parcel 0749-04-50-1918 (recorded as Durham County Register of Deeds at Book 1107, Page 42)
on March 3, 1983 from Mr. and Mrs. Dewey A. Briggs. The parcels comprising the Brownfields
23016-19-032/TW Alexander/ 15Nov2019
Property have not been developed following IBM's acquisition of the parcels, though certain of
the parcels are reported to have contained single family residential dwellings historically. A
stream named Stirrup Iron Creek runs through a topographic low across the Brownfields
Property from northwest to southeast. Designated wetland areas are also located on the
Brownfields Property.
b. According to historical research documentation, past use of the Brownfields
Property includes agricultural and residential uses although residential structures were removed
sometime between 1972 and 1981. Remaining portions of the site have remained undeveloped.
7. Pertinent environmental information regarding the Brownfields Property and
surrounding area includes the following:
a. Chlorinated solvents (1, 1, 1 -trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), 1,1,2-TCA, 1,1-
dichloroethane (1,1-DCA), 1,2-DCA, 1, 1 -dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), 1,4-dioxane,
dichlorodifluoromethane, and vinyl chloride) have been documented at the Brownfields Property
in groundwater that has migrated to the Brownfields Property from an off -site solvent plume
associated with the former operations on the Week Property facility located on a northern
adjacent parcel, across TW Alexander Drive.
b. Investigation of the Week Property is documented in DEQ's Inactive
Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) Registered Environmental Consultant Program (REC) records
(Project No. NCD001493934). The migration of contaminated groundwater is influenced by a
subsurface diabase dike.
8. The most recent environmental sampling at the Brownfields Property reported in the
Environmental Reports occurred on July 10, 2019 through July 19, 2019. The following tables

qualification for this Agreement, including the requirement that it not have caused or contributed
to the contamination at the Brownfields Property.
IX. DEQ'S COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
25. Unless any of the following apply, Prospective Developer shall not be liable to DEQ,
and DEQ covenants not to sue Prospective Developer, for remediation of the Brownfields
Property except as specified in this Agreement:
a. The Prospective Developer fails to comply with this Agreement.
b. The activities conducted on the Brownfields Property by or under the control
or direction of the Prospective Developer increase the risk of harm to public health or the
environment, in which case Prospective Developer shall be liable for remediation of the areas of
the Brownfields Property, remediation of which is required by this Agreement, to the extent
necessary to eliminate such risk of harm to public health or the environment.
c. A land use restriction set out in the Notice of Brownfields Property required
under NCGS § 130A-310.35 is violated while the Prospective Developer owns the Brownfields
Property, in which case the Prospective Developer shall be responsible for remediation of the
Brownfields Property to unrestricted use standards.
d. The Prospective Developer knowingly or recklessly provided false information
20
23016-19-032/TW Alexander/ 15Nov2019
that formed a basis for this Agreement or knowingly or recklessly offers false information to
demonstrate compliance with this Agreement or fails to disclose relevant information about
contamination at the Brownfields Property.
e. New information indicates the existence of previously unreported
contaminants or an area of previously unreported contamination on or associated with the
Brownfields Property that has not been remediated to unrestricted use standards, unless this
Agreement is amended to include any previously unreported contaminants and any additional
areas of contamination. If this Agreement sets maximum concentrations for contaminants, and
new information indicates the existence of previously unreported areas of these contaminants,
further remediation shall be required only if the areas of previously unreported contaminants
raise the risk of the contamination to public health or the environment to a level less protective of
public health and the environment than that required by this Agreement.
f. The level of risk to public health or the environment from contaminants is
unacceptable at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property due to changes in exposure
conditions, including (i) a change in land use that increases the probability of exposure to
contaminants at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property or (ii) the failure of remediation to
mitigate risks to the extent required to make the Brownfields Property fully protective of public
health and the environment as planned in this Agreement.
g. DEQ obtains new information about a contaminant associated with the
Brownfields Property or exposures at or around the Brownfields Property that raises the risk to
public health or the environment associated with the Brownfields Property beyond an acceptable
range and in a manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement.
21
23016-19-032/TW Alexander/ 15Nov2019
