Subject: Soil Transfer Approval- Tree Pit Soil Characterization Report
HD Supply and Big Bertha Service Station Brownfields Sites Charlotte, Mecklenburg County
Brownfields Project No. 19054-15-060 and 22021-18-060
Dear Mr. Lucarelli and Mr. Bortz:
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Brownfields Program received
a request to transfer approximately 600 cubic yards of soil from the HD Supply Street Brownfields Property (19054-15-060) to the Big Bertha Service Station Brownfields Property (22021-18-060). This request was submitted on your behalf by Mr. Nathan O’Leary of Hart & Hickman on March
21, 2019 via email.

DEQ Brownfields reviewed the analytical data available from the Big Bertha Service Station Brownfields Property. Then, we incorporated the analytical data representative of stockpiled samples to be imported from HD Supply (Tree Pit Soil Characterization Report dated April 4,
2019) into the February 2018 DEQ Risk Calculator for the receiving Big Bertha Service Station
Brownfields Property. The risk calculated at the Beg Bertha Service Station was not increased
by the addition of analytical data from HD Supply. In addition, DEQ found that the metals concentrations were similar between the two properties.
Per the HD Supply EMP, the soils will be field screened during excavation prior to export from
the property. If unanticipated impacts are identified during excavation, please refer to the EMP
for further actions and cease transfer until appropriate characterization can be completed. Both Brownfields Properties are required, as specified in their respective EMPs, to complete an
annual Redevelopment Summary Report. Details related to this soil transfer, including but not
limited to, total volume, general description of field screening efforts, etc. should be included with
each Property’s report.

Bertha Service Station Brownfields Property is approved by the DEQ Brownfields Program. Please be advised that this approval from DEQ Brownfields does not waive any applicable
requirement to obtain any necessary permits, licenses or certifications which may be required
from other state or local entities. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or
