional information, please feel free to contact me by phone at [phone]
, or by e-mail at [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Carolyn Minnich
