Dear Mr. Beck:
48 Swannanoa River Road
Asheville, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 1411-08-106
S&ME, Inc. has completed the Brownfields Area Reconnaissance and Receptor Survey at
the above referenced property (see Figure 1). The reconnaissance and survey were
completed in accordance with S&ME Proposal No. ENV-153-08 dated June 30, 2008. The
site reconnaissance was performed by our Scott Spinner on September 18, 2008. S&ME
has completed the Brownfields Area Reconnaissance and Receptor Survey Form provided
by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). A
copy of the form is attached. The following sections provide additional information
corresponding to select sections of the form.
POTENTIAL RECEPTORS
Basement or Subsurface Foundation
At least four structures within 500 feet of the site's property boundaries contain basements
or subsurface structures. The depths of the basements range from 6 feet below land surface
(bls) to 8 feet bls. The depth of the subsurface structure in the northeast corner of the
fabrication building on the subject property was between 6 and 8 feet bls. This area
contained a water sump and a water circulation system associated with the boiler located in
this area. The locations of the properties with basement structures are indicated on Figure
3.
Schools and Daycare Centers
During site reconnaissance activities, no schools and daycare centers were identified
within 1,000 feet of the site's property boundaries.

Storm Sewer
S&ME Project No. 1411-08-106
October 3. 2008
Stormwater catch basins were observed throughout the subject property and on the
property to the east of the subject property. Outlet pipes were observed along the
southern boundary of these properties discharging to a drainage ditch on the north side of
Swannanoa River Road. The drainage ditch enters culverts beneath Swannanoa River
Road terminating in the Swannanoa River. The approximate location of the observed
stormwater catch basins and culverts under Swannanoa River Road are depicted on
Figure 2.
Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary sewer manholes were observed south and east of the subject property. Sanitary
sewer lines and associated structure locations were obtained from the City of Asheville
GIS website (www.mapasheville.com). The location of the sewer lines and structures
within 100 feet of the subject property are depicted on Figure 2.
Septic System Leach Field
Sanitary sewer manholes where observed throughout the area located within 500 feet of
the subject property. Based on this observation, none of the properties located within this
distance from the subject property are believed to utilize a septic system.
Water Line
Water meter covers were observed on the subject property, and south and east of the
subject property. Water main line locations were obtained from the City of Asheville
GIS website (www.mapasheville.com). The location of the water main lines within 100
feet of the subject property are depicted on Figure 2.
Natural Gas
S&ME contacted the North Carolina One-Call system prior to performing the site
reconnaissance of the property and surrounding area. According to the PSNC gas
response to the locate ticket; natural gas lines are not located within 100 feet of the
subject property.
Telephone/Cable Main
S&ME contacted the North Carolina One-Call system prior to performing the site
reconnaissance of the property and surrounding area. According to the cable and
telephone response to the locate ticket; buried cable and telephone lines are not located
within 100 feet of the subject property.
During the reconnaissance, S&ME observed that the main phone and cable lines within
100 feet of the site's property boundaries are overhead.

S&ME contacted the North Carolina One-Call system prior to performing the site
reconnaissance of the property and surrounding area. According to the power company
response to the locate ticket; buried electrical main lines are not located within 100 feet
of the subject property.
During the reconnaissance, S&ME observed that the main electrical lines within 100 feet
of the site's property boundaries are overhead.
LOCAL WATER SUPPLY
According on the City of Asheville's Water Resources Department website
(http://www.ashevillenc.gov/uploadedFiles/Departments/Water Resources/2007 Water
Quality Report.pdf), the source of the City of Asheville's water supply are the North
Fork and Bee Tree Reservoirs. They reservoirs are located in Black Mountain (14 miles
northeast of the subject site) and Swannanoa (11 miles northeast of the subject site),
respectively.
WATER SUPPLY WELLS
Public Water Supply Wells
Based on a review of the NCDENR Public Water Supply Section Source Water
Assessment Program (SW AP) info website
(http://swap.deh.enr.state.nc.us/Swap%5Fapp/viewer.htm) no public water supply wells
are located within one mile of the subject property.
Private Water Supply Wells
No private water supply wells were identified within one-half mile of the subject property
during the site reconnaissance. The site reconnaissance consisted of looking for well
houses on the subject property from the street adjacent to the properties.
Irrigation Supply Wells
One private irrigation supply well was identified within one-half mile of the subject
property during the site reconnaissance. The well is located at 7 Stoner Road,
approximately 1450 feet southeast of the subject property. According to Elmore Harper,
owner of the subject property, this well was left in place for irrigation purposes after the
residence was connected to city water. Mr. Harper was not aware of any other irrigation
supply wells or water supply wells in the area. The site reconnaissance consisted of
looking for well houses on the subject property from the street adjacent to the properties.

BROWNFIELDS AREA RECONNAISSANCE AND RECEPTOR SURVEY GUIDANCE FORM
Provide Information for the following potential receptors Current Usage Proposed Usage
This form was created to clarify and simplify preparing a receptor survey for a brownfield site. The form was designed
to minimize unnecessary delays in processing brownfield applications. This is a guidance document only and Potential
Developers may complete and submit their own receptor survey, if they desire.
The shaded fields on the form marked “Applicable to Site” will be determined by the DENR Brownfields
Project Manager on a site by site basis.
The distances to potential receptors from the Property boundary will be determined by the DENR
Brownfields Project Manager on a site by site basis.
Distances are measured from the site Property Boundary unless otherwise indicated by the DENR
Brownfield’s Project Manager.
