NC 27610 office 919,250.9918 Facsimile 919.250.99SO MAAONLINE.COM The Brownfields Property is a 8.13-acre parcel located in Raleigh, North Carolina (Drawing 1). This Work Plan has been developed and formatted in accordance with the Minimum Requirements Checklist for Site Assessments Work Plans and Reports, February 2022 developed by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Brownfields Program (Appendix A). The Brownfields Property was wooded and agricultural until the late 1950s when a residential structure was built on the south-central portion of the site with what appeared to be a large barn in the northern portion of the site. Soil stockpiling is visible at the site in 1981 and 2008 aerial photographs and was reportedly in connection with the construction of Interstate 40. The site is currently undergoing redevelopment. The planned redevelopment of the Brownfields Property consists of multi -family residential (apartments) in eight buildings, a clubhouse building, and outdoor recreational areas. Outdoor parking will occupy the interior of the Brownfields Property and will be adjacent to the planned apartment buildings. Soil sampling and analysis documented in Mid -Atlantic's Limited Environmental Site Assessment Report (LSA) did not identify evidence of a release of petroleum and/or hazardous substances to the environment at the Brownfields Property. Imported fill materials have originated from the NCBRS pre -approved Wake Stone facility in Knightdale, NC. The imported materials have only consisted of aggregate base course (ABC) and #57 stone. In a July 20, 2023 conference call, the NC Brownfields Redevelopment Section (NCBRS) requested that Mid -Atlantic perform final grade sampling. The redevelopment of the Brownfields Property consists of an apartment complex with associated parking, recreational, and landscaped areas. Approximately 36,200 ft2 of area where exposure to surface soils could occur within the area where construction activities are taking place (note: this total includes areas where trees, shrubs, and mulch will be applied and does not include areas beyond the boundary of the Brownfields Property). Landscaped areas are planned around the northern and western perimeter of the redevelopment, surrounding apartment buildings, within the parking lot, and along the public right-of-way. A central courtyard area surrounded by a group of three apartment buildings and clubhouse will be mostly paved with the exception of landscaping adjacent to apartment buildings, an approximately 1,000 ft2 grassy area adjacent to the clubhouse and an approximately 650 ft2 yoga lawn. In addition, the northern approximately 34,500 ft2 of the property will remain as an undisturbed wooded area. EXPERIENCED CUSTOMER FOCUSED INNOVATIVE Final Grade Sampling Assessment Work Plan September 7, 2023 6500 Chapel Hill Road Page 2 Raleigh, North Carolina SECTION 2 SCOPE OF WORK The assessment includes the collection of three composite soil samples from final grade near - surface soil along small vegetated/mulch areas adjacent to apartment buildings, parking lots, and/or paved traffic areas. Most sample aliquot locations are located adjacent to parking areas where nearby pedestrian traffic is most likely. A grab sample will be collected from the yoga lawn south of the clubhouse based on its proposed recreational usage. These samples together will characterize approximately 21,550 ft2 of soil at vegetated/mulch areas adjacent to paved traffic areas. One composite sample will also be collected from the undisturbed wooded area in the northern portion of the site. Soil sample locations are illustrated in Drawing 2 and summarized (including sample depths and analytical tests) in Table 1. SECTION 3 SAMPLING METHODOLOGY Assessment activities will be performed in general accordance with the following documents. Deviations from methods outlined in these documents are noted below or will be noted in the final report. • Brownfields Program Minimum Requirements Checklist for Site Assessment Work Plans and Reports (February 2022) • Inactive Hazardous Sites Program Guidelines for Assessment and Cleanup of Contaminated Sites (July 2021) Soils collected for the final grade assessment will be collected at locations illustrated in Figure 2. A total of 21 soil borings will be advanced. Soil samples will be collected using a decontaminated steel hand auger. Soil samples will be collected from the hand auger bucket near surface (0 to 6 inches below land surface (bls)). Grab soil samples will be collected at depths shown in Table 1 unless field observations and screening (e.g., readings from an organic vapor analyzer) indicate an alternative sampling depth should be used. One equal sized aliquot will be collected at each boring. The composite sample will be created by mixing the aliquots in the field in a dedicated and new Ziploc bag prior to placing in the laboratory supplied sample jars. One aliquot location will be selected for analysis of VOCs based on field observations and screening of the samples from each the 0 to 6-inch interval. All selected soil samples will be placed in a laboratory -supplied cooler which will contain ice as a preservative. Soil sample analysis will be conducted as described in Section 4. SECTION 4 LABORATORY ANALYSIS Soil samples will be submitted to Waypoint Analytical Laboratory of Charlotte, North Carolina (NC Certification Number 402). Composite samples will be analyzed for semi -volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270E and RCRA 8 metals by 6020B and 7471 B as shown in Table 1. Soil grab samples will be tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260D. Standard hold times for these analyses are not expected to cause scheduling, shipping or quality control issues. Reporting limits and method detection limits will meet applicable screening criteria including the reporting of estimated concentrations as "J" flags. Laboratory Mid Atlantic Final Grade Sampling Assessment Work Plan 6500 Chapel Hill Road Raleigh, North Carolina September 7, 2023 Page 3 Level II QA/QC will be provided. There will not be limitations on which soil constituents are reported by the laboratory. SECTION 5 QA/QC One duplicate soil sample will be collected and will be analyzed by EPA Methods 8270E and 602013/7471 B (composite sample) and 8260D (grab sample) as shown on Table 1. Filled sample jars will be placed in ice -filled coolers. Care will be taken to ensure that sample locations exhibiting evidence of impacts will be used to collect duplicates, if applicable. Mid -Atlantic will fill the soil sample jars so that the laboratory will have sufficient sample volume for matrix spike (MS)/matrix spike duplicate (MSD) analysis. The chain -of -custody will be completed in the field and packed with the samples. The Mid -Atlantic field technician will return to the office with the packed cooler which will be collected by a laboratory -provided courier and delivered to the laboratory. SECTION 6 INVESTIGATION DERIVED WASTE MANGEMENT Investigation derived waste (IDW) generated during this assessment will consist of soil cuttings from borings advanced for soil sample collection. Prior assessment conducted at the Brownfields Property site has not identified evidence of soils meeting hazardous waste criterion. Therefore, soil displaced for the soil borings will be placed back into the boring from which the soils were generated. Excess soil will be spread at land surface at the boring site. If visual or olfactory evidence indicates significant impacts, the IDW will be contained in 55-gallon drums pending analytical results. SECTION 7 REPORTING Following completion of assessment field activities and receipt of laboratory analytical data, Mid - Atlantic will prepare a Final Grade Assessment Report to document field activities and provide analysis of the data collected. Soil analytical data will be compared to Preliminary Soil Remedial Goals (PSRGs). As appropriate, the analytical data will be evaluated using the NCDEQ risk calculator for cumulative risk evaluation(s). The report will include: • Reporting/summary of site work conducted as outlined above; • Summary of findings and possible recommendations; • All applicable tables including tabulated sample depths, analytical data, with comparison to the PSRGs, cumulative risk evaluations; • All applicable figures which will depict actual sample locations (with scale and north arrow); • Boring logs; • Mid -Atlantic's PE/PG License Number; and • The Professional Engineer's or Licensed Geologist's individual PE/LG seal and signature.

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.
