Subject:Brownfields Program Initial Notification - Caroline Courtyard, LLC of The BTR Communities Group, LLC
Date:Thursday, January 08, 2015 5:55:59 PM
To DENR Cleanup Programs:
This is an internal courtesy notice to inform your program that the DENR Brownfields Program is in
receipt of a Brownfields Property Application (BPA), submitted by Caroline Courtyard, LLC of The
BTR Communities Group, LLC as prospective developer (PD), seeking entry into the brownfields
program for the following undeveloped property:
Site Name: Caroline Courtyard
Address: 9.77 Acres on N. Generals Boulevard
City/County/Zip Lincolnton, Lincoln County 28092 (across N. Generals Blvd [to SW] from former
“General Marble” site)
Parcel #: 21103
AKA: _Give other regulatory site name(s), if applicable:
Known Identifying Numbers:
NCD#: NA
GW Incident #: NA
BF Number: 19001-15-055
Others?
Comment: Site groundwater apparently impacted by releases from off-site, upgradient sources,
including the former General Marble.
We are now evaluating Caroline Courtyard, LLC of The BTR Communities Group, LLC and the subject
property(s) 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 below has asserted that 1) it has not caused or
contributed to the contamination at the property, and 2) that it has 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 (via the contact information at the
bottom of this notice) by Thursday, January 22, 2015.

Information regarding the applicant Caroline Courtyard, LLC of The BTR Companies, LLC, including
the primary PD contact person, is as follows:
PD:
William B. Scantland
Caroline Courtyard, LLC of
The BTR Communities Group, LLC
1220 Arboretum Drive
Lewisville, NC 27023-8658
[e-mail] 336-460-1580

It is important to note that 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. A BFA only provides liability protection to a non-causative
redeveloper of the property. In fact, the BFA will require the developer to provide access to the
property to any party doing work under another DENR program, and the Brownfields Program
has several sites where another program is enforcing against a responsible party while we are
working with the developer on brownfields actions. The developer will only be required to make
the property safe for its intended re-use. That will not include cleanup to unrestricted use
standards, unless that is consistent with the developer's proposed use of the property.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks very much for your help.
