Dear David:
As discussed, this letter follows up my telephone call to you on behalf of my client, Cormetech,
regarding Cormetech's emergency repair and soil disturbances at the Anvil Knitwear Site (the "Site").
Per the March 22, 2018 notice letter to Jim Rudder of the Brownfields Program, Cormetech, via merger,
is the current owner of the Site. As the new owner of the Site, Cormetech intends to be in compliance
with the land use restrictions in the Brownfields Agreement. This letter is to summarize events relating to
land use restriction 4 concerning soil disturbances ("LUR 4") in the Notice of Brownfields for the Site.
Emergency Repair of Water Line and Replacement of Fire Hydrants in 2018
In the last few months of 2018, Cormetech had to make an emergency repair to a fire suppression
line and replaced three fire hydrants. Between 10/24/18 through 10/31/18, it was discovered the water
line feeding the fire system behind the Phoenix Building was leaking water to the surface. The water line
had to be repaired immediately to support fire protection. According to the maintenance department, the
line had to be replaced which resulted in temporarily removing soil to a depth of 4 to 5 ft along an area 45
ft long by 5 ft wide. All soil was replaced. No excavated soil was removed from the Site or relocated on
Site. The area of this emergency repair is marked as "B" on the attached Brownfields Survey Plat.
Additionally, Cormetech recently had three fire hydrants replaced at the end of November, early
December, 2018. As stated in the attached summary from the contractor that performed this work, the
fire hydrants were buried 3.5 to 4 feet in depth, and all soils were reused as backfill for the new fire
hydrants. The contractor included a diagram of the location of the fire hydrants.

Emergency Repair of Water Line in December 2017
Cormetech also wanted to make DEQ aware of another emergency repair at the Site that
occurred in December 2017, a few months before STEAG Energy Services (the prior property owner)
was formally merged into Cormetech on March 1, 2018. On December 10, 2017, a water line for fire
suppression burst. Again, according to the maintenance department, this water line needed to be
immediately repaired to provide water pressure to the fire system and to stop the water from washing out
soil under the concrete. The maintenance department reports that to access and replace the pipe, soil
was temporarily removed to a depth of approximately 8 to 10 ft deep, along a 17 ft by 22 ft area. Again,
the soil was replaced and no excavated soil was removed from the Site or relocated on Site. The area of
this emergency repair is marked as "A" on the attached Brownfields Survey Plat.
While all three of these events involved disturbing soil, the information in the Brownfields file and
the Brownfields Agreement show that accessing the soil during these events posed no risk. The
Brownfields Agreement in paragraph 6.b. states that the one soil contaminant found on Site, Arsenic, was
below the residential risk-based standard and is "therefore not a concern at the Property." The sample
for the Arsenic is also located in an area away from, and to the south of, the described work. No other
soil impacts are reported for this Site. Further, no soil was removed from the Site, or relocated on the
Site. Moreover, the December 12, 2013 Brownfields' decision memo observes that because no soil
impacts have been reported at the Site, the likelihood of exposure is very low. Finally, groundwater was
documented in the 2013 Hart & Hickman report between 18.9 ft and 21.07 ft below ground surface and
thus would not have been encountered during this work.
Cormetech has worked with its maintenance department to put into place procedures to address
this particular LUR 4 in the future.
Based on the language in the Brownfields Agreement and the decision memorandum concerning
the low risk of soil exposure at the Site, and considering the facts surrounding the repairs, Cormetech
requests that DEQ approve the described work with no further work required. To that end, Cormetech
proposes to complete the LUR 4 for 2018 as follows:
LUR 4.-No activity that disturbs soil on the Property may occur unless and until
DENR states in writing, in advance of the proposed activity, that said activity may occur
if carried out along with any measures DENR deems necessary to ensure the Property
will be suitable for the uses specified in LUR I above while fully protecting public health
and the environment, except in connection with, mowing and pruning of above-ground
vegetation, landscape plantings that do not exceed 18 inches in depth; and,for
emergency repair of underground infrastructure,provided that DENR shall be given
written notice (if only by email) of any such emergency repair no later than the next
business day, and that any related assessment and remedial measures required by DENR
shall be taken.

Remarks: Cormetech makes this certification upon best information and belief
after reasonable investigation, and approval from the DEQ concerning emergency
repairs of water lines and the replacement of fire hydrants as explained further in
Cormetech's letter to DEQ dated January 16, 2019.
After you have a chance to review, please let me know if you need any additional information.
Also, Cormetech requests an extension of time to submit its land use restriction update for 2018 while
these discussions are pending.
Thank you for your assistance.

Cormetech Fire Hydrant Replacement
To whom it may concern:
Performance fire excavated three existing fire hydrants that were buried 3.5 to 4 ft. in depth,
removed hydrants from existing water line and install three new fire hydrants. All spoils that
was excavated was reused as backfill and compacted back to original grade. No spoils was
removed from cormetech's property.
