Subject: Annual Sampling Required by Land Use Restriction (LUR)
Notice of Brownfields Property
Brown’s Solvent Co., 2935 Griffith Street
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County
Brownfields Project No. 05006-01-060

Dear Mr. McCleneghan:

On February 17, 2010, the North Carolina Brownfields Program received a written request
from MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc, on behalf of current owner, Mr. Frank
McCleneghan, for the above reference brownfields site. The request was to eliminate the sampling
requirement in LUR No. 13 in the Notice of Brownfields Property. The Notice was recorded on
May 20, 2004 at the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds, Book 17225, Page 171-199, by the
Estate of Katherine C Bell.

In the Notice, LUR No. 13 states the following:

13. Unless and until DENR approves their abandonment pursuant to the next land use
restriction, the groundwater monitoring wells denominated MW-1 (in the former UST basin) and
MW-4 (northwest and downgradient of the former UST basin) on the plat component of the
Notice of Brownfields Property referenced in paragraph 16 below shall be properly maintained,
and shall, in alternating years commencing with the year this Agreement becomes effective, be
sampled, by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 8260, for toluene. If the sampling
results for toluene are below the applicable gross contamination level of 257,000 ug/L contained
in the Guidelines for Assessment and Corrective Action of DENR’s Underground Storage Tank
Section for two consecutive sampling events, the then current owner of each affected portion of
the Property may request in writing that DENR terminate the sampling requirement.

In April 2010, DENR hereby approved your request to cease groundwater sampling as contaminant
levels have remain steady or decreased. In October 2013, the monitoring wells were abandoned and
documentation submitted to DENR in accordance with LUR 14. Be advised that the current owner
is still required to submit an annual LUR Update, but the sampling is no longer required. Please
refer to this correspondence in future LUR Updates.

If you have questions about this correspondence or require additional information, please feel
free to contact, our Brownfields Compliance Coordinator, David Peacock at 910/796-7401,
[e-mail], or myself at 704/661-0330, [e-mail].

Sincerely,
Carolyn Minnich
