Under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act, only entities that did not cause or contribute to the
contamination at the property are eligible to enter the program. The applicant PD listed below have
asserted that: 1) they have not caused or contributed to the contamination at the property, and 2) they
have substantially complied with laws, regulations, and rules for the protection of the environment. If
you have any information to suggest otherwise, please provide that information to me at
[e-mail] or 919-707-8294 by October 6, 2016.

A Brownfields Agreement (BFA) has no legal effect on your agency's authority to regulate or enforce
against any and all parties who caused or contributed to the contamination at the property. In fact,
the BFA will require the developer to provide access to the property to any party doing work under
any DEQ program.

A BFA provides liability protection only to a non-causative redeveloper of the property. The
developer will be required to make the property safe for its intended re-use. Cleanup to unrestricted
use standards will not be required unless deemed necessary based on the developer's proposed use of
the property. Furthermore, the BFA will not change the developer's responsibility to obtain any and
all DEQ permits (e.g. storm water, sediment control, NPDES, etc.) as required under applicable law.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,
Hayley
