(AMEC) is pleased to report the findings of the sub- slab soil vapor sampling performed at 1906 Bancroft Street in Charlotte, North Carolina (Site). The purpose of this sampling was to determine if gases volatilizing from potentially impacted shallow groundwater may be adversely impacting indoor air quality in the on-site structures. This investigation was completed in accordance to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Waste Management (DWM) Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) guidance. The investigation concluded that the sub- slab vapor survey did not identify adverse risk to Site occupants in a slab-on-grade structure based on the IHSB Industrial/Commercial (i.e., non-residential) Site use. Should you have any questions regarding this assessment report, please contact Stephen Cline at (610) 828-8100. Respectfully Submitted, AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. Steven Tanen Stephen P.

(AMEC) was retained by Transport International Pool, Inc. (TFS) to conduct an indoor vapor assessment for the property located at 1906 Bancroft Street in Charlotte, North Carolina (Figure 1) (the “Site”). This TFS property consists of approximately 7.93 acres and is improved with a 3,750 square foot slab-on-grade shop building. 1.1 Background TFS owns but no longer occupies the Site, which is currently vacant. TFS used the Site from 1986 to 2011 as a branch location for the leasing, parking, storage, and minor repair of over- the-road trailers. Prior to 1986 the property was undeveloped woodland. The general layout of the Site while it was operational is shown on Figure 2. The Site is located in an area with mixed industrial and commercial use, with several industrial and commercial establishments located within a half mile both north and west of the Site. Residential properties are located southwest of the property. A number of the upgradient industrial/commercial properties have a history of solvent use and confirmed impacts to soil and groundwater. based on a search of environmental databases and review of readily available reports. Phase II investigations completed at the Site by AMEC for TFS did not detect any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil other than acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Both compounds were detected at estimated concentrations and below NCDENR Soil Remediation Goals. Neither acetone nor MEK were detected in groundwater and both were identified as likely laboratory and/or sample preservations artifacts and, therefore, judged not to be representative of actual Site conditions. However, the same investigations revealed impacts to Site groundwater in the southern portion of the parcel at both the upgradient and downgradient Site boundaries from chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA), 1,1- dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), cis-1,2-Dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE), trans-1,2-dichloroethene (trans-1,2-DCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). The compounds carbon tetrachloride, 1,1-DCE, PCE and TCE were detected at concentrations above the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) 2L Groundwater Quality Standards. Results from groundwater testing are provided in Table 1 and groundwater sampling locations are shown on Figure 3. These results appear to be due to releases from an upgradient source, which has had documented use and confirmed releases of such solvents. Due to identified groundwater impacts at the Site within 100 feet of the on-site shop building, TFS authorized collection of sub-slab soil vapor samples from beneath that building to determine if gases volatizing from impacted shallow groundwater may be impacting indoor air quality. The following sections summarize the activities completed with regard to the vapor sampling and the results obtained from those activities. Results of Sub-slab Vapor Sampling TFS Charlotte Branch 1906 Bancroft Street, Charlotte, North Carolina -2- 2.0 SAMPLING ACTIVITIES The Site consists of a slab on grade shop building (”shop”) (Figure 2), which covers approximately 3,750 square feet. Prior to any sub-slab sampling, North Carolina One-Call was notified in accordance with State requirements and utilities marked (ticket confirmation number: A122231658). Four sub-slab vapor samples (SS-1 through SS-4) were collected inside of the shop, along with one duplicate sample (SS-5) for sample SS-1. The building was gridded into four sections with one sample collected from each section. Sample locations are shown on Figure 2. All sub-slab vapor samples were collected from immediately beneath the concrete slab inside the building (Figure 4). A small hole was bored through the concrete floor and then inert 0.170 x 0.25-inch polyethylene tubing equipped with a sterile stainless steel screen covering its orifice was installed in the borehole within two inches of the bottom of the slab. Sand-sized glass beads were used as backfill material to fill the sampling area to a depth such that the bottom one inch of the tubing was covered. The remaining space within the hole was filled with volatile organic carbon (VOC)-free bentonite pellets, which were then hydrated to seal the tubing in place and to isolate the sample point from ambient air conditions within the shop. The remaining annulus was filled with grout to the top of the floor slab. Once the grout had set, the tubing was purged to remove air introduced to the sub-slab airspace during concrete boring and tubing installation, as well as the ambient air within the tubing. One liter of air was purged using a peristaltic pump prior to sampling. In order to minimize ambient air intrusion, air flow was maintained at a rate below 200 milliliters per minute during purging. After purging, the tubing was immediately connected to a batch certified 1-liter summa canister for air collection. The sample was collected with a flow controller that regulated air flow to fill the summa canister at a constant rate over a 30 minute period. The summa canister identification number, sampler identification number, pump start and end time, and the starting and ending summa canister vacuums were recorded (Table 2). For one sample (SS-1), helium was employed as a tracer gas to provide a means of assessing whether air from above the slab was able to pass through the bentonite seal during sampling. To achieve this, a plastic bag filled with helium was placed over the tubing and borehole throughout the sampling period. Photographs of the sampling activities are provided in Appendix A. The samples were transported under strict chain-of-custody protocol to Air Toxics, Ltd., of Folsom, California, for analysis of United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method TO-15 constituents (carbon tetrachloride, chloroethane, chloroform, chloromethane, 1,1-DCA, 1,1-DCE, cis-1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, ethanol, methylene chloride, PCE, TCE, 1,1,1- trichloroethane and vinyl chloride). Following sample collection, the slab was repaired with cement grout. Results of Sub-slab Vapor Sampling TFS Charlotte Branch 1906 Bancroft Street, Charlotte, North Carolina -3- The sampling event was conducted in accordance with the NCDENR procedures presented in the document Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Structural Vapor Intrusion Potential for Site Assessments and Remedial Actions Under the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, dated June 21, 2011. Results of Sub-slab Vapor Sampling TFS Charlotte Branch 1906 Bancroft Street, Charlotte, North Carolina -4- 3.0 ANALYTICAL RESULTS 3.1 Sub-slab Air Sampling Results Analytical results were reported in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) and have been compared to the NCDENR Division of Waste Management (DWM) Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) Industrial/Commercial soil gas screening levels. PCE was present in each sub- slab sample at concentrations below the PCE IHSB soil gas industrial/commercial screening level (350 µg/m3). Reported concentrations for PCE ranged from 18 to 230 µg/m3 with the highest concentration detected in sample SS-2. Sample SS-2 was located in the western quadrant of the Site building. No other constituents were detected. Sub-slab sampling results are presented in Table 3 and are summarized on Figure 5. Sample SS-5 was collected as a duplicate of SS-1 to assess the overall precision and reproducibility of data as it pertains to both field collection methods and laboratory analysis. These samples exhibited PCE concentrations of 62 µg/m3 (SS-1) and 64 µg/m3 (SS-5), respectively. The calculated relative percent difference (RPD) between the two samples is 3.1- percent. An RPD of less than 10-percent indicates a good correlation between the two samples and these results are within an acceptable range of accuracy. The laboratory analytical report and chain-of-custody documentation are included in Appendix B. 3.2 Risk Calculations As stated above, PCE was present at concentrations below its respective soil gas industrial/commercial screening level, 350 µg/m3. This screening level is based on a carcinogenic target risk of 1 x 10-5 and a hazard index (HI) of 0.2. These values include a safety factor to account for the synergistic effect of an additional four VOCs. For additional comparison, AMEC calculated the cumulative risk associated with each of the samples based on PCE only (i.e., the only compound detected). The concentrations were compared to USEPA Regional Screening Levels (RSL) for Industrial Air (April 2012). The RSLs are based on Carcinogenic Target Risk of 10-6 and non-cancer HI of 1. The risk based calculations are provided in Appendix C and summarized below. When evaluating soil gas and sub-slab sampling results at commercial/industrial sites, a 90 fold attenuation factor is applied to account for the concrete slab material which impedes the upward movement of the vapors1. This 100 fold attenuation factor was applied so the results could be compared to indoor air vapor standards. These calculation tables are provided in Appendix C. The risk calculations for PCE indicate that, at the highest concentration observed (230 µg/m3 PCE in sample SS-2), the cumulative risk value, when the 100 fold attenuation factor is applied, is less than 10-8 with a hazard index of 0.01. 1 USEPA Vapor Intrusion Guidance, December 13, 2012 Results of Sub-slab Vapor Sampling TFS Charlotte Branch 1906 Bancroft Street, Charlotte, North Carolina -5- 4.0 SUMMATION Sub-slab samples were collected at four locations beneath the at-grade floor slab in the shop. The samples were collected to evaluate the potential for vapor intrusion from groundwater into the building. The VOCs detected in groundwater at the Site were not detected in Site soils. Acetone and MEK were detected in Site soils at estimated concentrations and were judged to be likely laboratory and/or sample preservation artifacts. The results showed that each sub-slab vapor sample exhibited PCE at a concentration below its IHSB soil gas industrial/commercial screening level, but above its method detection limit. No other VOCs were detected in the samples collected. The sub-slab results were also compared to USEPA RSLs for Industrial Air. The RSLs are based on a Carcinogenic Target Risk of 10-6 and non-cancer HI of 1. When considering a 100 fold attenuation factor to account for the concrete slab, in order to compare the Site results to indoor air vapor standards, the Carcinogenic Target Risk is 10-8 and the HI is 0.01. Based on the sub-slab vapor sampling results from this investigation, additional air sampling within the shop building is not warranted as the observed concentrations pose no adverse risk to building occupants. The sub-slab vapor survey did not identify adverse risk to Site occupants in a slab-on-grade structure based on the IHSB Industrial/Commercial (i.e., non-residential) Site use.

The laboratory performed analysis via Modified ASTM Method D-1946 for Helium in air using GC/TCD. The method involves direct injection of 1.0 mL of sample. Method modifications taken to run these samples are summarized in the table below. Specific project requirements may over-ride the ATL modifications. Requirement ATL ModificationsASTM D-1946 Calibration A single point calibration is performed using a reference standard closely matching the composition of the unknown. A 3-point calibration curve is performed. Quantitation is based on a daily calibration standard which may or may not resemble the composition of the associated samples. Reference Standard The composition of any reference standard must be known to within 0.01 mol % for any component. The standards used by ATL are blended to a >/= 95% accuracy. Sample Injection Volume Components whose concentrations are in excess of 5 % should not be analyzed by using sample volumes greater than 0.5 mL. The sample container is connected directly to a fixed volume sample loop of 1.0 mL on the GC. Linear range is defined by the calibration curve. Bags are loaded by vacuum. Normalization Normalize the mole percent values by multiplying each value by 100 and dividing by the sum of the original values. The sum of the original values should not differ from 100% by more than 1.0%. Results are not normalized. The sum of the reported values can differ from 100% by as much as 15%, either due to analytical variability or an unusual sample matrix. Precision Precision requirements established at each concentration level. Duplicates should agree within 25% RPD for detections > 5 X's the RL. Receiving Notes There were no receiving discrepancies. There were no analytical discrepancies.
