RELEASE INFORMATION AND SITE CHARACTERISTICS 1. Incident Information: The site of the release is located on the northbound shoulder of Highway 16 near Exit 16, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC. A topographic map showing the general site location and the surrounding area is included as Figure 1. Reportedly, a tractor trailer truck operated by B and B Transport, Inc. turned too quickly onto Highway 16 from I-485 Inner and rolled the tanker onto the shoulder on January 19, 2023. Approximately 150 to 175 gallons of gasoline was released from a rear valve onto the shoulder of the highway. The spill migrated down the shoulder of the highway and settled in the grassy shoulder at the intersection of Highway 16 North and the on-ramp to I-485 Inner. Initial abatement activities were conducted immediately by Carolina Emergency Response Team (CERT); the spill was contained by placing absorbent booms and pads on the affected area. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) brought in a load of sand to create a berm to prevent fuel from running down the asphalt. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) was notified of the spill. In response to this release, Bumgarner Oil Company contracted Geological Resources, Inc. (GRI) to supervise soil excavation activities and conduct confirmation soil sampling activities on January 19 and 20, 2023. A Site Map is included as Figure 2. 2. Historical Information: No historical information is available for the site. 3. Comprehensive Description of the Release: Reportedly, approximately 150-175 gallons of gasoline was released from one of the rear valves after the tanker rolled over onto the shoulder of Highway 16 northbound. The truck was operated by B and B Transport, Inc. 4. Description of the Site Characteristics: The spill occurred on the northbound shoulder of Highway 16 at the intersection of Highway 16 and the on-ramp for I-485 Inner. The spill migrated off the highway and settled in the grassy shoulder off the north side of Highway 16 next to the on-ramp for I-485 Inner. The impacted soil area from the spill was measured approximately 40 feet in length x 16 feet in width and a depth of approximately 1.5 feet. A site map showing the spill site, dimensions, and soil sample locations is included as Figure 2. The spill occurred within the city limits of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County; undeveloped properties are located in the immediate area. Public water is available to the surrounding area. 5. Summary of Initial Abatement Actions, Assessment Activities, and Corrective Actions: On January 19, 2023, CERT personnel visited the site and contained the spill from the affected area along the grassy shoulder of Highway 16 North. Personnel from NCDEQ and NCDOT were notified of the spill and were present at the site. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Prepared by: Geological Resources, Inc.

Sampler must use a clean pair of nitrile gloves for each sample collected. The sample will be placed in a clean, sealable bag (ziplock). Once collected, the sample must be analyzed immediately or placed on ice. The sample may be kept on ice for up to 48 hours prior to UVF analyses. If the sample cannot be analyzed within 48 hours, the sample may be extracted and kept at 4 degrees C for up to 14 days. Proper chain-of-custody procedures must be followed. Calibration The UVF Trilogy has standard calibrations stored for the following analysis:  GRO  DRO  Total PAH  Target PAH  Heavy PAH Prior to use, calibration standards are used to perform a 5-point verification on the factory stored calibrations for GRO and DRO. The calibration standards used are as follows: GRO  0.5 ppm  1 ppm  3 ppm  5 ppm  10 ppm DRO  0.1 ppm  0.5 ppm  1 ppm  3 ppm  5 ppm Operation Sample Extraction  5mg of soil are weighed into a clean extraction jar  Methanol is added to the extraction jar to create a 2x or 4x dilution o 2x Dilution: 10 mL of methanol o 4x Dilution: 20 mL of methanol  The extraction jar is shaken for several minutes to thoroughly mix the soil with solvent (methanol)  The mixture is allowed to settle for several minutes  A clean syringe is used to draw liquid from the extraction jar  A clean filter is attached to the end of the syringe and the liquid dispensed through the filter into a clean test tube  This liquid is referred to as the extraction  Please note that any samples extracted and/or analyzed offsite require a Chain of Custody documenting the collection, extraction and custody of the sample(s) Technical Procedures Dilution Preparation  An adjustable micropipette is used to precisely measure out the amount of extract needed for the dilution  The measured out amount of the extract is added to a clean test tube and methanol is added to dilute the extract. Examples of dilutions are shown below: Extract Amount 500 μL 200 μL 100 μL 50 μL 25 μL Add Solvent to the 5 mL line 5 mL line 5 mL line 5 mL line 5 mL line 2x Extract Dilution Factor 20x 50x 100x 200x 400x 4x Extract Dilution Factor 40x 100x 200x 400x 800x Sample Analyzation  The dilution is shaken to thoroughly mix, then poured into a clean glass cuvette  The desired module is inserted into the UVF Trilogy and the corresponding factory calibration is selected  “Measure Fluorescence” is pressed on the touchscreen and the reading is recorded  The reading should be between the concentrations of the calibration standards (GRO: 0.5-10 ppm; DRO 0.1-5 ppm) o Reading below the calibration standard range are recorded as below the detection limit  Detection Limit = (lower range of calibration standards range) x dilution factor (i.e. a GRO sample with a 100x dilution factor has a detection limit of 50 ppm) o Readings above the calibration standard range should be further diluted and reanalyzed o Negative readings are an indication of quenching (see below)  The reading is multiplied by the dilution factor to calculate the final concentration  Check suspected contaminated samples for quenching by running additional dilutions o According to the siteLAB Quick Reference Guide: “Quenching” can occur when the detector is swamped by too many hydrocarbons or organic interferences, producing low or negative concentrations. Test the sample at multiple dilutions to confirm results are linear and accurate.” QA/QC Calibration  The UVF Trilogy will be calibrated daily prior to use  The calibration results will be saved and entered into the calibration log Method Blank  A method blank of methanol will be analyzed following calibration and following the last sample analyzed for each day Duplicates  One duplicate will be analyzed for every 20 samples  The duplicate will be prepared from the extract of the sample and diluted to the same factor as the sample analyzed Project Name:Date Collected: Project Number:Date Analysed: Project Manager:Operator: Sample ID Matrix Dilution Factor x GRO Output (ppm) =GRO Value (mg/Kg) Dilution Factor x DRO Output (ppm) =DRO Value (mg/Kg) SS-1 Soil 20 <0.5 <10 --------- SS-2 Soil 40 <0.5 <20 --------- SS-3 Soil 20 1.09 21.8 --------- SS-4 Soil 40 <0.5 <20 --------- SS-5 Soil 20 <0.5 <10 --------- SS-6 Soil 40 <0.5 <20 --------- SP-1 Soil 10,000 1.43 14,300 10,000 0.55 5,500 UVF Analytical Report siteLAB UVF Trilogy 1/20/2023 1/20/2023 Kyle Perry I-485 & Hwy 16 Truck Rollover 6366 Scott Ball Site: I-485 Hwy 16 Truck Rollover Report Date: 1/24/2023 Page: 1 of 1 APPENDIX D Photo Log I-485 & Highway 16 Truck Rollover GRI Project No. 6366 Appendix D – Photo Log 01/19/2023: Overturned tanker truck. 01/19/2023: Overturned tanker truck.
