Indoor Air Assessment Report Harris Teeter Sign Warehouse
PCA International Brownfields Site Matthews, North Carolina Brownfields Project No. 16036-12-060 H&H Job No. HTE-003
1.0 Introduction and Background On behalf of Matthews Property 1, LLC, Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) has prepared this report to
document indoor air sampling completed at the Harris-Teeter Sign Warehouse located at 815
Matthews-Mint Hill Rd (the Site). A Site Location Map is provided as Figure 1. The Site was
formerly used for photofinishing by PCA International and is covered by a Brownfields
Agreement which was executed with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) in April 2014 (Brownfields Project No. 16036-12-060). The Site is approximately 16
acres and contains two attached buildings that total approximately 172,000 sq ft.
The southern Site building is referred to herein as the Main Building and it has multiple floors, is
approximately 127,000 sq ft, and is not being used or occupied for any purpose. The
northwestern building is an approximately 45,000 sq ft single-story building that is used by
Harris-Teeter and referred to as the Sign Warehouse. The Sign Warehouse is used for
warehousing of signs, displays, and promotional items, merchandising display mock-ups, and
shelving storage. There is a small (approximately 3,000 sq ft) office area in the east-central
portion of the Sign Warehouse that contains two small office areas, a studio, and restrooms. The
studio portion of this area is only occasionally used for taking photographs or videos of products.
A Site Map showing the location of the Site buildings is provided as Figure 2, and a detail of the
Sign Warehouse layout is provided as Figure 4.
The Sign Warehouse is separated from the Main Building by two forklift doors and a personnel
door that remain closed at all times. The Sign Warehouse has approximately 20-ft ceilings
although drop ceilings are present in the office/studio area. The Sign Warehouse is conditioned
with multiple commercial roof-top HVAC units, and the office/studio area has a separate HVAC
system than the remainder of the warehouse. There are five dock doors along the southern wall

of the Sign Warehouse that typically remain closed except when trucks are being loaded or
unloaded. Personnel doors with exterior access are located on the southern and northern walls of
the Sign Warehouse that remain closed during working hours (see Figure 4).
The Conbraco facility is located west of the Site (see Figure 2). We understand that Harris-
Teeter was recently contacted by DEQ Brownfields Program personnel because chlorinated
solvents were detected in groundwater samples collected in 2021 on the Conbraco facility,
including some near the western border of the Site. The primary compound detected in
groundwater in the Conbraco monitor wells is trichloroethene (TCE) with lower concentrations
of the TCE parent or daughter products tetrachloroethene (PCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-
DCE), and trans-1,2-DCE. The approximate locations of the Conbraco facility monitor wells are
depicted in Figure 3 along with the TCE concentrations detected in the well samples collected in
August 2021. As indicated in Figure 3, TCE was detected in well MW-F at 47,900 µg/l,
although the TCE concentrations in well MW-B, which is located between MW-F and the Sign
Warehouse contained a significantly lower TCE concentration of 84.4 µg/l. TCE was not
detected in monitor well MW-D which is located due west of the Sign Warehouse. Based upon
topography (see Figure 1), groundwater flow direction based upon the monitor well groundwater
elevations contained in Conbraco’s October 2021 groundwater monitoring report, and the TCE
distribution on the Conbraco facility, groundwater flow direction at the Conbraco facility appears
to be to the north-northwest and cross-gradient of the Site.
Based upon the recent TCE detections in groundwater at the Conbraco facility, we understand
that the DEQ Brownfields Program requested that an evaluation of indoor air quality be
performed at the Site to evaluate potential risks to occupants of the Site due to the presence of
nearby groundwater impacts. In 2012, as part of Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
activities completed in support of the Brownfields Agreement for the Site, H&H collected five
indoor air samples from the first and second floors of the Main Building and TCE was not
detected above DEQ Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion Indoor Air Screening Levels (IASLs).
The highest concentration of TCE detected in the 2012 samples from the Main Building was 0.96
µg/m3 versus the Non-Residential IASL of 1.8 µg/m3. The approximate locations of the 2012
indoor air samples are depicted in Figure 3. Because the Main Building is not being used (and
5
https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/MasterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Harris Teeter - HTE/HTE-003 PCA/2021 VI/Dec-21 IA Sampling/Report/16036 - Indoor Air Sampling Report - Harris Teeter Sign Warehouse.doc
there are no plans to use the building at this time) and previous assessment did not indicate the
presence of TCE above Non-Residential IASLs in the Main Building, the indoor air quality
assessment was only performed in the Sign Warehouse, which is currently being used by
personnel and is located closest to the Conbraco facility.
H&H submitted a Draft Work Plan for Indoor Air Sampling to the DEQ Brownfields Program on
November 23, 2021. DEQ Brownfields personnel and representatives of Harris-Teeter
(including its consultant/counsel) had a call to discuss the draft work plan on December 3, 2021,
and DEQ Brownfields personnel performed a Site visit on December 6, 2021. The DEQ
Brownfields Program provided conditional approval of the work plan in an email dated
December 7, 2021, H&H submitted the Final Work Plan on December 8, 2021, and DEQ
provided a formal Work Plan approval letter December 9, 2021.
The proposed indoor air assessment activities were performed in general accordance with the
DEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) Vapor Intrusion Guidance (Guidance) dated
March 2018, the most recent versions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Region 4 Laboratory Services and Applied Science Division (LSASD) Quality System and
Technical Procedures guidance, and the DEQ-approved Work Plan. A summary of the methods
and results of the indoor air sampling activities is provided below.

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/MasterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Harris Teeter - HTE/HTE-003 PCA/2021 VI/Dec-21 IA Sampling/Report/16036 - Indoor Air Sampling Report - Harris Teeter Sign Warehouse.doc
2.0 Indoor Air Assessment Activities
2.1 Sample Locations and Collection Methods
On December 21, 2021, H&H collected four indoor air samples for laboratory analysis within the
Sign Warehouse. The indoor air samples were collected at locations within the Sign Warehouse
as depicted on Figure 4 and described below:
• SWIA-1 was collected in the southwest portion of the Sign Warehouse closest to
Conbraco monitor well MW-B.
• SWIA-2 was collected in the northern portion of the Sign Warehouse and was
biased to the western portion of that space closest to the Conbraco facility.
• SWIA-3 and SWIA-4 were collected in the two office areas where personnel are
located in the east-central portion of the Sign Warehouse.
On the day of the indoor air sampling activities, H&H conducted a survey to identify materials
within the building that may be indoor sources of potential compounds of concern. The survey
was documented in the Indoor Air Building Survey and Sampling Form from the DEQ Vapor
Intrusion Guidance, a copy of which is included as Appendix A. H&H performed a visit to the
Sign Warehouse on November 22, 2021 and did not locate items which have chlorinated solvents
as components. During the November Site visit and as documented on the Indoor Air Building
Survey and Sampling Form, H&H did identify small quantities of automotive chemicals
(antifreeze, Rain-X, diesel exhaust fluid, WD-40, automotive transmission fluid, refrigerant,
motor oil), paint, citrus-based adhesive remover, vegetable oil-based grill cleaner, alcohol and
petroleum-based cleaner/degreasers/solvents, and disinfectants, but none were identified as
containing chlorinated solvents. Some large stainless-steel items (food warming stations) were
identified, but there was no evidence that stainless steel cleaners were used and none were
reported to be used.
To collect the indoor air samples under conservative conditions, the samples were collected with
the doors of the buildings closed and ingress and egress activities minimized. The loading dock

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/MasterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Harris Teeter - HTE/HTE-003 PCA/2021 VI/Dec-21 IA Sampling/Report/16036 - Indoor Air Sampling Report - Harris Teeter Sign Warehouse.doc
doors remained closed during the sampling event except that one door was opened for deliveries
for approximately 30 minutes at 11:30 am and 3:30 pm, which is typical. The indoor air samples
were collected using laboratory supplied individually certified 6-liter stainless steel Summa
sample canisters connected to in-line flow controllers with a vacuum gauge. In addition to the
four indoor air samples, one ambient exterior background sample (BG-1) was also collected.
The background sample was collected from an upwind location based upon the wind direction on
the day of the sampling. The background air sample was collected using a laboratory supplied
batch certified 6-liter stainless steel Summa sample canister connected to an in-line flow
controller with a vacuum gauge. In addition, for field and laboratory QA/QC purposes, H&H
collected one duplicate indoor air sample using a T-fitting during the sampling event. The
duplicate sample was collected from the same location as SWIA-1 and was analyzed for the
same compounds as the parent sample. The flow controllers for all of the sample canisters were
calibrated by the laboratory to allow the samples to be collected over an 8-hour period. A 3-foot
long sampling cane was connected to the flow controller so that the sample intake point was
positioned approximately 5 ft above grade (typical breathing zone height) when the sample
canister is set on its base.
During the sampling activities, pressure differential was measured near the start, middle, and end
of the 8-hour sampling period using a manometer sensitive to 0.001 inches of water. The
pressure differential at SWIA-1 and SWIA-2 was collected between indoor and outdoor
conditions, and the measured pressure differential at SWIA-3 and SWIA-4 was between the
office and warehouse spaces. In addition, exterior wind speed, exterior wind direction,
indoor/outdoor temperature, barometric pressure, and precipitation (if any) were recorded near
the start, middle, and end of the sampling period. H&H personnel periodically monitored each
sample canister to prevent tampering or damages during the sampling event. Prior to and after
the indoor and background air samples were collected, vacuum in the canisters were measured
using a laboratory supplied vacuum gauge and recorded by sampling personnel. The starting and
ending vacuum in each canister was recorded on the sample chain-of-custody. A vacuum of at
least -5 inches of mercury (“Hg) was maintained within the canisters at the conclusion of the
sampling event. The indoor air sampling field form is included in Appendix B.

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/MasterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Harris Teeter - HTE/HTE-003 PCA/2021 VI/Dec-21 IA Sampling/Report/16036 - Indoor Air Sampling Report - Harris Teeter Sign Warehouse.doc
Please note that the regulator vacuum measurements collected from the duplicate samples
collected at the SWIA-1 location indicated a quicker drop in vacuum than expected. H&H
monitored the regulator vacuum during the sampling event and stopped the canisters when the
regulator indicated the vacuum was at -5” Hg which resulted in a 3.5-hour sample time. The lab
receipt pressure was recorded as -6.7” Hg, which is comparable to the pressure recorded by
H&H. Although the regulator only ran for approximately 3.5 hours, the sample collection was
stopped at an acceptable vacuum and analytical results, discussed below, are consistent with
other samples collected in the open warehouse space at the Site. Therefore, H&H does not
believe the apparently faulty regulator impacted the analytical results of the samples collected at
SWIA-1.
Following collection, the sample canisters were labeled and shipped under standard chain-of-
custody procedures to Contest Analytical for analysis of the following volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method TO-15, which are the VOCs of potential concern associated
with Conbraco facility groundwater (and their degradation products): PCE, TCE, cis-1,2-DCE,
trans-1,2-DCE, 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), and vinyl chloride. H&H requested the
laboratory use reporting limits that are below DEQ Non-Residential IASLs.
2.2 Indoor Air Sampling Results
A tabular summary of the indoor air sample laboratory VOC analytical results is provided as
Table 1. The laboratory analytical report and chain of custody records are provided in Appendix
C. The analytical results in Table 1 are compared to the DEQ DWM Non-Residential Indoor Air
Screening Levels (IASLs) dated June 2021 based upon a lifetime incremental cancer risk (LICR)
of LICR of 1 x 10-6 for potential carcinogenic effects and a Hazard Quotient (HQ) of 0.2 for
potential non-carcinogenic effects.
Laboratory analytical results from the indoor air sampling event indicated that no VOCs were
detected in the indoor air samples at concentrations exceeding the Non-Residential IASLs. As
indicated in Table 1, all of compounds were detected at similar concentrations which is not
9
https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/MasterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Harris Teeter - HTE/HTE-003 PCA/2021 VI/Dec-21 IA Sampling/Report/16036 - Indoor Air Sampling Report - Harris Teeter Sign Warehouse.doc
unexpected given the open nature of the warehouse and connected office spaces. Trace
concentrations of PCE (ranging from 0.095 J µg/m3 to 0.11 J µg/m3) and TCE (ranging from
0.15 J µg/m3 to 0.28 µg/m3) were detected in each indoor air sample, however the detected
concentrations are well below the PCE and TCE Non-Residential IASLs of 35 and 1.8 µg/m3,
respectively. In addition, trans-1,2-dichloroethene (trans-1,2-DCE) was detected in SWIA-3 at
an estimated concentration of 0.050 J µg/m3, which is below the Non-Residential IASL of 35
µg/m3. Trans-1,2-DCE was also detected in the background ambient air sample at a
concentration of 0.064 J µg/m3, indicating that the detection in SWIA-3 was most likely
associated with ambient air. No other compounds were detected above the laboratory method
detection limits in the indoor air or background air samples.
The concentrations of TCE detected in 2021 in the Sign Warehouse are consistent with (albeit
lower) than those detected in the Main Building in 2012. As such, there is no indication that
vapor intrusions risks at the Site have increased over time as a result of potential migrating
groundwater impacts from the Conbraco facility.
Differential pressure measurements collected at SWIA-1 and SWIA-2 between indoor and
outdoor conditions indicated no measurable differential at the beginning and end of the sample
event, with negative differential pressure in the middle of the event. Negative differential
pressure indicates air flow from inside the warehouse to the outdoor air. Similarly, no
differential pressure was measured between the warehouse and office spaces (SWIA-3 and
SWIA-4) with the exception of the end of the sampling event measurement at SWIA-3, which
indicated a negative pressure differential indicating air flow out of the office to the warehouse.
2.3 Vapor Intrusion Risk Calculations
As noted above, the DEQ DWM IASLs are conservative and based upon a LICR of 1 x 10-6 for
potential carcinogenic effects and a HQ of 0.2 for potential non-carcinogenic effects. The DEQ
and EPA acceptable risk range for potential carcinogenic risks is a cumulative LICR of 1 x 10-4
to 1 x 10-6 or less and the acceptable risk level for non-carcinogenic risks is a hazard index (HI)
equal to or less than 1. The HI is the sum of the HQs for each compound.
10

H&H utilized the DEQ risk calculator (June 2021) to further evaluate cumulative risks for the
compounds detected in indoor air. For the evaluation, H&H used the non-residential risk
calculator and input the highest concentration of the compounds detected in any sample to
represent a hypothetical “worst case” scenario. A summary of the risk calculation is provided in
Table 1, and a copy of the risk calculator output are provided in Appendix D.
As indicated in Table 1, using the hypothetical worst-case scenario, the calculated LICR for the
indoor air samples is 9.6 x 10-8 and the calculated HI is 0.033. The risk calculation results
indicate that the LICR and HI values are orders of magnitude below the acceptable risk levels.

3.0 Quality Assurance – Quality Control
For quality assurance and quality control purposes (QA/QC), H&H collected a duplicate indoor
air sample for VOC analysis using a laboratory supplied “T-sampler” which allows for collection
of two samples from the same location simultaneously. As discussed above, the indoor air
duplicate sample (SWIA-DUP) was collected at the same sample location as SWIA-1 in the
southwestern portion of the Site and was analyzed for the select list of VOCs by EPA Method
TO-15. As indicated in Table 1, the data indicate good correlation between the two samples.
Laboratory QA/QC procedures were employed to ensure appropriate sample handling and
analysis and to aid in the review and validation of the analytical data. QA/QC procedures were
conducted in accordance with the method protocols and included regular equipment
maintenance, equipment calibrations, and adherence to specific sample custody and data
management procedures. Samples were 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. The laboratory included estimated concentrations for compounds that were
detected at levels above the laboratory method detection limit, but below the laboratory reporting
limit (J Flags) for indoor air and sub-slab analytical results.
The laboratory analytical data report and QA package for each group of samples submitted to
and analyzed by the subcontracted laboratory is provided in Appendix C. The laboratory
analytical report contains some data qualifiers which are described in Appendix C; however,
none appear to affect the quality of the data and the samples were received by the laboratory in
good condition and analyzed within holding times.

4.0 Summary and Conclusions
H&H completed indoor air sampling at the Harris-Teeter Sign Warehouse in order to evaluate
potential risks to occupants of the Site due to the presence of recent TCE detections in
groundwater at the adjacent Conbraco facility and at the request of the DEQ Brownfields
Program. A brief summary of the vapor intrusion assessment activities is provided below.
• Results of indoor air samples indicate that no VOCs were detected above the Non-
Residential IASLs. Trace concentrations of TCE, PCE and trans-1,2-DCE were detected
above the laboratory method detection limits, but well below the Non-Residential IASLs.
• Using the indoor air data from the December 2021 sampling event, H&H completed
hypothetical “worst-case” risk calculations for a non-residential scenario. Calculated
cumulative risks were well below acceptable risk levels.
The results of the vapor intrusion assessment indicate no unacceptable risks from potential vapor
intrusion to the Sign Warehouse from groundwater impacts identified on the adjacent property.
As such, H&H does not recommend further assessment or risk evaluation for the Sign
Warehouse.

** - Note that the EPA has no consensus on reference dose or cancer slope factor values for lead, therefore it is not possible to calculate carcinogenic risk
or hazard quotient. Lead concentrations are compared to the National Ambient Air Quality Standard of 0.15 μg/m3.
Carcinogenic risk and hazard quotient cells highlighted in orange are associated with non-volatile chemicals. Risks are calculated for these values if
indoor air concentrations are entered and indoor air screening levels have been established, but it should be noted that detections of these chemicals are
likely not associated with vapor intrusion.
