Parcel A was developed in the 1950s as the Peden Steel Company with the present day warehouse. The present- day warehouses on Parcel B and C and the large office building on Parcel D were developed in the early 1960s. The maintenance building and the smaller office, located on Parcel D, were developed in the early 1970s and the early 1980s, respectively. The historic building uses included a steel fabrication facility that included the use of petroleum USTs, paint and sandblasting operations, operation of four maintenance shops, and a tool/chemical storage room. Currently the property is developed with three large warehouse structures, one office building, one smaller office building, one maintenance shop building, two temporary office/storage structures, and two outdoor canopy structures. Parcels A, B, and C of the subject site are primarily used by Waste Management to sort and process recycling of glass, plastics, and cardboard for transport off- site. Pratt Industries conducts maintenance and service of Waste Management’s fleet of dump trucks in the maintenance building located on Parcel D. The first floor of the larger office building located on Parcel D is occupied by Waste Management and the 2nd floor is vacant. The smaller office building on Parcel D is currently occupied by Peden Family, LLC. Parcel E is used as a staging area and temporary tractor trailer storage by Rooms to Go. The operations conducted at the property include waste recycling and automotive service and repair (this includes storage of petroleum and automotive fluids, parts cleaners, and active vehicle maintenance operations) Suspected contaminants at the site include chlorinated solvents and metals in soil and groundwater. Only a Phase 1 has been completed at the property. The proposed use of the property is to reposition the 2 existing warehouses for office, retail, and restaurant space. Additional retail is planned for other portions of the site along with approx. 300 apartments and structured and open parking. The estimated capital investment is $110,000,000. The construction of the proposed structures will create an expected 250 jobs and up to 500 permanent jobs. We are now evaluating Plan of Steel, LLC , and the subject property for eligibility for entry into the Brownfields Program. Under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act, only entities that did not cause or contribute to the contamination at the property are eligible to enter the program. The applicant PD listed below have asserted that: 1.) they have not caused or contributed to the contamination at the property, and 2.) they have substantially complied with laws, regulations, and rules for the protection of the environment. If you have any information to suggest otherwise, please provide that information to me at geof.little@ncdenr.gov and 919-707-8252 by November 4, 2016.

In fact, the BFA will require the developer to provide access to the property to any party doing work under any DEQ program. A BFA provides liability protection only to a non-causative redeveloper of the property. The developer will be required to make the property safe for its intended re-use. Cleanup to unrestricted use standards will not be required unless deemed necessary based on the developer's proposed use of the property. Furthermore, the BFA will not change the developer's responsibility to obtain any and all DEQ permits (e.g. storm water, sediment control, NPDES, etc.) as required under applicable law. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you, Geof ________________ Geoffrey H.
