Attention: Mr. Bill Schmithorst Re: Annual Redevelopment Summary Report Former MillerCoors Brewery
Eden, North Carolina Brownfields Project No. 24046-20-079 H&H Project No. PPA-065
Dear Bill:
1.0 Introduction

On behalf of Nestle Purina Petcare Company (Prospective Developer or PD), Hart & Hickman,
PC (H&H) is submitting this annual report in accordance with the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) approved Environmental Management Plan (EMP) dated
February 27, 2021. The Former MillerCoors Brewery Brownfields property (Brownfields
Project No. 24046-20-079) is located at 863 East Meadow Road in Eden, Rockingham County,
North Carolina (Site or subject Site). The Site consists of three parcels of land that total
approximately 1,359 acres. Specifically, the Site is located at 863 East Meadow Road
(Rockingham County Parcel Identification Number [PIN] 108230Z1), 719 Industrial Drive (PIN
108185), and a parcel with no established address (PIN 112699). A Site location map is included
as Figure 1.

From the late 1970s until 2017, MillerCoors conducted industrial beer brewery operations at the
Site. Following discontinuation of brewery operations in 2017, D.H. Griffin Companies (DH
Griffin) occupied the Site and performed various facility decommissioning activities. Locations

where decommissioning activities were conducted by DH Griffin are identified as Phase 1 Demo
Areas on Site maps included as Figures 2A and 2B.

The Site is currently developed with an approximately 1,100,00 square foot (sq ft) manufacturing
building located in the southwest portion of the Brownfields property. Remaining areas of the
Site are developed with smaller buildings, relic wastewater treatment infrastructure, a concrete
paved area formerly utilized for coal storage, parking lots, access drives, and undeveloped land.
Current redevelopment plans include upfit and renovations for adaptive re-use of the existing
Site buildings for manufacturing and distribution operations by the PD.

As it relates to the 2021 redevelopment time period, this report has been prepared in accordance
with environmental-related reporting requirements associated with ongoing redevelopment
activities included in the approved EMP for the Site. The section below outlines activities
completed to satisfy the requirements of the DEQ approved EMP.

2.0 Environmental-Related Reporting Requirements

In accordance with the Post-Redevelopment Reporting Section of the approved EMP for the Site,
redevelopment activities at the Former MillerCoors Brewery Brownfields property are ongoing
and have included the following activities:

• Removal of tanks and demolition of piping infrastructure located in the southeastern and
southwestern portions of the manufacturing building;
• Demolition of a detached former coal conveyor system and associated building located in
the western portion of the manufacturing building;
• Demolition of lagoons associated with the former wastewater treatment plant (WWTP);
• Soil management during backfilling of the WWTP lagoons with Site soils;

• Installation of concrete slabs for the future North High Bay building located in the
northern demolition area of the manufacturing building;
• Installation of concrete pile caps for a future grain and mill silo;
• Renovations to the roof of the southern portion of the manufacturing building; and
• Excavations for foundations associated with a future building to be constructed south of
the manufacturing building.

Note that the above referenced demolition activities are identified as Phase 2 Demo Areas on
Figures 2A and 2B. Also note that impacted soil was not identified during grading and/or
excavation activities. As such, soil disturbed during redevelopment activities was reused on-Site
as fill.
