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 Brownfields Property was developed prior to 1938 with a residential
structure that was demolished in the 1940s. The remaining portions of the Brownfields Property
were comprised predominantly of cleared land from 1938 until the 1948. The current onsite
4
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
building located on the northwestern portion of the Brownfields Property at 500 Hoke Street was
constructed in 1948 and contained a warehouse, office, and concrete loading dock. In the 1960s
the structure was expanded to approximately 14,490 square feet with the addition of an
additional warehouse. From 1948 until 2013, site history information indicates the Brownfields
Property was utilized for commercial operations including air conditioning equipment companies
(1950s-1960s), appliance warehouse and wholesale beer and wine distributor (1970s),
commercial plastics company (1980s-1990s), and a waste management operation that conducted
waste transportation and cleanup operations (approximately 2003-2004). Tractor trailer parking
by Raleigh Tractor and Equipment was also allowed on the eastern half of the 1412 Garner Road
parcel on the Brownfields Property. Raleigh Tractor and Equipment occupied a portion of the
Brownfields Property and other adjoining property to the south for decades. From 2013 until
2016, prior to the Brownfields Property entering the Brownfields Program, the Inter -Faith Food
Shuttle leased the Brownfields Property as an agriculture training center. Inter -Faith Food
Shuttle used portions of 1412 Garner Road and 506 Hoke Street parcels for gardening and
produce harvesting.
b. The three parcels comprising the Brownfields Property were owned by Raleigh
Tractor & Equipment Company prior to March 15, 1947. The ownership history for these parcels
includes multiple transfers of ownership, including some of the same parties for the different
parcels. The parcel addressed as 500 Hoke Street (PIN 1703828886) was sold by Raleigh
Tractor & Equipment to First Colony Distributors Inc. and Fletcher Associates Inc. (April 27,
1951), then to subsequent owners A. E. & H. M. Shaw Finley, (May 26, 1952), Carolina Ceramic
Tile Industries (December 12, 1952), Isenhour, Forster, and Sparks (August 1, 1953), Isenhour
5
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
(May 31, 1954 and June 18, 1954), Helene Richards (December 17, 1954), John and Ruth
Alexander (December 31, 1960), John Alexander Heirs (June 10, 2000), John Alexander Jr.
(October 31, 2002), McKnitt & Associates LLC (January 31, 2003), and the Prospective
Developer (February 01, 2017).
c. The parcel located at 506 Hoke Street (PIN 1703920846) was purchased from
Raleigh Tractor & Equipment Company by NC Products Corporation on August 14, 1953. The
subsequent ownership history for this parcel includes John Alexander and wife, A.E. & H.M.
Shaw Finley (December 31, 1955), John Alexander Heirs (June 10, 2000), John Alexander, Jr.
(October 21, 2002), McKnitt & Associates LLC (January 31, 2003), and the Prospective
Developer (February 01, 2017).
d. The parcel located at 1412 Garner Road (PIN 1703920658) was purchased
from Raleigh Tractor Equipment Company by Aldredge & Co Inc., and Fletcher and Associates
Inc. (April 27, 1951), with subsequent owners being John Alexander and wife, and A.E. & H.M.
Shaw Finley (December 31, 1955), John Alexander, Jr. Trustee (March 15, 2000), Catherine
Alexander Wilson, and Mountain Rest Properties LLC, and the Prospective Developer (February
01, 2017).
7. Pertinent environmental information regarding the Brownfields Property and
surrounding area includes the following:
a. Portions of the Brownfields Property, specifically PIN 1703828886 (500 Hoke
Street) and portions of PIN 1703920846 (506 Hoke Street) and 1703920658 (1412 Garner Road)
were regulated under the DWM Hazardous Waste Section (EPA ID No. NCR000138941). The
EPA ID No. NCR000138941 was assigned when Nyetech of North Carolina, Inc. and later
6
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
Nyetech Environmental Solutions (Nyetech), were identified as operating a waste treatment
facility on the 500 Hoke Street parcel and the western portion of the 1412 Garner Road parcel.
The Nyetech facility was identified as a hazardous waste transporter and contained a 10-day
storage area inside the building located at 500 Hoke Street, a roll -off container and tank storage
area, a mixing area, and a mixing agent stockpile on the portion of the Brownfields Property
behind the building on the 1412 Garner Road parcel.
b. On January 21-24, 2004, personnel from DEQ's predecessor agency, the State of
North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) conducted site
visits to the Nyetech facility in response to an oil spill complaint. DENR personnel observed
releases of waste and hydraulic oils that had previously been collected from oil/water separators
surrounding several roll -off containers. The releases were stated to be due to improper mixing of
these waste fluids with sawdust and soil that was allowed to settle in and drain from these
containers, resulted in releases to the ground. The releases were estimated to impact about 60
percent of the area in the back lot. Documentation indicates there were up to 12 containers stored
on the Brownfields Property, with at least seven observed to be filled with contaminated soil, of
which at least three were leaking onto the ground. Releases of waste oils, dyes and inks were also
observed in a mixing pit area at the rear and south end of the back lot. Based on Nyetech's
information, these conditions had dated back to July of 2003.
c. On January 24, 2004, soil samples were collected by DENR's Division of
Water Quality, Groundwater Section personnel, which were submitted for laboratory analysis for
select metals, oil and grease, and semi-volatiles. Benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene,
7
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
benzo(a)pyrene, and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene were detected in soil samples at concentrations in
excess of the Residential Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (February 2018 version).
d. On January 23, 2004, DENR's Hazardous Waste Section, Compliance Branch,
issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) (Docket #2004-082) to Nyetech of NC, Inc. This NOV
included the following violations: releases of waste from onsite roll -off containers to the
environment, failure to mark containers appropriately, and storage of hazardous waste in excess
of the 10-day limit allowed for transporters. The NOV required compliance by February 2, 2004,
when a second inspection would take place. A Transporter Inspection Report conducted by
DENR Hazardous Waste Section inspectors dated January 23, 2004 indicates that 1) the facility's
10-day storage area was located inside the building and at the time of inspection, three 55-gallon
drums and a large amount of non -hazardous waste was present in the building; 2) empty
containers and an unlabeled and open tub of used oil were observed on the side loading dock; 3)
in the back lot, seven roll -off containers of contaminated soil and non -hazardous waste were
noted and were observed to be leaking used oil and in one case, waste ink; and 4) non -hazardous
wastewater was stored in four separate containers on the back lot (2-1550 gallon containers, 1-
275 gallon tote, and 1-250 gallon container.
e. On March 1, 2004, DENR staff conducted a second inspection and noted that
the free product and contaminated soil had been removed from the Brownfields Property and
disposed of at Earthtec of Sanford.
f. On March 2, 2004, a NOV was issued to Nyetech citing the unlawful discharge
of oil, failure to immediately collect and remove the discharge, and failure to immediately notify
DENR of the discharge.
8
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
g. On April 14, 2004, Nyetech Environmental Solutions responded to the March
2, 2004 NOV by indicating that shortly after the first inspection, the material in the roll -off
containers had been emptied, the containers cleaned, and that the impacted soil had been
excavated down to one foot below grade generating 176.21 tons of soil, which was transported
offsite for disposal at ES&J Enterprises, Inc. in Autryville, NC. Confirmatory soil samples were
collected on February 24, 2004 and March 1, 2004, and were submitted for laboratory analysis of
metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and semi -volatile organic compounds (SVOCs).
Results identified detections of arsenic, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene,
benzo(a)pyrene, and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene at concentrations in excess of the current
Residential Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (February 2018 version).
h. Nyetech of North Carolina Inc. was dissolved as a corporation as noted by
records filed with the North Carolina Secretary of State on April 7, 2004. On November 17,
2004, a Short Form Compliance Order with Administrative Penalties (Docket #2004-203) was
sent to Nyetech of North Carolina, Inc. On January 26, 2007, the DENR Hazardous Waste
Section closed the Short Form Compliance Order and the administrative penalty for the subject
facility.
i. An apparent fuel dispenser pad was observed adjacent to the northeast corner
of the building on the Brownfields Property. Additionally, a former owner indicated an
underground storage tank was removed from the Brownfields Property approximately 50 years
ago; however, documentation regarding the underground storage tank's construction, contents or
removal is not available. Assessment activities conducted in 2016, which included advancing soil
9
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
borings in the suspect UST and dispenser pad area, did not find evidence of a UST remaining in
the ground nor visual or olfactory evidence of soil contamination in that area.
j. Further environmental assessments were completed in 2016 before the
Prospective Developer purchased the Brownfields Property as part of their pre -closing due
diligence, and in 2017 and 2018 after the Prospective Developer acquired the Brownfields
Property. This assessment work included groundwater, soil, sub -slab vapor, and indoor air
quality sampling. In 2016, two temporary and six permanent groundwater wells were installed
and sampled. In the groundwater samples from four out of the eight wells, chromium, lead,
and/or certain chlorinated solvents were detected above their applicable North Carolina 2L
groundwater quality standard. In 2016, a total of 18 soil samples were collected at the
Brownfields Property. An additional 10 soil samples were collected in 2018. The results show
no VOCs, SVOCs, or metals, except for arsenic, were detected in soil at the Brownfields
Property above their respective DEQ residential site screening level. Arsenic was detected above
its DEQ residential site screening level at concentrations that appear to be consistent with
naturally occurring arsenic levels. There is no known source of arsenic release at the
Brownfields Property. In the case of certain chlorinated solvents in groundwater, some were
detected above their respective NC Division vapor intrusion screening levels. One sub -slab
vapor sample collected from below the base of the existing building at the Brownfields Property
exhibited a concentration of tetrachloroethylene in exceedance of its residential screening level,
although it was not detected in the one round of indoor air samples collected in May 2018.
Indoor air samples taken in May 2018 exhibit concentrations of carbon tetrachloride and
naphthalene at or above their respective NC Division vapor intrusion screening levels.
10
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
Consistent with NC Division Vapor Intrusion Guidelines, additional sampling for seasonal
variation may be necessary to confirm these results.
k. A variety of commercial operations have been historically and currently are
located within the vicinity of the Brownfields Property. Historic documentation indicates the
operations conducted in the site vicinity on the offsite properties at 1402 and 1420 Garner Road
may have used portions of the Brownfields Property for parking of vehicles or tractor -trailers.
The 1402 Garner Road property, located at the intersection of Hoke Street and Garner Road, was
historically used as a filling station (1960s-1970s), wrecker service (1980s), and automotive
repair or tire shop (2008 until current). The 1420 Garner Road property, located immediately
south of the Brownfields Property along Garner Road, has been used as a truck and tractor sales
and service facility from the 1940s until the mid-2000s, when the structures were demolished by
the City of Raleigh and the property was left vacant. Prior to 1954, the 1420 Garner Road
property was owned by Raleigh Tractor Equipment Company, an entity that also historically
owned a portion of the Brownfields Property. It is currently owned by Mount Peace Baptist
Church. The former Ashland Chemical distribution facility is located across the abandoned rail
spur immediately southwest of the Brownfields Property at 1415 S. Bloodworth Street (EPA ID
No. NCD088560032). Historic releases from this facility have caused a significant groundwater
plume containing chlorinated solvents, including tetrachloroethylene, and other volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) that has migrated offsite primarily to the south-southeast. This release
continues to be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the NC DEQ Hazardous Waste Section.
8. The most recent environmental sampling at the Brownfields Property reported in the
Environmental Reports occurred on May 8, 2018. The tables set forth in Exhibit 2 to this
11
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
Agreement show 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 February 10, 2017 and a
revised BPA dated February 23, 2017, and on February 01, 2017, Prospective Developer
purchased the Brownfields Property and commenced minor renovations to the existing building
in 2018.
10. Prospective Developer has provided DEQ with information, or sworn certifications
regarding that information on which DEQ relies for purposes of this Agreement, sufficient to
demonstrate that:
a. Prospective Developer and any parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate has
substantially complied with federal and state laws, regulations and rules for protection of the
environment, and with the other agreements and requirements cited at NCGS § 130A-
310.32(a)(1);
b. As a result of the implementation of this Agreement, the Brownfields Property
will be suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public health and
the environment;
c. Prospective Developer's reuse of the Brownfields Property will produce a
public benefit commensurate with the liability protection provided Prospective Developer
hereunder;
12
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
d. Prospective Developer has or can obtain the financial, managerial and
technical means to fully implement this Agreement and assure the safe use of the Brownfields
Property; and
e. Prospective Developer has complied with all applicable procedural
requirements.
11. Prospective Developer has paid to DEQ the $2,000 fee to seek a brownfields
agreement required by NCGS § 130A-310.39(a)(1), and shall make a payment to DEQ of $6,000
at the time Prospective Developer and DEQ enter into this Agreement, defined for this purpose
as occurring no later than the last day of the public comment period related to this Agreement.
The Parties agree that such fees will suffice as the $2,000 fee to seek a brownfields agreement
required by NCGS § 130A-310.39(a)(1), and, within the meaning of NCGS § 130A-
310.39(a)(2), the full cost to DEQ and the North Carolina Department of Justice of all activities
related to this Agreement, unless a change is sought to a Brownfields document after it is in
effect, in which case there shall be an additional fee of at least $1,000.

commercial use environments, provided such products and materials are stored in original retail
packaging and used and disposed of in accordance with applicable laws; or
iii. as constituents of fuels, lubricants and oils in emergency generators,
machinery, equipment and vehicles in on -board tanks integral to said equipment or in flammable
liquid storage containers totaling no more than 25 gallons.
n. Within 60 days after the effective date of this Agreement or prior to land
disturbance activities, Prospective Developer shall abandon all monitoring wells, injection wells,
recovery wells, piezometers and other man-made points of groundwater access at the
22

Brownfields Property, except for monitoring well MW-2, in accordance with Subchapter 2C of
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, unless an alternate schedule is approved
by DEQ. Within 30 days after doing so, the Prospective Developer shall provide DEQ a report,
setting forth the procedures and results.
o. The owner of any portion of the Brownfields Property where any existing, or
subsequently installed, DEQ-approved monitoring well is damaged by the owner, its contractors,
or its tenants shall be responsible for repair of any such wells to DEQ's written satisfaction and
within a time period acceptable to DEQ, unless compliance with this Land Use Restriction is
waived in writing by DEQ in advance.
p. During January of each year after the year in which the Notice referenced
below in paragraph 20 is recorded, the owner of any part of the Brownfields Property as of
January 1 st of that year shall submit a notarized Land Use Restrictions Update ("LURU") to
DEQ, and to the chief public health and environmental officials of Wake County, certifying that,
as of said January 1 st, the Notice of Brownfields Property containing these land use restrictions
remains recorded at the Wake County Register of Deeds office and that the land use restrictions
are being complied with. The submitted LURU shall state the following:
i. the name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and contact
person's e-mail address of the owner submitting the LURU if said owner acquired any part of the
Brownfields Property during the previous calendar year;
ii. the transferee's name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile
numbers, and contact person's e-mail address, if said owner transferred any part of the
Brownfields Property during the previous calendar year;
23
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
iv. whether soil caps (hardscape materials, clean soil, stone) and

floors of any buildings containing such vapor barrier and/or mitigation systems have changed,
and, if so, how.
q. A LURU submitted for rental units shall include the rent roll and enough of
each lease entered into during the previous calendar year to demonstrate compliance with lessee
notification requirements in paragraphs 21 and 22 of this agreement, below, provided that if
standard form leases are used in every instance, a copy of such standard form lease may be sent
in lieu of copies of actual leases.
r. A joint LURU may be submitted for multiple owners by a duly constituted
board or association and shall include the name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile
numbers, and contact person's e-mail address of the entity submitting the joint LURU as well as
for each of the owners on whose behalf the joint LURU is submitted.
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
24
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
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
protect public health and/or the environment.
VI. ACCESS/NOTICE TO SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST
19. In addition to providing access to the Brownfields Property pursuant to subparagraph
15.k. above, Prospective Developer shall provide DEQ, its authorized officers, employees,
representatives, and all other persons performing response actions under DEQ oversight, access
at all reasonable times to other property controlled by Prospective Developer in connection with
the performance or oversight of any response actions at the Brownfields Property under
applicable law. Such access is to occur after prior notice and using reasonable efforts to
minimize interference with authorized uses of such other property except in response to
emergencies and/or imminent threats to public health and the environment. While Prospective
Developer owns the Brownfields Property, DEQ shall provide reasonable notice to Prospective
Developer of the timing of any response actions to be undertaken by or under the oversight of
DEQ at the Brownfields Property. Except as may be set forth in the Agreement, DEQ retains all
of its authorities and rights, including enforcement authorities related thereto, under the Act and
any other applicable statute or regulation, including any amendments thereto.
20. DEQ has approved, pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35, a Notice of Brownfields
Property for the Brownfields Property containing, inter alia, the land use restrictions set forth in
25
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019

Agreement, Prospective Developer shall file the Notice of Brownfields Property in the Wake
County, North Carolina, Register of Deeds' Office. Within three (3) days thereafter, Prospective
Developer shall furnish DEQ a copy of the documentary component of the Notice containing a
certification by the register of deeds as to the Book and Page numbers where both the
documentary and plat components of the Notice are recorded, and a copy of the plat with
notations indicating its recordation.
21. This Agreement shall be attached as Exhibit A to the Notice of Brownfields
Property. Subsequent to recordation of said Notice, any deed or other instrument conveying an
interest in the Brownfields Property shall contain the following notice: "This property is subject
to the Brownfields Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Notice of Brownfields Property
recorded in the Wake County land records, Book , Page ." A copy of any such
instrument shall be sent to the persons listed in Section XV (Notices and Submissions), though
financial figures and other confidential information related to the conveyance may be redacted to
the extent said redactions comply with the confidentiality and trade secret provisions of the
North Carolina Public Records Law. Prospective Developer may use the following mechanisms
to comply with the obligations of this paragraph: (i) If every lease and rider is identical in form,
Prospective Developer may provide DEQ with copies of a form lease or rider evidencing
compliance with this paragraph, in lieu of sending copies of actual, executed leases, to the
persons listed in Section XV (Notices and Submissions); or (ii) Prospective Developer may
provide abstracts of leases, rather than full copies of said leases, to the persons listed in Section
26
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019

22. The Prospective Developer shall ensure that a copy of this Agreement is provided to
any current lessee or sublessee on the Brownfields Property within seven days of the effective
date of this Agreement.
VII. DUE CARE/COOPERATION
23. The Prospective Developer shall exercise due care at the Brownfields Property with
respect to the manner in which regulated substances are handled at the Brownfields Property and
shall comply with all applicable local, State, and federal laws and regulations. The Prospective
Developer agrees to cooperate fully with any assessment or remediation of the Brownfields
Property by DEQ and further agrees not to interfere with any such assessment or remediation. In
the event the Prospective Developer becomes aware of any action or occurrence which causes or
threatens a release of contaminants at or from the Brownfields Property, the Prospective
Developer shall immediately take all appropriate action to prevent, abate, or minimize such
release or threat of release, shall comply with any applicable notification requirements under
NCGS § 130A-310.1 and 143-215.85, Section 103 of CERCLA, 42 USC § 9603, and/or any
other law, and shall immediately notify the DEQ Official referenced in paragraph 35.a. below of
any such required notification.
VIIL CERTIFICATION
24. By entering into this Agreement, the Prospective Developer certifies that, without
DEQ approval, it will make no use of the Brownfields Property other than that committed to in
the Brownfields Property Application dated February 10, 2017, and by the Amended
27
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
Brownfields Property Application dated February 23, 2017, by which it applied for this
Agreement. That use is for community garden, institutional space, retail, restaurant, office, and
associated parking, and subject to DEQ's written approval, high density residential and
commercial uses. Prospective Developer also certifies that to the best of its knowledge and
belief it has fully and accurately disclosed to DEQ all information known to Prospective
Developer and all information in the possession or control of its officers, directors, employees,
contractors and agents which relates in any way to any past use of regulated substances or known
contaminants at the Brownfields Property and to its qualification for this Agreement, including
the requirement that it not have 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
environment, in which case Prospective Developer shall be liable for remediation of the areas of
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
28
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
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.
e. New information indicates the existence of previously unreported
contaminants or an area of previously unreported contamination on or associated with the
Brownfields Property that has not been remediated to unrestricted use standards, unless this
Agreement is amended to include any previously unreported contaminants and any additional
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
29
Hoke Street BFA/21007-17-092/21Nov2019
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 sue.
28. Consistent with NCGS § 130A-310.33, the liability protections provided herein, and
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
Prospective Developer hereby covenants not to sue and not to assert any claims or causes of
action against DEQ, its authorized officers, employees, or representatives with respect to any
action implementing the Act, including negotiating, entering, monitoring or enforcing this
Agreement or the above -referenced Notice of Brownfields Property.
