A-4. Project – Task Organization

Mid-Atlantic Associates, Inc. will provide assessment services for the Former Kinston
Shirt Factory. Project organization for this project is essentially as described in the
Generic QAPP. No modifications to the Generic QAPP are anticipated.

A-5. Problem Definition/Background

The subject site consists of 14 parcels owned by the City of Kinston and one in the
process of being purchased located approximately at the intersection of East Caswell
Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, Boulevard in Kinston, Lenoir County, North
Carolina (Drawing 2). Combined the 15 parcels comprise approximately 7.6 acres. The
City entered 14 of the parcels (parcels A-N) into the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Environmental Management (DWM),
Brownfields Program (NCBP) and received a Letter of Eligibility dated March 1, 2016.

Based on the data collected previously at the site on parcel B only, contaminants of
concern (CoCs) are present. The CoCs in soil were present at low concentrations;
however, the concentrations are above established residential health-based action
levels and could constitute an exposure risk to construction workers and others if
disturbed. The tetrachloroethylene (PCE) concentration detected in groundwater was
greater than the North Carolina Groundwater Quality Standard (NCGQS) but below the
residential groundwater vapor intrusion screening level.

During several meetings, the NCBP requested that additional data be collected on parcels
A, C, G, J, L/M and N to complete the brownfields process. This additional data was
primarily to address potential vapor intrusion conditions from off site sources. The scope
of work for the assessment covered by this Site Specific QAPP includes only parcel N
as this is the only parcel eligible for use of EPA assessment grant funds. The City of
Kinston is interested in marketing the site for redevelopment as a neighborhood mixed
use retail/commercial development.

The objective of the assessment work described in this Site Specific QAPP is to collect
groundwater data that will allow the NCBP to continue with the brownfields process.
Additionally, this SSQAPP scope of work will evaluate if contaminant concentrations from
release(s) present on the subject site pose an impediment for future land use plans.

Project-specific Data Quality Objectives for the assessment at the Former Kinston Shirt
Factory parcel N are:

Data Quality
Objective Project Specific Action
State Problem
Potential environmental contamination may exist at the subject site parcel due
to historical uses of the site as a bus station which may have included bus
maintenance. Additionally, the subject site may be impacted by historical uses
of an adjacent site that was used as a dry cleaner. The site has been accepted
into the NC Brownfields Program and they have requested assessment
activities at the site to determine the potential for vapor intrusion to be an
impediment to future site redevelopment.
Identify the Decision
The principal objective of this investigation is to provide analytical data to
document if vapor intrusion could hinder potential future redevelopment
activities. The data and data interpretation will answer the question:

“Based on quantitative sample data of relevant environmental media, will
further assessment, remedial action, and/or engineering/institution controls be
required in order to characterize site conditions sufficiently and to make
appropriate decisions with respect to cleanup and planned redevelopment
activities?”
Identify Inputs to the
Decision
A groundwater sample will be collected to provide analytical data, as detailed
in Section B-1 and Table 1.

 A groundwater sample will be collected and analyzed for VOCS
according to SW-846 Method 8260. Each concentration detected will
be compared to the appropriate North Carolina Groundwater Quality
Standard (NCGQS).
 In the event VOCs are detected in the groundwater sample, potential
vapor intrusion concerns will be evaluated using IHSB guidance.
Define Boundaries of
the Study
All assessment activities will be conducted on the subject site. The schedule
objective is to have the site ready for future use within 1 year.

Financial budget for the Phase II assessment work is estimated at $5,200. The
budget was established by estimating the cost for installation of a groundwater
monitoring well for sampling and testing.
Develop a Decision
Rule
The significance and nature of impacts to areas of concern will be determined
by direct evaluation of the analytical data generated. If analytes are not
detected in the groundwater sample in excess of the NCGQS, then historical
uses of the site and adjoining properties should not impact future use of the
property. If analytes are not detected above the applicable IHSB Vapor
Intrusion Screening Levels, then a vapor intrusion condition does not exist and
should not impose additional development requirements (i.e. vapor mitigation
measures) on the redevelopment.

If analytes are found above our target criteria in groundwater, then the degree
to which these impacts affect future use of the site must be evaluated in
conjunction with the EPA and NCDEQ.
Optimize Design
The work plan is cost-effective and meets the needs of both the stakeholders
and the regulatory authority. The scope of work is sufficient to determine
potential levels of contamination present in groundwater. The sampling is
designed to assess areas of environmental impairment based on available
information. Each planned data point has justifiable reason for collection and
was developed in compliance with applicable guidelines.

A-6. Project/Task Description/Timeline

Following is a general outline of the tasks to be performed and the principle use of the
data obtained from the tasks.

 Review contractor cost proposals and select favored contractors;
 Install one temporary monitoring well and collect a groundwater sample; and
 Prepare a final report that will document field activities and provide analysis of
the data collected.

The specific work associated with each of these tasks is described in detail in Section
B.1 of this document. Specific off-site laboratory analyses will be in accordance with
Section B.1 of this document.

A projected timeline for these key tasks, including QAPP review and approval, field
activities and sampling, laboratory analytical results turnaround, and reporting efforts,
can be found in Table 1.

Groundwater and Vapor Intrusion Assessment

One temporary groundwater monitoring well will be installed and sampled on the
parcel. The well will be installed to address potential on-site sources of
contamination as well as potential contamination associated with an adjoining
property and its historical use. The sample will be analyzed for VOCs.
Groundwater test result data will be compared to NCGQS and if VOCs are
detected, then also compared to IHSB Residential and Commercial/Industrial
Vapor Intrusion screening levels to determine if vapor intrusion conditions are
present at the site that could hinder potential future redevelopment. Vapor
intrusion guidelines developed by the IHSB of the DWM, NCDEQ will be used to
develop vapor intrusion assessment requirements.
