prospective developer (PD), seeking entry into the brownfields program for the following property:

Site Name: Georgia Pacific Bowdens Hardwood Sawmill Site
Address: 120 Warren Road (State Road 1301)
City/County/Zip Faison, Duplin County 28398 (several previous environmental rpts located the site in

BF Number: 18049-14-031
Others?
Comment: Site soil and groundwater impacted by releases from “wood treatment area(s)” from
Greenhorn & O’Mara, Inc., Phase II SSI, 1991
We are now evaluating NE Land Development LLC and the subject property(s) for eligibility for entry
into the Brownfields Program. 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 below has asserted that 1) it has not caused or contributed to the contamination at the
property, and 2) that it has 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 (via the contact information at the bottom of this notice) by Tuesday,
November 4, 2014.

Information regarding the applicant NE Land Development LLC, including the primary PD contact
person, is as follows:
PD:
Anand Gangadharan
NE Land Development LLC., 23955 Novi Road, Novi, MI 48375
[e-mail], 248-735-6684

It is important to note that 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. A BFA only provides liability protection to a non-causative
redeveloper of the property. In fact, the BFA will require the developer to provide access to the
property to any party doing work under another DENR program, and the Brownfields Program
has several sites where another program is enforcing against a responsible party while we are
working with the developer on brownfields actions. The developer will only be required to make
the property safe for its intended re-use. That will not include cleanup to unrestricted use
standards, unless that is consistent with the developer's proposed use of the property.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks very much for your help.
