It was previously anticipated that approximately 5,000 cubic yards (CY) of soil would need to be imported to the Wright's Executive Sales II Brownfields site in order to support further grading activities. A revision to the workplan was submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Brownfields Redevelopment Section (BRS) on December 8, 2022, which received approval on December 12, 2022. ECS executed the scope of work outlined in Wright's Executive Sales II — Double R Farm Import Soil Sampling Work Plan - Revision 1.0 (ECS Project No. 49-10039-13) on December 16, 2022, which included the collection of five (5) representative soil samples and one (1) duplicate from virgin soils stockpiled on the site for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260, semi -volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270, organochlorine pesticides by EPA Method 8081, organophosphorus pesticides by EPA Method 8141, herbicides by EPA Method 8151, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 8-Metals by EPA Method 6010, and for hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) by EPA Method 7199. ECS submitted the Report of Import Soil Sampling Assessment (ECS Project No. 49-10039-B) to NCDEQ BRS on January 19, 2023 for the sampling activities conducted in December, 2022. Upon review of the report, the BRS requested that ECS re -sample the stockpiled soil for VOCs by EPA Method 8260 indicated in correspondence with Ms. Holly Samaha-Smith on January 30 and February 6, 2023. On February 16, 2023, ECS re -mobilized to Double R Farm in an effort to re -collect VOC samples, however the stockpile that was previously sampled was apparently no longer present at the site. Upon communication with the site contractor for the construction site at the Wright's Executive II site, it was decided that the import of 5,000 CY of soil would no longer be needed at the time, and soil was not imported to the site for grading.

Correspondence with the BRS on May 24, 2023 indicated the need to re -sample the virgin source area for VOCs by EPA Method 8260 under the previously approved Wright's Executive Sales 11 — Double R Farm Import Soil Sampling Work Plan - Revision 1.0 dated December 16, 2022. ECS understands that the SVOC, organochlorine pesticide, organophosphorus pesticide, herbicide, RCRA-8 metal, and Cr VI data from the soil samples collected on December 16, 2022 will be valid for the approval of the proposed import of soil from Double R Farm. ECS will conduct the additional sampling of VOCs for the virgin borrow source at Double R Farm in general accordance with the previously prepared, revised, and approved work plan dated December 16, 2022. The following anticipated deviations from the workplan for the additional sampling should be noted: • It is anticipated that only 500 CY of soil will be needed for future grading activities at the subject property, reduced from the 5,000 CY referenced in the workplan. As such, ECS will reduce the number of samples to one (1) sample in accordance with the June 7, 2022 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of one representative sample per every approximate 500 CY of proposed imported soil. ECS will also collect one (1) duplicate VOC sample for quality assurance/quality control purposes. • It is anticipated that soil from the virgin borrow source area will not be able to be stockpiled prior to sampling. As such, ECS will collect in -situ soil samples from the virgin borrow source area at Double R Farm using a decontaminated hand auger. ECS will advance five (5) borings to depths of approximately 5 feet below ground surface (ft bgs). ECS personnel will collect one grab sample, as well as a duplicate aliquot of soil at 1 ft intervals in each boring. ECS personnel will take special care during collection so that the grab sample aliquots will be placed in either 2oz or 4 oz glass resealable soil jars with zero headspace, and immediately placed on ice upon collection. The duplicate grab sample aliquot will be placed in a resealable plastic bag for field screening. ECS will screen each duplicate aliquot for VOCs using a photoionization detector (PID). The grab sample with the highest corresponding duplicate aliquot PID reading will be submitted for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260. One duplicate sample will also be collected from the grab sample with the highest PID reading and submitted for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260. The estimated proposed boring locations are indicated in Figure 1. The proposed sample IDs with sampling objectives, collection depths, and analytical methods are summarized in Table 1. At this time, the precise location that the 500 CY of import will be obtained from the borrow source indicated in Figure 1 is unknown, due to the fact that the borrow source is currently active and being used for other sites. The 500 CY of soil will be sourced from areas within the borrow source area illustrated in Figure 1. 2 Double R Farm Import Soil Sampling Work Plan —June 2023 Addendum —Revision 1.0 Wrights Executive Sales 11 Brownfield Project No. 24007-20-032 ECS Project No. 49-10039-B ECS appreciates the opportunity to work with the NCBRS.
