To increase predictability and most efficiently assess Brownfields Properties and the redevelopment timing requirements of Prospective Developers or follow-on owners, the Brownfields Program has standardized the format for Site Assessments. This format has been generated in the form of a checklist to allow for ease in submission by the prospective developer’s consultant and for the Brownfields Program’s completeness review. This checklist outlines the minimum requirements and submittal format under the Brownfields Program for Assessment Requirements and Reporting. All Assessment Work Plans and Reporting submissions to the Brownfields Program must include this completed checklist in the outlined format. These requirements allow DEQ to reduce review time for the Assessment Work Plan and Report and increase process predictability for prospective developers. This checklist will also provide reliable data for risk-based decisions and further expedite the project timeline. Any divergence from these requirements will lengthen the process of assessing risks on the site, may necessitate reprioritization of a project manager’s queue towards projects that meet these requirements. Therefore, delaying production of the brownfields agreement and/or environmental management plan. Any alterations to the checklist on a site- specific basis must be reviewed and approved by the Program prior to implementation. However, in order to respect the schedule of all projects in house and keep the program’s entire project pipeline moving, we strongly recommend against seeking changes to the checklist. Based on a review of environmental and risk data from our project inventory, please note there are some new points of emphasis that are included herein: 1. For ALL residential reuses; sub-slab vapor assessment (full list EPA TO-15) is required, regardless if existing structures will be removed. If no structures or slabs exist on the Brownfields Property, exterior soil gas assessment is required within all proposed structure footprints.  2. ALL properties require groundwater data (VOCs, SVOCs and RCRA Metals) from a minimum of three sample locations, depth to groundwater and a resulting potentiometric map.  3. Soil shall be assessed based on areas of concern and redevelopment plans and across the depth interval of the cut/grading.

Graham Street and W. 28th Street Charlotte, North Carolina H&H Job No. ABS-003 1.0 Introduction On behalf of Abacus Acquisitions, LLC (Prospective Developer or PD), Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) has prepared this Brownfields Assessment Work Plan (Work Plan) for the Commercial Equipment Company Brownfields property (Brownfields Project No. 26002-22-060) located southeast of the N. Graham Street and W. 28th Street intersection in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Site). A Site location map is provided as Figure 1. The subject Site is comprised of four contiguous parcels (Mecklenburg County Parcel Identification Nos. 07907911, 07907910, 07907908, and 07907909) that collectively total approximately 7.5 acres of land. The northwestern portion of the Site (2402/2426 N. Graham Street) is developed with an approximately 4,500-square foot (sq ft) office building with an approximate 1,800-sq ft basement constructed in 1945, and the southern portion of the Site (609 W. 28th Street) is developed with an approximately 7,350 sq ft service garage constructed in 1969. The parcels located in the southeastern portion of the Site (2409 and 2415 Grimes Street) are developed with single-family residences that were constructed in 1949. The Site and surrounding area are shown in Figure 2. Proposed redevelopment of the Site includes construction of residential for-rent townhome-style buildings and residential apartment buildings with associated parking and amenities areas. Note that construction of the for-rent townhome buildings includes ground-level parking garages that are not connected to upper-level occupiable spaces except for a small landing and staircase at the entrance to each unit. An overlay of the preliminary Site redevelopment plan including locations of proposed buildings is provided as Figure 3. 2 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc This Work Plan has been prepared to address North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Brownfields Redevelopment Section requests for additional sampling to further evaluate risks associated with redevelopment of the Site. A summary of background information and previous assessment activities conducted at the Site is provided below. 1.1 Background Information Prior to the late 1930s, the Site consisted predominately of undeveloped land used for agricultural purposes (e.g., hay fields or pastures) and a rural access road. By the late 1940s, the western portion of the Site was developed with three commercial buildings associated with a motor freight station and auto repair facility. By the late 1950s, the southern portion of the Site was developed with five single-family residences. In the early 1970s, the auto repair shop in the central portion of the Site was razed and a portion of the current 609 W. 28th Street building was constructed in the southern portion of the Site. In the 1980s and 1990s, all but two residences in the southern portion of the Site were razed and additions to the 609 W. 28th Street building were completed. The Site was occupied by Starnes Pallet from the early 2000s to the early 2020s. Starnes Pallet operations included salvage of used wooden and plastic pallets. The pallets were transported to the Site and disassembled prior to transport off-Site for recycling/reuse. In addition, Starnes Pallet allowed customers to stage used totes and drums at the Site prior to transport off-Site for recycling. The totes and drums were reportedly emptied and cleaned prior to arrival at the Site. The office building in the northwestern portion of the Site is currently unoccupied but is used for storage of personal items by the current property owner (Starnes Commercial Properties LLC). The service garage building is occupied by a tractor trailer truck leasing and rental business. The service garage in the southern portion of the Site is used for routine maintenance and repair of the tractor trailer fleet. Remaining portions of the Site consist of asphalt-paved and gravel- covered parking and storage areas. Materials stored at the Site include wooden and plastic 3 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc pallets, empty totes and drums, and construction materials including lumber, steel beams, toilets, sinks, hot water heaters, and other debris. The two single-family residences along Grimes Street are occupied by residential tenants. 1.2 Previous Assessment Activities H&H completed Phase I ESA activities at the Site in December 2021 and identified the following environmental concerns associated with historical on-Site and nearby off-Site operations:  The Site was formerly utilized by Commercial Equipment Co. from the early 1970s until the late 1990s. According to information provided in available environmental documents prepared for the Site, Commercial Equipment Co. utilized one 500-gallon gasoline underground storage tank (UST) as part of Site operations. According to the Site contact and information provided in available environmental documents, the gasoline UST has not been used in over 30 years but remains at the Site. H&H did not observe aboveground evidence (e.g., vent pipes, fill ports, etc.) associated with the reported 500- gallon tank during Site reconnaissance activities. Results of the Phase I ESA identified the potential for an undocumented release associated with the gasoline UST and the potential for additional unidentified USTs at the Site was as a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC).  Review of available environmental documents indicates that a freight depot/motor line company and an auto repair facility with a paint booth operated in the western and central portions of the Site in the 1950s and 1960s. The Site is not listed in the environmental databases as a generator of hazardous wastes and there are no release incidents reported in the environmental databases associated with hazardous wastes or historical automotive repair operations at the Site. However, auto repair operations often include use of various petroleum-related products and solvents for degreasing. Additional information regarding former auto repair and freight operations was not available. Results of the Phase I ESA identified the potential for an undocumented release or releases associated 4 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc with decades of historical on-Site auto repair and trucking operations as a REC in connection with the Site.  Based on information provided in available environmental documents, the 609 W. 28th Street Site building utilized an oil/water separator (OWS) system and/or waste oil UST until the 1990s. A steel pipe was observed at the ground surface near the southern corner of the 609 W. 28th Street Site building and two floor drains were observed in the former wash bay and washdown concrete pad located along the eastern side of the 609 W. 28th Street building. Standing fluids with an oily sheen were observed within the floor drains located in the wash bay and concrete wash pad. The pipe and drains are suspected to be associated with the reported OWS and/or waste oil tank. There are no release incidents associated with the OWS drain system and/or waste oil tank and no available documentation related to routine maintenance and emptying of sub- grade components of the systems. Based on the age of the drains and OWS system/waste oil UST and the observed conditions of the drains, results of the Phase I ESA identified the potential for impact to the Site from an undocumented release associated with the floor drain and OWS system/waste oil UST system as a REC.  Information provided in the environmental databases indicates that approximately 50- gallons of diesel were released to the ground surface and contained using absorbent pads. Additional information pertaining to the surface release (Incident No. 85418) was not available in the database report or in DEQ UST Section records. According to information provided by DEQ UST Section personnel, files associated with the release incident are designated as lost and the petroleum release incident remains open. The Site contact was unaware of the reported spill and was therefore unable to provide additional details related to the remedial effort or subsequent sampling confirming the spill was adequately addressed to levels below applicable screening criteria. Based on the lack of details associated with the remedial effort and sampling information, and the open status of the release incident, the reported on-Site surface spill was identified as a REC in the Phase I ESA. 5 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc A Historical Recognized Environmental Condition (HREC) is defined as a REC which involves a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority and is not subject to activity and/or use limitations. Results of the Phase I ESA identified the following HREC in connection with the Site:  Commercial Equipment Co. installed two 12,000-gallon diesel USTs near the southern exterior wall of the 609 W. 28th Street Site building in March 1980. Petroleum impacted soil was discovered during closure of the two diesel USTs in March 1998, and approximately 270 cubic yards of impacted soil was removed from the tank basin and stockpiled on-Site (LUST Incident No. 18731). Soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis beneath the former diesel USTs (T1-E, T2-E, T1-W, and T2-W), along product lines (PL-1, PL-4, and PL-5), and adjacent to dispensers (D-1, D-2, and D- 3). According to information provided in the environmental documents, the product piping and dispensers were not removed during closure activities in March 1998. Laboratory analytical results for soil samples collected from the UST basin indicated that total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel range organics (TPH-DRO; up to 6,700 milligrams per kilogram {mg/kg}) and as gasoline range organics (TPH-GRO; up to 500 mg/kg) were detected at concentrations above the DEQ UST Section Residential Maximum Soil Contaminant Concentrations (MSCCs) established at the time. Note that there are no current MSCCs for TPH and the current DEQ UST Section Action Levels for TPH-DRO and TPH-GRO are 100 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively. In addition to TPH, UST basin soil sample results identified the presence of several additional petroleum-related compounds including n-butylbenzene, sec-butylbenzene, naphthalene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, isopropyl benzene, total xylenes, and 2- methylnaphthalene at concentrations above the DEQ UST Section Soil-to-Water MSCCs. Product line soil sample results indicated that naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene were detected in one sample at concentrations exceeding the Soil-to-Water MSCCs. 6 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc Laboratory analytical results for soil samples collected in the area near the dispensers did not identify organic compounds at concentrations above the DEQ UST Section MSCCs. In June 1998, one monitoring well (MW-1) was installed and sampled in the area of the former diesel UST basin. Soil samples collected from the monitoring well boring did not indicate the presence of compounds at concentrations above the DEQ UST Section MSCCs with the exception of C9-C10 aromatics hydrocarbon fractions which were detected at a concentration slightly above the Soil-to-Water MSCC. Laboratory analytical results for the groundwater sample collected from the monitoring well indicated the presence of benzene, naphthalene, and C9-C22 aromatics at concentrations above the DEQ 2L Groundwater Quality Standards (2L Standards), but below the DEQ UST Section Gross Contamination Levels (GCLs). Information provided in a Limited Site Assessment (LSA) report prepared for the Site by Altura Environmental on October 23, 1998, indicates that three additional shallow monitoring wells (MW-2, MW-3, MW-4) were installed south of the former diesel UST basin, adjacent to the product piping, and topographically downgradient of the former diesel USTs, respectively. In addition, one deeper monitoring well (MW-1A) was installed near existing well MW-1. Groundwater samples were collected for laboratory analysis from each monitoring well (MW-1 through MW-4 and MW-1A). Laboratory analytical results for groundwater samples collected from monitoring well MW-1 identified benzene, naphthalene, C9-C-22 aromatics, and ethylbenzene at concentrations above the 2L Standards. The compounds naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene were detected at concentrations above the 2L Standards in deeper well MW-1A. Petroleum- related compounds were not detected at concentrations above the laboratory reporting limits in samples collected from the remaining monitoring wells. Based on results of assessment activities and risk evaluations, the DEQ UST Section assigned a low-risk designation to the incident. On November 6, 1998, the DEQ UST Section issued a No Further Action (NFA) letter providing regulatory closure for the release. Information provided in the NFA letter indicates contaminated groundwater has 7 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc not been remediated to levels below the 2L Standards and is not a suitable water supply source. However, a Notice of Residual Petroleum (NORP) restricting groundwater use or other activity use limitations was not recorded on the property deed. Based on regulatory closure of the release incident without activity or land use restrictions recorded on the property deed, the release incident associated with the former diesel USTs represents an HREC in connection with the Site. 2022 Phase II ESA In February 2022, H&H performed Phase II ESA activities at the Site to evaluate the potential for impacts and assist in the management of Site media during planned redevelopment activities. Assessment activities included the advancement of seven (7) soil borings near areas of concern (i.e., drains, former and suspect USTs, former dispenser islands, and an OWS/waste oil UST system), and five (5) composite soil samples were collected from shallow soil that will likely be disturbed during future redevelopment. Assessment activities also included groundwater sample collection from five (5) temporary monitoring wells installed in upgradient areas of the Site to evaluate the potential for impact from nearby off-Site properties, areas of potential concern, and in areas downgradient of the existing Site buildings. Additionally, eight (8) exterior soil gas samples and two (2) sub-slab soil gas samples were collected for laboratory analysis within or near the footprint of proposed for-rent apartment buildings to evaluate the potential for structural vapor intrusion. Although there is no known historical landfilling, dumping, waste disposal, or other operations that would result in a subsurface source of methane at the Site, subsurface methane and differential pressure measurements were collected from each exterior soil gas and sub-slab soil gas monitoring point location to minimize the potential for data gaps associated with the redevelopment of a Brownfields property for residential use. Soil, groundwater, and soil gas sample locations from the February 2022 Phase II ESA are depicted in Figure 3, and summaries of the analytical results are provided in Appendix A. Results of soil sampling activities completed in areas planned for disturbance during future grading and redevelopment on the Site did not identify organic compounds at concentrations above the DEQ Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs). Results of the soil assessment 8 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc activities completed in the areas near the former USTs, dispenser islands, wash bay, and OWS/waste oil UST system did not identify compounds at concentrations above the DEQ PSRGs or background concentrations in the case of metals. Concentrations of arsenic (COMP-1) and lead (COMP-3) were detected at concentrations above the DEQ Residential PSRGs and regional background concentrations for metals in shallow soil that may be disturbed during redevelopment. Remaining metal concentrations detected in soil samples collected at the Site are consistent with published and established naturally occurring levels. Results of the groundwater sampling identified several organic compounds above 2L Standards and/or DEQ Residential and/or Non-Residential Vapor Intrusion Groundwater Screening Levels (GWSLs), including: carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1-methylnaphthalene, naphthalene, tetrachloroethene (PCE), and trichloroethene (TCE). Total chromium was detected above the 2L Standard in TMW-3. Results of the soil gas assessment activities identified several compounds at concentrations above the DEQ Residential Vapor Intrusion Sub-slab and Exterior Soil Gas Screening Levels (SGSLs). The chlorinated solvents PCE and TCE were not detected at a concentration above the DEQ Vapor Intrusion SGSLs in soil gas samples collected at the Site. Risk calculator results using compound concentrations detected in the soil gas samples indicate that the Site-wide worst-case calculated cumulative lifetime incremental carcinogenic risk (LICR) is less than the acceptable risk level of 1 x 10-4. However, the cumulative noncarcinogenic hazard index (HI) exceeds the DEQ and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) acceptable threshold and 1.0. Risk calculator results using the compound concentrations detected in the sub-slab soil gas samples collected within the existing Site buildings did not exceed unacceptable risk thresholds under a residential use scenario. Results of the methane gas measurements identified the presence of methane up to 7.0% by volume air (bv) in the southeastern portion of the Site (SG-5/SG-DUP), which is above the lower explosive limit (LEL) of 5% bv for methane. However, the presence of methane in the subsurface is not present at concentrations above the DEQ Brownfields Program 30% bv 9 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc residential use threshold. Methane concentrations were not detected above the LEL in remaining soil gas sample locations at the Site. Pressure measurements collected at the Site are within the accuracy limits for the instrument and are not present at levels that would allow for subsurface methane to migrate vertically to the surface at potentially explosive concentrations. 1.3 Brownfields Activities To address potential environmental concerns associated with historical on-Site and off-Site operations, the Site was entered into the DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section and received eligibility in a letter dated May 24, 2022. In the Brownfields Redevelopment Section, the Prospective Developer (as defined by the Brownfields statutes) of a property and DEQ enter into an agreement which provides for State liability protection for cleanup of identified soil, groundwater, or other impacts in exchange for making the Site safe for its future intended use. Making the Site safe for its intended use is typically accomplished by implementing land use restrictions (i.e., restriction on groundwater usage) and engineering controls (such as capping impacted soil or installing vapor intrusion mitigation systems) and not through remediation. Provided that the Site is developed in accordance with the Brownfields Agreement, the developer receives State liability protection for impacts identified at the Site. This liability protection also applies to future owners of the property, occupants of the facility, a successor or assign, and lenders or fiduciary (provided they are not otherwise potentially responsible parties). The PD elected to participate in the Brownfields Redevelopment Section Redevelopment Now option. As part of this process, a kick-off/data gap meeting with the PD, environmental counsel for the PD, DEQ Brownfields personnel, and H&H was held on September 15, 2022 to discuss prior Site history, proposed redevelopment plans, previous sampling data, and the proposed schedule for completing the Brownfields Agreement. Based on results of previous assessment activities and discussions during the data gap/kick-off meeting, in an email dated November 16, 2022, DEQ Brownfields requested collection of 10 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc additional soil samples and sub-slab soil gas samples. In addition, DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section requested collection of subsurface methane readings to further evaluate the extent of measurable subsurface methane . This Work Plan has been prepared to address DEQ requests for additional assessment. A summary of the proposed Brownfields assessment activities is provided below. 11 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc 2.0 Brownfields Assessment Activities Brownfields assessment activities will include collection of soil samples in the northern, central, and eastern portions of the Site where organic compound or metals were detected during assessment activities completed during February 2022 Phase II ESA activities. Based on the size of the 609 W. 28th Street Site building (approximately 7,350 sq ft) one additional sub-slab soil gas sample will be collected as part of Brownfields assessment activities. Based on the proposed redevelopment plan, four (4) additional exterior soil gas samples will be collected within the footprint of proposed townhome-style apartment buildings. In addition, subsurface methane and differential pressure measurements will be collected from up to nine (9) soil gas monitoring points installed in the southern portion of the Site where measurable levels of methane above the LEL were identified during February 2022 Phase II ESA activities. The assessment activities be performed in general accordance with the DEQ Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) Guidelines for Assessment and Cleanup of Contaminated Sites (Guidelines) dated September 2022, the DEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) Vapor Intrusion Guidance (VI Guidance) dated March 2018, the NCDEQ Brownfields Program Methane Assessment Protocol revised December 2020, most recent versions of the U.S. EPA Region IV Laboratory Services and Applied Science Division (LSASD) Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures guidance, and the Brownfields Program Environmental Site Assessment Minimum Requirements Checklist dated February 2022. Prior to conducting the proposed assessment field activities, H&H will contact North Carolina 811, the public utility locator, to mark subsurface utilities located on the Site. H&H will also contract with a private utility locator to screen proposed sample locations for subgrade utilities that may not be marked by the public locator. Additionally, soil boring locations will be hand cleared to approximately 5 feet (ft) below ground surface (bgs) prior to use of mechanical drilling equipment to further screen the boring locations for the presence of subsurface utilities. 12 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc 2.1 Soil Sampling Activities H&H will conduct soil sampling as part of the Brownfields assessment activities. The purpose of the soil sampling is to evaluate the potential for soil impacts in areas of the Site where field screening identified photoionization detector (PID) readings above background levels during Phase II ESA activities. Locations of the proposed soil borings are shown in Figure 3. A tabular summary of proposed soil sample depths, objectives, and laboratory analyses are summarized in Table 1. H&H will team with a qualified drilling contractor to advance soil borings at the Site utilizing a decontaminated stainless-steel hand auger and direct push technology (DPT) drilling techniques. During boring advancement, continuous soil samples will be collected from each boring and logged for lithological description. The soil samples will be field screened for indication of potential impacts by observation for obvious staining, unusual odors, and the presence of volatile organic vapors using a calibrated PID. Soil samples will be collected for laboratory analysis as described below.  Two soil borings (BF-SB-01 and BF-SB-02) will be advanced in the northern corner of the Site in the area of previous borings SG-1 and TMW-1. Soil borings will be advanced to approximately 10 ft bgs. Based upon field observations, one soil sample will be collected for laboratory analysis from the boring and depth interval with the highest potential for impacts based on results of field screening. If no obvious impacts are observed during field screening, a sample will be collected from one boring from the 5-7 ft bgs depth interval to evaluate the potential for impact at a depth greater than 2 ft bgs as requested by the DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section.  One soil boring (BF-SB-03) will be advanced in the central portion of the Site in the area of previous boring SG-6. The soil boring will be advanced to approximately 10 ft bgs. If no obvious impacts are observed during field screening, a sample will be collected from the 4-5 ft bgs depth interval to evaluate the potential for impact at a depth greater than 2 ft bgs as requested by the DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section. 13 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc  Two soil borings (BF-SB-04 and BF-SB-05) will be advanced in the eastern portion of the Site in the area of previous borings SG-2 and SG-3. Soil borings will be advanced to approximately 10 ft bgs. Based upon field observations, one soil sample will be collected for laboratory analysis from each boring from the depth interval with the highest potential for impacts. If no obvious impacts are observed during field screening, a sample will be collected from each boring from the 2-4 ft bgs depth interval to evaluate the potential for impact at a depth greater than 2 ft bgs as requested by the DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section. Soil samples selected for laboratory analysis will be placed in dedicated laboratory supplied sample containers, labeled with the sample identification, date, and requested analysis, and placed in a laboratory supplied cooler with ice. The sample will be delivered to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for laboratory analysis of VOCs by EPA Method 8260, semi-VOCs (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals by EPA Methods 6020/7471, and hexavalent chromium by EPA Method 7199. Central Shallow Soil In addition to the soil sampling described for the northern, central, and eastern portions of the Site above, six (6) shallow soil borings will also be advanced for the collection of soil samples in the central portion of the Site to further evaluate soil conditions near the Phase II ESA composite soil sample COMP-3 aliquot soil borings. The proposed soil boring locations (identified as COMP-3A through COMP-3F) are shown in Figure 3. The drilling contractor will advance each soil boring with a decontaminated stainless steel hand auger and collect continuous soil samples from each boring from the center of the hand auger bucket. The soil samples will be logged for lithologic description, inspected for the presence of visual and olfactory indication of potential impacts, and screened for the presence of volatile organic vapors with a calibrated PID. 14 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc Soil samples for laboratory analysis will be collected from the surface to approximately 2 ft bgs at each boring location. The soil samples will be collected directly into laboratory-supplied glassware, labeled with the date, time, and sample identification, and placed in a laboratory supplied sample cooler with ice. The samples will be submitted to a North Carolina certified laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of lead by EPA Method 6020. A sample summary table is included as Table 1. In addition, portions of each sample will be submitted for analysis of Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Potential (TCLP) and will be placed on hold pending receipt of the total lead concentrations. If total lead concentrations exceed characteristically hazardous waste levels, then TCLP analysis will be conducted. Following completion of the confirmation soil sampling activities, the soil borings will be properly abandoned and the surface will be repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions. In addition, soil boring locations will be estimated using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS) unit. 2.2 Sub-Slab and Exterior Soil Gas Sampling Activities Although no compounds were detected in the SSV-2 sub-slab soil gas sample at concentrations above the DEQ Vapor Intrusion SGSLs, H&H proposes to collect one (1) sub-slab soil gas sample (SSV-3) in the office area of the existing 609 W. 28th Street Site building to address DEQ’s request. The sub-slab soil gas sample location may be adjusted to 1) minimize damage to floors or floor coverings, and 2) to analyze sub-slab conditions in areas separated by building footers if indications of building footers are observed during field sample location selection. In addition, H&H proposes to install and sample four (4) temporary exterior soil gas monitoring points (SG-9 through SG-12) within the footprint of proposed for-rent townhome style apartment buildings to further evaluate the potential for structural vapor intrusion. The approximate locations of the proposed sub-slab and exterior soil gas sampling points are shown on Figure 3. The sub-slab soil gas sampling point will be installed using a rotary hammer drill and 1½-inch diameter drill bit to advance a pilot hole into the concrete slab to a depth of approximately 1¾ inches below the slab surface. A drill guide will then be placed within the pilot hole, and a 5/8- 15 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc inch diameter drill bit will be utilized to advance a boring through the concrete slab and approximately 6-inches into the underlying soil. Following borehole advancement, loose concrete cuttings will be removed from each boring, and a Cox-Colvin Vapor PinTM (vapor pin) assembly (brass sampling point and silicone sleeve) will be seated in the borehole using an installation/extraction tool and dead blow hammer to form an airtight seal. The exterior soil gas sampling points will be installed to a depth of approximately 5 ft above the water table and no shallower than 5 ft bgs. Soil gas sampling point borings will be advanced at each proposed location using a decontaminated stainless-steel decontaminated hand auger and DPT drilling techniques to approximately 7 ft bgs. An approximate 6-inch stainless steel vapor implant screen attached to Teflon® sample tubing will then be placed at the base of the borehole. Annular space around the vapor implant screen will be filled with filter sand to approximately 6- inches above the vapor implant screened interval. Following installation of sand, hydrated bentonite will be installed in the boring from the top of the sand to near the ground surface. Soil gas sampling points will be allowed to equilibrate after installation and prior to sample collection. The sub-slab and exterior soil gas samples will be collected utilizing a laboratory supplied batch certified stainless-steel Summa® canister (1-liter or 3-liter canisters depending on laboratory availability) connected to an air-flow regulator calibrated by the laboratory to collect the soil gas sample at a rate of approximately 100 milliliters per minute. Prior to sample collection, a “shut- in” test will be conducted on the sampling train and helium leak checks will be conducted at each sampling point. The purpose of the shut-in test and helium leak check is to ensure short circuiting with ambient air does not occur during sampling. A description of the shut-in test and helium leak testing procedures is provided below. The shut-in test will be conducted by connecting the flow regulator with the vacuum gauge to the Summa® canister and sealing the flow regulator with the laboratory provided brass cap. Once the sampling train is “closed”, the sample valve on the Summa® canister will be opened and the reading on the vacuum gauge will be recorded. The Summa® canister sample valve will then be closed, and the vacuum gauge will be observed to ensure no vacuum loss occurs. If the vacuum 16 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc reading remains the same, the shut-in test will be considered successful. If vacuum loss occurs, the flow regulator and/or brass cap will be reseated, and the shut-in test will be repeated until the vacuum reading remains stable. Following the shut-in test, the Summa® canister will be connected to the sample point via Teflon® sample tubing using a brass nut and ferrule assembly to create an airtight seal and the leak check will be performed. The leak check will be performed by constructing a shroud over the sample train at each sampling point and flooding the air with helium gas. Helium concentrations inside the shroud will be measured using a calibrated helium gas detector and maintained at concentrations of approximately 10% to 20% for the duration of the leak check. Once helium concentrations stabilize within the shroud, the sample tubing will be purged outside of the shroud using a syringe and a three-way valve to collect purged soil gas into a Tedlar® bag. The purged soil gas will then be analyzed using the helium gas detector to ensure that helium concentrations in the sampling train are less than 10% of the helium concentrations measured within the shroud. Following a successful leak check, the intake valve on the Summa® canister will be fully opened to begin collection of the sub-slab soil gas sample. Vacuum readings on the Summa® canister will be recorded prior to and following the sampling period to ensure adequate sample volume was collected. A vacuum of approximately 5 inches of mercury or more will be maintained within the canisters at the conclusion of the sampling event in accordance with DEQ DWM guidance. Following sample collection, the Summa® canisters will be placed in laboratory supplied shipping containers, properly labeled, and shipped under standard chain-of-custody protocols to a qualified laboratory for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method TO-15. The laboratory will be requested to use reporting limits that are below DEQ Residential Vapor Intrusion SGSLs. After sample collection, the sample location will be estimated using a hand-held GPS unit or by measuring from known benchmarks within the building (e.g., doors, windows, exterior walls, etc.), abandoned, and surfaces repaired similar to pre-drilling conditions. 17 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc 2.3 Methane and Pressure Measurements Results of subsurface methane measurements collected from Phase II ESA soil gas monitoring point SG-5 detected concentrations of methane up to 7.0% bv, which exceeds the LEL for methane but is below the DEQ Brownfields Program Threshold Criteria for Methane Site Development threshold value for residential use of 30% bv. H&H proposes to re-install soil gas monitoring point SG-5, located in the southern portion of the Site (Figure 3) and collect confirmation subsurface methane and pressure measurements to validate the February 2022 subsurface methane measurements. In addition, to address DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section requests for additional assessment, up to eight (8) soil gas monitoring points (MP-A through MP-H) will be installed approximately 15 ft in each direction to further evaluate the extent of measurable methane in soil gas and pressure differential at the Site. Additional monitoring point locations MP-A through MP-H will be installed to ensure a methane mitigation determination can be made based on DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section feedback and to further delineate potential localized areas of impact. The approximate locations of the monitoring points are shown on Figure 3, and a sample summary table is included as Table 1. The soil gas monitoring points will be installed to a depth greater than 5 ft bgs and above the capillary fringe of the water table. Based on the previous Site assessment activities, it is anticipated that the monitoring points will be installed to a depth of approximately 7 ft bgs. Monitoring point borings will be advanced at each proposed location using a stainless-steel decontaminated hand auger and DPT drilling techniques. An approximate 6-inch stainless steel vapor implant screen attached to Teflon® sample tubing will then be placed at the base of the borehole. The annular space around the vapor implant screen will be filled with filter sand to a depth of approximately 6-inches above the vapor screen. Following installation of the sand, hydrated bentonite will be installed in the boring from the top of the sand to near the ground surface. 18 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc The sample tubing for each exterior soil gas sampling point will be capped using an airtight petcock valve immediately following installation to allow subsurface conditions to equilibrate. Each point will be allowed to equilibrate for a minimum of 24-hours after installation and prior to collection of field measurements. After allowing for subsurface equilibration, H&H will collect both static and differential pressure readings from each monitoring point. The pressure readings will be collected using a Landtec Gem 5000® and will be collected prior to performing helium leak checks (described in Section 2.2 above). Following collection of the pressure readings, leaks checks described in Section 2.2 will be completed at each monitoring point. Following subsurface equilibration and successful leak checks, a Landtec Gem 5000® or equivalent device will be connected to the sample tubing and field measurements of oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and methane (percent by volume and percent lower explosive limit) will be collected and recorded by sampling personnel. After completion of the first round of measurements, H&H will cap the points with an airtight valve for a minimum of 24-hours prior to collection of a second round of methane and pressure measurements. Following a minimum of 24-hours, H&H will collect one additional oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and methane, and pressure measurement from each monitoring point. To the extent possible, H&H will collect the second round of measurements at a varying time of the day from the time at which the first sample was collected (i.e., day one measurements will be collected in the morning and day two measurements will be collected in the afternoon). A total of two pressure and gas measurements will be collected from each monitoring point. At the request of the DEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section, if results of additional methane and pressure measurements from soil gas monitoring points do not identify methane at concentrations greater than 1.25 % bv, additional methane and pressure measurements will be collected from the soil gas monitoring points approximately two weeks after initial measurements are collected. 19 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc If results of additional methane and pressure measurements from soil gas monitoring points identify subsurface methane at concentrations greater than 1.25% bv, then additional soil gas monitoring points will be installed in 15 ft increments to further evaluate the extent of measurable methane in soil gas and pressure differential at the Site. If the results of additional methane and pressure measurements from soil gas monitoring points do not identify subsurface methane at concentrations above 1.25% bv, further methane assessment will not be warranted as part of Brownfields assessment activities. Following completion of the sampling activities, the monitoring point borings will be estimated using a hand-held GPS unit. 2.4 Quality Assurance – Quality Control To evaluate the reproducibility of the sample results, H&H will collect one duplicate soil sample which will be submitted for the same laboratory analysis as the parent sample. H&H will collect a duplicate sub-slab soil gas sample for VOC analysis using a laboratory supplied “T-sampler” which allows for collection of two samples from the same location simultaneously. H&H will also collect a confirmation methane and pressure measurement at one sample location. The confirmation methane and pressure measurements will be collected approximately 10 minutes after collection of the parent measurements. Without an extensive sub-surface investigation to monitor subsurface pressure changes over time, H&H cannot definitively calculate or model decreases in soil gas concentrations and pressure over a 10-minute time interval following collection of the parent measurement. The measurement collection process does not include removal of significant volumes of air. Therefore, the confirmation sample results are expected to be adequate for validation of the parent sample results. 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 20 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/abacus capital (abs)/w. 28th and n.graham assembly/brownfields/assessment wp/26002 - brownfields assessment work plan_commercial equipment.doc management procedures. Samples will be 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. Laboratory reporting limits for each analyte will 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 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 provided 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. 2.5 Investigation Derived Waste Management Investigation derived waste (IDW) generated during the proposed assessment activities is expected to be minimal and will be placed back in the holes or thin spread on-Site. However, if significant impacts are suspected (i.e., free-product) the soil cuttings will be containerized in labeled 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. 2.6 Reporting Following completion of the assessment activities and receipt of the analytical data, H&H will document our findings in a Brownfields Assessment Report. The report will include a description of Site activities, rationale for potential deviations from the work plan (if warranted), a figure depicting sample locations, tabular summaries of the data, laboratory analytical data, a discussion of the data in comparison to regulatory screening levels, completed risk calculators as applicable, conclusions and recommendations concerning our activities, and appendices including field notes, boring logs, and well construction and abandonment records.
