The manufacturing facility was constructed on the property in four stages between 1966 and 197 4. Between the date of construction and 1998, the facility was occupied by Hamilton Beach I Proctor Silex and used to assemble small appliances. Hamilton Beach continued to occupy a small portion of the facility for more administrative uses, including as a call center, until 2008. The facility was occupied by Impressions Marketing Group, Inc. starting in 2001 . In 2013, idX Impressions. LLC purchased substantially all of the assets of Impressions Marketing Group and continued its operations at the facility. Those operations consist of assembling display cases, shelving units, counter units and other fixtures for use in retail stores. The facility also houses project management and other personnel responsible for the work produced there. All materials used in the assembly process are delivered to the site and no raw material manufacturing or processing activities are performed on the site. The assembly process uses water-based glue and spray cleaners, and the only hazardous materials used are incidential quantities of paint, lacquer and lacquer thinner used 9 for assembly of specialty items. Limited quantities of hydraulic fluid and oil are used to operate and maintain machinery used at the facility. II. SITE INFORMATION A.

Regulatory Agency Involvement: List the site names and all identifying numbers (ID No.) previously or currently assigned by any federal, state or local environmental regulatory agencies for the property. The ID No's may include CERCLIS numbers, RCRA generator numbers for past and present operations, UST database, Division of Water Quality's incident management database, and/or Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch inventory numbers. (In many instances, the PD will need to actively seek out this information by reading environmental site assessment reports, reviewing government files, contacting government officials, and through the use of government databases, many of which may be available over the internet.)

Facility ID's indicated as NONCD 0001814 and 14338 Agency Name/ID No: Agency Name/ID No: C. In what way(s) is the property abandoned. idled, or underused? 10 Neither Impressions Marketing Group nor idX Impressions has been willing as a lessee to invest the funds necessary to keep the facility up to current industry standards. Add itionally, portions of the property are unusable due to monitoring wells and residual contamination . D. In what way(s) is the actual or possible contamination at the property a hindrance to development or redevelopment of the property (attach anv supporting documentation such as letters from lending institutions)? PD and idX Impressions would like to purchase the property and invest approximately $1 ,800,000 in building improvements and equipment upgrades. However, this investment would not be possible without the protection that entry into the Brownfields Program would provide. In addition to concerns about liability as an owner of the property, PD's lenders will not fund the purchase of the property or the improvements without entry into the Brownfields Program. PD's plans do not currently include expansion beyond the footprint of the existing building; however, any such expansion in the future could, at that time, expose soil and shallow groundwater contamination and require remediation of soil and groundwater, installation of engineering controls, and possibly recordation of institutional controls. E. In what way(s) is the redevelopment of the property difficult or impossible without a brownfields agreement (attach anv supporting documentation such as letters form lending institutions)? As indicated above, PD will not improve the facility without entry into the Brownfields Program, due to environmental liability concerns and funding difficulties. F. What are the planned use(s) of the redeveloped brownfields property to which the PD will commit? Be as specific as specific as possible. PD intends to expand its fixture assembly operations at the property by investing approximately $1,800,000 in equipment purchases and building improvements. G. Current tax value of brownfields property: $2,896,062 H. Estimated capital investment in redevelopment project: $2,550,000 I. List and describe the public benefits that will result from the property's redevelopment. Be as specific as possible. (Examples of public benefits for brownfields projects include job creation, tax base increases, revitalization of blighted areas, preserved green space, preserved historic places, improving disadvantaged neighborhood quality-of-life related retail shopping opportunities, affordable housing, environmental cleanup activities or set asides that have community or environmental benefits. In gauging public benefit, NCBP places great value upon letters of support from community groups and local government that describe anticipated improvements in quality of life for neighboring communities that the project will bring about. The inclusion of such support letters with this application is recommended and encouraged.) If PD is unable to purchase and redevelop this facility due to environmental liability concerns, it will have to consider moving its operations to one of idX' facilities in a different state. The Springs Rd. facility currently employs approximately 140 individuals on a full time equivalent 11 basis. The planned improvements to this facility should result in the addition of approximately 103 full time jobs . Failure to enter into the Brownfields Program would jeopardize all 243 of these jobs. Additionally, no real estate taxes are currently being paid on the property because it is owned by the City of Washington. If PD purchases the property, PD will pay real estate taxes and those taxes will be assessed at an increased valuation due to the redevelopment of the property. The community benefits of the redevelopment are further evidenced by the letter of support sent to DENR by the City of Washington. Special Note: Please describe all environment-friendly technologies and designs PD plans to utilize in its redevelopment strategy. For example, environment friendly redevelopment plans could include: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification, green building materials; green landscaping techniques such as using drought resistant plants; energy efficient designs, materials, appliances, machinery, etc.; renewable sources of energy, and/or recycling/reuse of old building materials such as brick or wood. The intended building renovations will make use of various environmentally friendly technologies and designs. New equipment will be more energy efficient than the current equipment. J.
