above -referenced property. Although not yet recorded, the language of the BFA has been
accepted by DEQ and the Prospective Developer, Elixir Retail Partners, LLC as of July 17, 2020.
Although there yet could be minor editorial changes to the language, substantial modifications to
this BFA are not anticipated at this time.

reports titled Sub -Slab and Indoor Air Assessment Report, Gateway Plaza (Mid -Atlantic
Associates, August 28, 2019) and Supplemental Sub -Slab and Indoor Air Assessment Report,

for drop -in childcare use as defined by Land Use Restriction 15.a.xii. of the negotiated BFA, and
subsequent data analysis, including the calculation of carcinogenic and noncancer risk values
adjusted for attenuation factors, comply with Land Use Restriction 15.h.i.1. of the negotiated
BFA, in that the Prospective Developer has demonstrated that Space 1 in the existing building is
or would be protective of its users, public health and the environment from risk of vapor
intrusion.
Please be advised that this letter from the DEQ Brownfields Program refers only to those
risks specifically associated with vapor intrusion, and not with indoor air impacts from other
potential sources, and does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain any necessary
permits, licenses or certifications which may be required from other state or local entities for
drop -in childcare uses. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 919-707-
