facility between 1962 and 1979. Most recently, it was
occupied for various ministry -related operations, specifically
as part of the Bruised But Not Broken Outreach Ministry

DEQ, and to the chief public health and environmental officials of Mecklenburg County,
certifying that, as of said January 1 st, the Notice of Brownfields Property containing these land
use restrictions remains recorded at the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds office and that
the land use restrictions are being complied with. If the Brownfields Property is transferred, the
grantor shall submit a LURU (as outlined above) which covers the period of time the grantor
owned the Brownfields Property during the calendar year of the transfer. The submitted LURU
shall state the following:
i. the Brownfields Property address, and the name, mailing address,

Brownfields Property suitable for the uses specified in this Agreement while fully protecting
public health and the environment.
14. The consequence of achieving the desired results will be that the Brownfields
Property will be suitable for the uses specified in the Agreement while fully protecting public
health and the environment. The consequence of not achieving the desired results will be that
modifications to land use restrictions and/or remediation in some form may be necessary to fully
protect public health and/or the environment.

21
Bookers Garage/23074-19-060/21Mar2023
XI. DEO'S COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
21. Unless any of the following apply, Prospective Developer shall not be liable to DEQ,

Property except as specified in this Agreement:
a. The Prospective Developer fails to comply with this Agreement.
b. The activities conducted on the Brownfields Property by or under the control
or direction of the Prospective Developer increase the risk of harm to public health or the
environment, in which case Prospective Developer shall be liable for remediation of the areas of
the Brownfields Property, remediation of which is required by this Agreement, to the extent
necessary to eliminate such risk of harm to public health or the environment.
c. A land use restriction set out in the Notice of Brownfields Property required
under NCGS § 130A-310.35 is violated while the Prospective Developer owns the Brownfields
Property, in which case the Prospective Developer shall be responsible for remediation of the
Brownfields Property to unrestricted use standards.
d. The Prospective Developer knowingly or recklessly provided false information
that formed a basis for this Agreement or knowingly or recklessly offers false information to
demonstrate compliance with this Agreement or fails to disclose relevant information about
contamination at the Brownfields Property.
e. New information indicates the existence of previously unreported
contaminants or an area of previously unreported contamination on or associated with the
Brownfields Property that has not been remediated to unrestricted use standards, unless this
Agreement is amended to include any previously unreported contaminants and any additional
22
Bookers Garage/23074-19-060/21Mar2023
areas of contamination. If this Agreement sets maximum concentrations for contaminants, and
new information indicates the existence of previously unreported areas of these contaminants,
further remediation shall be required only if the areas of previously unreported contaminants
raise the risk of the contamination to public health or the environment to a level less protective of
public health and the environment than that required by this Agreement.
f. The level of risk to public health or the environment from contaminants is
unacceptable at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property due to changes in exposure
conditions, including (i) a change in land use that increases the probability of exposure to
contaminants at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property or (ii) the failure of remediation to
mitigate risks to the extent required to make the Brownfields Property fully protective of public
health and the environment as planned in this Agreement.
g. DEQ obtains new information about a contaminant associated with the
Brownfields Property or exposures at or around the Brownfields Property that raises the risk to
public health or the environment associated with the Brownfields Property beyond an acceptable
range and in a manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement.
h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of
Brownfields Property under NCGS § 130A-310.35.

level. Screening levels and standards are shown for reference only and are not set forth as
cleanup or mitigation levels for purposes of this Agreement.

ensure that the Brownfields Property will be suitable for the uses specified in subparagraph 12.a. above while fully protecting public health and the environment. Should groundwater be
encountered or exposed during any activity on the Brownfields Property, it shall be managed in accordance with the DEQ-approved EMP outlined in subparagraph 12.c. above, or a
plan approved in writing in advance by DEQ.
Soil
f.No activity that disturbs soil on the Brownfields Property may occur unless and until DEQ states in writing, in advance of the proposed activity, that said activity may occur if
carried out along with any measures DEQ deems necessary to ensure the Brownfields Property will be

unless conducted in accordance with an approved EMP as outlined in subparagraph 12.c. above.
Vapor Intrusion
h. No enclosed building may be constructed on the Brownfields Property and no existing building, defined as those depicted on the plat component of the Notice of
Brownfields Property referenced in paragraph 16 below, may be occupied until DEQ determines in writing that:

approved in writing by DEQ; or
ii. a vapor intrusion mitigation system (VIMS) has been:
Ldesigned to mitigate the intrusion of subsurface vapors into building features in accordance with the most recent and applicable DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance,
Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) guidance, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists
(AARST) standards, and that a professional engineer licensed in North Carolina, as evidenced by said engineer's professional seal, is satisfied that the design is fully protective of public

compliance with this subparagraph, in lieu of sending copies of actual, executed leases, to the persons listed in Section XVII (Notices and Submissions); or (ii) The owner conveying an
interest may provide abstracts of leases, rather than full copies of said leases, to the persons listed in Section XVII.
Separating Old from New Contamination
k. None of the contaminants known to be present in the environmental media at the Brownfields Property, as described in Exhibit 2 of this Agreement, and as modified by
DEQ in writing if additional contaminants in excess of applicable standards are discovered at the Brownfields Property, may be used or stored at the Brownfields Property without the
prior written approval of DEQ, except:
i. in de minimis quantities for cleaning and other routine housekeeping and maintenance activities;
ii. as fuel or other fluids customarily used in vehicles, landscaping equipment and emergency generators; and

submitted, transferred any part of the Brownfields Property during the previous calendar year; and
iii. whether any vapor barrier and/or mitigation systems installed pursuant to subparagraph 121. above are performing as designed, and whether the uses of the ground floors,
including any tenant renovations, of any buildings containing such vapor barrier and/or mitigation systems have changed, and, if so, how, and under which precautions so as not to
interfere with the

Note: Acetone was detected in most exterior soil gas samples collected; however, because acetone is a
common analytical laboratory -introduced compound, the soil gas screening level for acetone is no longer
being published. The most recent Residential Soil Gas Screening Level for acetone was 220,000 µg/m',
and none of the detected concentrations exceeded this limit. Therefore, acetone data is not summarized on
this table but remain available in the reports related to this property.
