Charlotte, North Carolina
H&H Job No. BOU-013
1.0 Executive Summary
Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) has performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at
the commercial property located at 3631 Tryclan Drive in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina (Site or subject Site). A Site location map is provided as Figure 1 and the Site and
surrounding area are shown on Figure 2.
The Phase I ESA was conducted in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice
E 1527-13. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in this report.
1.1 Site and Nearby Area Summary
H&H has provided a brief summary of the current and former uses of the Site and nearby area
below:
Site
The subject Site is comprised of one approximately 1.45-acre parcel of land. The Site is developed
with one approximately 16,000 sq ft building constructed in the late 1960s and is currently
occupied by Molinas Auto Repair & Body Shop and B&I Auto Machine. Remaining portions of
the Site are concrete, asphalt, or landscaped.
Historically, the subject Site was undeveloped wooded land prior to 1938 until the 1960s when the
Site was cleared and graded for development. The Site building was subsequently constructed in
1968. The Site was initially occupied by Canteen Corporation which operated a vending machine
business through the late 1980s. Battery & Ignition Distributors, Inc. subsequently purchased the
Site and has operated an automotive parts retail and engine repair business since that time. Since
1 hart' hickman
S:\AAA-MasterProjects\Boulevard Realty Estate Advisors (BOU)\BOU-013 3631 Tryclan Street\Phase I ESA 3631 Tryclan Street njo.docx
SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

the early to mid-2000s, Battery & Ignition Distributors, Inc. has leased the southern portion of the
Site building to various businesses for automotive service and body repair activities.
Nearby Area
Currently, properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject Site are used for, retail, fitness,
residential, industrial, and commercial office purposes.
Historically, the general Site area was undeveloped or was used for agricultural purposes prior to
1938. Residential development to the south of the Site and commercial development to the east
of the Site along South Boulevard generally began in the early to mid-1940s. Commercial
development to the west and east of the Site continued through the late 1990s to early 2000s.
Commercial development immediately to the north of the Site began in the mid to late 1960s when
Tryclan Drive was constructed and continued through the late 1980s to early 1990s. Residential
development to the south of the Site continued through the late 1990s. Currently, properties in the
immediate vicinity of the subject Site are used for, retail, fitness, residential, automotive repair,
and commercial office purposes.
1.2 Findings, Opinions, and Conclusions
The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) in
connection with the property. RECs are environmental conditions that include the presence or
likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products on the property that indicate an
existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release in structures on the property, or into
the ground, groundwater, or surface water on the property. The ASTM standard also defines a
subset of RECs termed a Historical Recognized Environmental Condition (HREC) and a
Controlled Recognized Environmental Condition (CREC). A HREC is defined as a REC which
involves a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to
the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority and that is not subject to activity and/or use
limitations. A CREC is defined as a REC which involves a past release of hazardous substances
or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory
authority and that is subject to activity and/or use limitations.

SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

Our findings regarding RECs are based upon our review of historical records and maps; review of
regulatory database records and/or regulatory agency files; interviews with persons familiar with
the Site; observations during the Site reconnaissance; and data evaluation. Based upon our
completion of Phase I ESA activities, H&H has determined the following:
We have performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope
and limitations of ASTM Practice E1527-13 on the Site located at 3613 Tryclan Drive in
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this
practice are described in Section 2.0 of this report. This assessment has revealed no evidence
of RECs in connection with the Site except for the following:
• Canteen Corporation previously owned the Site and is listed on the Underground Storage
Tank (UST) and Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) databases. The UST
database indicates that an 8,000-gallon UST was installed by Canteen Corporation in 1969
and was subsequently removed in 1989. The LUST database indicates that a release
incident was reported when impacted soil was encountered during the removal of the
8,000-gallon diesel UST. The Canteen Corporation LUST incident remains open and has
not received regulatory closure.
H&H completed a regulatory file review to obtain additional documents related to the
Canteen Corporation LUST incident (Incident No. 6923). Files related to the release
incident were not available from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ). However, during our file review, H&H obtained a bulleted summary for a release
incident on the American Fence facility previously located on the adjacent property to the
west. The summary for the American Fence release incident also included a brief summary
of the Canteen Corporation LUST incident which indicated that benzene was detected in
groundwater at the Site at concentrations up to 200 µg/l. Additionally, a figure included
in a Phase I Limited Site Assessment (LSA) report for the American Fence release incident
indicated the presence of benzene and xylenes at concentrations up to 360 µg/l and xylenes
up to 3,300 µg/l, respectively in groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells on
3 hart' hickman
S:\AAA-MasterProjects\Boulevard Realty Estate Advisors (BOU)\BOU-013 3631 Tryclan Street\Phase I ESA 3631 Tryclan Street njo.docx
SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

the subject Site. Based on the open status of the release incident and the potential presence
of elevated concentrations of benzene and xylenes in groundwater, H&H considers the
Canteen Corporation LUST incident at the Site to be a REC.
• Since the late 1980s, the subject Site has been used for engine repair and retail sale of
automotive parts. Beginning in the early 2000s, the southern portion of the Site building
has been leased for automotive service and body repair activities. During our Site visit,
H&H observed parts washers in the area of the engine repair activities, floor drains in the
southern portion of the Site building where automotive repair activities are completed, an
automotive paint booth, various containers of automotive fluids, and used oil aboveground
storage tanks (ASTs) along the south side of the Site building. H&H observed staining to
the ground surface in the vicinity of the ASTs and in various locations throughout the Site
building where engine and automotive repair activities are completed. Based on duration,
chemical usage, the presence of staining to ground surface, and the presence of floor drains,
H&H considers the use of the Site for engine repair, automotive service activities, and
automotive body repair operations to be a REC.
H&H identified the following potential environmental concern in connection with the Site which,
based on our evaluation, is not considered to be a REC.
• During our Site reconnaissance, the current Site owner indicated that a large drainage gully
was historically located along the southern Site boundary to the south of the current fence
line. The Site owner indicated the owner of the former American Fence property located
adjacent to the west and south of the subject Site filled the gully and subsequently used the
area (including portions of the subject Site) for storage purposes. The Site owner indicated
that he is not certain of the source of the soil used to fill the gully. However, he indicated
it was possible that it came from an excavation on the American Fence property adjacent
to the west. During our Site visit, H&H did not observe staining, fill material, or other
indications of potential concern associated the former gully. Based on the lack of staining
or other indications of potential impact, H&H does not consider the former gully to be a
REC.

• During our Site visit, H&H observed significant debris in the southern portion of the Site
including old car, car parts, and tires. Additionally, H&H observed a 55-gallon drum with
unknown contents in the debris. The debris generally appeared to be inert and H&H did
not observe significant staining to ground surface, stressed vegetation, or other indications
significant environmental concerns in the vicinity of the debris. As such, H&H does not
consider the debris on the southern portion of the Site to be a REC.
• H&H reviewed the Brownfields Assessment Report prepared for the Yorkshire Drive
Brownfields property located adjacent to the west and southwest and downgradient of the
subject Site. Analytical results of groundwater samples collected during the Brownfields
assessment activities indicated the presence of vinyl chloride, cis-1,2-DCE, and
naphthalene in groundwater at concentrations above the North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) 2L Groundwater Standards (2L Groundwater Standards) and 1-
methylnaphthalene at a concentration above the Interim Maximum Allowable
Concentration (IMAC). Based on area topography and because impacts are being managed
with regulatory oversight, H&H does not consider the Yorkshire Brownfields property to
be a REC.

2.0 Introduction
This report presents the results of Phase I ESA activities conducted at the industrial property
located at 3631 Tryclan Drive in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. H&H
conducted this assessment for Boulevard Real Estate Advisors (Boulevard) in accordance with our
authorized scope of work.
2.1 Purpose and Scope of Services
The purpose of this assessment was to identify, to the extent feasible pursuant to the processes
prescribed herein, recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. Such
environmental conditions include the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or
petroleum products in, on, or at the Site: (1) due to release to the environment; (2) under conditions
indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a
future release to the environment. `Release' shall have the same meaning as the definition of
`release' as defined in CERCLA 42 U.S.C. § 9601(22) and `environment' shall have the same
meaning as the definition of `environment' as defined in CERCLA 42 U.S.C.§ 9601(8). In this
assessment, `migrate' and `migration' refers to the movement of hazardous substances or
petroleum products in any form, including, for example, solid and liquid at the surface or
subsurface, and vapor in the subsurface.
2.2 Methodology
H&H performed this Phase I ESA in general conformance with current ASTM Standard E 1527-
13, Standard Practice for ESAs: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. The Phase I
ESA is also compliant with the statutory criteria for all appropriate inquiries currently accepted by

The Site is generally flat and slopes slightly to the southwest towards an unnamed tributary of
Irwin Creek. The topography in the general area of the Site slopes to the south-southwest. A copy
of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangle map is provided as
Figure 1.
Geology
The subject Site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. The area
land surface is generally characterized as gently sloping, which may become moderately steep
where intersected by streams.
According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina dated 1985, the subject Site lies within the
Charlotte Belt of the Piedmont. In the Site area, underlying bedrock is comprised of
metamorphosed quartz diorite. In the Piedmont, the bedrock is overlain by a mantle of weathered
rock termed saprolite or residuum. The saprolite consists of unconsolidated clay, silt, and sand
with lesser amounts of rock fragments. Due to the range of parent rock types and their variable
susceptibility to weathering, the saprolite ranges widely in color, texture, and thickness. Generally,
the saprolite is thickest near interstream divides and thins toward streambeds. In profile, the
saprolite normally grades from clayey soils near the land surface to highly weathered rock above
the competent bedrock.
Hydrogeology
The occurrence and movement of groundwater in the Piedmont is typically within two separate
but interconnected water -bearing zones. A shallow water -bearing zone occurs within the saprolite,
and a deeper water -bearing zone within the underlying bedrock.
Groundwater in the shallow saprolite zone occurs in the interstitial pore spaces between the grains
comprising the saprolite soils and in the deeper fractures in the partially weathered rock horizon.
Groundwater in this zone is typically under water table or unconfined conditions. Groundwater
movement is generally horizontal from recharge areas to small streams that serve as localized
discharge points.

4.0 Records Review
4.1 Standard Environmental Record Sources — Federal, State and Local
H&H used Environmental Risk Information Services (ERIS), an environmental database search
service, for a cursory review of Federal and State regulatory database files regarding regulated
facilities within the ASTM-specified search radii. Federal, state, local, and tribal databases were
searched by ERIS on June 5, 2019. The ERIS report is included in Appendix B.
Upon our review of the ERIS report, H&H identified and summarized the following information
pertaining to the Site, off -site properties, and unmappable orphan properties.
Subject Site
Canteen Corporation/Canteen Food Services (3631 Tryclan Drive) is listed on the Facility
Registry Service/Facility Index (FINDS/FRS), UST and LUST databases. As part of former Site
operations, one 8,000-gallon gasoline UST was installed in 1969. During removal activities in
1989, a release incident was reported (Incident No. 6923) when impacted soil was encountered.
Subsequent groundwater assessment activities indicated the presence of benzene and xylenes in
Site groundwater. This release incident has not received regulatory closure. This incident is
further discussed in Section 4.2.
Off -Site Properties
The following off -site database listings were identified in the vicinity of the Site and warrant
further discussion due to their proximity to the subject Site:
• Industrial Maintenance Corp. (3520 Tryclan Drive) is located approximately 100 ft to the
northwest across Tryclan Drive and topographically upgradient to the Site. The property
is listed on the Toxics Release Inventory Program (TRIS) database. According to the
database listing, the facility submitted reports in 1987 and 1988 indicating that 250 pounds
of sodium hydroxide was emitted to the atmosphere on an annual basis. No release
incidents were reported. Based on the lack of release incidents and the time period since
12 hart' hickman
S:\AAA-MasterProjects\Boulevard Realty Estate Advisors (BOU)\BOU-013 3631 Tryclan Street\Phase I ESA 3631 Tryclan Street njo.docx
SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

submittal of the most recent TRIS report, the potential for impact to the subject Site appears
to be low.
• Miracle's Cleaners/Pure Clean/R&R Cleaners (3601 and 3603 South Tryon Street) is
located adjacent to the southwest and topographically downgradient of the subject Site.
The facility was identified on the Delisted Drycleaners database as Miracle's Cleaners
(Facility ID 600005C), the federal drycleaners and Resource Conservation Recovery Act
(RCRA) Non -generator databases as Pure Clean, and on the Dry-cleaning Solvent Cleanup
Act (DSCA) database as R&R Cleaners. The RCRA non -generator listing indicates the
facility previously generated tetrachloroethene (PCE [D039]), trichloroethene (TCE
[D040]), and spent halogenated solvents (F002) hazardous waste. The facility has
subsequently been accepted into the Brownfields Program as part of the Yorkshire Drive
Brownfields Property (No. 22033-18-060), discussed below.
• American Fence Solvents (3605 South Tryon Street) is listed on the North Carolina State
Hazardous Waste Sites (SHWS), Leaking Aboveground Storage Tank (LAST), LUST,
Incident Management Database (IMD), databases. The LAST database indicates a release
incident (Incident No. 85958) was reported in relation to impacted groundwater
encountered during a Phase II ESA completed at the facility. The LAST database indicates
that PCE was detected at concentrations up to 10 µg/l. Additionally, several petroleum
related compounds were reportedly detected in groundwater. The database indicates that
the source of PCE and petroleum compounds could be from on -Site ASTs, a former on -
Site UST, or off -Site sources.
The LUST database indicates that a release incident (Incident No. 27713) was reported in
October 2001. Impacts to soil and groundwater were discovered during assessment
activities at the Site in 2001 and are potentially related to a former UST removed from the
Site in 1986. The LUST database indicates that a Notice of Residual Petroleum (NORP)
was needed for incident closure. The LUST incident was reportedly closed in August 2004.
The facility has subsequently been accepted into the Brownfields Program as part of the
Yorkshire Drive Brownfields Property (No. 22033-18-060), discussed below.

• R&R Cleaners (3603 South Tryon Street) is located adjacent to the southwest and
downgradient of the Site. The property is listed on the Dry -Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Act
(DSCA) Drycleaners database as Site DC600073. The facility has subsequently been
accepted into the Brownfields Program as part of the Yorkshire Drive Brownfields
Property (No. 22033-18-060), discussed below.
• Yorkshire Drive Brownfields Property (3603, 3605, 3607 South Tryon Street, 324, 336,
330 Yorkshire Drive) is located adjacent to the west and southwest and downgradient of
the Site. The addresses listed make up the Brownfields Property Number 22033-18-060
which is an ongoing Brownfields redevelopment project. This property is further discussed
in Section 4.2.
• Joe B. Williams Property (3500 South Tryon Street) is located approximately 475 ft to the
northeast of the Site across South Tryon Street and topographically cross -gradient. The
facility is listed on the LUST database as incident number 12153. The release incident was
reported in 1993 when impacted soil was encountered during the removal of five 4,000-
gallon gasoline USTs and one 4,000-gallon diesel UST. Confirmation soil sampling
indicated the presence total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations (TPH) at concentrations
up to 14,000 mg/kg. Based on the results of the confirmation samples, DEQ (the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources [DENR] at that time)
requested that a Phase I LSA be completed. Analytical results from the LSA indicated
impacts to soil at concentrations below Residential Maximum Soil Contaminant
Concentrations (MSCCs). Analytical results of the groundwater samples indicated the
presence of petroleum compounds at concentrations above the 2L Groundwater Standards.
In 2004 the incident was issued regulatory closure with a groundwater use restriction.
Based on distance from the Site and area topography the potential for impact to the Site
appears to be low.
• Pelton & Crane Co (200 Clanton Road) is located approximately 700 ft to the northeast
and topographically upgradient of the site and is listed on the RCRA Non -Gen, RCRA
14 hart' hickman

SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

TSD, Inactive Hazardous Sites Inventory (SHWS), Incident Management Database
(SPILLS), Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP), Brownfields, UST, and LUST databases.
The RCRA Non -Gen database indicates the facility formerly generated ignitable (DOOI),
Lead (DO08), tetrachloroethene (D039), and spent nonhalogenated (FO05) hazardous
wastes. Several violations were issued to the facility in the mid-1980s and early 1990s.
The facility subsequently achieved compliance with the violations. The Brownfields
database indicates that a Brownfields Agreement has been executed for the property.
The IMD database indicates that impacts to soil were encountered during removal of USTs
at the facility. Based on the listing on the SHWS, VCP, and Brownfields databases, H&H
completed a regulatory file review to obtain additional information. This facility is further
discussed in Section 4.2.
• Former Consolidated Steel / South Village Site (101 Clanton Road) is located
approximately 800 ft to the east-northeast and topographically upgradient to cross -gradient
of the subject site and is listed on the LUST and LAST databases. The LAST database
indicates that a release incident was reported in September 2007. H&H reviewed available
documents on DEQ's online Laserfiche database. Review of a Site Closure Report
indicates that the presence of petroleum compounds in soil at the facility were likely the
result of spill/leaks from vehicles and small oil storage containers. Approximately 325
tons of impacted soil was subsequently excavated and disposed off -site. No impacts to
groundwater were reported. DEQ (DENR at that time) subsequently issued a NFA in a
letter dated September 24, 2007. Based on the lack of impacts to groundwater, removal of
impacted soil, and the closed status of the release incident, H&H considers the potential
for impact to the Site to be low.

Additional Properties
Several additional properties in the vicinity of the subject Site are identified in the ERIS report.
These properties include, but are not limited to facilities listed on the SHWS, UST, LUST, and
LAST databases. H&H reviewed these properties for the potential to impact the subject Site. Due
to distance, topography, the lack of a reported release, and/or the closed status of release incidents,
the potential for these listings to impact the subject Site appears to be low.
Unplottable Properties
H&H reviewed a list of unplottable properties presented in the ERIS database report. Unplottable
properties do not contain sufficient address information in the environmental databases to plot
them on a map. Based on review of the ERIS unplottable summary, H&H identified several
unplottable properties. Based on the listed addresses and limited property information, H&H did
not complete further review of these facilities.
4.2 Regulatory Agency File and Records Review
Based on release incidents reported for the subject Site and on nearby properties, H&H completed
a regulatory file review using DEQ's online Laserfiche database. Summaries of the pertinent
documents are provided below. Documents obtained from DEQ's database are provided in
Appendix C.
Regulatory Agency Files and Other Environmental Documents — Subject Site
H&H completed a regulatory file review to obtain additional documents related to the Canteen
Corporation LUST release incident (Incident No. 6923). Files related to the release incident were
not available from DEQ. However, H&H obtained a bulleted summary of the American Fence
release incident (detailed below) which also included a brief summary of the Canteen Corporation
LUST incident. The summary indicated that benzene had been detected in groundwater at the Site
at concentrations up to 200 µg/l. Additionally, a Phase I LSA conducted in 2004 at the American
Fence property included figure which indicated the presence of benzene and xylenes at
concentrations up to 360 µg/l and xylenes up to 3,300 µg/l, respectively in groundwater samples
collected from monitoring wells on the subject Site.

H&H contacted Mr. Dan Bowser with DEQ's UST Section to obtain additional information
regarding this release incident. In an email dated June 26, 2019, Mr. Bowser indicated that the
release incident is remains open and is classified as an intermediate risk.
Based on the open status of the release incident and the potential presence of elevated
concentrations of benzene in groundwater, H&H considers the Canteen Corporation LUST
incident at the Site to be a REC.
Regulatory Agency Files and Other Environmental Documents — American Fence
• Additional Phase II Subsurface Investigation Report, American Fence, prepared by
GaiaTech, Inc. (Gaia), dated October 22, 2011.
The report indicates that assessment activities conducted at American Fence in July 2001
indicated the presence of several compounds including PCE, TCE, cis-1,2-DCE, and
MTBE. PCE and MTBE were detected at concentrations above Groundwater Standards.
Gaia indicated that the Parts Plus Auto Store adjacent to the east may be an off -Site source
of petroleum compounds it Site groundwater and that Quality Cleaners (currently Miracle
Cleaners) adjacent to the south may be an off -Site source of solvent compounds in Site
groundwater.
Based on the groundwater analytical results, Gaia conducted additional assessment
activities at the Site including the advancement of six soil borings and installation of three
permanent monitoring wells in August 2001. Analytical results of collected soil samples
did not indicate the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons gasoline range organics
(TPH-GRO), total petroleum hydrocarbons diesel range organics (TPH-DRO), or volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) above laboratory reporting limits. Groundwater analytical
results indicated the presence of PCE above the Groundwater Standard in a groundwater
sample collected from a monitoring well installed off the northeast corner of the Miracle
Cleaners building.
