6. For purposes of this Agreement, DEQ relies on the following representations by
Prospective Developer and DWM files as to use and ownership of the Brownfields Property:
a. The parcels located at 1776 Statesville Avenue (PINs 07903105 & 07903102)
are known as the “Rite Aid” property and collectively contain approximately 37 acres. This
property was initially developed in 1924 and has been used for industrial use since then. Prior
operations included manufacture of Model T Fords until approximately the 1930s. In the early-
1940s to the mid-1950s, the Brownfields Property was used as a storage depot for the United
States Government. In the mid-1950s to the late-1960, these parcels were used for the
production of Hercules missiles. The missile production facility was referred to as CAMP and
include adjacent parcels not included in this Agreement. Since the late 1960s, the Rite Aid
property has been used by Eckerd/Rite Aid for warehousing and distribution of commercial/retail
items. In 2016, Rite Aid vacated the property.
5
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
b. The Brownfields Property is developed with nine buildings. They are slab on
grade construction, except for the Boiler House Building which has a walk out basement.

c. The parcel located at 1701-1795 North Graham Street (PIN 07903103) is
known as the “MV Graham” property and contains approximately 12.5 acres. Historical uses
include storage by the US Army, beginning in the 1940s, and, from the 1950s to the late 1960s,
the manufacturer of missile components for the DOD as part of the CAMP facility. Since the
1960s, the MV Graham property was occupied by Greif Bros. Corporation (a manufacturer of
corrugated paper containers), was used for storage by various entities including Pax Industries
(shipping/transportation) and by a wood pallet manufacturer. The MV Graham property is
currently vacant.
d. The Prospective Developer is the current owner of the Brownfields Property.

Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
7. Pertinent environmental information regarding the Brownfields Property and
surrounding area includes the following:
a. In 1996, the COE requested access to the Brownfields Property to investigate
contamination and begin certain remedial activities on behalf of the DOD. Groundwater and soil
impacts were identified due to operations conducted during U.S. government ownership of the
site.
b. During the years of investigations, the COE has concluded that groundwater
contamination was from the chlorinated solvent, trichloroethylene (“TCE”) and its degradation
products, originating from historical governmental operations conducted at the site. The primary
source area for groundwater impacts has been determined to originate on the eastern end of
Building 2. Electroplating and degreasing operations were in the eastern end of Building 2. The
approximate extent of groundwater impacts on the Rite Aid property currently extends beneath
Buildings 1, 2, 48, and T-26. In 2005 and 2006, the COE performed pilot tests for a planned
chemical oxidation injection. The COE is in the process of addressing DEQ and stakeholder
comments associated with the planned remediation activities.
c. On the Rite Aid property, chrome plating operations were done in Buildings 1
and 2. Soil samples indicate hexavalent chromium and total chromium concentrations that
exceed the industrial/commercial exposures adjacent to a former plating pit located in Building
1. In 2005, soil samples collected from the base of the former piping pit of the electroplating
process in the western portion of Building 1 reported hexavalent chromium (7949 mg/kg) and
total chromium (80,000 mg/kg). Subsequent Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure
(“TCLP”) testing determined the soil to be a potential hazardous waste if removed. Historical
plating and degreasing activities have also occurred in Building 2. On May 6, 2016, ten soil
7
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
borings were advanced within the vicinity of the former electroplating and degreasing pits in
Building 1 and nine soil borings within the vicinity of the former electroplating and degreasing
pits in Building 2 to evaluate subsurface conditions for a release of solvent or chromic acid. In
Building 1, ten soil borings (SB-22 through 31) were advanced approximately 15 ft below the
ground surface. In Building 2, nine soil borings (SB-1 through SB-9) were advanced
approximately 15 ft below the ground surface. In Building 1, analytical results from the soil
sampling indicated that hexavalent chromium and TCE impacts in the soil were present above
Inactive Hazardous Site Branch (“IHSB”) industrial Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals
(“PSRGs”). In Building 2, analytical results indicated that TCE impacts in the soil were present
above industrial PSRGs. No hexavalent chromium was identified in the soil borings collected
from Building 2.
d. On the Rite Aid property, there are soil impacts west of Building 1. On March
24, 2016, a soil boring (SB-8) was advanced west of the former electroplating pit in Building 1
in a grassy area outside of the building. The soil boring was advanced to approximately 10 ft
below ground surface. Field screening detected elevated readings, visual staining and mild
petroleum odor was observed in the 8’ to 10’ interval. Analytical results determined that semi-
volatile organic compound (“SVOC”) impacts were detected above the IHSB residential
screening criteria for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (“PAHs”). The source of the
contamination has not been identified.
e. Shallow soil samples were collected on the Brownfields Property in 2016.
Concentrations of PAHs and metals, specifically arsenic and thallium, were detected above
Residential PSRGs. However, the concentrations were consistent with typical background levels
in six shallow soil samples. Concentrations of hexavalent chromium and lead were detected
8
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
above Residential PSRGs in sample SSB-10 located east of the Boiler House and near the water
tower. In addition, hexavalent chromium was detected above the Residential PSRG in sample
SSB-1 located south of the MV Graham building, but hexavalent chromium was not detected in
the duplicate of this sample. The hexavalent chromium and lead concentrations in these samples
did not exceed Industrial/Commercial PSRGs.
f. Due to high concentrations of chlorinated solvents in groundwater, the potential
for vapor intrusion was investigated with soil gas, sub-slab and indoor air sampling on the
Brownfields Property. In 2008, samples were collected in Building 1 and 48, the results
indicated compound concentrations above current Department of Waste Management (“DMW”)
Indoor Air Screening Levels (“IASLs”). The compounds detected above IASLs were TCE and
Tetrachloroethylene (“PCE”). PCE and TCE were not detected above IASLs in indoor air
samples collected in September of 2008.
g. In April 2016, twelve sub-slab soil vapor sampling points (SSV-1 through
SSV-12) to evaluate the possibility for vapor intrusion based on the previously delineated extent
of TCE groundwater impacts. Analytical results from the sub-slab soil vapor testing indicate that
TCE was detected above the NC DWM Vapor Intrusion Screening Criteria (“DWM VISL”) for
both non-residential and residential screening criteria in Buildings 1, and 2 and above residential
screening criteria in Building 48. Chloroform was detected in Building 1 above DWM VISL for
both non-residential and residential screening criteria and PCE was detected above residential
screening criteria.
h. On the Rite Aid property, Building 48 was historically used as an automotive
maintenance area. The original construction drawings depict a former in-ground hydraulic lift
and oil change pit. The in-ground lift and oil change pit have been abandoned by filling the voids
9
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
with concrete and fill material. Four soil borings (SB-10 through SB-13) were advanced to
approximately 15 ft below ground surface within the vicinity of the former in-ground lift and oil
change pit to evaluate subsurface conditions for a release of hydraulic oil and other petroleum
products. Analytical results indicate TCE impacts above IHSB Protection of Groundwater
(POG) and the soil-to-water Maximum Soil Contaminant Concentration (“MSCC”) in the soil
sample SB-10 collected adjacent to the former oil change pit.
i. A previously unknown underground storage tank (“UST”) basin, containing
eight (8) unregistered USTs presumed to have contained fuel oil, was discovered during a
subsurface investigation utilizing ground penetrating radar (“GPR”). The USTs were identified
adjacent to the southwestern corner of Building 48. The presence of fuel oil or other petroleum
products remaining in the USTs could not be confirmed due to a lack of accessible fill ports. In
May 2016, eight soil borings (SB-14 through SB-21) were advanced to approximately 15 ft
below ground surface within the vicinity of the UST basin to evaluate subsurface conditions for a
release of petroleum products. SB-18 was converted into a temporary monitor well (TMW-1)
and a groundwater sample was collected to determine if a petroleum release from the USTs has
infiltrated the downgradient shallow aquifer. Analytical results indicated that soil impacts for
volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) were detected above residential PSRGs and DEQ
MSCCs. A groundwater sample collected from TMW-1 indicated that benzene was detected
above the DEQ 2L Standard.
j. In June, September and December 2016, indoor air sampling events were
conducted to evaluate the potential for vapor intrusion in Buildings 1, 2, 48, and the former
Boiler House due to the presence of chlorinated solvent groundwater impacts at the Brownfields
Property. The data indicates that samples collected from the central and northern portions of
10
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
Building 1 contained concentrations of TCE above the DEQ residential and non-residential
IASLs. TCE was not detected above the residential IASL in the southern portion of Building 1,
or in Buildings 2, 48, and the former Boiler House. Acrolein was detected above the non-
residential IASL in 21 of the 23 sample locations and in the three background samples. Based
upon the lack of acrolein detected in SSV samples, the common occurrence of acrolein in
ambient and indoor air due to tobacco and petroleum product combustion, and the detection of
acrolein in the background samples, it appears that acrolein is not associated with vapor intrusion
from the sub-surface on the Rite Aid site.
k. The potential for vapor intrusion was investigated on the MV Graham property.
Four sub-slab vapor samples (MVSSV-1 through MVSSV-4) were collected from within the MV
Graham property building, and one soil gas sample (MVSSV-5) was collected outside and north
of this building. Acrolein was detected above the Residential SGSLs but below the Non-
Residential SGSL in the sub-slab samples collected below the MV Graham property building.
Results of cumulative risk calculations indicate that an HI of 1 was exceeded for the residential
exposure scenario.
8. The most recent environmental sampling at the Brownfields Property reported in the
Environmental Reports occurred on December 15, 2016. The tables set forth in Exhibit 2 to this
Agreement present contaminants present at the Brownfields Property above applicable standards
or screening levels for each media sampled.
9. For purposes of this Agreement DEQ relies on Prospective Developer’s
representations that Prospective Developer's involvement with the Brownfields Property has
been limited to obtaining or commissioning the Environmental Reports, preparing and
submitting to DEQ a Brownfields Property Application (“BPA”) dated July 11, 2016 and
11

16. The desired result of the above-referenced land use restrictions is to make the
Brownfields Property suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting
public health and the environment.
17. The guidelines, including parameters, principles and policies within which the
desired results are to be accomplished are, as to field procedures and laboratory testing, the
Guidelines of the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch of DEQ’s Superfund Section and the Division
of Waste Management Vapor Intrusion Guidance, as embodied in their most current version.
18. The consequence of achieving the desired results will be that the Brownfields
Property will be suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public
health and the environment. The consequence of not achieving the desired results will be that
modifications to land use restrictions and/or remediation in some form may be necessary to fully
25
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
protect public health and/or the environment.

caused or contributed to the contamination at the Brownfields Property.
IX. DEQ’S COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
25. Unless any of the following apply, Prospective Developer shall not be liable to DEQ,
and DEQ covenants not to sue Prospective Developer, for remediation of the Brownfields
Property except as specified in this Agreement:
a. The Prospective Developer fails to comply with this Agreement.
b. The activities conducted on the Brownfields Property by or under the control
or direction of the Prospective Developer increase the risk of harm to public health or the

the Brownfields Property, remediation of which is required by this Agreement, to the extent
necessary to eliminate such risk of harm to public health or the environment.
c. A land use restriction set out in the Notice of Brownfields Property required
under NCGS § 130A-310.35 is violated while the Prospective Developer owns the Brownfields
Property, in which case the Prospective Developer shall be responsible for remediation of the
Brownfields Property to unrestricted use standards.
d. The Prospective Developer knowingly or recklessly provided false information
that formed a basis for this Agreement or knowingly or recklessly offers false information to
demonstrate compliance with this Agreement or fails to disclose relevant information about
contamination at the Brownfields Property.

Agreement is amended to include any previously unreported contaminants and any additional
29
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
areas of contamination. If this Agreement sets maximum concentrations for contaminants, and
new information indicates the existence of previously unreported areas of these contaminants,
further remediation shall be required only if the areas of previously unreported contaminants
raise the risk of the contamination to public health or the environment to a level less protective of
public health and the environment than that required by this Agreement.
f. The level of risk to public health or the environment from contaminants is
unacceptable at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property due to changes in exposure
conditions, including (i) a change in land use that increases the probability of exposure to
contaminants at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property or (ii) the failure of remediation to
mitigate risks to the extent required to make the Brownfields Property fully protective of public
health and the environment as planned in this Agreement.
g. DEQ obtains new information about a contaminant associated with the
Brownfields Property or exposures at or around the Brownfields Property that raises the risk to
public health or the environment associated with the Brownfields Property beyond an acceptable
range and in a manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement.
h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of
Brownfields Property under NCGS § 130A-310.35.
26. Except as may be provided herein, DEQ reserves its rights against Prospective
Developer as to liabilities beyond the scope of the Act.
27. This Agreement does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain a permit,
license or certification, or to comply with any and all other applicable law, including the North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act, NCGS § 113A-1, et seq.
28. Consistent with NCGS § 130A-310.33, the liability protections provided herein, and
30
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
any statutory limitations in paragraphs 25 through 27 above, apply to all of the persons listed in
NCGS § 130A-310.33, including future owners of the Brownfields Property, to the same extent
as Prospective Developer, so long as these persons are not otherwise potentially responsible
parties or parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates of potentially responsible parties.
X. PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPER'S COVENANT NOT TO SUE
29. In consideration of DEQ’s Covenant Not To Sue in Section IX of this Agreement
and in recognition of the absolute State immunity provided in NCGS § 130A-310.37(b), the

31. Prospective Developer and DEQ agree that this Agreement meets the requirements of
the Act, including but not limited to the requirements set forth in NCGS § 130A-310.32(a)(2).
However, this Agreement in no way constitutes a finding by DEQ as to the risks to public health
and the environment which may be posed by regulated substances at the Brownfields Property, a
representation by DEQ that the Brownfields Property is fit for any particular purpose, nor a
waiver of Prospective Developer’s duty to seek applicable permits or of the provisions of NCGS
31
Rite Aid/20050-16-060 (DRAFT 20170821)
§ 130A-310.37.
32. Except for the land use restrictions set forth in paragraph 15.a above and NCGS §
130A-310.33(a)(1)-(5)'s provision of the Act's liability protection to certain persons to the same
extent as to a prospective developer, no rights, benefits or obligations conferred or imposed upon
Prospective Developer under this Agreement are conferred or imposed upon any other person.
XIII. DOCUMENT RETENTION
33. The Prospective Developer agrees to retain and make available to DEQ all business
and operating records, contracts, site studies and investigations, remediation reports, and
