On March 4, 2015, on behalf of Carolina Hosiery Mills Inc., Mineral Springs Environmental P.C. (MSE) submitted a North Carolina Brownfields Application for the site. A letter of eligibility was issued for entry into the North Carolina Brownfields Program on May 27, 2015. The site currently has one open environmental incident according to North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management Inactive Sites Section files. • Incident # NONCD0001259 has been assigned by the Inactive Sites Section due to a release of tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene in the 1980s. Significant investigation activities have been ongoing since the 1990s. In 1992, a Phase I Environmental Site Audit (ESA) was performed at the site by Trigon Engineering Consultants, Inc (Trigon). The audit indicated that stained soils were present in and around an empty drum storage area, the chemical storage building, former compressor area and near the heating and air conditioning equipment. These areas are located on the western side of the building. Subsequently, Trigon conducted a Phase II ESA which consisted of collecting soil samples adjacent to the above mentioned areas. Tetrachloroethene and other chlorinated solvents were detected at concentrations in excess of the North Carolina Cleanup Standards. Additional soil and groundwater investigation activities were performed by Environmental Investigations (EI) in 1999. The results revealed the bulk of the groundwater impact is to the west of the building. In 2002 EI installed an air sparge and soil vapor extraction groundwater remediation system at the site. The system operated short time and was cut-off due to large quantities of groundwater entering the system. Numerous assessments have been performed at the site. The assessment activities have been documented in reports and submitted to the appropriate state agency. The work tasks have involved the sampling and closure of drinking water wells and the evaluation of soil vapor intrusion at various residences in the area. Table 1 summarizes the ownership history and operations performed at the site. Historical operations performed at the site consisted of casket manufacturing by Heritage Caskets from 1984 to 1992. Of note the chlorinated solvents identified in 1992 were attributed to the casket operation. American Multimedia International occupied the site from 1992 until 2013 and manufactured compact disk, cassette tapes and DVDs. The site remained vacant from 2013 to 2015. Since 2015 the site has been used for the storage of textile products by Carolina Hosiery Mills Inc. Current the owner has no plans for building expansion and will continue to use the building for storage purposes and office space. MINERAL SPRINGS ENVIRONMENTAL PC Revised Indoor Air Sampling Workplan October 4, 2021 Former AMI Site Page 2 The subject site is comprised of two parcels of land totaling 17.63 acres. One parcel is approximately 7.15 acres and is occupied with an approximately 123,000 square foot building and a small wooden structure located to the west of the building. The large building is currently being used for the storage of yarn products. A large portion of the building is not being used. A section of the building to the east is comprised of office space with carpeted and tile flooring and sheet rock walls. Drop down tiles are located in the office area. The remainder of the building exhibits concrete floor and concrete walls or metal siding. In some areas of the warehouse vinyl tile floors are present. Two electric freight elevators are present in the building. The exterior of the building is comprised of glass, concrete and metal siding. The building is surrounded by an asphalt parking lot with minor landscaped areas. Several transformers and air conditioning/heating units are located adjacent to the building. Metal plates and lids were identified in the parking lot to the rear of the building. These items appear to be associated with ongoing assessment activities and a former remediation system. The small building also located to the rear of the building was locked at the time of the site visit. However, some items such as a fork lift were observed in the building. The building appears to be connected to the city water and sewer system. The second parcel of land totals approximately 10.5 acres and is primarily fallowed. A building with tanks is located on this property and most likely contains remediation equipment. Piping from the remediation system is most likely under ground. Several monitoring wells are also located on the property. 1.2 Indoor Air and Groundwater Sampling Programs On April 1, 2016 MSE collected 10 indoor air quality samples (IA-1 thru IA-10) to determine if concentrations of volatile organic compounds were present in the building. Indoor air samples were collected in accordance with procedures provided in the most recent version of the North Carolina Division of Waste Management Vapor Intrusion Guidance document. The samples were collected in various areas of the building to obtain a thorough representation of the air quality inside the building. The sample locations are shown on Drawing 2. None of the 10 indoor air samples indicated the presence of compounds at concentrations above the IHSB Screening Values. Chloroform, chloromethane dichlorodifluoromethane and trichlorofluoromethane were detected and are associated with refrigerants and also found as a part of the byproducts of the chlorination of drinking water was also detected at concentrations above their respective IHSB Screening Values in Sample 3. Tetrachloroethene (PCE) was detected in sample location IA-1 at a concentration well below IHSB Screening Values. Several other compounds including 2 propanol, 2-butanone, actenone were also detected but at concentrations below the IHSB Screening Values. On April 1, 2016 steps were also taken to collect groundwater samplings from six onsite monitoring wells. The six wells sampled were monitoring wells, MW-1, MW-7, MW-8, MW-9, MW-10 and MW-13 (see Drawing 2). The collected samples will then be transported to ENCO located in Cary, North Carolina for analysis of volatile organic compounds according to EPA SW- 846 Method 8260. The groundwater sample obtained from monitoring well MW-7 did not contain compounds above the laboratory practical quantitation limit (LPQL). Several chlorinated compounds were detected in the groundwater samples obtained from monitoring wells MW-1, MW-8, MW-9, MW-10 and MW-13 at concentrations above the North Carolina Groundwater Quality Standard (NCGWQS). The primary compounds detected were PCE, trichloroethene (TCE) and cis 1,2 dichloroethene (cis 1,2 DCE). PCE was detected at concentrations ranging from a low of 16 micrograms per liter (ug/1) in monitoring well MW-8 to a high of 21,000ug/l in monitoring well MW-13. TCE was detected at concentrations ranging from a low of 3.6ug/I in MINERAL SPRINGS ENVIRONMENTAL PC Revised Indoor Air Sampling Workplan October 4, 2021 Former AMI Site Page 3 monitoring well MW-8 to a high of 2,100ug/I in monitoring well MW-10. Cis 1,2 DCE was detected at concentrations ranging from a low of 3.1 ug/I in monitoring well MW-8 to a high of 730ug/I in monitoring well MW-1. Vinyl chloride was detected in one monitoring well MW-1 at a concentration of 180ug/I which is above the NCGWQS. Based on a thorough review of previously prepared documents mercury impact has not been assessed in the soil or groundwater. Based on the operations previously performed at the site, mercury vapor intrusion does not appear to be a concern. A second indoor air sampling program was requested by Sharon Eckard with the North Carolina Brownfields Program on September 14, 2021 during a site visit. Please find a Revised Indoor Air Sampling Work Plan to perform the associated scope of work. 2.0 INDOOR AIR SAMPLING PROGRAM 2.1 Purpose Mineral Springs Environmental PC (MSE) was contracted to perform an indoor air assessment of the potential for solvent vapors to be present in the building. This assessment will consist of collecting air samples for laboratory analysis at various locations within the building using summa canisters. Table 2 summarizes the sampling program to obtain additional indoor air analysis. 2.2 Scope of Work The scope of work is based on a site visit conducted between Sharon Eckard with the North Carolina Brownfields Program and representatives for the owners of the AMI facility on September 14, 2021. MSE will collect up to 11 indoor air quality samples to determine if concentrations of volatile organic compounds are present in the building. In addition to the above, an ambient background air sample will be collected outside and on the property. The canister will be placed in an area upwind of the facility. The sample will be analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) according to EPA TO-15. The proposed sampling locations are shown on Drawing 2. Indoor air samples will be collected in accordance with procedures provided in the most recent version of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Brownfields Program Vapor Intrusion Guidance document dated July 2021. Appendix A contains a copy of the completed checklist associated with the guidance document. The samples will be collected in various areas of the building to obtain a thorough representation of the air quality inside the building. Prior to placing the canisters, a thorough inspection will be performed of the interior of the building. The inspection will involve looking for cracks in the floor and building walls. In addition, the inspection will look for floor drains, elevator shafts or other areas where vapors could enter, and will include the identification and removal of any products found in the building that contain the compounds or contaminants previously detected in the site groundwater. Any identified compounds will be removed within 24 to 72 hours and typically within 48 hours before sampling activities commence. The inspection will determine the locations of the canisters. The preliminary sample locations are shown on Drawing 2. Air Sampling Activities Six liter individually certified, by the laboratory, summa canisters will be used to collect the samples and will be deployed for a period of eight hours with regulators pre-set at the MINERAL SPRINGS ENVIRONMENTAL PC Revised Indoor Air Sampling Workplan October 4, 2021 Former AMI Site Page 4 laboratory. Prior to setting the canister for sampling, each sampling gauge will be checked to assure the summa canister is issued with the maximum achievable pressure of 30 inches of mercury. The target final vacuum reading of at least -5 inches of mercury will be used for sample canister retrieval. All pre and post sampling measurements will be recorded. The run time of eight hours represents an eight hour work day. Based on the groundwater analytical reported in April 2016, four primary chlorinated solvents (PCE, TCE, 1,2 DCE and Vinyl Chloride) were detected, the samples will be analyzed for VOCs according to EPA TO-15. All results will be reported in micrograms per cubic meter and at the lowest possible detection limit. Each canister will be set at a height of approximately five feet above the concrete floor of the building. Using a duplicate manifold sampling connection and a single fill port, three duplicate samples will be collected during the eight hour period and also analyzed for VOCs according to EPA TO 15. Two duplicates will be collected in the warehouse area of the building and one will be collected in the office area. As stated above, on ambient outside are sample will be collected in an upwind location. During the testing all windows and doors will remain shut. Limited access will be required to place and retrieve the canisters. Pictures will also be obtained to document the locations of the canisters. During the sample collection activities periodic temperature and pressure gauge readings will be obtained within the building and outside the facility. Overall weather conditions will also be documented. The building conditions, including HVAC conditions, will remain the same within 24 hours prior to and during the sampling. Laboratory Analysis Once the summa canisters have been retrieved, each canister will be shipped using an overnight carrier following strict chain -of custody procedures. All canister readings, canister and regulator identification numbers, sampling times will be recorded on the field log sheet and/or chain -of -custody. The samples will be analyzed for volatile organic compounds according to EPA TO-15 by Eurofins Air Toxics, LLC located in Folsom, California. The Eurofins Air Toxics compound list, including naphthalene is contained in Appendix B. Also included is Eurofins QA Method Summary for EPA TO-15 Low level analysis. The laboratory report will include estimated compound values (J values). Eurofins uses Level II QA/QC. Based on a thorough review of previously prepared documents mercury impact has not been assessed in the soil or groundwater. Based on the operations previously performed at the site, mercury vapor intrusion does not appear to be a concern. Based on a review of the Eurofins compound list, acrolein will not be analyzed. 3 INDOOR AIR SAMPLING REPORT A North Carolina Licensed Geologist will prepare and submit a signed and sealed Indoor Air Sampling Report to the Brownfields Program. The report will provide a discussion of the indoor air sampling procedures and analytical results. The report will provide a discussion of the analytical results and compare the results to the North Carolina Brownfields Program June 2021 Non -Residential Indoor Air Vapor Intrusion Screening Levels. The analytical results will also be evaluated using the DWM June 2021 Risk Calculator. 4 SCHEDULE Once the workplan has been reviewed and approved by the Brownfields Program, work tasks will commence. The overall field activities and analysis of samples will take approximately two MINERAL SPRINGS ENVIRONMENTAL PC Revised Indoor Air Sampling Workplan October 4, 2021 Former AMI Site Page 5 weeks to complete. The report will take approximately one day to complete once all the data has been received. In addition, a Brownfields Receptor Survey will also be performed as part of the Brownfields Assessment for a Brownfields Agreement. 5 SITE HEALTH AND SAFETY A site -specific health and safety plan (HASP) will be prepared by MSE personnel to be utilized by MSE personnel. Subcontractors working within the exclusion area will either prepare their own equivalent HASP or follow the MSE plan. Site workers will have received OSHA 40-hour training as specified in Title 29 CFR 1910.120 with eight -hour refresher training within the last year.

YDiscuss samples to be collected by media and source area/location. Generally, the r soning for the sample locations selected. Include a discussion of the following and reference each appendix or attachment where located: iTable 2 — see example Tables in Section 8 below - Briefly list and describe the vapor intrusion data gaps the assessment is attempting to fill and note other pertinent information in a sampling summary, including background and QA/QC sain es. U11 FigureA — see format requirements in Section 8 below - Proposed Sample Location Map - Provide a figure in the work plan noting the location of each of the proposed soil gas, sub -slab, or indoor air samples overlain with planned building layouts, historical areas of concern, and previously identified impacts. Note that DEQ DWM VI Guidance states that "Due to spatial variability in sub -slab soil gas concentrations over a slab, DWM generally recommends the collection of one sample per 1,000 square feet of first floor building area." Sampling density could vary due to site -specific considerations, and with prior approval from DEQ. Section 3 — Sampling Metlhodolo For all air sampling planned, provide the following information in relevant section 3.a or 3.b discussed below: Reference the most current versions of DEQ DWM and ITRC guidance documents applicable to vapor intrusion sampling, and any other applicable standard operating procedures. Note any deviations or methodology planned that is not covered by such guidance. P�Discuss timing of sampling and whether indoor air and sub -slab sampling will be occurring contemporaneously; if so plan to conduct indoor air sampling first so that the creation of the sub -slab point does not influence the indoor air data. Atate the analytes for which each sample will be analyzed for (briefly) and include the Vlytes that are specifically being requested for reporting. Reference Table 2, Indicate if mercury has previously been assessed for/detected in soil or groundwater ano whether mercury vapor intrusion concerns are present. Discuss how and when vacuum readings will be collected (for Summa canisters) — field vacuum readings should be recorded on the chain of custody forms for ease in comparing to reported laboratory receipt vacuum readings. VIMS Assessment Checklist Version 1, July 2021 Dote: Per DEQ DWM VI Guidance, Summa canisters that have lost greater than 10% of the initial recorded lab vacuum when received in the field will not be used for sampling. It is assumed that Summa canisters are issued with a maximum achievable pressure of 30" Hg. If canisters are received in the field with less than 27" Hg, initial lab pressure measurements should be documented to confirm less than a 10% volume loss or a replacement summa canister obtained. Otherwise, sample results may be rejected. YProvide the sample collection time duration for all samples. 54tate how duplicate sample(s) will be collected. Andicate a targeted final vacuum reading of at least -5" Hg. Note if the vacuum measurement is less than this, sample acceptance will be in jeopardy and DEQ Brownfields may request a resample. Include planned flow rate for Summa canister sampling or time allotting for passive samplers. Note: Per DEQ DWM VI Guidance, the maximum allowable flow rate is 200 mL/min. Section 3.a. Exterior Soil gas / Sub -Slab Sampling ❑ Describe depths of samples to be collected (Reference example Table 2 in Section S below) or how that decision will be made in the field, if needed. Refer to DEQ DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance for reference to minimum depths of samples. ❑ Locate sub -slab samples in areas of the slab that are near known or potential sources of volatile contaminants and in areas that could encourage vapor migration, such as sub - grade trenches, pits, and elevator shafts, but position them at least 5 feet from exterior walls or cracks/penetrations. ❑ Locate sub -slab samples across the building(s) being assessed being mindful of any building features that could indicate the presence of sub -walls or footers that would restrict sub -slab vapor flow. ❑ Describe installation methodology construction details of the sub -slab and/or soil vapor samples, including filter pack and sealants. Use of new and dedicated tubing is required. ❑ Discuss sample collection procedures. Include the following, at a minimum: ❑ Equipment to be used (Summa canisters & size, type of tubing, vapor pins, etc.) ❑ Indicate if sub-slab/exterior soil gas sample points will be permanent or temporary. ❑ Whether Summa canisters are batch- or individually -certified. ❑ Discuss stabilization time of the sampling points prior to sampling. Note: Inadequate stabilization times have been known to impact sample results through the inadvertent collection of vapors off -gassing from soil gas/sub slab installation materials, potentially creating false positive results that would then require a resampling event, Recommended stabilization times are outlined below: VIMS Assessment Checklist Version 1, July 2021 a, Sub -slab with minimally invasive points (e.g. Vapor Pins): Manufacturer's guidelines generally suggest 20 minutes may be sufficient with an airtight cap installed; b. Sub -slab points (other than minimally invasive points): at least 24-48 hours (to be purged at installation and at time of sampling with an air -tight cap in place in the interim); or c. Exterior soil gas points: 48 hours to allow materials used during installation to off -gas prior to sampling (to be purged at installation and at time of sampling with an air -tight cap in place in the interim). ❑ Describe purging methods and volumes — must take into account not only the volume of the tubing but also of the annulus. Stagnant air inside soil gas probes and sampling trains must be purged prior to sample collection. Three to four system purge volumes are recommended as a minimum value. The investigator should use a low purge rate with a maximum of 200 mL/min. ❑ Describe leak check procedures for sub -slab and soil gas samples. Note: helium check of entire sample train is required; a shut-in test is also recommended as a best management practice. ❑ Describe how the helium meter will be connected to the sampling train. Note that directly connecting the helium meter to the sampling train without a backflow preventer is not allowed. ❑ Record the type of material found under the slab or in the soil gas borings. ❑ Record stab thickness for sub -slab samples and provide soil boring logs for soil gas samples. ❑ Discuss sample point abandonment and/or securement (if permanent points) Note: Exterior soil -gas sampling may not necessarily be indicative of site conditions following redevelopment efforts and confirmation sub -slab sampling may be necessary following construction to confirm that a potential vapor intrusion pathway is not present, Section 3.b. Indoor Air / Crawl Space Sampling Zinclude a chemical survey of any potential interference compounds stored or used inside the building (Refer to example Indoor Air Building Survey and Sampling Form that will be completed for each distinct area of the Brownfields Property under assessment. The Indoor Air Form is included within the DEQ DWM VI Guidance). CdDescribe steps to remove any potential interference compounds from the sampling area sufficiently ahead of the sampling event (The DEQ DWM VI Guidance recommends removal within 24-72 hours and typically within 48 hours of sampling as indicated on the Indoor Air Building Survey and Sampling Form). Pf Schedule sampling to minimize any potential for interference from compounds used during construction or finishing of new buildings, etc. Describe any sampling copstraints, Describe building conditions (including RVAC conditions) that will exist within 24 2s prior to and during the sampling. Discuss sample collection procedures. Include the following, at a minimum: VIMS Assessment Checklist Version 1, July 2021 i Equipment to be used (passive samplers, Summa canisters & size, etc.) YPlacement height of Summa canisters or passive samplers for indoor air and ambient air collection to account for site specific breathing zone height of anticipated occupants.

Appendix E Air Toxics Page 55 B ANALYTICAL METHODS Section 12.0 Method: EPA Method TO-14A/TO-15 Volatile Organic Compounds (Low -Level) Eurofins Air Toxics SOP #83 Revision 22 Effective Date: November 4, 2020 Methods Manual Summary Description: This method involves full scan gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) analysis of whole air samples collected in evacuated stainless steel canisters. Samples are analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using EPA Method TO-14A/TO-15 protocols. An aliquot of up to 400 mL of air is withdrawn from the canister utilizing a mass flow controller. This volume is loaded onto a hydrophobic multibed sorbent trap to remove water and carbon dioxide and to concentrate the vapor sample. The focused sample is then flash -heated to sweep adsorbed VOCs onto a GC/MS for separation and detection. Compounds are detected using a mass spectrometer operating in full scan mode. Eurofins Air Toxics maintains a suite of TO-14A/TO-15 methods, each optimized to efficiently meet the data objectives for a wide range of targeted concentration ranges. The methods, their reporting limits, and typical applications are summarized in the table below. This method summary describes TO-14A/T0-15 (Low -Level). Eurofins Air Toxics Method Base Reporting Limits Typical Application TO-14A/TO-15 (5&20) 5 — 20 ppbv Soil gas and ppmv range vapor matrices TO-14A/TO-15 (Standard or Quad) 0.5 — 5.0 ppbv Ambient air, soil gas, and ppbv level va or matrices TO-15 (Extended) 0.2 — 5.0 ppbv Ambient air and ppbv level vapor matrices TO-14A/TO-15 Low-level 0.1 — 1.0 ppbv Indoor and outdoor air TO-14A/TO-15 SIM 0.01 — 0.5 ppbv Indoor and outdoor air TO-15 HSS 0.01 — 0.1 ppbv Soil gas and other high concentration matrices Certain compounds are not included in Eurofins Air Toxics' standard target analyte list. These compounds are communicated at the time of client proposal request. Unless otherwise directed, Eurofins Air Toxics reports these non -routine compounds with partial validation. Validation may include a 3-point calibration with the lowest concentration defining the reporting limit, no second source verification analyzed, and no method detection limit study performed unless previous arrangements have been made. In addition, stability of the non-standard compound during sample storage is not validated. Full validation may be available upon request. Since Eurofins Air Toxics applies TO-15 methodology to all SummaTM canisters regardless of whether TO-14A or TO-15 is specified by the project, Eurofins Air Toxics performs a modified version of method TO-14A as detailed in Table 1. Please note that Methods TO-14A and TO-15 were validated for specially treated canisters. As such, the use of Tedlar bags for sample collection is outside the scope of the method and is not recommended for ambient or indoor air samples. It is the responsibility of the data user to determine the usability of TO-14A and TO-15 results generated from Tedlar bags. COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL •ti` e u rof i n s Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual ti•• Appendix E Air Toxics Page 56 All samples submitted for TO-15 Low -Level are screened prior to analysis. If samples contain high concentrations of target and/or non -target VOCs, samples may be analyzed by an alternative TO-15 method (i.e., Standard or 5&20) with a higher dynamic calibration range.
