Dear Mr. Clayton:
As authorized by your acceptance of Roy Consulting Group Corporation (Roy Consulting
Group) proposal number P071050 dated July 3, 2007, we are pleased to submit this
Report of Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. Enclosed is one (1) copy of the
assessment report.
A description of the Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment field services
completed July 16, 2007, including sample analytical data, is provided in the attached
report. Based on the field observations, field screening results and laboratory analytical
data, we recommend installing additional soil borings to further investigate and delineate
the petroleum hydrocarbons identified in the soil and groundwater samples collected at the
former underground storage tank location and in the soil sample collected below the
former chemical room. Since the soil sample collected from the former Underground
Storage Tank (UST) area contains petroleum hydrocarbons above the regulated level of 10
parts per million (ppm) for GRO and 40 ppm for DRO petroleum hydrocarbons, the owner
should inform the State of North Carolina Underground Storage Section that a release has
occurred from the former UST. If we can be of further assistance, or if you have any
questions concerning this report, please do not hesitate to call us at 704.968.4111.
Respectfully submitted,
ROY CONSULTING GROUP CORPORATION

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As authorized by your acceptance of Roy Consulting Group Corporation (Roy Consulting
Group) proposal number P071050 dated July 3, 2007, we are pleased to submit this
Report of Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment for the Former Zagora Gear
Products Facility located on 1327 South Mint Street, Charlotte, North Carolina. Our report
summarizes the project background, sampling methodology, the laboratory results and
recommendations.
CDA Environmental, LLC completed the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report for
the subject property. CDA identified three Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) in this
report and recommended limited subsurface investigations of these areas to identify
potential environmental soil and groundwater hazards associated with former facility
operations. Roy Consulting Group contracted Mr. Jim Roy of Roy Construction Group,
North Carolina Professional Geologist Number 1952, to complete the environmental field
services.
AEC 1 exists as the area between the existing property and the Industrial and Textile
Supply property located north of the subject property. The soil sample collected from this
location was analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons as THP Gasoline Range Organics (GRO)
and Diesel Range Organics (DRO) utilizing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method
3545 and 8015. The sample did not contain detectable levels of DRO and GRO.
AEC 2 exists as the former chemical room where staining around the existing floor drain
was identified in the Phase I report. The soil sample from this location was analyzed for
volatile organic compounds (VOC) utilizing EPA Method 8260, priority pollutant metals
utilizing EPA Method 3050/6010, base neutrals and acid extractables (SVOC) (without
pesticides or PCBs) utilizing EPA Method 3545/8270 and petroleum hydrocarbons as THP
GRO and DRO utilizing EPA method 3545 and 8015. The sample did not contain
detectable levels of GRO. The sample contained 630 mg/kg of DRO which is above the
NC Soil Standard of 40 parts per million (ppm) for DRO petroleum hydrocarbons.
Numerous metals were identified in the sample from the lowest level of 0.047 mg/kg for
Mercury to the highest level of 200 mg/kg for Copper which are below the NC
Industrial/Commercial Soil Cleanup Levels. The VOC sample contained 140 ug/kg (0.14
mg/kg) of Acetone which is below the NC Residential Soil Cleanup Levels of 1,564 mg/kg
for Acetone. The SVOC sample contained Fluoranthene and Pyrene at 700 ug/kg (0.7
mg/kg) and 650 ug/kg (0.65 mg/kg), respectively. These levels are below the NC
Residential Soil Cleanup Levels of 620 mg/kg for Fluoranthene and 469 mg/kg of Pyrene.
AEC 3 exists as the area between the two existing on-site buildings (immediately south of
the most northeast on-site building) in the area of the former UST. The soil sample
collected from this location was analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons as GRO and DRO
utilizing EPA method 3545 and 8015. The sample contained 57 mg/kg of GRO and 2,500
mg/kg of DRO which is above the NC Soil Standard of 10 ppm for GRO and 40 ppm for

DRO petroleum hydrocarbons. Since the soil sample collected from the former
Underground Storage Tank (UST) area contains petroleum hydrocarbons above the
regulated level of 10 parts per million (ppm) for GRO and 40 ppm for DRO petroleum
hydrocarbons, the owner should inform the State of North Carolina Underground Storage
Section that a release has occurred from the former UST. The groundwater sample
collected from this location was analyzed for SVOC (without pesticides or PCBs) utilizing
EPA Method 625 and VOC (BTEX) utilizing EPA Method 602. The sample analyzed for
SVOC contained 34 ug/l of Fluorene, 68 ug/l of Naphthalene and 45 ug/dl of
Phenanthrene. Levels of Naphthalene exceed the North Carolina Groundwater Quality
Standards (NCGWQS) for Naphthalene of 21 ug/l. Levels of Fluorene and Phenanthrene
were below the NCGWQS of 280 ug/l and 210 ug/l, respectively. The sample did not
contain detectable levels of VOC.
Based on the field observations, field screening results and laboratory analytical data
collected, we recommend installing additional soil borings to further investigate and
delineate the petroleum hydrocarbons identified in the soil and groundwater sample
collected at the former underground storage tank location and in the soil sample collected
below the former chemical storage room.

light industrial manufacturing.
Facility Status – The two buildings located on-site are currently used for storage of
furniture and equipment.
Use of Surrounding Properties – The surrounding properties are a mix of residential,
commercial offices and light industry. A new residential housing development is currently
under construction to the south of the subject property.
Site Geology and Hydrogeology – The site is located on the southwest side of Uptown
Charlotte. The surrounding area is commercially developed with a new residential area
generally up-gradient to the south of the site. The areas to the north, west and east
consist of offices and private businesses. We did not identify a groundwater well on-site.
The topography is generally flat and the site elevation is approximately 750 feet above
mean sea level. Storm sewers and drains are present along South Mint Street to the north
of the subject property, Lincoln Street to the east of the subject property and South
Church Street to the south of the subject property. Several storm water catch basins are
also installed along the parking area to the west of the subject property buildings. Surface
water runoff flows into these areas during precipitation events. Based on the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) map, the subject property is not located in the
100 year or 500 year flood plain.
The 1985 NC Geologic Map describes bedrock as a Late Proterozoic to Middle Peleozoic
metamorphosed granite. Generally silty and sandy clay layers overlay the granite and
poorly developed silt layers compose the topsoil layers.

3.0 SITE INVESTIGATION
Mr. Roy completed a visual site assessment upon arrival on-site to identify the locations of
the AECs identified in the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report. After the AECs
were identified, soil boring locations were selected based on utility locations as marked by
the utility contractors.
Concrete was located at the surface at AEC 2 and AEC3. In these locations, a concrete
coring machine was utilized to core through the approximate 0.5 foot concrete layers.
Next, Mr. Roy installed each soil boring utilizing a stainless-steel hand auger. The hand
auger was decontaminated between each soil boring and between every two feet of
advancement at each specific soil boring. Decontamination was completed by scrubbing
the hand auger with alconox, rinsing the auger in tap water and rinsing the auger a second
time with deionized water.
Soil was collected from each soil boring at one to two foot intervals. Some soil from each
interval was immediately placed in a zip-lock bag dedicated for the specific soil interval
and marked with the soil interval depth utilizing an indelible marker. The soil was allowed
to warm in the sun and then screened with a factory calibrated Foxboro TVA-1000 air
monitoring instrument. This soil was utilized for on-site screening only. Soil samples were
then collected for laboratory analysis from the soil interval with the highest volatile organic
readings, in parts per million as detected by the Foxboro TVA-1000.

4.0 SOIL AND GROUNDWATER SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYTICAL RESULTS
4.1 Soil and Groundwater Sample Collection Information
Soil and groundwater samples were collected under the responsible charge of Mr. Jim Roy
of Roy Construction Group, NC Licensed Geologist Number 1952. The soil samples were
collected in a manner that caused the least disturbance of the internal structure of the soil
and reduced the exposure to heat, sunlight and open air. Groundwater samples were
collected in a method that obtained groundwater representative of the sample location.
Care was taken to keep the samples from being contaminated by other material at the site
or from contaminating other samples taken from the site. Disposable gloves were worn by
the sample collector and were changed between samples to avoid cross-contamination.
Clean, stainless steel spoon samplers were used to collect each soil sample, with the
exception of the VOC samples where dedicated plastic syringe sample corers supplied by
the laboratory were used. For these samples, a new syringe sampler was used to collect
each sample.
For practical reasons, it was necessary to collect soil samples directly from the hand auger
bucket. Every effort was made to reduce the loss of contaminants from the sample by
collecting samples from intact soil within the bucket.
Groundwater samples were collected utilizing new, dedicated bailers. For each sample, the
bailer was carefully lowered into the borehole to avoid aeration of the water and agitation
of particulate matter. Groundwater was then captured in the bailer and the bailer was
brought to the surface. Several gallons of groundwater were purged from the borehole
utilizing this technique. Next, a new, dedicated bailer was lowered into the borehole to
collect a groundwater sample. The bailer was retracted slowly and gently and the
captured groundwater was emptied into the appropriate container until the correct volume
was collected. First, the VOC vials were filled slowly to avoid volatilization of
contaminants. Water was poured into the vial in such a manner as to create an upper
meniscus above the top of the vial to prevent leaving air space in the sample vial when it
is closed. The groundwater was immediately placed in dedicated sample bottles for VOC
analysis. After the VOC water sample bottles were filled, the SVOC sample bottles were
filled using the same bailing technique.
For both soil and groundwater, samples for VOC analysis were collected with minimal
handling and agitation. Immediately upon removal from the ground, each sample was
placed in a proper container for the analysis to be performed. The sample filled the entire
volume of the container, leaving no headspace unless the method required otherwise (soil
VOC’s). As soon as each sample was collected in the sample container, the container was
immediately capped, sealed and stored at approximately 4 degrees Celsius (4°C) in a
cooler with ice.
The soil samples were collected in undisturbed material within the soil boring. Sample

Charlotte, North Carolina Page 10 of 13
containers were labeled with the sample location identification, the date and time of
collection, the analysis to be performed, the preservative added (if any), the sampler’s
initials and other pertinent information for sample identification. The labels contained a
unique identifier that can be traced to the chain-of-custody form. Quality control
temperature blank samples accompanied the samples, and the laboratory completed
quality control testing.
4.2 Sample Storage
The samples were stored for transport in a manner that prevented breakage. The samples
were kept at a temperature of approximately 4°C following collection in a cooler with ice
and were transported to the laboratory following sample collection.
4.3 Chain-of-Custody Procedures
Chain-of-Custody forms were completed for samples collected. The Chain-of-Custody
forms document possession of the samples from the time they are collected until they
have been analyzed and are stored. Each transferor retains a photocopy of the Chain-of-
Custody record.
4.4 Site-Specific Sample Collection
AEC 1 – The area between the existing property and the Industrial and Textile Supply
property located north of the subject property. See Figure 1.
The soil boring was advanced from the ground surface to 13.2 feet below ground surface
(bgs). A hand auger soil boring log with FID readings is located as Appendix A. The soil
sample, AEC1-SB04, was collected from 9.5 feet to 10 feet bgs. The soil sample
collected from this location was analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons as THP Gasoline
Range Organics (GRO) and Diesel Range Organics (DRO) utilizing Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) method 3545 and 8015. The sample did not contain detectable levels of
DRO and GRO. Weathered bedrock was encountered at approximately 10 feet bgs and
competent bedrock was encountered at the total depth of 13.2 feet bgs. The soil boring
was allowed to remain open for several hours and remained dry. Since groundwater was
not encountered in this soil boring, a groundwater sample was not collected.
AEC 2 – Former chemical room located on the mid-west side of the newer subject
property building. See Figure 2.
The soil boring was advanced from below the concrete surface to 9 feet below ground
surface (bgs). A hand auger soil boring log with FID readings is located as Appendix A.
The soil sample, AEC2-SB01, was collected from 6 feet to 6.6 feet bgs. The soil sample
from this location was analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOC) utilizing EPA
Method 8260, priority pollutant metals utilizing EPA Method 3050/6010, base neutrals
Report of Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment July 30, 2007

Charlotte, North Carolina Page 11 of 13
and acid extractables (SVOC) (without pesticides or PCBs) utilizing EPA Method
3545/8270 and petroleum hydrocarbons as THP GRO and DRO utilizing EPA method 3545
and 8015. The sample did not contain detectable levels of GRO. The sample contained
630 mg/kg of DRO which is above the NC Soil Standard of 40 parts per million (ppm) for
DRO petroleum hydrocarbons. Numerous metals were identified in the sample from the
lowest level of 0.047 mg/kg for Mercury to the highest level of 200 mg/kg for Copper.
These levels are below the NC Industrial/Commercial Soil Cleanup Levels (note some of
the metals are not regulated by this standard). The VOC sample contained 140 ug/kg
(0.14 mg/kg) of Acetone which is below the NC Residential Soil Cleanup Levels of 1,564
mg/kg for Acetone. The SVOC sample contained Fluoranthene and Pyrene at 700 ug/kg
(0.7 mg/kg) and 650 ug/kg (0.65 mg/kg), respectively. These levels are below the NC
Residential Soil Cleanup Levels of 620 mg/kg for Fluoranthene and 469 mg/kg of Pyrene.
AEC 3 – Former Underground Storage Tank location (immediately south of the most
northeast on-site building). See Figure 3.
The soil boring was advanced from below the concrete surface to 14 feet below ground
surface (bgs). The groundwater table was encountered at approximately 11 feet bgs. A
hand auger soil boring log with FID readings is located as Appendix A. The soil sample,
AEC3-SB03, was collected from 10.5 feet to 11 feet bgs. A groundwater sample was
also collected from this soil boring utilizing a new, dedicated bailer.
The soil sample collected from this location was analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons as
GRO and DRO utilizing EPA method 3545 and 8015. The sample contained 57 mg/kg of
GRO and 2,500 mg/kg of DRO which is above the NC Soil Standard of 10 ppm for GRO
and 40 ppm for DRO petroleum hydrocarbons. The groundwater sample collected from
this location was analyzed for SVOC (without pesticides or PCBs) utilizing EPA Method
625 and VOC (BTEX) utilizing EPA Method 602. The sample analyzed for SVOC contained
34 ug/l of Fluorene, 68 ug/l of Naphthalene and 45 ug/dl of Phenanthrene. Levels of
Naphthalene exceed the North Carolina Groundwater Quality Standards (NCGWQS) for
Naphthalene of 21 ug/l. Levels of Fluorene and Phenanthrene were below the NCGWQS of
280 ug/l and 210 ug/l, respectively. The groundwater sample did not contain detectable
levels of VOC.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The field screening and soil sample analysis indicate elevated levels of diesel range
petroleum hydrocarbons at the sample collected below the former chemical storage area.
The sample contained 630 mg/kg of DRO which is above the NC Soil Standard of 40 parts
per million ppm) for DRO petroleum hydrocarbons. This sample was also analyzed for
VOC’s - EPA method 8260, SVOC’s - EPA method 8270 and priority pollutant metals
utilizing EPA Method 3050/6010. The sample did not contain levels of metals above the
NC Industrial/Commercial Soil Cleanup Levels or levels of VOC’s or SVOC’c above the NC
Residential Soil Cleanup Levels.
The field screening and soil sample analysis indicate elevated levels of diesel and gasoline
range petroleum hydrocarbons at the sample collected from the former UST location. The
soil sample contained 57 mg/kg of GRO and 2,500 mg/kg of DRO which is above the NC
Soil Standard of 10 ppm for GRO and 40 ppm for DRO petroleum hydrocarbons. The
groundwater sample collected from this location was analyzed for SVOC (without
pesticides or PCBs) utilizing EPA Method 625 and VOC (BTEX) utilizing EPA Method 602.
The sample analyzed for SVOC contained 34 ug/l of Fluorene, 68 ug/l of Naphthalene and
45 ug/dl of Phenanthrene. Levels of Naphthalene exceed the North Carolina Groundwater
Quality Standards (NCGWQS) for Naphthalene of 21 ug/l. Levels of Fluorene and
Phenanthrene were below the NCGWQS of 280 ug/l and 210 ug/l, respectively. The
groundwater sample did not contain detectable levels of VOC. Since the soil sample
collected from the former UST area contains petroleum hydrocarbons above the regulated
level of 10 parts per million (ppm) for GRO and 40 ppm for DRO petroleum hydrocarbons,
the owner should inform the State of North Carolina Underground Storage Section that a
release has occurred from the former UST.
Based on the field observations, field screening results and laboratory analytical data
collected, we recommend installing additional soil borings to further investigate and
delineate the petroleum hydrocarbons identified in the soil and groundwater sample
collected at the former underground storage tank location and in the soil sample collected
below the former chemical storage room.
