This request was submitted on your behalf by Ms. Samantha Szakasits of ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) on January 7, 2022 via email. It is DEQ Brownfields' understanding that soil generated during construction activities will be to a depth of 10 feet below ground surface (ft bgs). Based on this understanding, DEQ Brownfields reviewed the previously submitted Report of Environmental Assessment dated April 16, 2021. DEQ Brownfields believes the five in -situ soil samples documented in this report are representative of the estimated 8,525 cubic yards to be generated by this construction. DEQ Brownfields reviewed previously collected soil samples for metals from the Fogleman and Fogleman Landfill & Recycling Facility, a Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) landfill (Fogleman LCID Landfill). On January 12, 2022, ECS provided information on Earthtec Environmental, Inc., a Dedicated Containment and Treatment Facility in Chatham County. Based upon our review, the soils generated during construction may be managed as follows: • Soils associated with samples IS-1-1/DUP-2 and IS-2-2, representing soils in Cell 1 (0-5 ft bgs) and Cell 2 (5-10 ft bgs), may be managed at the Fogleman LCID Landfill, another LCID Landfill with background metals concentrations similar to those identified at the Brownfields Property with prior DEQ Brownfields approval, a Construction & Demolition (C&D) Landfill, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill, or at another Brownfields Property with prior DEQ Brownfields approval. • Soils associated with the samples IS-2-1 and IS-3-1, representing soils in Cell 2 (0-5 ft bgs) and Cell 3 (0-5 ft bgs), may be managed at Earthtec Environmental, Inc., a MSW Landfill, D E Q�� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Waste Management 217 West Jones Street 11646 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1646 NORTH CAROLINA - oaPsrtmammEnvironmental Quality /`� 919.707.8200 Mr. John Sunter January 18, 2022 Page 2 or at another Brownfields Property with prior DEQ Brownfields approval. These soils may also be reused as beneficial fill within the Brownfields Property Boundary if the material will be located in an area that will not be disturbed in a later phase of redevelopment. Per the Wright's Executive Sales II EMP, the soils will be field screened during excavation prior to export from the property. If unanticipated impacts are identified during excavation, please refer to the EMP for further actions and cease transfer until appropriate characterization can be completed. In accordance with the site's approved EMP, an annual Redevelopment Summary Report will be submitted to DEQ Brownfields. Details related to the disposition of this soil including but not limited to, total volume, general description of field screening efforts, manifests, etc. should be included with the Redevelopment Summary Report. Please be advised that this approval does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain any necessary permits, licenses or certifications which may be required from other state or local entities.
