(H&H) has prepared this Work Plan outlining final grade soil sampling activities for the second and final phase of occupancy at the Pepsi Bottling Brownfields property (Brownfields Project No. 19057-15-060) located at 145 New Bern Street in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Site). The Site consists of one approximately 4.7-acre parcel (Parcel Identification No. 14701709) of land located in a mixed residential and commercial area of South End Charlotte. A Site location map is included as Figure 1, and the Site and surrounding area are shown in Figure 2. Proposed redevelopment of the Site includes construction of a slab -on -grade multi -family residential apartment complex with lower level residential and commercial spaces, a multi -story parking deck, and common open areas including a courtyard with swimming pool. A rendering of the Site redevelopment is shown in Figure 3. 2923 South Tryon Street, Suite 104 3921 Sunset Ridge Rd, Suite 301 Charlotte, NC 28203 Raleigh, NC 27607 www.harthickman.com 704.586.0007 main 919.847.4241 main Ms. Joselyn Harriger, PG January 7, 2020 Page 2 A Brownfields Agreement between the PD and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) was executed on September 21, 2016. Land Use Restriction (LUR) No. 7 included in the recorded Notice of Brownfields Property indicates that no occupancy of any phase of redevelopment on the Brownfields property may occur until final grade soil assessment activities are completed in areas not covered by demonstrably clean fill soil, building foundations, sidewalks, or asphaltic or concrete parking areas and driveways. Final grade sampling for the southern portion of the redevelopment was completed in June 2019. The June 2019 soil assessment results are documented in our First Occupancy Phase — Final Grade Soil Sampling Report dated July 23, 2019. The DEQ Brownfields Program subsequently issued a Phase I — Final Grade Sampling Approval letter dated September 19, 2019. Construction activities at the Site are nearing completion and the second phase of occupancy is planned for the northern portion of the redevelopment (Figure 3). In accordance with LUR No. 7 of the Brownfields Agreement, this Work Plan has been prepared to complete final grade soil sampling prior to occupancy for the second and final phase of redevelopment. The proposed second occupancy phase final grade soil sampling activities are outlined in the following sections. 2.0 Proposed Final Grade Soil Sampling Activities H&H personnel recently observed the Site to identify areas not covered by building foundations, sidewalks, or asphaltic or concrete paved (hardscape) surfaces. The Site is predominately covered with impervious surfaces with the exception of landscaped and/or grassy areas along South Boulevard, the northern Site boundary, and the Lynx Blue Line right-of-way. In addition, landscaped and/or grassy areas were identified within the pool courtyard. Areas not covered with a hardscape surface are shown in Figure 3. H&H will collect surficial soil samples for laboratory analysis in representative unpaved areas to evaluate the potential for impact. Unpaved areas at the Site have been divided into four sections and final grade soil samples will be collected from each final grade area (FG-4 through FG-7). Proposed final grade soil sample locations for each area are shown in Figure 3 and are described below: Ad \\HARTHICKMAN.LOCAL\Shares\MasterFiles\AAA-Master Projects\Lennar (LEN)\LEN-001\Final Grade hart h i c km a n Sampling\Phase Il\Work Plan\Second Occupancy Phase - Final Grade Soil Sampling Work Plan Pepsi Bottling (BPN 19057-15-060)_20200102.docx SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS Ms. Joselyn Harriger, PG January 7, 2020 Page 3 • Final grade area FG-4 includes the landscaped and/or grassy areas located on the western Site boundary along the Lynx Blue Line and the northwestern side of the building; • Final grade area FG-5 includes the landscaped and/or grassy areas located near the northern side of the building along the northern Site boundary; • Final grade area FG-6 includes the landscaped and/or grassy areas located on the eastern Site boundary along South Boulevard; and • Final grade area FG-7 includes the landscaped and/or grassy areas located within the courtyard surrounding the pool. Five (5) aliquot soil samples will be collected in each final grade area to represent shallow soil conditions in unpaved areas at the Site. The proposed aliquot soil sample locations for each final grade area are shown in Figure 3. Soil borings will be advanced to approximately 2 feet below the ground surface at each aliquot soil sample location utilizing a decontaminated stainless steel hand auger. Continuous soil samples will be collected from the center of the hand auger bucket at each soil boring and described for lithologic purposes, observed for the presence of staining, and field screened for elevated volatile organic vapors using a calibrated photo -ionization detector (PID). Aliquot soil samples from each section will be combined and homogenized to form one composite soil sample per section for a total of four (4) composite final grade soil samples. H&H will also collect a grab sample from each final grade area for laboratory analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on field screening results. If no obvious evidence of impact is observed in samples collected from aliquot soil borings, a grab sample will be collected from surficial soil at a randomly selected aliquot soil boring in each final grade area. Soil samples selected for laboratory analysis will be collected directly into laboratory supplied glassware, labeled with the sample identification, date, time, and requested analysis and placed on ice in a laboratory supplied cooler. The samples will be delivered to a North Carolina certified Ad \\HARTHICKMAN.LOCAL\Shares\MasterFiles\AAA-Master Projects\Lennar (LEN)\LEN-001\Final Grade hart h i c km a n Sampling\Phase Il\Work Plan\Second Occupancy Phase - Final Grade Soil Sampling Work Plan Pepsi Bottling (BPN 19057-15-060)_20200102.docx SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS Ms. Joselyn Harriger, PG January 7, 2020 Page 4 laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260, semi-VOCs (SVOCs) by EPA 8270, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals plus hexavalent chromium by EPA Methods 6020/7471/7199. For quality assurance and quality control purposes (QA/QC), H&H will collect one duplicate soil sample which will be submitted for the same laboratory analysis as the parent sample. Non - dedicated equipment and tools will be decontaminated prior to use at each soil boring. Laboratory QA/QC procedures will be employed to ensure appropriate sample handling and analysis and to aid in the 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 appropriate 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 method detection limit, but below the laboratory reporting limit (J flags). The laboratory analytical data report and QA package for each group of 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 provided for this project. A copy of the completed chain -of -custody record and shipping receipt will be appended to the corresponding laboratory analytical report included with the final report. 3.0 Reporting The final grade soil sampling activities and results will be documented in a Final Redevelopment Summary Report for the Pepsi Bottling Brownfields property.
