6. For purposes of this Agreement, DEQ relies on the following representations by
Prospective Developer as to use and ownership of the Brownfields Property:
a. The Brownfields Property is currently owned as follows:
i. Properties identified as 1513, 1515, and 1521 S. Mint Street are owned
by Irish Mac Properties, LLC.
ii. Properties identified as 1525, 1529, and 1537 S. Mint Street and 404
Westwood Avenue are owned by Martha F. Gainey.
b. The northern Brownfields Property building (1513 and 1515 South Mint Street)
is an approximately 14,000 square foot single story commercial building with three tenant spaces.
The western-most tenant space has most recently been occupied by a hydraulic hose fabrication
and sales facility (Pirtek), the central tenant space is unoccupied, and the eastern tenant space has
most recently been used as an administrative office for a demolition and abatement contractor

00910-014/00204615-7 5 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)
business (RCI Demolition). The 1521 South Mint Street portion of the Brownfields Property is
undeveloped and used as a gravel parking area. The western (1525 South Mint Street) and
northwestern parcels (1529 and 1537 South Mint Street) are developed with three industrial
warehouse buildings that have most recently been occupied for automotive repair-related purposes
(Dee Gainey’s). The southeastern parcel (404 Westwood Avenue) consists primarily of
undeveloped vegetated land with a gravel driveway and waste receptacle enclosure located near
Westwood Avenue.
c. Historically, the western parcels located along Westwood Avenue and near the
Westwood Avenue and South Mint Street intersection were developed with four residences and
associated garage structures as early as 1929. By 1933, the industrial warehouse located at 1525
S. Mint Street was constructed and has been utilized for automotive repair and automotive
painting purposes since that time. The remainder of the western parcels were residential until the
1960s, when the residences located south of Westwood Avenue were razed for construction of
the two industrial warehouse buildings located at 1529 and 1537 South Mint Street. The 1525,
1529, and 1537 South Mint Street buildings have been utilized for automotive repair, body shop,
and painting purposes by the Stockton Motor Co., S&R Auto & Truck Service, Inc., Pete’s Paint
& Body Works, Bush Limousine Service, Dale’s Auto Service, and Dee Gainey’s Body Shop,
Inc. since construction. The 1920s residence located at 404 Westwood Avenue was razed in the
late 1980s and the parcel has been undeveloped vacant land since that time.
d. As early as 1929, the eastern portion of the Brownfields Property was
developed with a small office building and two small commercial buildings, and the central
portion of the Brownfields Property was developed with a residential duplex building. The

00910-014/00204615-7 6 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)
buildings in the eastern portion of the Brownfields Property were occupied by the Jewel Tea
Company, Rudisill Gold Mine Inc., and Cabarrus Mining & Milling Company as early as the
1930s. By the early to mid-1940s, the eastern and south-central portion of the Brownfields
Property was developed with the Charlotte Metal Stamping, Inc. facility. Charlotte Metal
Stamping operations included a die stamping room, two machine shop areas, a paint booth, and a
tin shop.
e. Quality Products Company, Inc. purchased the Charlotte Metal Stamping, Inc.
facility in the early 1950s and continued metal stamping operations. Additions were constructed
on the western side of the 1940s facility in the 1960s and the metal stamping facility
encompassed the eastern and central portions of the Brownfields Property, resulting in the
current buildings. By the late 1960s, an additional machine shop was constructed south of the
Quality Products Company facility in the central portion of the Brownfields Property. Quality
Products Company metal stamping operations continued at the Brownfields Property until the
mid-1980s. The machine shop in the central portion of the Brownfields Property was
demolished in the mid-1980s and the parcel was used for parking when Quality Products
Company operations ceased. Since the 1980s, several businesses have occupied portions of the
northern building including a civil engineering firm, a coffee bean roasting company, a
telemarketing business, and laser engraving businesses.
7. Pertinent environmental information regarding the Brownfields Property and
surrounding area includes the following:
a. The Site is identified in the Emergency Response Notification System
database. Information provided in the databases indicates that a caller reported dumping of

00910-014/00204615-7 7 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)
unknown quantities of hydraulic oil onto the ground surface at the Pirtek (1521 S. Mint St.)
facility in 2012. According to the property owner, the complaint concerned rainwater entering
an uncovered dumpster and draining on the ground. The dumpster was subsequently covered and
potential soil impacts were assessed in January 2018.
b. In December 2017, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was
completed for the portions of the Brownfields Property located at 1513, 1515, and 1521 South
Mint Street.
c. A Phase II ESA soil and sub-slab soil vapor assessment was completed in
January 2018 at the 1513, 1515, and 1521 South Mint Street portions of the Brownfields
Property to evaluate the potential for impacts in areas of potential environmental concern
identified during the Phase I ESA. Soil assessment activities included collecting one soil sample
for laboratory analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-VOCs (SVOCs) within
the footprint of surficial oil staining observed south of the 1515 South Mint Street (Pirtek)
building. Soil sample laboratory analytical results indicate that no VOCs or SVOCs exceeded
DEQ Inactive Hazardous Site Branch (IHSB) Industrial/Commercial Preliminary Soil
Remediation Goals (PSRGs).
Four sub-slab soil vapor samples were collected for analysis of VOCs for the
1513 and 1515 South Mint Street buildings. Sub-slab soil vapor laboratory analytical results
indicated the presence of several VOCs above laboratory method detection limits in each sub-
slab soil vapor sample. Trichloroethylene (TCE) was detected at concentrations exceeding the
DEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion Sub-Slab and
Exterior Soil Gas Screening Levels (SGSLs) in two sub-slab soil vapor samples collected in the

00910-014/00204615-7 8 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)
northern portions of the 1513 and 1515 South Mint Street buildings. No other compounds were
detected at concentrations above the DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion SGSLs.
d. In December 2018, additional soil, groundwater, and indoor air assessment
activities were completed at the Brownfields Property in accordance with a DEQ-approved
Brownfields Assessment Work Plan dated November 28, 2018. Groundwater assessment
activities included collection of three groundwater samples for laboratory analysis of VOCs,
SVOCs, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals. Groundwater sample
analytical results indicated that TCE was detected at a concentration above the 15A NCAC 2L
Groundwater Quality Standard (2L Standard) and the DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor
Intrusion Groundwater Screening Level (GWSL) in a sample collected in the southeastern and
hydraulically upgradient portion of the Brownfields Property. No other compounds were
detected at concentrations above the 2L Standard or DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor
Intrusion GWSLs.
i. As part of the December 2018 Brownfields assessment activities, four
indoor air samples were collected for VOC analysis to evaluate the potential for a completed
structural vapor intrusion pathway from sub-slab soil vapor to indoor air within the 1513 and
1515 South Mint Street buildings. The indoor air sample analytical results indicated that TCE
was detected at concentrations above the DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion Indoor
Air Screening Level (IASL) in three of the four indoor air samples. In addition, heptane was
detected at a concentration above the DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion IASLs in an
indoor air sample collected within a hydraulic hose fabrication workshop area in the western-
most tenant space. No other compounds were detected at concentrations exceeding the DEQ

00910-014/00204615-7 9 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)
DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion IASLs in the December 2018 indoor air samples
collected within the 1513 and 1515 South Mint Street building.
ii. Additional soil assessment activities were also conducted as part of the
December 2018 Brownfields assessment activities and included collection of six soil samples for
laboratory analysis of VOCs, SVOCs, and RCRA metals plus hexavalent chromium. Laboratory
analytical results indicated that arsenic was detected at concentrations exceeding the DEQ IHSB
Industrial/Commercial PSRG in soil samples collected south of the 1513 and 1515 South Mint
Street building. No other compounds were detected at concentrations above the IHSB
Industrial/Commercial PSRGs in the December 2018 soil samples.
e. A Brownfields Program receptor survey was completed in December 2018 as
part of Brownfields assessment activities. No active water supply wells were identified within
1,500 ft of the Brownfields Property. No surface water bodies were identified on the
Brownfields Property or on adjacent properties.
f. In August 2019, a combined Phase I and Phase II ESA was conducted in
connection with the 1525, 1529 and 1537 South Mint Street and 404 Westwood Avenue parcels.
Phase II ESA activities included collection of soil, groundwater, and sub-slab soil vapor samples
for laboratory analysis to evaluate the potential for impacts in areas of potential environmental
concern identified during the Phase I ESA. Soil assessment activities included collection of 10
soil samples for laboratory analysis of VOCs, SVOCs, and RCRA metals plus hexavalent
chromium, and one soil sample for the analysis of PCBs. Groundwater assessment activities
included collection of four groundwater samples for laboratory analysis of VOCs, SVOCs, and
RCRA metals. Sub-slab soil vapor assessment activities included collection of six soil vapor

00910-014/00204615-7 10 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)

Street buildings (two sub-slab soil vapor samples were collected in each building).
i. Soil sample laboratory analytical results indicated that
1,4-dichlorobenzene, naphthalene, and mercury were detected at concentrations above the DEQ
IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRGs in a soil sample collected beneath the 1525 South Mint
Street building slab adjacent to a floor drain. In addition, arsenic was detected at a concentration
above the DEQ IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRG in a soil sample collected beneath the 1525
South Mint Street building slab in the area of a paint booth. Mercury was also detected above
the DEQ IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRG in a soil sample collected adjacent to an
underground storage tank located in the northern portion of the 1525 South Mint Street building.
No other compounds were detected above the DEQ IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRGs.
ii. Groundwater sample laboratory analytical results indicated that
1,2-dichloroethane was detected at an estimated concentration above the 2L Standard in a sample
collected northwest and hydraulically downgradient of the 1537 South Mint Street building. No
other compounds were detected above the 2L Standards and no compounds were detected above
the DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion GWSLs in groundwater.
iii. Sub-slab soil vapor laboratory analytical results indicated that
naphthalene was detected at a concentration above the DEQ DWM Non-Residential Vapor
Intrusion SGSL in one sub-slab soil vapor sample collected in the 1525 South Mint Street
building. No other compounds were detected at concentrations above the DEQ DWM Non-
Residential Vapor Intrusion SGSL in the August 2019 sub-slab soil vapor samples.
g. In November 2019, supplemental Brownfields soil and groundwater

00910-014/00204615-7 11 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)
assessment activities were completed to further evaluate the potential for impact on the 1537
South Mint Street and 404 Westwood Avenue parcels. Soil assessment activities included
collection of two soil samples for laboratory analysis of VOCs, SVOCs, and RCRA metals plus
hexavalent chromium. Groundwater assessment activities included collection of two
groundwater samples for laboratory analysis of VOCs, SVOCs, and RCRA metals. Soil sample
laboratory analytical results indicated that no compounds were detected at concentrations above
the DEQ IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRGs. Groundwater sample laboratory analytical results
indicated that no compounds were detected at concentrations above the 2L Standards or DEQ
DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion GWSLs.

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
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

00910-014/00204615-7 27 22016-18-060/Quality Products (20200205)
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.
h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of
Brownfields Property under NCGS § 130A-310.35.
26. Except as may be provided herein, DEQ reserves its rights against Prospective
Developer as to liabilities beyond the scope of the Act.
27. This Agreement does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain a permit,
license or certification, or to comply with any and all other applicable law, including the North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act, NCGS § 113A-1, et seq.
28. Consistent with NCGS § 130A-310.33, the liability protections provided herein, and
any statutory limitations in paragraphs 25 through 27 above, apply to all of the persons listed in
NCGS § 130A-310.33, including future owners of the Brownfields Property, to the same extent
