(S&ME) is pleased to submit soil sampling results for the proposed baseball scoreboard project at the War Memorial Stadium located at 420 West Yanceyville Road, Greensboro, North Carolina. Our services were performed in general accordance with the Sampling Plan prepared by S&ME and dated January 12, 2018. Project Background The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Brownfields Program (NCDEQ) lists the War Memorial Stadium property as an Active Eligible Brownfield Project with ID # 20043-16-41. At this time the NC A&T State University's redevelopment plan details are conceptual and a Brownfields Agreement (BFA) has not been finalized. In 2016, an Environmental Management Plan was developed for the War Memorial Stadium project based on the conceptual plans for redevelopment. Currently, a new scoreboard is planned to be constructed south of and adjacent to the light tower beyond left field of War Memorial Stadium (Figure 1). The scoreboard has dimensions of 16 by 25 feet and will be supported on two columns spaced 15 feet apart. The columns will either be supported with individual drilled shafts or a single mat foundation. Based on preliminary conversations between Ms. Hayley Irick with NCDEQ and Edmund Henriques of S&ME, we understood that a limited Sampling Plan was needed for the proposed scoreboard project. A Sampling Plan date December 21, 2017, was submitted to NCDEQ. In an email to Edmund Henriques of S&ME dated January 12, 2018, Ms. Hayley Irick provided limited comments on the original Sampling Plan. The Sampling Plan, Revision 1 incorporated changes to address comments provided by the NCDEQ. Soil Assessment On January 25, 2018, an S&ME environmental professional was on site during performance of the geotechnical soil borings. Two soil borings, identified as B-1 and B-2, were drilled with hollow -stem augers to approximate depths of 20 feet below ground surface and at the locations shown on Figure 2. Split -spoon samples of subsurface soils were taken at approximate 2.5-foot intervals above a depth of 10 S&ME, Inc. 18646 West Market Street, Suite 105 1 Greensboro, NC 27409 1 p 336.288.7180 1 www.smeinc.com Soil Sampling Results Brownfield Project ID 20043-16-41 I Z Greensboro, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 4358-17-032 feet and at 5-foot intervals below 10 feet. Boring Logs describing observed subsurface conditions are attached. S&ME observed soil cuttings for potential indications of chemical impacts. No chemical odors or staining was observed in the soil cuttings or soil samples. A copy of the Environmental Field Report is attached. S&ME collected soil samples from each split -spoon sampling interval for field screening of volatile organic vapors and for laboratory analyses. Each soil sample was placed into sealable plastic bags and allowed to equilibrate to ambient conditions. The headspace of each bag sample was field screened using a photoionization detector (PID). Field screening did not detect any measurable concentration of volatile organic vapors in each sample. Based on the observation of apparent saturated conditions approximately four feet below ground surface in soil boring B-2, S&ME prepared the soil sample collected from 1.0 feet to 2.5 feet below ground surface in each soil boring for laboratory analysis. The collected grab soil samples were transferred into laboratory -provided containers. The sample containers were labeled and placed into a cooler with ice and delivered to the analytical laboratory under proper chain of custody. The soil samples were submitted for analysis by a North Carolina certified laboratory, for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by Method 8260, semi -volatile compounds (SVOCs) by Method 8270, and the 13 Priority Pollutant Metals by EPA Method 6010 and EPA Method 7471 (as total metals). Boreholes were observed for groundwater at completion of drilling. Groundwater was encountered in borings B-1 and B-2 at approximate depths of 8 feet and 5 feet below ground surface, respectively, two hours after the performance of the borings. Following collection of depth to water readings, the boreholes were backfilled with bentonite hole plug to the water level and then auger cuttings. Excess auger cuttings were stored in a 55-gallon metal drums and stored on -site pending disposal. Soil Analytical Results Analytical results were reviewed relative to the NCDEQ Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, Preliminary Site Remedial Goals (PSRG), updated October 2017. The following provides a brief summary of the analytical results for each soil sample. Table 1 provides a summary of the soil sample analytical results. A copy of the laboratory analytical report is attached. Soil Sample: B-1-2.5 Beryllium, Chromium, Lead, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc and Mercury were detected at concentrations greater than the reporting limit, but less than the lowest corresponding IHSB PSRGs. Target analytes were not detected by EPA Method 8260 or by EPA Method 8270. Soil Sample: B-2-2.5 Beryllium, Chromium, Lead, Nickel, Zinc and Mercury were detected at concentrations greater than the reporting limit, but less than the lowest corresponding IHSB PSRGs. Selenium was reported at a concentration greater than the corresponding IHSB Protection of Groundwater PSRG but less than the IHSB Residential Health PSRG and the IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRG. Anthracene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene, Chrysene, Fluoranthene, and Pyrene were detected at concentrations greater than the reporting limit, but less than the lowest corresponding IHSB PSRGs. February 14, 2018 =0 Soil Sampling Results Brownfield Project ID 20043-16-41 Greensboro, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 4358-17-032 Benzo(g,h,i)perylene and Phenanthrene were detected at concentrations greater than the reporting limit, but no PRSGs are provided. Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Dibenz(a,h)anthracene and Indeno(1,2,3- cd)pyrene were detected at concentrations greater than the IHSB Residential Health PSRG and the IHSB Protection of Groundwater PRSG, but less than the IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRG. Target analytes were not detected by EPA Method 8260. Analytical results for the soil sample obtained above groundwater at boring B-2, detected multiple SVOCs that are consistent with SVOCs historically detected in soil and groundwater near the main entrance to the stadium. By comparison, no SVOCs were detected in the soil from boring B-1, at a similar depth. Based on the analytes and concentrations detected at boring B-2, installation of foundations for the scoreboard will require proper management and disposal of excavated soil. If foundation(s) are to extend below the water table, proper management of groundwater would be appropriate. In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 hazardous waste operations and emergency response (HAZWOPER) rule for the protection of workers, we anticipated that construction workers which may come in contact with soil excavated for construction of the foundations would likely require HAZWOPER training and development of a site -specific health and safety plan (HASP). We recommend off -site disposal of the excess soil cuttings drummed and currently stored on site.
