Dear Mr. Schumacher:
The following report describes the field activities, methods, and findings of the Phase II Subsurface
Investigation conducted by Partner Engineering North Carolina, PLLC (Partner) at the above-referenced
property. The objectives of the investigation were to:
•Investigate whether underground storage tanks (USTs) related to the former filling station remain
on the subject property;
•Evaluate whether the former filling station on the southwest portion of the subject property has
resulted in impacts by petroleum hydrocarbons to soil and/or groundwater;
•Evaluate the integrity of the 2,000-gallon diesel UST on the east side of the subject property; and,
•Evaluate the integrity of the 2,000-gallon waste oil UST on the east side of the subject property.
Grubb Properties, Inc. approved this scope of work and provided project authorization of Partner Proposal
Number P14-131345.4.
Site Description
The subject property consists of one parcel totaling approximately 2.171 acres. It occupies the block
bound to the north by West 5th Street, to the south by West 4th Street, to the west by Poplar Street
Northwest, and to the east by Spruce Street North. The subject property is located in a mixed
commercial/retail/residential area of downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina and is currently
developed with an unoccupied office building the south tower of which was constructed in 1951, and the
north tower of which was constructed in 1980. In addition to the structures, the subject property is also
improved with asphalt-paved parking areas and associated landscaping.
The subject property is currently occupied by vacant commercial office buildings. On-site operations
consist of routine building maintenance. The subject property consists of one 21-story building with a
basement (North Tower), one six-story building with a basement (South Tower), and one single-story
building which houses the emergency generator. In addition to the current structures, the subject
property is also improved with landscaping and concrete walkways on the north end, and an asphalt
parking area on the south end

The subject property is bound by First Baptist Church across West 5th Street to the north; The Lowrey
Building across West 4th Street to the south, the Winston-Salem Journal, an unoccupied historic domicile,
and Chamber Plaza retail building across Spruce Street to the east, and a paved asphalt parking lot and a
concrete parking structure across Poplar Street Northwest to the west. Refer to Figure 1 for a site plan
showing site features and surrounding properties.
Site History
Partner completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) Report for the subject property,
dated January 8, 2015, on behalf of Grubb Properties, Inc.
As documented in the Phase I report, according to available historical sources, the subject property was
developed with residential dwellings as early as 1885; developed with residences and a church between
1885 and at least 1917; developed with residential and commercial structures from as early as 1917 to at
least 1969, and developed with the current three structures in 1950, 1980, and 1999 for the South Tower,
North Tower, and Emergency Generator Building, respectively. Tenants on the subject property have
included a filling station (at least 1950 to at least 1957), Integon Insurance (at least 1987 to at least 2008)
and GMAC Insurance (at least 2008 to 2013).
According to the Phase I, the subject property is equipped with one 2,000-gallon diesel fuel UST on its
east side between the north and south tower. The 2,000-gallon UST was installed in 2005 and is
constructed of steel-clad fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). The diesel UST provides fuel for the North
Tower emergency generator. Based on the age of the tank and limited additional information regarding
construction and potential leakage, the diesel fuel UST was identified as a recognized environmental
condition.
Historical Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps dated 1950 and 1957 depicted a filling station with four tanks
located on the southwest corner of the subject property. There is no regulatory record of the filling
station or any related environmental investigation. Further, information regarding a monitoring well
located on the southwest portion of the subject property (in the area of the former fill station), associated
with the adjoining western property groundwater investigation (Leaking Underground Storage Tank
(LUST) Incident #8943), indicated naphthalene and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate were detected in
groundwater at the subject property. The on-site well was installed as an up-gradient well for the
adjoining property, and therefore, the naphthalene and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate likely did not originate
at the release associated with the adjoining site. As such, the source of on-site groundwater impacts has
not been identified and is potentially associated with a release from the subject property. The historical
use of the subject property as a gasoline filling station, and the potentially associated groundwater
impacts previously identified on site, were considered recognized environmental conditions where further
investigation was warranted.
The Phase I also identified a 2,000-gallon waste oil UST, designed to contain transformer oil in the event
of a rupture of on-site transformers, that has been located on the east side of the subject property since
approximately 1980. Since this tank is used solely for emergency purposes and is otherwise empty, the

waste oil UST is considered a de minimis environmental concern. A 12,000-gallon diesel UST, which fuels
the emergency generator for the South Tower, was observed in the south parking lot. This UST was the
subject of recent inspections, which did not reveal any leaks, and therefore was not considered a
recognized environmental condition.
Aside from the three current USTs, two former USTs were also identified. A former 10,000-gallon diesel
UST has been closed in-place on the west side of the subject property, and a former 2,000-gallon diesel
UST was removed when the current 2,000-gallon diesel UST replaced it on the east side of the subject
property. Both of these USTs were the subjects of previous investigations that revealed soil impacts. The
resultant UST Section incidents were closed with a Notice of Residual Petroleum, and are considered a
controlled recognized environmental condition.
Geology and Hydrogeology
According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985), the project site is located within the Milton Belt
Region. The Milton Belt consists of gneisses, schist, and metamorphosed intrusive rocks. The Milton Belt
Region lies in the Piedmont Province which is characterized by gently rolling well rounded hills and long
low ridges with a few feet of elevation difference between the hills and the valleys. More specifically, the
site is underlain by the biotite and gneiss schist. Refer to Figure 2 for a topographic map of the site
vicinity.
According to the Soil and Groundwater Assessment Report prepared for the adjoining Fourth Street
Parking Deck by Aquaterra, Inc. (July 9, 1991), the depth and direction of groundwater in the vicinity of the
subject property was approximately 43-44 feet below ground surface (bgs) and inferred to flow to the
southwest.
Based on borings advanced during this investigation, the upper 20 to 30 feet of the subsurface consists
predominantly of orange silt and silty clay, which is underlain by light brown and mottled purple silt to
medium sand.
Groundwater was not encountered during this investigation, as bedrock refusal occurred between 29 feet
bgs and 37 bgs in the borings drilled. Refer to Appendix A for boring logs from this investigation.
Pre-Field Activities
Prior to the initiation of fieldwork, Partner completed the following activities:
Utility Clearance
Partner notified NC811 to clear public utility lines as required by law at least three business days prior to
drilling activities. NC811 issued ticket number C150351249 for the project.
Field Activities
Refer to Table 1 for a summary of the borings, sampling schedule and laboratory analyses for this
investigation. The scope of the Phase II Subsurface Investigation included a geophysical survey and the
advancement of four borings (B01 through B04) for the collection of representative soil and groundwater

samples. As bedrock refusal occurred at each boring prior to encountering groundwater, groundwater
samples were not collected.
Underground Storage Tank Tightness Testing
On February 10, 2015, Precision Tank Services, Inc. (PTS) of Cornelius, North Carolina conducted UST
tightness testing under the supervision of Partner. When attempting to test the empty 2,000-gallon waste
oil UST, PTS discovered that the wood and fiberglass lid covering the UST tankhold was installed upside
down, such that the handle designed for removing the lid was inside the tankhold. Additionally, the
condition of the lid was deteriorated to the degree that removing it would result in its destruction.
Because of these conditions, the empty waste oil UST was not tested.
When the 2,000-gallon diesel was inspected by PTS it was found to be double-walled fiberglass, and to
have interstitial spill detection equipment. The spill detection equipment indicated that no release had
occurred. To test the diesel UST, PTS applied a vacuum for eight minutes. The delivery and return lines
were closed at the location of the pumps in the basement of the north tower, so that the underground
portions of the lines would also be subjected to the vacuum and therefore tested along with the UST.
After the eight-minute testing period, the vacuum was undiminished, indicating that neither the UST or
subsurface portions of the lines have been compromised. A copy of the tightness testing report is
included in Appendix B.
Geophysical Survey
On February 10, 2015, KCI Associates of North Carolina, P.A. (KCI) conducted a geophysical survey under
the supervision of Partner. The purpose of the geophysical survey was to identify any USTs remaining in
place and clear boring locations of utilities. The geophysical survey was conducted with electromagnetic
induction (EM) equipment and ground penetrating radar (GPR) unit.
KCI systematically free-traversed the investigation area with the aforementioned equipment. The
equipment data were interpreted in real time and compiled as necessary in order to identify subsurface
anomalies consistent with USTs, disturbed soil resembling utility lines, and/or other subsurface
conduits/features.
The geophysical survey identified several subsurface anomalies in the investigation area that were
consistent with a former building location, but none that appeared to represent a UST. One linear feature,
trending west-east near the south end of the investigation area was interpreted to be either a defunct
utility or product piping.
Health and Safety Plan
Partner reviewed the site-specific Health and Safety Plan with on-site personnel involved in the project
prior to the commencement of drilling activities.

On February 10, 2015, Partner subcontracted with Probe Technology, Inc. of Concord, North Carolina
(Probe Tech) to provide and operate drilling equipment. Probe-Tech, under the direction of Partner,
advanced borings B01 through B04 with a track-mounted Geoprobe direct push rig. Sampling equipment
was decontaminated between sample intervals and boring locations to prevent cross-contamination.
Boring Locations
Borings B01 through B04 were advanced in the southwest portion of the parking lot on the south end of
the subject property, in the area formerly occupied by a filing station. Boring B01 was advanced near a
subsurface anomaly on the east side of the inferred former filling station building location, and boring
B02 was advanced on the west side of the area inferred to have been occupied by the former filling
station building. Boring B03 was advanced next to the linear feature on the south end of the former filling
station area, and boring B04 was advanced on the southwest corner of the former filling station area, in
the inferred downgradient direction. Refer to Figure 3 for a map depicting boring locations.
Soil Sampling
All borings were overlain by asphalt, which was penetrated using a punch bit attachment advanced by the
direct-push drill rig. Boring B01 was advanced to a terminal depth of 29 feet bgs; boring B02 was
advanced to a terminal depth of 37 feet bgs, boring B03 was advanced to a terminal depth of 27.5 feet
bgs, and boring B04 was advanced to a terminal depth of 36 feet bgs.
Soil samples were collected using a five-foot long by 2.25-inch diameter MacroCore sampler with a five-
foot long polyvinyl chloride (PVC) liner, which was advanced by the direct-push drill rig using five-foot
long by 1.5-inch diameter drill rods. The sampler was driven into the subsurface to allow undisturbed soil
to enter the open MacroCore barrel and retrieved in five-foot intervals to recover the soil-filled liners.
A lengthwise section of each PVC liner was removed with a splitting tool to expose the soil. The soil
column was visually inspected for discoloration, monitored for odors, and classified in accordance with the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The soil column was field-screened at one-foot intervals with a
photoionization detector (PID) calibrated to isobutylene. None of the PID readings suggested the
presence of elevated volatile organics concentrations. Please refer to Appendix A for boring logs.
Soil depths selected for laboratory analysis were sampled directly from the liners using laboratory-
supplied vials and jars. The jars were filled with soil to capacity to minimize headspace and reduce the
potential for volatilization. The jars and vials were labeled for identification and stored in an iced cooler.
In boring SB01, a sample was collected at 6.0 feet bgs, near the inferred base of the subsurface anamoly.
As no elevated PID readings were observed, samples in borings B02, B03, and B04 were collected from
just above the terminal depths, 36.0 feet bgs, 27.0 feet bgs, and 35.0 feet bgs, respectively.
Following sampling activities the boreholes were backfilled with hydrated bentonite chips following
sampling activities. Boreholes advanced in improved areas were capped with asphalt patch to match
existing ground cover after being backfilled.

No significant amounts of derived wastes were generated during this investigation.
Laboratory Analysis
Partner collected four soil samples on February 10, 2015, which were transported in an iced cooler under
proper chain-of-custody protocol to Pace Analytical Services, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina, a North
Carolina state-certified laboratory. The four soil samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons
– gasoline range organics (TPH-GRO) in accordance with EPA Method 8015.
Regulatory Agency Guidance
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Waste
Management, Underground Storage Tank Section (UST Section) has established an Action Level of 10
milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for TPH-GRO in soil. Should THP-DRO exceed the Action Level,
additional analyses are required to determine whether a release requiring remediation has occurred.
Laboratory Analytical Results
Laboratory analytical results are included in Appendix C and discussed below.
Soil Sample Analytical Results
None of the analyzed soil samples contained detectable concentrations of TPH-DRO.
Refer to Table 2 for a summary of the soil sample laboratory analysis results.
Discussion
The 2,000-gallon waste oil UST was not tested, due to the access limitations described above. However, as
this UST is empty and has never been used, Partner does not expect that it has adversely impacted the
subject property and no further investigation associated with the 2,000-gallon empty waste oil UST is
warranted.
The 2,000-gallon diesel UST and subsurface portions of associated product and return lines passed
tightness testing, and as such, Partner does not expect that it has adversely affected the subject property.
As such, no further investigation associated with the 2,000-gallon diesel UST is warranted.
During advancement of the soil borings, no visual or olfactory evidence of a release was observed, and
field-screening with a PID did not indicate the presence of VOCs. Additionally, TPH-GRO was not detected
in any of the four soil samples. Coupled with the fact that the geophysical survey did not detect anomalies
indicative of USTs in the former filling station area, Partner does not expect that the former filling station
has adversely affected the subject property, and no further investigation associated with the former filling
station is warranted.
Summary and Conclusions
Partner conducted a Phase II Subsurface Investigation at the subject property to investigate the potential
impact of petroleum hydrocarbons as a consequence of a release or releases from a 2,000-gallon waste

oil UST, a 2,000-gallon diesel UST, and a former filling station. The scope of the Phase II Subsurface
Investigation included UST tightness testing, a geophysical survey and four soil and borings. Four soil
samples were analyzed for TPH-GRO.
The 2,000-gallon waste oil UST is empty and has never been used and does not pose a threat to the
subject property.
The 2,000-gallon diesel UST and associated subsurface product and return lines passed tightness testing,
indicating that they have not leaked.
The geophysical survey did not identify the presence of USTs and/or excavations and/or anomalies.
Field screening of soil borings did not indicate the presence of a petroleum or VOC release; further, THP-
GRO was not detected in any of the soil borings.
Based on the results of the Subsurface Investigation, there is no evidence of a release of hazardous
materials from the 2,000-gallon diesel UST or former filling station, and Partner recommends no further
investigation with respect to these features at this time.
