RE: Adjacent Property Soil Assessment Report
Almont Shipping II Brownfields Project
19 & 41 Harnett Street
Wilmington, New Hanover County, NC
Brownfields Project No. 23080-19-065
Dear Mr. Curtin:
The Brownfields Program has received and reviewed the report entitled Adjacent Property Soil
Assessment Report (Geosyntec, November 2022). This report describes an event in February 2022 during
which an unauthorized export of soil from the above -referenced Brownfields Property occurred with
placement of such soil on an adjacent property owned by PPD, and describes subsequent response actions
and confirmatory sample data collected in September 2022.
We understand that the soil was removed from the PPD property and placed back onto the
Brownfields Property after a few days' time. Soil at the PPD property was subsequently sampled and
analyzed to satisfy the Brownfields Program's requirements to ensure that environmental risk at the PPD
property was not increased by the placement of this soil. Based on the data presented in the above -
referenced report, we concur that there does not appear to be remaining impacts on the PPD property from
this event. Therefore, we are not requiring further actions with respect to this event by the Prospective
Developer.
We look forward to completing the brownfields process with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Sharon Poissant Eckard, PG
Eastern District Supervisor
