The Site consists of two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 18.5 acres of land located in an industrial and commercial area northeast of Uptown Charlotte. The Site is developed with three primary manufacturing buildings ranging from approximately 4,900 square foot (sq ft) to 48,000 sq ft. There are also multiple smaller ancillary structures located on the subject Site. Remaining portions of the Site consist primarily of gravel-covered storage areas. A Site location map is provided as Figure 1, and the Site and surrounding area are shown in Figure 2. The Site was predominantly undeveloped wooded land until the 1950s when the Site was developed with concrete manufacturing buildings. The Site was operated as a concrete manufacturing facility by multiple tenants including Exposaic Industries, Inc. from the early to mid-1950s until approximately 1997. The Site has most recently been occupied by the Metromont Corporation (Metromont) for structural pre-cast concrete manufacturing operations. However, Metromont operations are currently being decommissioned and the Site is predominantly unoccupied with only limited Metromont employees on-Site completing pre- existing orders for pre-cast concrete building materials. H&H has reviewed available reports documenting environmental assessment activities previously completed at the Site by others. A summary of our review is provided in Section 1.1 and Section 1.2 below. 2 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc 1.1 Historical Underground Storage Tank Assessment Activities H&H reviewed available environmental assessment reports documenting underground storage tank (UST) closure and subsequent assessment activities previously completed at the Site by others. A brief summary of the previous UST reports is provided below:  A UST Closure Report prepared by Trigon Engineering Consultants, Inc. (Trigon) on September 15, 1995 indicates that the previous occupant, Exposaic Industries, Inc. operations included use of the following USTs: o Tank No. 1 – 8,000-gallon diesel UST installed in April 1960 o Tank No. 2 – 8,000-gallon gasoline UST installed in April 1975 o Tank No.3 – 8,000-gallon fuel oil UST installed in April 1962 o Tank No. 4 – 6,000-gallon fuel oil UST installed in April 1954 Information provided in the UST Closure Report indicates that Trigon removed Tank No. 1, Tank No. 2, and Tank No. 3 in August 1995. Tank No. 4 was closed in-place by filling the UST with concrete due to inaccessibility for heavy machinery needed to remove the tank. Locations of the former USTs and the abandoned UST are shown on Figure 2. Laboratory analytical results of UST closure soil samples indicated that total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel range organics (TPH-DRO) was detected above the laboratory reporting limits in soil samples collected beneath the Tank No. 3 fuel oil UST (274 milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg]) and beneath the Tank No. 2 gasoline UST dispenser system (761 mg/kg). TPH concentrations were not detected above the laboratory reporting limits for closure soil samples collected for the remaining USTs. However, at the time of the UST closure activities, Trigon excavated approximately 25 cubic yards of potentially impacted soil from the Tank No. 1 diesel UST basin and approximately 5 cubic yards of potentially impacted soil from the Tank No. 2 gasoline UST dispenser system area. The potentially impacted soil was stockpiled on-Site for off-Site disposal.  H&H reviewed a Phase III Groundwater Assessment report prepared by J.L. Rodgers and Callcott Engineers, Inc. (R&C) and dated in May 1996. The Phase III environmental 3 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc assessment activities were completed to evaluate the potential for groundwater impacts in areas of concern identified in previously completed Phase I and Phase II assessments. H&H was not provided copies of the Phase I or Phase II reports for review. Information provided in the Phase III report indicates that three permanent groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3) were installed at the Site in 1995 during Phase II assessment activities. Subsequent Phase III assessment activities consisted of installation of two additional permanent groundwater monitoring wells (MW-4 and MW-5) and collection of groundwater samples for laboratory analysis from the five on-Site monitor wells. Locations of the Phase II and Phase III monitoring wells are shown in Figure 2 and were installed in the following locations: o Monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-2 were installed adjacent to the Tank No. 4 fuel oil UST that was closed in-place with concrete; o Monitoring well MW-3 was installed in the vicinity of the Tank No. 1 diesel UST; o Monitoring well MW-4 was installed in the area of historical acid wash operations in the northeastern portion of the Site; and o Monitoring well MW-5 was installed in the area of Tank No. 3 fuel oil UST. On July 22, 1996, groundwater samples were collected from each of the five monitoring wells and submitted for laboratory analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Acid/Base Neutral Extractables. Laboratory analytical results indicated that naphthalene (22 micrograms per liter [µg/L]), 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (11 µg/L), and 2- methylnaphthalene (25 µg/L) were detected above the laboratory reporting limits in the MW-1 groundwater sample. The naphthalene concentration exceeded the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) 2L Groundwater Quality Standard (2L Standard) of 6 µg/L. No other compounds were detected above the 2L Standards in the MW-1 groundwater sample. No compounds were detected above the 2L Standards in the MW-2 through MW-5 groundwater samples. Based on results of the UST closure activities completed at the Site by Trigon and the 4 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc subsequent assessment activities completed at the Site by R&C, DEQ has not provided regulatory closure for the Exposaic release incident (Incident No. 15459). Based on conversations with DEQ UST Section personnel, a Phase I Limited Site Assessment (LSA) is needed to evaluate risks and request regulatory closure for the releases identified at the Site in the areas of the removed USTs (Tank No. 1 through Tank No. 3) and closed in-place UST (Tank No. 4). 1.2 Recent Environmental Assessment Activities H&H reviewed the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report prepared for the Site by ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) and dated February 12, 2018. ESC completed soil and groundwater sampling activities at the Site to evaluate the potential for impacts associated with environmental concerns identified during Phase I ESA activities. H&H was not provided a copy of the ECS Phase I ESA report for review. However, information provided in the Phase II ESA report indicates that results of the Phase I ESA identified several potential environmental concerns in connection with the Site including the following:  ESC identified on-Site potential environmental concerns associated with historical acid wash runoff, the open UST release incident, and staining on concrete floors within the manufacturing building located in the northern portion of the Site.  ECS identified off-Site potential environmental concerns for the Site including the nearby leaking UST (LUST) incident at the Tarmac Virginia Inc. property located south- southwest of the Site, the reported USTs located on the west adjacent Concrete Supply Co. property, and the former Tryon Mall Cleaning dry-cleaning operations located southeast of the Site. In April 2018, ECS collected four (4) soil samples (SB-1, SB-3, SB-5, and SB-6) and three (3) groundwater samples (GW-1, GW-4, and GW-6) for laboratory analysis to evaluate the potential for impact in areas of concern identified during the Phase I ESA activities. The soil samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO and TPH as gasoline range organics (TPH- 5 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc GRO). The groundwater samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-VOCs (SVOCs). In addition to the groundwater samples collected for laboratory analysis, five (5) groundwater samples were collected in the area of the acid wash operations (Figure 2) and analyzed in the field for pH. ECS Phase II ESA soil and groundwater sample locations are shown on Figure 2. A summary of the Phase II ESA soil and groundwater sampling results is provided below:  Soil sample laboratory analytical results did not identify TPH at concentrations exceeding the DEQ UST Section Action Levels in any of the Phase II ESA samples collected at the Site.  Groundwater sample laboratory analytical results indicate that several VOCs were detected above the laboratory reporting limits in the GW-1 groundwater sample collected in the northwestern portion of the Site (Figure 2). The compounds cis-1,2-dichloroethene (170 µg/L), trichloroethene or TCE (24 µg/L), and vinyl chloride (3.3 µg/L) were detected at concentrations exceeding the 2L Standards of 70 µg/L, 3.0 µg/L, and 0.03 µg/L, respectively. In addition, the TCE and vinyl chloride concentrations detected in the GW-1 groundwater sample exceed the DEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) Residential Vapor Intrusion Groundwater Screening Levels (GWSLs) of 1.0 µg/L and 1.5 µg/L, respectively. The TCE concentration also exceeds the Non-Residential GWSL of 4.4 µg/L. No other VOCs were detected above the 2L Standards or GWSLs in the GW-1 groundwater sample. No VOCs were detected above the 2L Standards in any of the other groundwater samples collected at the Site. No SVOCs were detected above the laboratory reporting limits in any of the groundwater samples collected at the Site.  pH field measurements of groundwater samples collected in the area of the acid wash operations indicate that pH is within the expected range of 6.5 standard units (SU) and 8.5 SU for each groundwater sample with the exception of groundwater sample GW-13 collected northwest of the acid wash station. Field measurements indicate that pH (9.25 SU) in groundwater northwest of acid wash operation area is slightly higher than the 6 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc expected range (i.e., more basic than acidic). Based on results of the ECS groundwater assessment activities, groundwater in the northwestern portion of the Site is impacted with chlorinated solvent compounds at concentrations above the DEQ 2L Standards and the DWM Vapor Intrusion GWSLs. The Site received eligibility into the DEQ Brownfields Program via a Letter of Eligibility dated July 6, 2018. The PD elected to participate in the Brownfields Program Redevelopment Now option. As part of this process, a kick-off/data gap meeting with PD, DEQ Brownfields personnel, and H&H was held on September 20, 2018 to discuss historical uses of the Site, available environmental information, proposed redevelopment plans, data gaps, and the proposed schedule for completing the Brownfields Agreement. The PD plans to redevelop the Metromont Concrete Facility Brownfields property for mixed retail and high-density residential uses. The proposed redevelopment plan is shown in Figure 3. Based on the redevelopment plan for the Site and conversations with DEQ Brownfields during the recent data gap meeting, H&H proposes to conduct Brownfields soil, groundwater, and soil gas assessment activities at the Site to further evaluate the potential for impacts. In addition, H&H proposes to collect background soil samples to establish Site-specific ranges for naturally occurring metals. H&H will also conduct receptor survey activities in the area surrounding the Site as part of the proposed assessment. In addition to Brownfields assessment activities, H&H will complete soil and groundwater sampling activities in the areas of the former USTs and the abandoned fuel oil UST. The UST soil and groundwater sampling will be completed in accordance with the DEQ UST Section Guidelines for completion of a Phase I LSA. The purpose of the Phase I LSA activities is to further evaluate subsurface conditions in the areas of the former USTs and the abandoned fuel oil UST to obtain risk-based regulatory closure through the DEQ UST Section. The proposed scope of work for the UST-related assessment activities are outlined in Section 2.0, and the proposed scope of work for the Brownfields assessment activities is provided in Section 3.0. 7 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc 2.0 Proposed UST Assessment Activities The proposed UST assessment activities will be performed in general accordance with the DEQ UST Section Guidelines for Assessment and Corrective Action (UST Guidelines) and the most recent versions of the U.S EPA Region IV Science and Ecosystem Support Division (SESD) Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures. Prior to conducting field activities, H&H will contact North Carolina 811, the public utility locator, to mark subsurface utilities located on the Site. H&H will also contract with a private utility locator to screen proposed sample locations for subgrade utilities that may not be marked by the public locator. Additionally, soil boring locations will be hand cleared to approximately 5 feet (ft) below the ground surface (bgs) prior to use of mechanical drilling equipment to further screen the boring locations for the presence of subsurface utilities. In accordance with Mecklenburg County rules, H&H will also obtain a Subsurface Investigation Permit (SIP) from Mecklenburg County prior to temporary monitoring well installation and sampling. After completion of the activities, H&H will update the SIP on the Mecklenburg County Well Information database with North Carolina licensed driller temporary monitoring well abandonment records. 2.1 Receptor Survey H&H will perform a receptor survey in accordance with UST Guidelines and DEQ Brownfields Program guidance. The receptor survey will include information about land use in the Site area including zoning. H&H will also conduct a field search for water supply wells, basements, utility manways and chases, storm sewers, other underground utilities, drains, and surface water within a 1,500 ft radius of the Brownfield property boundaries. In addition, H&H will review the online Mecklenburg County Well Information System for potential wells in the area and, if warranted, contact utility companies for information concerning underground utilities in the immediate area of the Site. For Brownfields purposes, the receptor survey will be completed using the most current version of the Brownfields Property Receptor Survey template form. A 8 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc copy of Brownfields Property Receptor Survey template form is provided as Appendix A. 2.2 UST Soil Sampling Activities Per the UST Guidelines, LSA requirements include the installation of a co-located soil boring and groundwater monitoring well for evaluating subsurface conditions at each potential source area. Each of the four UST locations is considered a separate source area. As such, H&H will team with a qualified drilling subcontractor to advance one co-located soil boring/temporary monitoring well at each of the four UST areas. Each soil boring will be advanced to depths of approximately 20 to 25 ft bgs or until adequate groundwater for collection of groundwater samples is encountered. The locations of the proposed Phase I LSA co-located soil borings and temporary monitoring wells are shown in Figure 3. As noted above, the initial 5 ft of each boring will be advanced with a hand auger to minimize the potential for damage to subsurface utilities. Beyond the initial 5 ft, the borings will be advanced with a track-mounted drill rig capable of utilizing direct push technology (DPT) drilling techniques. During drilling, continuous soil samples will be collected at each soil boring from the center of the hand auger bucket and acetate lined macrocore sleeves. The soil samples will be logged for lithologic description and field screened for the presence of staining and elevated organic vapors using a calibrated photoionization detector (PID). In accordance with UST Guidelines, a soil sample will be collected at a depth corresponding to the depth of the UST base at each UST location. Information provided in the September 15, 1995 UST Closure Report prepared by Trigon indicates that the base of each UST was measured to be approximately 10 ft bgs. Based on groundwater assessment results completed at the Site by others, depth to the water table is not expected to be greater than 15 ft bgs. Therefore, one soil sample will be collected for laboratory analysis from each boring in accordance with UST Guidelines for completing Phase I LSA soil sampling where groundwater is less than 25 ft bgs. Soil samples selected for laboratory analysis will be collected directly into laboratory supplied glassware, labeled with the sample identification, time, date, and requested analysis. The 9 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc samples will be placed in a laboratory supplied cooler with ice and delivered to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for the following analyses:  the former diesel UST (Tank No. 1) soil sample will be submitted for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260, SVOCs by EPA Method 8270, and volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (VPH) and extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH) by Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) methods;  the former gasoline UST (Tank No. 2) soil sample will be submitted for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260 and VPH by MADEP; and  soil samples collected in the area of the two former fuel oil USTs (Tank No. 3 and Tank No. 4) will be submitted for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260, SVOCs by EPA Method 8270, and VPH and EPH by MADEP. The soil samples collected in the area of Tank No. 3 will also be submitted for laboratory analysis of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals plus hexavalent chromium by EPA Methods 6020/7471/7199. Upon collection of the soil samples, the four soil borings will be converted to temporary monitoring wells and Phase I LSA groundwater samples will be collected as described below. 2.3 UST Groundwater Sampling Activities H&H will direct the drilling subcontractor to convert the Phase I LSA soil borings into temporary monitoring wells. The temporary monitoring wells will be constructed of 1-inch diameter PVC with 10 to 15 ft of well screen set to bracket the water table and 1-inch diameter PVC well casing to the ground surface. A sand filter pack will be placed from the bottom of the borings to approximately 2 ft above the top of the well screens. The temporary wells will be completed by placing a minimum 2 ft hydrated bentonite seal above the sand filter pack. 10 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc Once the temporary monitoring wells are installed, the wells will be allowed to equilibrate to static conditions, and a decontaminated electronic water level indicator will be used to measure the depth to the water table relative to the ground surface in each well. The wells will then be developed by removing a minimum of 3 to 5 volumes and until field parameters have stabilized (pH± 0.1 SU and conductivity varies no more than 5%). After development, groundwater samples will be collected utilizing low flow/low stress purging techniques using a peristaltic pump and dedicated polyethylene tubing. The intake point of the pump tubing will be placed in the approximate mid-portion of the screened interval of the well, and groundwater will be removed at a rate no greater than 200 milliliters per minute. H&H will utilize calibrated water quality meters to collect measurements of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, oxidation reduction potential, turbidity, and specific conductivity at three to five-minute intervals during the purging process. Purging will be considered complete when the field parameters stabilize (pH ± 0.1 SU and conductivity varies no more than 5%). Once groundwater parameters stabilize, groundwater samples for VOC and VPH analysis will be collected directly into laboratory supplied sample containers using the “soda straw” method to eliminate the potential for volatile compound loss through the pump head. Samples collected for the remaining analyses will be collected directly into laboratory supplied sample containers from the dedicated sample tubing discharge. The sample containers will be labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis, and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler with ice. The groundwater samples will be delivered to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for the following analyses:  the former diesel UST (Tank No. 1) groundwater samples will be submitted for analysis of purgeable aromatics plus xylenes by EPA Method 602, Base Neutrals and Acids plus 10 TICs by EPA Method 625, and VPH and EPH by MADEP;  the former gasoline UST (Tank No. 2) groundwater sample will be submitted for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 6200, VPH by MADEP; and lead by EPA Method 6010; 11 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc  groundwater samples collected in the area of the two former fuel oil USTs (Tank No. 3 and Tank No. 4) will be submitted for analysis of purgeable aromatics plus xylenes by EPA Method 602, Base Neutrals and Acids plus 10 TICs by EPA Method 625, and VPH and EPH by MADEP. A groundwater sample will also be collected in the area of Tank No. 3 and submitted for laboratory analysis of RCRA metals by EPA Methods 6020/7471. Following sampling activities, the temporary monitoring wells will be surveyed to estimate the top of casing and ground surface elevations in order to develop a groundwater potentiometric surface map for the Site. After the temporary monitoring well survey has been conducted, the temporary monitoring wells will be properly abandoned and the surfaces will be repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions. Additionally, the Phase I LSA sampling locations will be estimated using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS) unit. 2.4 Limited Site Assessment Reporting Upon completion of the proposed field activities and receipt of the analytical data, H&H will prepare a Phase I LSA report for submittal to the DEQ UST Section to document the UST assessment activities. The report will include the results of the soil and groundwater data in comparison to regulatory levels, a brief description of geology, receptor and land use survey information, boring logs, tabular summaries of the laboratory analytical data, figures depicting sample locations, and conclusions and recommendations concerning our activities. Based on the results of previous assessment activities and the anticipated limited extent of impacts and the anticipated low risk determination for the Site, the report will likely recommend risk-based closure for the release incident. 12 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc 3.0 Brownfields Assessment Activities The proposed Brownfields assessment activities will be performed in general accordance with the DEQ Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) Guidelines for Assessment and Cleanup (Guidelines) dated October 2015, the DEQ DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance (VI Guidance) dated March 2018, and most recent versions of the U.S. EPA SESD Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures. The proposed Brownfields assessment activities will be completed concurrently with the Phase I LSA assessment activities outlined above. In addition to the Phase I LSA report outlined above, results of the proposed former UST assessment activities will also be reported as part of the proposed Brownfields assessment activities outlined in the following sections. As described in Section 2.0, H&H will contact North Carolina 811 and a private utility locator to screen and mark subsurface utilities located on the Site. H&H will also utilize the SIP from Mecklenburg County obtained for Phase I LSA activities as part of the proposed Brownfields groundwater assessment activities. After completion of the activities, H&H will update the SIP on the Mecklenburg County Well Information database with North Carolina licensed driller temporary monitoring well abandonment records. 3.1 Soil Sampling Activities H&H will contract a qualified drilling contractor to advance one (1) soil boring in the vicinity of the former acid wash operations area (Figure 2). The soil boring will be co-located with the proposed Phase I LSA boring for the Tank No. 3 fuel oil UST (Figure 3). The former acid wash operations area soil boring will be advanced with a track-mounted drill rig capable of utilizing DPT drilling techniques. During drilling, continuous soil samples will be collected from the hand auger (initial 5 ft bgs) and from acetate lined macrocore sleeves (depths greater than 5 ft bgs). Soil samples will be logged for lithologic description and field screened for the presence of staining and elevated organic vapors using a calibrated PID. H&H will collect a soil sample for laboratory analysis from shallow soils (no greater that 5 ft bgs) to 13 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc represent soil that may be disturbed during redevelopment activities in the area of the former acid wash operations. The soil sample selected for laboratory analysis will be placed directly into dedicated laboratory supplied sample containers, labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis, and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler with ice. The soil sample will be submitted to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260, SVOCs by EPA Method 8270, and RCRA metals plus hexavalent chromium by EPA Methods 6020/7471/7199. H&H also proposes to advance two (2) soil borings for collection of a soil samples from areas at the Site that do not appear to have been affected by historical uses to evaluate background concentrations of naturally occurring metals. The locations of the background soil borings will be determined based on field observations and review of available historical resources. The background soil borings will be advanced to approximately 5 ft bgs utilizing a decontaminated stainless steel hand auger. Continuous soil samples will be collected from the center of the hand auger bucket at each boring. Soil samples will be logged for lithological description and field screened for indication of potential impacts by observation for staining and the presence of organic vapors using a calibrated PID. One shallow soil sample will be collected for laboratory analysis from each boring. Following collection, the background soil samples will be placed in dedicated laboratory supplied sample containers, labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis, and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler with ice. Background soil samples will be submitted to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of RCRA metals plus hexavalent chromium by EPA Methods 6020/7471/7199. Following sampling activities, the soil borings will be properly abandoned and the surface will be repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions and the locations will be using a hand-held GPS unit. 14 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc 3.2 Groundwater Sampling Activities H&H will contract a qualified drilling contractor to advance borings for installation of five (5) temporary groundwater monitoring wells at the Site. Four (4) temporary monitoring wells will be installed along the eastern and southern Site boundaries to evaluate the potential for impact to shallow groundwater from potential upgradient off-Site sources. One (1) temporary monitoring well will be installed in the northwestern portion of the Site to evaluate shallow groundwater in the vicinity of a previous ECS GW-1 groundwater sample where chlorinated solvent impacts were reported. In addition, the temporary monitoring well installed in the vicinity of the former fuel oil UST Tank No. 3 during Phase I LSA activities will also be utilized to evaluate the potential for impacts to groundwater from historical acid wash operations. Proposed temporary monitoring well locations are shown in Figure 3. The temporary groundwater monitoring well borings will be advanced with a track-mounted drill rig capable of utilizing DPT drilling techniques. If refusal is encountered prior to reaching the water table in a proposed temporary groundwater monitoring well location, H&H will instruct the driller to utilize alternative drilling techniques to advance the boring to depths corresponding to the water table. H&H anticipates the depth to water at the Site to be approximately 10 to 15 ft bgs. During drilling, soil cuttings will be collected and logged for lithologic description and field screened for the presence of staining and elevated organic vapors using a calibrated PID. The temporary monitoring wells will be constructed of 1-inch diameter PVC with 10 to 15 ft of well screen set to bracket the water table and 1-inch diameter PVC well casing to the ground surface. A sand filter pack will be placed from the bottom of the borings to approximately 2 ft above the top of the well screens. The temporary wells will be completed by placing a 2 ft hydrated bentonite seal above the sand filter pack. The wells will be developed and purged until water quality parameters have stabilized utilizing low-flow/low-stress methods described in Section 2.2. Once groundwater parameters stabilize, 15 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc groundwater samples for VOC analysis will be collected directly into laboratory supplied sample containers using the “soda straw” method to eliminate the potential for volatile compound loss through the pump head. Samples collected for the remaining analyses will be collected directly into laboratory supplied sample containers from the dedicated sample tubing discharge. The sample containers will be labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis, and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler and iced. The groundwater samples will be delivered to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analyses of VOCs by EPA Method 8260 and SVOCs by EPA Method 8270. In addition to VOCs and SVOCs, groundwater samples collected from one proposed upgradient temporary monitoring well and from the temporary monitoring well proposed in the former acid wash operations area will be submitted for analysis of RCRA metals by EPA Method 6010/7471. Following installation and sampling activities, the temporary monitoring wells will be surveyed to estimate the top of casing and ground surface elevations in order to develop a groundwater potentiometric surface map for the Site. After the temporary monitoring well survey has been conducted, the temporary monitoring wells will be properly abandoned by a licensed well driller and the surfaces will be repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions. Each groundwater sample location will be estimated using a hand-held GPS unit. 3.3 Soil Gas Sampling Activities H&H proposes to collect eight (8) soil gas samples within the footprints of residential buildings proposed in the western portion of the Site to evaluate the potential for structural vapor intrusion in the vicinity of chlorinated solvent groundwater impacts reported by ECS. The proposed building footprints and proposed soil gas sample locations are shown in Figure 3. The soil gas monitoring points (SGMPs) will be installed utilizing the track-mounted DPT drill rig to advance soil borings to approximately 5 to 10 ft bgs. The SGMP borings will be advanced to approximately 5 ft above the estimated depth to the water table. After advancing the boring to depth, a six-inch stainless-steel vapor implant screen point fitted with ¼-inch diameter Teflon® tubing will be installed within each borehole. Filter sand will be placed from the base of the 16 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc boring to six inches above the screened interval. The sampling points will be completed by placing hydrated bentonite from the top of the filter sand to the ground surface. Prior to sample collection, a leak check will be conducted at each SGMP by constructing a shroud around the sampling point and flooding the air within the shroud with helium gas. Helium within the shroud will be monitored using a helium gas detector to ensure concentrations within the shroud remain at levels near saturated conditions. Using a syringe and three-way valve, the sample screen, sand filter pack, and sample tubing will be purged of approximately three volumes. Vapor from the soil gas sample tubing will then be collected outside of the shroud into a Tedlar® bag and analyzed using the helium gas detector to ensure that helium concentrations are less than 10% of the concentration measured within the shroud. Following a successful leak check, the soil gas samples will be collected into laboratory supplied stainless steel Summa sample canisters connected to in-line flow controllers with a laboratory calibrated vacuum gauge. The flow controller will be connected to the sample tubing at each soil gas sampling point using a brass nut and ferrule assembly to form an air-tight seal. The flow regulator will be pre-set by the laboratory to regulate the intake rate to approximately 100 milliliters per minute. Once the sample train is assembled, the intake valve on the canister will be fully opened to begin collection of the soil gas sample. Vacuum readings on the Summa canister will be recorded prior to and following the sampling period to ensure adequate sample volume was collected. A vacuum will be maintained within the canisters at the conclusion of the sampling event. After sample collection, the intake valve will be closed, and the regulator will be disconnected from the canister. The starting and ending vacuum in each canister will be recorded on the chain- of-custody and submitted to the laboratory along with the samples. The Summa canisters will then be packaged and shipped to the laboratory under chain of custody for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method TO-15. The final vacuum in each sample canister will be measured and recorded on the chain of custody record by the laboratory upon receipt of the samples. 17 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc 3.4 Quality Assurance – Quality Control Non-dedicated equipment and tools will be decontaminated prior to use at each boring or sampling location or following exposure to soil or groundwater. For quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) purposes, the following samples will be collected:  One duplicate groundwater sample will be collected and analyzed for the same parameters as the parent sample.  One duplicate soil sample will be collected and analyzed for the same parameters as the parent sample.  One trip blank will accompany the groundwater samples during field activities as well as during sample shipment. The trip blank will be analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 8260.  One duplicate soil gas sample will be collected and analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method TO-15. Laboratory QA/QC procedures will be employed to ensure appropriate sample handling and analysis and to aid in review and validation of the analytical data. QA/QC procedures will be conducted in accordance with the method protocols and will include regular equipment maintenance, equipment calibrations, and adherence to specific sample custody and data management procedures. Samples will be analyzed in conjunction with appropriate blanks, laboratory duplicates, continuing calibration standards, surrogate standards, and matrix spiking standards in accordance with approved methodologies to monitor both instrument and analyst performance. Laboratory reporting limits for each analyte will be at or below applicable DEQ Residential screening criteria, where possible. Additionally, H&H will request that the laboratory include estimated concentrations for compounds that are detected at levels above the laboratory detection limit, but below the laboratory reporting limit (J flags). The laboratory analytical data report and QA package for the samples submitted to and analyzed by the subcontracted laboratory will be provided in an appendix to the final report. Laboratory QA data consistent with Level II documentation will be requested for this project. A copy of the 18 S:\AAA-Master Projects\Metromont\Metromont\Brownfields Assessment WP\final to DEQ\Brownfields Assessment Work Plan Rev.1_Metromont Concrete Facility (BPN 22040-18-060)_Rev1_20190122.doc completed chain-of-custody record and shipping receipt will be appended to the corresponding laboratory analytical report included with the final report. 3.5 Investigation Derived Waste Investigation derived waste (IDW) generated during the proposed assessment activities will be managed in general accordance with DEQ IHSB Guidelines. IDW generated during the assessment activities will be thin spread on-Site. However, if significant impacts are suspected (i.e., elevated PID readings, free-product, etc.) the soil cuttings will be containerized in 55-gallon drums and staged on-Site pending analytical results of a composite IDW sample. Based on laboratory analytical results of IDW samples, the drums will be transported off-Site to a suitable facility for disposal. 3.6 Reporting Following completion of the assessment activities and receipt of the analytical data, H&H will document our findings in a Brownfields assessment report. The report will include a description of the sampling activities, a figure depicting sample locations, soil boring logs, temporary monitoring well construction details, soil gas monitoring point construction details, laboratory analytical data, a discussion of the data in comparison to regulatory screening levels, Brownfields receptor survey results, IDW manifests (if applicable), and conclusions and recommendations concerning our activities. 0 2000 4000 APPROXIMATE SCALE IN FEET N U.S.G.S.
