Re: Indoor Air / Crawlspace Sampling — Work Plan Addendum Model Linen & West Lewis Street Brownfields Sites 109, 111, 115, 117, 117-B, and 120 W. Lewis Street, Greensboro, NC Pyramid Project # 2022-147 Dear Ms. Eckard, On behalf of A.Z. Development LLC, in early 2022, Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, PC (Pyramid) completed sub -slab vapor (SSV) and crawlspace (CS) sampling for the referenced Brownfields properties. The work plan was approved in November 2021, and the work completed after access issues were resolved. The SSV and CS sampling was completed to fill a data gap for the Brownfields Program. After evaluation of the SSV and CS data, indoor air sampling was indicated and requested by the NCDEQ. The scope of work is included in this correspondence. 1.0 Indoor Air SamDline Locations Based on the SSV and CS sample results from the properties, the NCDEQ Brownfields Program reviewed the analytical data, evaluated the risk using the NCDEQ Risk Calculator, and requested indoor air quality sampling. Review of the data indicated that the non-residential Vapor Intrusion Screening Levels (VISLs) were not exceeded; however, there were concerns. The NCDEQ requested additional work to collect indoor air quality samples for the buildings at the properties where contaminants of concern were detected below the concrete and wooden flooring systems. Pyramid discussed the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) sample locations with the NCDEQ, and the selected locations are shown on the figures presented in Attachment A. The proposed assessment activities will be performed in accordance with DEQ's Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) Guidelines for Assessment and Cleanup of Contaminated Sites Former Model Linen & West Lewis Street NCBP Sites — Indoor Air Sampling Work Plan Page 1 Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, PC-2022-147 06-15-2023 (Guidelines) dated January 2020, the DEQ DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance (VI Guidance) dated March 2018, and most recent versions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IV Science and Ecosystem Support Division (SESD) Field Branches Quality System and Technical Procedures guidance. Collection of Indoor Air Quality samples will include several steps in preparing for and completing the work. • Work Plan preparation & approval by NCDEQ Brownfields Program — Select Locations • Arrange for 6-liter [ Individually Certified ] TO-15 Cannisters with Pace Labs • Inspect each location prior to sampling and Document findings with DEQ Checklist • Confirm the HVAC system use in each space - to be operated normally during sampling • Indoor air samples will be collected over an 8-hour time period using flow control devices • A Duplicate indoor air sample will be collected concurrently with primary sample • Packaging and FeclEx shipment of air samples in lab packaging to Pace • Evaluation of laboratory results relative to commercial and residential VISLs • A report of sampling, analytical data, and evaluation of data will be sent to the NCDEQ These general steps will be further explained in the following sections. 2.0 Indoor Air Sampling The initial sampling in 2022 did not include indoor air samples. The crawl space samples collected were considered indoor air samples for comparison with the appropriate VISLs. This work plan addendum lists the locations and procedures for the planned IAQ sample collection. • Prior to sampling, Pyramid will prepare the Indoor Air Building Survey and Sampling Form for each space where indoor air samples will be collected, and document the findings • If compounds that are potential interference compounds are found in the building survey, these compounds will be removed at least 48 hours before the sampling day • The schedule for IAQ sampling will be planned to minimize potential interference from construction or renovations which may bring in new materials • The HVAC system will be operated normally before and during the sampling • IAQ samples will be collected with individually certified 6-liter Summa Cannisters equipped with 8-hour flow controller devices • The air intake will be elevated on a stand, at breathing height (— 5 feet) above the floor • All IAQ Samples will be collected on the ground floor in building work or public areas • The work will be scheduled with the building owners to limit the access of other people to the work areas while sampling. The IAQ sample locations are shown on the maps presented in Attachment A. Former Model Linen & West Lewis Street NCBP Sites — Indoor Air Sampling Work Plan Page 2 Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, PC-2022-147 06-15-2023 3.0 Crawl Space Sampling Since CS-13 showed a detection of PCE of concern, this location will be re -sampled during the proposed IAQ sampling event. The resampling will be used to confirm the earlier concentration before planning for vapor mitigation proceeds. The sampling plan for this area includes (1) crawl space sample location designated CS-1313. Sampling procedures will include : • Under 117 B-1 Lewis Street, the crawl space has a dirt floor and no moisture barrier • The ceiling of the crawl space is wooden joists and a wooden floor below a Pub • CS air samples will be collected over an 8-hour time period using flow control devices • The crawl space has 4 foundation vents and a small access door on the western wall • Crawl space height varying from 30 inches to less than 10 inches for CS-1313. • There is a perimeter concrete wall and foundation piers within the crawl space area Crawl space sampling will be scheduled after work plan approval and will be completed with the IAQ sampling. 4.0 Duplicate Sampling For this site, the primary sample and duplicate sample ( IA-3 and IA-31D ) will be collected concurrently using a "Tee" connection provided by Pace Analytical. The intake valve on each canister will be fully opened to begin sample collection. Vacuum readings will be recorded before, during, and at the end of the sample collection. The sample collection start and ending times will also be recorded on the container label and COC. Vacuum of between -5 and -7 inches of Hg vacuum will be maintained at the end of the sample collection. 5.0 Laboratory Analyses After each sample is collected, the intake valve will be closed, and the tubing disconnected from the canister. The starting and ending vacuum will be recorded on the Chain -of -Custody form and submitted to the laboratory with the canisters. The summa canisters will be shipped in the lab provided shipping containers under standards COC protocols to Pace Analytical Services. The sample location will be documented on the sample location map, and conditions during the sampling will be documented on the sampling forms. The analytical laboratory selected for the project is Pace Analytical Services. The air sample analytical method selected is TO-15 for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) with the full list of Former Model Linen & West Lewis Street NCBP Sites — Indoor Air Sampling Work Plan Page 3 Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, PC-2022-147 06-15-2023 compounds reported, excluding acrolein and assuring that Naphthalene is included on the analyte list. The TO-15 analyses will be the same as the prior SSV and CS sample analyses. Pyramid reviewed the method Reporting Limits (RLs) and method detection limits (MDLs) for TO-15 for the target parameters/COCs. The RLS are within the range required to determine the VISLs for each of the target parameters. The detection and reporting limits were well below the residential and non-residential regulatory VISL levels. The analytical method TO-15 RLs for the method are presented in Attachment B. Pace Analytical Services will prepare the Individually Certified, 6-liter, summa cannisters with 200 ml/min flow control devices. The cylinders will be inspected before use, and if the vacuum prior to sampling is 10% lower than the vacuum documented by the laboratory upon shipment, then the cannister is considered compromised and will not be used. The sample collection methods used in the field will comply with the instructions given by the analytical laboratory. The personnel performing the IAQ sampling and collecting data are qualified by education, training, and experience. The sample start and end time will be recorded on the sample tag and Chain -of - Custody for the site. The starting and ending vacuum in each canister will be recorded on the sample tag and chain -of -custody and submitted to the laboratory along with the samples. 6.0 Quality Assurance / Quality Control Procedures The work plan provides for collection of ( 6 ) primary vapor samples and ( 1 ) duplicate sample. The location of the duplicate sample was chosen in the women's bathroom of the Boxcar to check for potential migration from the sewer and plumbing connections. The primary (IA-3) and duplicate samples (IA-31D) will be collected using a Stainless Steel "Tee" provided by the analytical laboratory to connect the two sample cannisters. These two samples will be collected concurrently and the analyses will be used for comparative analysis. Pyramid will review the Laboratory Level II report from Pace Analytical for quality assurance. The laboratory QA/QC procedures will be used to ensure appropriate sample handling and analysis and help with the review of the analytical data and data validation. 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 management procedures. Samples will be analyzed in conjunction with appropriate blanks, lab duplicates, continued calibration standards, surrogate standards, and matrix spike standards in accordance with approved methodologies to monitor both instrument and analyst performance. Former Model Linen & West Lewis Street NCBP Sites — Indoor Air Sampling Work Plan Page 4 Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, PC-2022-147 06-15-2023 Laboratory reporting limits for each analyte will be at or below appropriate screening criteria, where possible. The Summa canisters will be packaged and shipped to the laboratory under standard chain of custody protocols for analysis of VOCs by EPA Method TO-15. The sample cylinders will be checked when received by Pace Analytical Services and inspected. The cylinders vacuum readings will be recorded by Pace and compared to the vacuum remaining at the end of the test. The cylinders will be analyzed using TO-15 Method for VOCs and naphthalene, and the results will be checked for accuracy. The NC Brownfields Program requests that the laboratory review the data and report values that are above the Method Detection Limits (MDLs) and below the Reporting Limits (RLs) for TO-15 as "J" flag for estimated concentrations. The TO-15 data will be reviewed for comparative results between the primary and duplicate samples to determine if the comparative results are acceptable. The laboratory report of the IAQ air samples will be compared with the IHSB VISL standards, and the results presented in the report with QA/QC results, and chain -of -custody documentation. QA data consistent with Level II documentation will be requested for this project. Pace Analytical Services was selected for the site and the laboratory contact is Ms. Bonnie Vang (704) 977-0968. The IAQ analytical data will be reviewed and compared to the Residential and Non -Residential Vapor indoor air screening levels. The laboratory report will be reviewed and provided to Sharon Eckard in advance of the signed and sealed consultant report. A final report will be prepared with the data and submitted for DEQ review within 30 days of data receipt from the laboratory. 7.0 Reporting Following completion of the assessment activities and receipt of the analytical data, Pyramid will prepare a report documenting the vapor sampling activities, figures showing sample locations, laboratory data and QA/QC, a discussion of the data in comparison to regulatory screening levels, and conclusions and recommendations based on the site history. The report will include applicable tables, figures, and appendices. Analytical data will be compared against the applicable NCDEQ screening levels. Figures will include a north arrow, graphic scale, map legend, and other reference information. The report will include the Pyramid Corporate license information and the individual license information, and appropriate professional seal. The final Former Model Linen & West Lewis Street NCBP Sites — Indoor Air Sampling Work Plan Page 5 Pyramid Environmental & Engineering, PC-2022-147 06-15-2023 report will be submitted to the NC Brownfields Project Manager for review and approval, and for use in evaluating vapor intrusion risk and developing a revised Brownfields agreement. 8.0 Work Plan Closing The schedule for the work will be set after IAQ Work Plan approval. The initial site inspection to finalize the sample locations and fill out the Indoor Air Building Survey and Sampling Forms. Preparations for the sampling event will be made and the work will commence when the individually certified 6-liter Cannisters are available. The fieldwork is expected to be completed in one field workday, and the samples will be shipped the following day.
