Hi Carolyn,
DWQ-APS refers to this site as the “Former PCA Facility” and references it with GW incident #88165.
This site was granted a NFA in December 2011 though there is some evidence of residual silver in
soils below the building. They took several steps to demonstrate that the silver was immobile. We
dealt with CPI Corp of St. Louis as the RP; I don’t have any knowledge of Matthews Property I or
Harris Teeter Properties. If you need any info from our files, let me know.

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 Matthews Property 1, LLC as
prospective developer (PD), seeking entry into the brownfields program for the following property:
Site Name: PCA International
Address: 815 Matthews-Mint Hill Road.
City/County/Zip: Matthews, Mecklenburg 28105
AKA: _Give other regulatory site name(s), if applicable_
Known Identifying Numbers:
NCD#: NCD049769888
GW Incident #: none
BF Number: 16036-12-060
Others? NCR000144667; UST 6807
We are now evaluating Matthews Property 1, LLC and the subject property for eligibility for entry
into the Brownfields Program. Matthews Property 1, LLC is owned by Harris Teeter Properties, LLC.
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 Wednesday, September 5, 2012.
Information regarding the applicant PD, Matthews Property 1, LLC or Harris Teeter Properties, LLC
including the primary PD contact person, is as follows:
PD:
Scott L. Wippel, Matthews Property 1, LLC (Harris Teeter Properties, LLC)
swipple@harristeeter.com; 704-844-3910
PD Contact:
Amanda Short, McGuireWoods, LLP
Ashort@mcguirewoods.com; 704-343-2359
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.
