Dear Mr. Doorn:

On behalf of DPJ Residential, LLC, the Prospective Developer (PD), Terracon Consultants, Inc.
(Terracon) hereby submits this Soil Import Request and Soil Characterization Work Plan. The
imported soil may be needed in the event that on-site soil stockpiles are too wet or of insufficient
quality to use as fill material. The PD is seeking your approval of this Soil Import Request and
Soil Characterization Work Plan so that construction activities can continue at the site.

Proposed Source of Fill Material
The PD desires to import approximately 1,000 cubic yards of sand and rock fill materials from the
Vulcan East Forsyth Quarry located at 2868 NC Highway 66 S in Kernersville, North Carolina.
The materials will be transported from the quarry to the project site in dump trucks.

Terracon understands that the Vulcan Materials Company quarry is not permitted through the NC
Mining Inventory Program. As such, the NC Brownfields Program will require one soil sample per
1,000 cubic yards of fill (approximately 1.5 tons) to characterize the soil quality. Terracon’s
procedures for collecting and analyzing the soil samples are described below.

Work Plan to Characterize Import Soil Quality
Terracon proposes to collect and analyze one soil sample per 1,000 yards of fill from the area of
the quarry actively being mined. The attached Exhibit 1 shows the quarry boundary, and the
approximate area of the quarry from which the soil sample will be collected. Terracon will be
accompanied by quarry personnel during the sampling activities and will collect the soil sample
while outfitted in EPA Level “D” personal protective equipment.

In accordance with Brownfields Program requirements, Terracon will collect one grab sample for
analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and one composite soil sample for analysis of
semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), eight Resource and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals
and hexavalent chrome. The composite sample will consist of approximately equal aliquots of
soil from three discreet locations within the active mining area.

The soil samples will be collected at depths of approximately 6 to 9 inches below ground surface
using a decontaminated trowel or shovel. The trowel or shovel will be cleaned in an Alconox
solution and rinsed with deionized water prior to sampling and following each sample. One grab
sample will be collected from an arbitrary location within the active mining area; if soils potentially
impacted by VOCs are observed, the sample will be collected in that area. Soil grab samples
collected from three arbitrary locations within the active mining area for SVOC and metals analysis
will be placed into a large plastic bag and composited. The samples will be placed directly into
laboratory-supplied glass containers, labeled, and placed on ice in a thermally insulated cooler.

The samples will be shipped along with a chain-of-custody form to the state-certified Pace
Analytical Laboratories in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee for analysis of VOCs using USEPA Method 8260,
SVOCs using USEPA Method 8270, 8 RCRA Metals using USEPA Method 6010/7471, and
hexavalent chrome using USEPA Method 7199.

Data Reporting
Terracon will provide a copy of the laboratory analytical report to the NC Brownfields Program
along with a brief email summary of findings. Terracon anticipates the soil import activities can
be approved assuming that the soil sample analytical results do not exceed their respective
Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs) as described in the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch Guidelines for Assessment
and Cleanup of Contaminated Sites, dated July 2021.

Terracon appreciates the opportunity to present this work plan to the North Carolina Brownfields
Program. Terracon Consultants, Inc. is licensed to practice geology in North Carolina. The
certification number of the corporation is F-0869. Should you have any questions or require
additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us at [phone].
