Bill, 

Nice speaking with you yesterday.  

Per your email below and our conversation yesterday, we have made the requested edit to the REEP‐LRC Project 
EMP.  Please see the last section on pg 11 of the attached EMP Form to review the edit.  

If everything looks good to you, please sign and return the EMP and then we will sign on our end.  

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [External] Draft EMP Revision 1 ‐ REEP‐LRC Project 1 ‐ 1900 Continental Blvd ‐ Charlotte 

Matt,
The revised EMP is approved with the following exception:

1) The following statement will be deleted from the EMP: “no vapor intrusion mitigation is warranted for the
future warehouse building”
2

Site assessment activities are ongoing. Based on the results from site assessment activities, sub-slab soil gas
sampling may be required after construction to validate that mitigation measures will not be necessary.

The approved EMP applies to site grading and excavation activities. An amended EMP will be required to
address any vapor mitigation measures related to new building construction, if needed.

Please forward the revised EMP to me with the requested change above for signature. Let me know if you have
any questions.

Regards

Bill,  

Thanks for providing your responses on the EMP for the REEP‐LRC site.  The revised EMP is attached for your 
review and approval. Because the EMP template form does not allow for track changes, I will include replies to 
each of your comments to the original EMP in a separate email to be sent shortly. In general, the revisions 
were made as you requested (denoted as “changes made” in our comment responses). However, please note 
that on Pg. 11, while we did add language that indicated additional groundwater sampling would be 
conducted to evaluate the potential for TCE in groundwater (per your request), we  elected to retain the 
statement “no vapor intrusion mitigation is warranted for the future warehouse building” since previous soil 
gas sampling conducted in the footprint of the building (including the southeast corner) confirm and support 
this conclusion.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss these changes further.  

Thanks, 
Matt
