Site Check Report Prepared on: February 27, 2023 Adam’s Mini Mart Project Manager: Xavier Farmer, GIT GRI Project No. 6376 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Adam’s Mini Mart site is located at 963 Prospect Road in Pembroke, Robeson County, North Carolina. The property operates as a petroleum retail facility and convenience store. The site is covered by concrete, asphalt and grass. There are two 8,000-gallon gasoline USTs and one 8,000-gallon diesel UST currently in use at the site with two associated dispenser islands. On February 15, 2023, GRI conducted a site check in the area of the regular 8,000-gallon gasoline UST spill bucket. One soil sample (Reg-1-2’) was collected while spill bucket repairs were being completed and was submitted for UVF analysis of TPH-GRO using UVF technology. Reg-1-2’ was collected approximately 2 feet BGS adjacent to the non-passing spill bucket. A concentration of GRO that exceeded the RAL was reported in the soil sample collected from Reg-1-2’. Based on this information, a soil quality violation exists for this site. A LSA should be completed in order to determine the potential impact to ground water, as well as the risk ranking of the incident. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Prepared by: Geological Resources, Inc.

UST Owner and Operator Information: In accordance with the Site Check Report guidelines, the UST owner and operator information has been summarized in the attached Table 1. 2. UST System Information: In accordance with the Site Check Report guidelines, the UST system information has been summarized in the attached Table 2. There are two 8,000-gallon gasoline USTs and one 8,000-gallon diesel UST currently in use at the site with two associated dispenser islands. The NCDEQ Registered Tank Report still shows all three tanks as being gasoline, however tank three has been converted into a diesel UST. A copy of the NCDEQ Registered Tank Report is shown below: 3. Non-UST Information: There are currently no ASTs at the site. 4. Comprehensive Description of the Release: A routine compliance inspection was conducted by NCDEQ at the site on January 10, 2023. During this inspection, a defective spill bucket was observed with the regular 8,000-gallon gasoline UST and a site check was required according to NCDEQ. On February 15, 2023, one soil sample (Reg-1-2’) was collected beneath the spill bucket associated with the regular 8,000-gallon gasoline UST while repairs were being completed. Upon receipt of the laboratory results on February 16, 2023, a release was confirmed at the site. A copy of the UST-61 Form has been included in Appendix A. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Prepared by: Geological Resources, Inc.

Dispenser: includes the dispenser and the equipment used to connect the dispenser to the piping (e.g., a release from a suction pump or from components located above the shear valve) Submersible Turbine Pump (STP) Area includes the submersible turbine pump head (typically located in the tank sump), the line leak detector, and the piping that connects the submersible turbine pump to the tank Delivery Problem: identifies releases that occurred during product delivery to the tank. (Typical causes associated with this source are spills and overfills.) Other: serves as the option to use when the release source is known but does not fit into one of the preceding categories (e.g., for releases from vent lines, vapor recovery lines, and fill lines) Unknown: identifies releases for which the source has not been determined Definitions of Causes Spill: use this cause when a spill occurs (e.g., when the delivery hose is disconnected from the tank fill pipe or when the nozzle is removed from the dispenser) Overfill: use when an overfill occurs (e.g., overfills may occur from the fill pipe at the tank or when the nozzle fails to shut off at the dispenser) Physical or Mechanical Damage: use for all types of physical or mechanical damage, except corrosion (e.g., puncture of tank or piping, loose fittings, broken components, and components that have changed dimension) Corrosion: use when a metal tank, piping, or other component has a release due to corrosion (e.g., for steel, corrosion takes the form of rust) Installation Problem: use when the problem is determined to have occurred specifically because the UST system was not installed properly Other: use this option when the cause is known but does not fit into one of the preceding categories (e.g., putting regulated substances into monitoring wells) Unknown: use when the cause has not been determined C & C Native Enterprises, LLC Ghaith Mashrah 2402 N.

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 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 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 Technical Procedures 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 Method Blank · A method blank of methanol will be analyzed following calibration and following the last sample analyzed 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) Reg-1-2'Soil 20 8.52 170.4 NR NR NR Soil <0 <0 UVF Analytical Report siteLAB UVF Trilogy 2/16/2023 2/15/2023 Blake Butcher Adam's Mini Mart 6376 Xavier Farmer Site: Adam's Mini Mart Report Date: 2/22/2023 Page: 1 of 1
