We are now evaluating ATCO Investments LLC (ATCO) c/o Neil Adamson and the subject property for
eligibility for entry into the Brownfields Program. Rite Aid is currently utilizing the Statesville Avenue
property for warehouse and distribution but is in the process of vacating. The Statesville Avenue
property has also been utilized to manufacture Model T Fords (1924-1930s), as a storage depot for
the US Government (1940’s-1950’s), the production of Hercules missiles (1950’s-1960’s). The missile
facility was known as Charlotte Army Missile Plant (CAMP). Activities on the Statesville Avenue
property included: metal working, plating, degreasing, wastewater treatment, assembly, and
shipping of missiles. Since the late 1960’s, the property has been utilized by Eckerd/Rite Aid for
warehousing and distribution of commercial/retail items. The Graham Street property was utilized
for storage by the US Army beginning in the 1940s. From the 1950s through the late 1960s, the
Graham Street property was part of CAMP. Since the 1960s, the Graham Street property was
occupied by Greif Brothers Corporation (manufacturer of corrugated paper containers), for storage
by various entities including Pax Industries (shipping/transportation), and by a wood pallet
manufacturer. The properties have petroleum, chlorinated solvent, and SVOC contamination with
possibly more undetected contamination that H&H is currently investigating at the property. The
proposed reuse of the property is a mixed-use, transit-oriented development which may include
residential, commercial, retail, office, light industrial, and open space areas.

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 [e-mail] by October 17, 2016.

A Brownfields Agreement (BFA) has no legal effect on your agency's authority to regulate or
enforce against any and all parties who caused or contributed to the contamination at the
property. 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.
