1.0 Introduction

On behalf of Belmont Industrial, LLC (Prospective Developer or PD), Hart & Hickman, PC
(H&H) has prepared this Final Grade Soil Assessment Work Plan (Work Plan) for the Acme
Spinning Mill Brownfields property (Brownfields Project No. 23045-19-036) located along
Woodlawn Street and Cason Street in Belmont, Gaston County, North Carolina (Site). The Site
consists of two adjacent parcels (Gaston County Parcel Identification Nos. 3585994581 and
3585996351) separated by a north-south trending railroad corridor. The two Site parcels total
approximately 41 acres of undeveloped land and are located in a mixed residential and commercial
use area in North Belmont approximately one-mile north of Interstate 85. A Site location map is
included as Figure 1, and a Site Plan prepared by Bohler Engineering NC, PLLC depicting the
redevelopment is included as Appendix A.

A Brownfields Agreement between the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) and the PD was recorded on October 19, 2021. Land Use Restriction (LUR) Paragraph
13.e. generally states that physical redevelopment of the Site will be completed in accordance with
a DEQ-approved Environmental Management Plan (EMP). The EMP for the redevelopment dated
April 30, 2020, received DEQ approval on May 29, 2020.

Requirements of the EMP include the collection of final grade soil samples upon completion of
soil disturbance activities (i.e., following completion of utility installations and final grading). In
accordance with the DEQ-approved EMP, H&H will collect final grade soil samples from areas at
the Site that are not covered by building foundations, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, or other
impervious materials. A brief summary of background information is presented in Section 2.0,
the final grade soil assessment scope of work is described in Section 3.0, and a description of the
report documenting the assessment activities is provided in Section 4.0.

2.0 Background Information

2.1 Site History

By the late 1910s, portions of the Site located west of the railroad corridor were developed with
multiple single-family residences and the Acme Spinning Company cotton textile mill facility.
Acme Spinning Company operated the textile mill from construction until the mid-1980s.
Parkdale Mill occupied the mill facility for yarn spinning operations from the mid-1980s until
approximately 2002. The mill buildings and single-family residences were razed by 2006 and the
Site has remained undeveloped land since that time. The approximate footprints of the former
residences and mill facility buildings are shown in Figure 2.

Portions of the Site located east of the railroad corridor have historically consisted of undeveloped
land. In 2015, a gravel-covered equipment staging and parking area for the railroad was
constructed in the eastern portion of the Site.

The northern Site parcel was comprised primarily of undeveloped land with scattered barns and
storage sheds from at least the late 1930s until the late 1990s. The residences were razed in the
early 2000s.

2.2 Summary of Previous Environmental Assessment Activities

2.2.1 Acme Spinning Mill Properties

ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) completed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) activities
for the western portion of the Site in September 2014. The results of the Phase I ESA identified
the following environmental concerns in connection with the western portion of the Site:

 Historical uses in western portions of Site have included textile mill operations associated
with Acme Spinning Mill and Parkdale Mills. ECS considered the potential for impact
associated with the uses of dyes and solvents as part of historical textile mill operations to
represent an environmental concern for the Site and recommended additional assessment.
3

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/belmont industrial/final grade/work plan/final grade soil assessment work plan_ belmont industrial jcb.docx

 Soil impacts were discovered at the Site in 1992 (Incident No. 16354) during closure
activities associated with an approximately 10,000-gallon heating oil underground storage
tank (UST). Following completion of assessment activities conducted in 2007, the North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issued a No Further Action (NFA)
letter dated October 30, 2007, and closed the incident. Based on the closed status of the
release incident with no activity/use limitations, ECS identified the 1992 UST incident as
a Historical Recognized Environmental Condition and no further assessment was
recommended.

Following Phase I ESA activities, ECS completed limited soil and groundwater assessment
activities at the Site in October 2014 to evaluate subsurface conditions associated with historical
milling operations. The soil and groundwater assessment activities are documented in a Limited
Soil and Groundwater Assessment report prepared by ECS dated October 20, 2014. Specifically,
ECS advanced four (4) soil borings (B-1 through B-4) within the footprint of the former mill
buildings and collected a soil sample for laboratory analysis from each boring. In addition to the
soil sampling activities, three temporary groundwater monitoring wells were installed within the
borings and groundwater samples (B-1GW, B-3GW, and B-4GW) were collected for laboratory
analysis. The soil and groundwater samples were submitted for analyses of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and semi-VOCs (SVOCs). A brief summary of the October 2014 sampling
results is provided below.

 Laboratory analytical results for soil samples B-1 and B-3 indicated that low levels of
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) including benzo(a)anthracene (up to
2.1 milligram per kilogram [mg/kg]), benzo(a)pyrene (up to 1.8 mg/kg),
benzo(b)fluoranthene (up to 2.1 mg/kg) , dibenzo(a,h)anthracene (estimated up to 0.24 J
mg/kg), and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (up to 1.2 mg/kg) were detected at concentrations
above the DEQ Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs). No other compounds were
detected at concentrations above the DEQ PSRGs in the soil samples.

4

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/belmont industrial/final grade/work plan/final grade soil assessment work plan_ belmont industrial jcb.docx
 Groundwater sample results indicated that the chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethylene
(PCE; 250 microgram per liter [µg/L]) and trichloroethylene (TCE; 5.4 µg/L) were
detected in groundwater sample B-4GW at concentrations exceeding the North Carolina
15A NCAC 2L Groundwater Quality Standards (2L Standards) and DEQ Division of
Waste Management (DWM) Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion Groundwater Screening
Levels (GWSLs). No other compounds were detected at concentrations above the
2L Standards or Non-Residential GWSLs in the groundwater samples.

In December 2014, H&H conducted soil and soil vapor sampling activities at the Site to further
evaluate the aforementioned soil and groundwater impacts. Specifically, H&H collected nine (9)
soil samples for laboratory analysis from seven (7) soil borings (HHSB-1 through HHSB-7) in the
vicinity of former mill buildings. The soil samples were submitted for VOC and PAH analyses.
In addition to soil sampling activities, H&H installed four (4) permanent soil vapor monitoring
points (VMP-1 through VMP-4) and collected soil vapor samples for laboratory analysis to
evaluate the potential for structural vapor intrusion into future Site buildings. The soil vapor
samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of PCE, TCE, 1,1-dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl
chloride based on the results of previous groundwater assessment activities. The soil and soil
vapor assessment activities are documented in a Phase II ESA report prepared by H&H dated
January 19, 2015. A brief summary of the December 2014 sampling results is provided below.

 Laboratory analytical results for shallow soil samples HHSB-2 (0-2 ft), HHSB-3 (0-2 ft),
and HHSB-7 (2-4 ft) indicated low levels of PAHs including benzo(a)anthracene (up to
5.53 mg/kg), benzo(a)pyrene (up to 4.22 mg/kg), benzo(b)fluoranthene (up to
3.81 J mg/kg), benzo(k)fluoranthene (up to 4.37 mg/kg), and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (up
to 2.25 J mg/kg) were detected at concentrations above their respective DEQ PSRGs. No
other compounds were detected at concentrations above the DEQ PSRGs in the soil
samples.

 Soil vapor sampling results indicated that low levels of PCE (up to 13 micrograms per
cubic meter [µg/m3]) were detected in each of the four soil vapor samples at concentrations
well below the DWM Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion Sub-Slab and Exterior Soil Gas
5

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/belmont industrial/final grade/work plan/final grade soil assessment work plan_ belmont industrial jcb.docx
Screening Level (SGSL) of 3,500 µg/m3. In addition, trace estimated levels of TCE (up to
0.40 J µg/m3) were detected in two of the four soil vapor samples at concentrations well
below the Non-Residential SGSL of 180 µg/m3. No other compounds were detected at
concentrations above the laboratory reporting limits in the soil vapor samples.

To address environmental impacts identified during previous assessment activities, the southern
portion of the Site was entered into the DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Now Program and
received eligibility via a Letter of Eligibility (LOE) dated August 27, 2019. Following review of
available environmental assessment reports and the proposed redevelopment plans for the Site, the
DEQ Brownfields Program requested that additional soil and soil vapor assessment activities be
completed in the area of the former textile mill operations. H&H subsequently prepared a
Brownfields Assessment Work Plan (Work Plan), which was later revised based on DEQ
comments following their initial review. The Work Plan received DEQ Brownfields Program
approval in an email dated January 9, 2020. H&H completed additional soil and soil vapor
sampling activities at the Site in February 2020. A brief summary of the February 2020 sampling
results is provided below.

 Laboratory analytical results identified several metals at concentrations above laboratory
method detection limits in the soil samples collected at the Site including arsenic, barium,
cadmium, trivalent chromium, hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury, and selenium. The
metals’ concentrations are consistent with naturally occurring levels for the Site area and
are considered to be representative of background conditions.

 Laboratory analytical results indicated that several VOCs were detected at concentrations
above the laboratory method detection limits in each soil vapor sample. Consistent with
the December 2014 soil vapor assessment results, no compounds were detected at
concentrations above the DEQ DWW Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion SGSLs in the
February 2020 soil vapor samples.

2.2.2 Northern Site Parcel

In December 2015, EnviroAssessments (EA) completed a Transaction Screen Report (TSR) for
the Site. Results of the TSR identified the following potential environmental concerns:

 Areas of dumping were identified in the southern, western, and northern portions of the
Site where the land surface had been previously disturbed by excavation and trenching.
The debris consisted mostly of household refuse. However, some paint cans, bricks, and
antifreeze containers were observed.

 EA identified three concrete drainage pipe outfalls in the western portion of the Site. The
outfalls appeared to be active and discharge directly to the Site from the adjacent former
Acme Mill property located adjacent to the south, Jadco-Hughes property, and an adjacent
carpentry and stone shop. EA observed discolored stormwater discharge from the drainage
culvert that discharged from the adjacent carpentry and stone shop.

 Historical environmental reports identified soil and groundwater impacts on the north
adjacent, and topographically downgradient facility identified as the Jadco-Hughes
property. EA reported that two monitoring wells were present in the northern portion of
the northern Site parcel that served as upgradient background monitoring wells for
evaluation of the release on the Jadco-Hughes property. Only one monitoring well (MW-
20) was identified during the EA Site reconnaissance.

 EA identified reported soil and groundwater impacts at the former Acme Mills property
located adjacent to the south of the Site as a potential environmental concern.

H&H conducted Phase II ESA soil, sediment, and groundwater sampling activities in the northern
portion of the Site in February 2016 to evaluate the potential for impacts in areas of environmental
concern identified in the December 2015 TSR. Assessment activities included collection of five
soil samples (SB-1 through SB-5), three sediment samples (SED-1 through SED-3), and
7

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/belmont industrial/final grade/work plan/final grade soil assessment work plan_ belmont industrial jcb.docx
installation and sampling of one temporary groundwater monitoring well (TMW-1). A brief
summary of the February 2016 sample results is provided below.

 Soil sample laboratory analytical results indicated the presence of polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) and metals in soil at concentrations above the DEQ IHSB PSRGs.
Specifically, concentrations of Aroclor 1248 (13 mg/kg) and Aroclor 1254 (8.9 mg/kg)
were detected at concentrations above the IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRGs of 0.94
mg/kg and 0.97 mg/kg, respectively, in soil sample SB-4 collected near the northern Site
boundary.

 Arsenic was detected in soil sample SB-2 (central portion of the Site) at a concentration of
22 mg/kg which exceeds site-Specific background concentrations and the DEQ IHSB
Industrial/Commercial PSRG of 3.0 mg/kg. No other organic or inorganic compounds
were detected at concentrations above the DEQ IHSB Industrial/Commercial PSRGs.

 Laboratory analytical results for sediment samples collected near the observed culvert
outfalls did not identify organic compounds at concentrations above the DEQ IHSB
Industrial/Commercial PSRGs. Several metals were detected at concentrations consistent
with published and Site-specific background levels.

 Groundwater sample laboratory analytical results did not identify organic compounds at
concentrations above the laboratory method detection limits in the southern portion of the
northern Site parcel.

To address the above environmental concerns, the northern Site parcel was added to the Acme
Spinning Mill Brownfields property. The northern parcel addition received eligibility into the
DEQ Brownfields Program in an amended LOE dated June 16, 2020. At the request of the DEQ
Brownfields Program, H&H prepared an Additional Brownfields Assessment Work Plan dated
September 29, 2020, to further evaluate potential environmental concerns for the northern Site
parcel. The Work Plan received DEQ Brownfields Program approval in an email dated October
8

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/belmont industrial/final grade/work plan/final grade soil assessment work plan_ belmont industrial jcb.docx
6, 2020. H&H completed additional soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment sampling
activities at the Site in October 2020. A brief summary of the October 2020 sampling results is
provided below.

 Laboratory analytical results identified several metals were detected at concentrations
above laboratory method detection limits in the soil samples collected. The detected
concentrations are consistent with naturally occurring levels for the Site area and are
considered to be representative of background conditions.

 Results of groundwater assessment activities completed in upgradient and downgradient
portions of the northern Site parcel did not identify compounds at concentrations above the
2L Standards or the DEQ DWM GWSLs.

 Results of surface water assessment activities did not identify compounds at concentrations
above the DEQ 2B Standards in samples collected from upgradient and downgradient
locations within the on-Site unnamed tributary of Fites Creek.

 Results of sediment assessment activities identified low levels of VOCs and PAHs at
concentrations above the laboratory method detection limits, but well below the DEQ
Industrial/Commercial PSRGs. Metals concentrations detected in sediment samples
collected at the Site are consistent with published and established naturally occurring
background levels.

As previously mentioned, requirements of the DEQ-approved EMP include the collection of final
grade soil samples upon completion of soil disturbance activities. These activities were completed
in July 2022 and as such, this Work Plan has been prepared to fulfill the requirements of the EMP.
The following sections describe the proposed final grade sampling activities.

3.0 Final Grade Soil Assessment Activities

3.1 Final Grade Soil Sampling

Final grade soil sampling activities will be completed at the Site to evaluate the potential for
impacts in shallow soil within landscape areas that may pose unacceptable exposure risks to future
non-residential occupants. The soil sampling activities will be performed in general accordance
with the DEQ IHSB Guidelines for Assessment and Cleanup of Contaminated Sites (Guidelines)
dated July 2021, and the most recent versions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Region IV Laboratory Services and Applied Science Division (LSASD) Field Branches Quality
System and Technical Procedures guidance.

Based on review of the Site Plan (Appendix A), conversations with the PD’s general contractor,
and observations at the Site, landscaped areas at the Site have been divided into 12 final grade
evaluation areas. Five shallow soil borings will be advanced in each area for collection of aliquot
soil samples. One evaluation area (COMP-12) will be located in the northernmost portion of the
Site near previous sample location SB-4 to evaluate the soil cap placed in the area. The final grade
evaluation areas and aliquot soil boring locations are shown in Figures 3A and Figure 3B.

Each aliquot soil boring will be advanced from the surface to approximately two (2) ft below the
ground surface (ft bgs) using a decontaminated stainless steel hand auger. Continuous soil samples
will be collected from the center of the hand auger buck at each boring. Soil samples will be
described for lithologic purposes, observed for obvious evidence of staining and unusual odors,
and field screened for the presence of volatile organic vapors using a calibrated photoionization
detector (PID).

The soil samples selected for laboratory analysis will be placed in dedicated laboratory supplied
sample containers, labeled with the sample identification, date, time, requested analysis, and
placed in a laboratory-supplied cooler with ice. The sample cooler will be submitted to a North
Carolina-certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for the analyses outlined
below.
10

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/belmont industrial/final grade/work plan/final grade soil assessment work plan_ belmont industrial jcb.docx

Based on results of field screening, a grab soil sample from the aliquot exhibiting the highest
likelihood for impact will be collected from each of the final grade evaluation areas and will be
submitted for laboratory analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260. If field screening results do not
identify the obvious presence of impacts in an aliquot soil sample, the final grade evaluation area
grab samples will be collected from the 1 to 2 ft bgs sample interval from a randomly selected
aliquot soil boring in each evaluation area.

Aliquot soil samples will be collected from each soil boring advanced in a final grade evaluation
area and homogenized to form a composite soil sample representative of shallow soil in that
evaluation area. Composite soil samples will be submitted for laboratory analysis of SVOCs by
EPA Method 8270, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals plus hexavalent
chromium by EPA Methods 6020/7471/7199. A final grade soil sample summary is provided as
Table 1.

Following sampling activities, the soil borings will be properly abandoned and the surfaces will
be repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions. Additionally, the soil sample locations will be
estimated using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS) unit.

3.2 Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Non-dedicated equipment and tools will be decontaminated prior to use at each boring location.
To evaluate the reproducibility of the sample results, H&H will collect one duplicate soil sample
that will be submitted for the same analyses as the parent soil sample.

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
11

https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/belmont industrial/final grade/work plan/final grade soil assessment work plan_ belmont industrial jcb.docx
standards in accordance with approved methodologies to monitor both instrument and analyst
performance. H&H will request that laboratory method detection limits for each analyte 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 the final grade soil 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 requested 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.

3.3 Investigation Derived Waste

Investigation derived waste (IDW) generated during the assessment activities will be thin spread
on-Site. However, if significant impacts are suspected (i.e., elevated PID readings, presence of
free-product, etc.) the soil cuttings will be containerized in 55-gallon drums and staged on-Site
pending analytical results of a composite IDW sample. Based on laboratory analytical results of
IDW samples, the drums will be transported off-Site to a suitable facility for disposal. IDW
generated during the proposed assessment activities will be managed in accordance with DEQ
IHSB Guidelines.

3.4 Reporting

Following completion of the assessment activities and receipt of the analytical data, H&H will
document our findings in a Final Grade Soil Assessment Report. The report will include a
description of the sampling activities, a figure depicting sample locations, soil boring logs, a
discussion of the data in comparison to regulatory screening levels, laboratory analytical data
reports, and conclusions and recommendations concerning our activities.
