Planters Oil Mill Site
1006 Cokey Road
Rocky Mount, Edgecombe County, NC
Brownfields Project Number 13019-09-33
Dear Ms. Olson:
The City of Rocky Mount as Prospective Developer has successfully completed cleanup activities on a portion of
the former Planters Oil Mill site at 1006 Cokey Road in Rocky Mount as reported in Brownfield's Cleanup Report,
Former Planters Oil Mill Property, Rocky Mount, NC (Hart & Hickman, September 30, 2011). This work was completed
in accordance with the Brownfield Agreement (BFA) negotiated between the North Carolina Department of the
Environmental and Natural Resources Division of Waste Management (DENR DWM) and the City of Rocky Mount for
the site.
The Notice of Brownfield Property (NBP), which includes the BFA and other documentation, was approved for
public comment on April 19, 2012. The public comment period ended on May 18, 2012. No public comments on this
project have been received by the State. We are preparing final documentation for signatures which will enable the City
of Rocky Mount to record these documents, including the site Brownfield survey plat, with the County of Edgecombe
Register of Deeds.
Cleanup activities were conducted on 4.5 acres of the 7.3 acres at the site. Cleanup consisted of the placement of
a minimum 12 inch thickness of clean, compacted fill to mitigate the risk of exposure to contaminated soil. The BFA
requires that the remaining 2.8 acres also be addressed in the same manner. It is our understanding that the City of Rocky
Mount will complete the site cleanup on the remaining acreage pending the receipt of additional funding. In the interim,

the initial 4.5 acres of the site are ready for redevelopment. As with any BFA, there are also continuing obligations to
annually report to DENR on site activities and to affirm that all required land use restrictions are in place and functioning.
Please let us know if you require any additional information. We enjoyed working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Sharon Poissant Eckard, PG
