EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Consulting Engineers
Geoscience Group, Inc. (Geoscience) has completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
(ESA) of a property located along the eastern. side of Zion Avenue in Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina. This Phase I ESA has been performed in general accordance with the scope
and limitations of ASTM Standard E 1527-13 and Geoscience'sproposal dated April 3, 2014.
Any exceptions to, or deletions from, the ASTM E 1527-13 standard of practice are described
in the INTR.ODUC110N section of the report. Based upon our findings, this assessment has
revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject
property with the exception of the following:
1. New Method Dry Cleaners presently operates a petroleum based dry cleaning
business on the site. In addition, research conducted as part of this Phase I ESA
revealed that the subject site has had dry cleaning businesses operating on the
property since approximately 1922. Geoscience conducted environmental sampling
in May, 2014 to detennine whether the property has been impacted by releases
associated with historical dry cleaning operations on the property. As presented in our
May 23, 2014 report entitled "Environmental Sampling -Zion Avenue Project", soil
and groundwater Ii.ave been impacted by petroleum and chlorinated compounds. Per
ASTM E 1527-13, the impacted soil and groundwater is considered to be a
recognized environmental condition in association with the subject property.
2. Chlorinated solvents have been detected in groundwater sampled collected at the
former Reeves Brothers, Inc. facility. This former facility, now occupied by the Town
Center project, is located approximately 180 feet west of the subject site. Groundwater
measurements collected during assessment of the release revealed that the
groundwater beneath the eastern portion of the site migrates generally southeastward
(towards the subject property). During the most recent (December 2008) sampling
event reviewed by Geoscience, the PCE concentration in a well (MW-4A) located
upgradient approximately 335 feet northwest of the subject site was 5,300 µg/L.

This concentration exceeds the PCE concentrations measured in the groundwater at
the subject property by two (2) orders of magnitude. Given the relatively high PCE
concentrations at the Town Center project site, and the fact that the groundwater
flow direction has been measured as toward the subject property, Geoscience
concludes that the chlorinated solvent release from the former Reeves Brothers
facility is likely contributing to impairment of the groundwater beneath the subject
property. Therefore, the release at the Town Center project site is considered to be a
recognized environmental condition in association with the subject property.
INTRODUCTION
Purpose: This Phase I ESA was performed in general accordance with ASTM Standard E
1527-13 to identify the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances [as defined by
CERCLA 42 USC §9601(14)] or petroleum products on the property under conditions that
indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of these products to
the environment. This includes hazardous substances or petroleum substances under
conditions in compliance with laws. It should be noted that the ASTM E 1527-13 standard of
practice does not include an assessment of all possible conditions or circumstances that may
exist at the subject site. Several non-scope considerations that were not a part of these
assessment activities included reviews for asbestos, lead based paint, wetlands and radon,
among other items defined as non-scope considerations under ASTM Standard E 15 2 7-13.
Based on the information provided, the Phase I ESA was performed in part, to satisfy a
requirement to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability. In
accordance with the ASTM E 1527-13 standard of practice, this Phase I ESA included a
reconnaissance of the subject site and adjoining properties, interviews with persons
knowledgeable about the site,. and a review of historical and regulatory databases. The site
reconnaissance and interviews were performed as part of the assessment to obtain
information indicating the likelihood of the presence of recognized environmental
conditions. Historical and regulatory sources were reviewed to help identify recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the property and to develop a history with
respect to site usage.
Practically reviewable, publicly available information pertaining to the property was also
used to prepare the Phase I ESA. This report interprets and summarizes the information
obtained from interviews, document reviews, and site reconnaissance. Pursuant to
Geoscience's authorized scope of services, a Chain of Title search (including all deeds,
easements, leases, property restrictions and covenants) was not conducted by Geoscience as
part of this assessment. As such, it remains the responsibility of the User of this document
to investigate the existence of environmental liens in reasonably ascertainable recorded land
title records.

Site Reconnaissance: The site reconnaissance was performed on various dates by Mr.
Thomas C. Hassett, P.E. The reconnaissance consisted of observing the periphery of the
property and viewing the site from accessible adjacent public thoroughfares. Interior portions
of the property were systematically traversed to provide an overlapping field of view. Visual
reconnaissance of adjoining properties was limited to areas and facilities that were readily
observable from the subject property or from public access areas. Photographs were taken,
where possible, to document the features observed and environmental conditions of concern.
Due to the general limitations imposed by the method of observation, the potential exists that
undisclosed environmental conditions may be present beneath the areas observed. A
photographic log (Photographs 1 through 23) of the subject site has been provided in Appendix
II of this report. The approximate locations and directions of the photographs are shown on
the Site Layout and Sample Location Diagram, Figure Nos. CH 14.045-3 and -4, in Appendix I.
Interviews: The persons noted in the following table were contacted to obtain information for
this assessment. Documentation of our contact with the listed parties is included in Appendix
V of this report. Pertinent information reported by the listed parties is discussed in the
appropriate sections of the report.

Information Provided by User: Geoscience requested that Renaissance Square, LLC (the
Client and User of this document) communicate any specialized knowledge or experience that
is material to recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property and to
identify key personnel for interview purposes. As part of that request, a User Questionnaire
was submitted to the Client for completion. A review of the questionnaire, as completed by
Mr. Pahl Davis revealed that the property is currently and was formerly the site of dry cleaning
operations. Potential concerns related to the dry cleaning facilities are discussed later in this
report. A copy of the User Questionnaire is included in Appendix V.
Mr. Davis also provided Geoscience with a previous Phase I ESA report entitled ''New
Method Cleaners" that was performed by Cooper Environmental in September, 1997. Select
portions of that report are included in Appendix V.
SITE DESCRIPTION AND PHYSICAL SETTING
Location And Legal Description: As shown on the enclosed Vicinity Map, Figure No.
CH 14.045-1, the subject site is located along the eastern side of Zion A venue immediately
north of Antiquity Parkway in Cornelius, North Carolina. The site is comprised of

Brownfields Project No.18023-14-060
August 4, 2014
Page4of17
Mecklenburg County Parcel ID Nos. 00751105, 00751106, and 00751107. The approximate
legal boundaries of the site are shown on the Tax Line Map included in Appendix I as Figure
No. CH 14.045-2.
Site And Vicinity Characteristics: As depicted on the Site Layout, Figure No. CH 14.045-3,
the subject property is comprised of a 1.755± acre tract. At the time of our site visit, a
single story building occupied tax parcel 00751105 with a street address of 20042 Zion
A venue. The two remaining parcels are vacant. The tenants of the existing building are
New Method Cleaners and Crossfit Cornelius. Photographs 1 through 4 in Appendix II
show the exterior of the building from various vantage points. General views of the interior
of the New Method Cleaners space are shown in Photographs 5 through 9.
As shown Photographs 2 through 4 and I 0 through 13, the portions of the property that are
not occupied by the existing building generally consist of parking lots, grassed lawns, and
wooded areas. In addition, an unnamed tributary of South Prong, West Branch Rocky River
and a storm sewer right of way extend across the eastern portion of the site.
Zion A venue extends along the western property boundary with an active railroad track
paralleling the western side of Zion A venue. An asphalt paved parking lot is present
immediately west of the railroad tracks beyond which lies Highway 115 (Main Street). The
land across Main Street is occupied by Cornelius Town Hall. Antiquity Parkway extends
along the western half of the southern property boundary while the eastern half of the
southern property boundary is bordered by undeveloped land. A one and two story building,
which houses the Bindu Yoga Studio, Wilber Associates Architects, and Cornelius Church,
occupies the property immediately north of the site. A single family residence is also
present on the eastern portion of this parcel. The properties directly adjoining the subject
site to the east are undeveloped woodlands.
Topography: As part of this assessment, the 2007 County Topographic Map and the 1970
Cornelius, North Carolina United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle
maps (Figure Nos. CH 14.045-5 and -6) were reviewed to obtain information relative to the
topography of the subject site and surrounding areas. According to the contour lines of the
maps, the subject property is located between approximately 822 and 764 feet above mean
sea level (MSL). The approximate low elevation of764 feet MSL is located nearthe eastern
most portion of the property and the approximate high elevation of 822 feet MSL is located
on the western most portion of the site, adjacent to Zion A venue. As depicted on the
topographic maps, the ground surface across the project site generally slopes down towards
the east.
Surficial And Bedrock Geology: The 1985 Geologic Map of North Carolina was reviewed as
a part of this assessment to provide discretionary and non-standard physical setting source
information relative to the geology in the vicinity of the subject property. A review of this map
indicates that the subject site is located within the Charlotte Belt of the Piedmont
Physiographic Province. This Province is generally characterized by igneous intrusive and

metamorphic bedrock that is Permian to Ordovician in age. The intrusive rock is typically
overlain with a layer of soil and weathered rock, ranging in thickness from 0 to 150 feet.
Bedrock within the Charlotte Belt consists primarily of the diorite-granite complex, with the
granite appearing to be the predominant component of the complex. According to the
Geologic Map, the subject site is underlain with metamorphosed quartz diorite.
Surface Water And Groundwater Flow: The predominant source of groundwater in the area
is the unconfined aquifer system. Water availability in the aquifer varies with location, rock
type, topographic setting, and geologic structure. Recharge of the aquifer system is through
the infiltration of rainwater.
Surface water and groundwater flow rates and directions were not determined as part of this
assessment. However, based upon review of the USGS topographic map, the inferred
direction of groundwater flow beneath the subject property is generally towards the east.
Based upon visual observations, Geoscience expects that surface water at the site also flows
towards the east.
Soil Conservation Service Map Review: The United States Department of Agriculture Soil
Conservation Service (SCS) conducted a soil survey of Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina in cooperation with the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. The soil
survey information reviewed for this report was issued by the SCS in December 2013 and
describes the soils at the subject site as Cec.il-Urban land complex with 2 to 8 percent slopes
(CuB), moderately eroded Cecil sandy clay loam with 2 to 8 percent slopes (CeB2),
moderately eroded Cecil sandy clay loam with 8 to 15 percent slopes (CeD2), Helena sandy
loam with 2 to 8 percent slopes (HeB), and Pacolet sandy loam with 15 to 25 percent slopes
(PaE).
Utilities: Utility systems identified at the subject site, are as follows:
• The heating ventilating and air conditioning (HV AC) systems of the building are powered
by electricity and natural gas. Electricity is reportedly provided by Electricities and
natural gas is provided by Public Service Company of North Carolina.
• Sewage disposal at the subject property is provided by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities
Department (CMUD).
• Potable water at the property is obtained through CMUD.
Environmental Liens: As stated previously, a title search was not conducted by Geoscience
as part of this assessment. As such, it remains the responsibility of the User of this
document to investigate the existence of environmental liens in reasonably ascertainable
recorded land title records

PROPERTY USAGE
Current Uses Of The Property: As previously described, the site is currently occupied by a
single story building that contains two businesses: New Method Cleaners and Crossfit
Cornelius. New Method Cleaners, a petroleum based dry cleaning and laundry business,
had previously occupied the entire building but presently only occupies the approximate
northern half of the building. The approximate southern half of the existing building has
been recently renovated and upfitted with work-out equipment for the Crossfit Cornelius
business.

Note: Copies of representative historical source information are prm·ided in the applicable Appendices.
Past Uses Of The Property: To the extent possible, past uses of the subject property were
identified through historical records review, reconnaissance observation, interviews, and/or
through client-provided information. Historical information sources researched during this
assessment date back to 1938. A summary of the standard historical sources and data
reviewed by Geoscience to identify past uses of the property are listed in the table above.
Mecklenburg County tax listings indicate that the original portion of the existing building is
approximately 4,080 square feet and was constructed in 1917. A 1,728 square foot addition
was constructed in 1970. Our review of aerial photographs reveals that the original building is
present in the first available (1938) photograph and the expanded building appears in aerial
photographs after 1968.
City directory listings indicate that the site has been occupied by New Method Cleaners since
at least 1980. Earlier directories do not list Zion Avenue in the source. According to the
current owner, Mr. Michael Rogers, a dry cleaning business has operated on the site since
approximately 1922, prior to which the site had operated as a Ford dealership and a livery
stable. Although dry cleaning businesses are of potential concern due to the storage and use of

chlorinated solvents associated with the dry cleaning process, Mr. Rogers indicated that New
Method Cleaners uses petroleum solvents, not chlorinated solvents. He further indicated that,
the previous owner/operator of the dry cleaners had not used chlorinated solvents either.
However, as indicated by Mr. Rogers, the previous owner of the dry cleaning operation
reportedly purchased the property in the early 1960s. No information is available regarding
dry cleaning operations on the site prior to the early 1960s. (an approximate 38 year
infonnation gap).
Further review of the 1951 through 1993 aerial photographs reveals that a former structure
occupied the southwestern portion of the site during that time frame. The former structure was
approximately 40 feet long and 35 feet wide. Cooper Environmental described the former
structure as "barn like" in their September, 1997 Phase I ESA of the subject site. The former
small building is not visible on aerial photographs after 1993.
Current And Past Uses Of Adjoining Properties: The current and past uses of adjoining
properties were identified through reconnaissance observation and records review.
North: An existing two story brick building occupies the tax parcel immediately to the north.
This building is conjoined on the north side by a single story building with a separate tax
parcel number. Mecklenburg County tax listings indicate that both the two story portion and
the single story portion were constructed in 1935. Our review of the earliest available aerial
photographs ( 1938) confirms the presence of these buildings. In addition, a single family
residence is located behind the commercial building. Tax listings do not indicate a
construction date for this residence, however, it is first clearly visible on the 2003 aerial
photograph. (Construction of the house may pre-date 2003, but visibility of that location is
obstructed by trees in earlier photographs.)
At the time of our site visit Bindu Yoga Studio, Wilber Associates Architects, and Cornelius
Church occupied the adjoining commercial buildings. Review of tax city directory listings
reveals that previous tenants of the adjoining property have included Mayhews Antiques,
Granite Sky Design, and Iredell Winding Company.
East: As previously described, the property east of the subject site is undeveloped
woodlands. Our review of aerial photographs reveals that this area has remained undeveloped
since at least 1938. However, the 2004 aerial photograph shows the ground surface east and
south of the site cleared of trees and groundcover. According to information provided by Mr.
Rogers, this clearing was associated with the disposal of roadway debris by the city.
The wooded property beyond the eastern site boundary slopes down to a drainage feature
beyond which is a residential subdivision. Grading for this subdivision appears, from
review of the aerial photographs, to have begun in 2005. Prior to that, the land appears to
transition from farmland in the earliest photographs to wooded land and in the later aerials.

South: Antiquity Parkway extends along the western half of the southern property boundary
while the eastern half of the southern property boundary is bordered by undeveloped land.
Construction of Antiquity Parkway appears to have occurred sometime in 2010. Prior to
construction of this roadway this area appears to be farmland or woodlands dating back to
1938.
West: Zion Avenue extends along the western property boundary. Construction of Zion
A venue predates the 1938 aerial photograph. An active railroad track parallels the western
side of Zion Avenue with an asphalt paved parking lot present immediately west of the
rai I road tracks. Highway 115 (Main Street) is present immediately west of the paved
parking lot and the land across Main Street is currently occupied by Cornelius Town Hall.
Based on review of the aerial photographs, Cornelius Town Hall was constructed between
1998 and 2003. The 1998 aerial photograph shows the town hall site as cleared vacant land.
The 1993 to 1951 photographs depict the site with what appears to be one large industrial
building and two smaller adjacent buildings. It is our understanding that the industrial site
last operated as Reeves Brothers, Inc. Reeves Brothers reportedly cut and laminated
polyurethane foam for automobile seats and furniture. Prior to 1951 several smaller
buildings had occupied this area.
REGULATORY RECORDS REVIEW
Information for the standard Federal, State, and Tribal environmental record sources specified
in ASTM Standard E 1527-13 § 8.2.1 was obtained through Environmental Data Resources,
Inc. (EDR). Regulatory database information was reviewed to help identify evidence of
recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The number of listed
sites identified within the approximate minimum search distance (AMSD) specified in the
Federal, State and Tribal standard environmental records database are summarized in the table
below. Detailed information for sites identified within the AMSD is provided following the
table along with our professional judgment about the significance, if any, of the listing. Copies
of the EDR research data and a description of the databases are included in Appendix IV of
this report.

Subject Property Database Findings: Two (2) listings for the subject property were discovered
during the regulatory records review under Historical Cleaners. Although dry cleaning
businesses are of potential concern due to the storage and use of chlorinated solvents
associated with the dry cleaning process, Mr. Rogers indicated that New Method Cleaners
operation uses petroleum solvents not chlorinated solvents. He further indicated that, the
previous owner/operator of the dry cleaners had not used chlorinated solvents either.
However, as indicated previously in this report, there is an approximately 38 year gap of
information, during which a dry cleaner operated on the subject property using an
undetermined process.
In an effort to determine if the site has been impacted by the historical dry cleaning operations,
Geoscience oversaw the installation of four geoprobe borings (GP-1 through GP-4). The
borings were advanced at the locations shown on the Sample Location Diagram, included in
Appendix I as Figure No. CHl4.045-4. Borings GP-1 and GP-2 were located to explore the
Renaissance Square, LLC

possibility of releases from an abandoned septic tank and several reported waste water tanks
located behind the building. Boring GP-3 was advanced adjacent to the discharge point of a
floor drain located near the existing dry cleaning machine. Boring GP-4 was located
topographically down gradient from borings GP-1 through GP-3. A report of the
environmental sampling was issued on May 23, 2014, select portions of which are included in
Appendix V of this report.
In summary, petroleum VOCs were detected in soils samples GP-2-2 and GP-2-15 at
concentrations exceeding applicable IHS Branch PSRGs. Elevated TPH ORO and ORO
concentrations were also encountered in those samples as well as samples GP-4-5 and GP-4-
15. Based on these results, it is apparent that a release (or releases) of petroleum products has
impacted the soils at the subject site. Although the groundwater beneath the site has also been
impacted by petroleum compounds, the petroleum constituents detected in the groundwater
did not exceed North Carolina 2L Standards. Given the site's 50 plus year history of using
petroleum solvents as a dry cleaning fluid, the likely source of the detected petroleum
compounds is the on-site dry cleaning operation.
In addition, PCE was detected in soil samples GP-1-2, GP-1-10, GP-3-2, and GP-4-15 at
concentrations exceeding PSRGs established by the NCDENR IHS Branch for protection of
groundwater. PCE was also detected in all three (3) groundwater samples at concentrations
exceeding its 2L Standard. Trichloroethylene; 1, I, 1 thrichloroethane; 1, 1,2-trichloroethane;
I, 1-dichloroethane; 1,2-dichloroethane; and I, 1-dichloroethylene also exceeded their
respective 2L Standard in groundwater sample GP-2.
Per ASTM E 1527-13, the impacted soil and groundwater is considered to be a recognized
environmental condition in association with the subject property.
Adjoining Property Database Findings: No Listings fur adjoining properties were
discovered during the regulatory records review.
Non-Adjoining Property Database Findings: EDR reported eleven (11) listings for sites
within the AMSD as a result of the database search. Details pertaining to these listings are
discussed below:
Town Center Project: Listings for the Town Center Project, located approximately 180
feet west of the subject site at 2101 North Main Street were discovered on the SHWS
and IMO databases. These listings pertain to a chlorinated solvent release associated
with the former Reeves Brothers, Inc. facility that formerly occupied the Town Center
Project site. Geoscience has reviewed the following documents associated with the
assessment of conditions at the nearby site:
"Report of Phase II Contamination Assessment: Former Reeves Brothers -
Curon Site" prepared by Law Environmental, Inc. dated September 18,
1990;
Renaissance Square, LLC
Geoscience Project No. CH14.0045.EV
Brownfields Project No.18023-14-060

Page 12of17
"Report of Additional Assessment and Receptor Survey: Cornelius Town
Center Project" prepared by Law Engineering and Environmental Services,
Inc. dated November 25, 1998; and
"Report of Groundwater Sampling And Laboratory Analysis: Cornelius
Town Center" prepared by Froehling & Robertson, Inc. dated December 28,
2008:
According to the information presented in these reports, chlorinated solvents were
discovered in groundwater samples collected on the former Reeves Brothers, Inc.
facility site in early 1990 during a preliminary assessment of the site by Law
Environmental, Inc. (Law). The source of the chlorinated solvent release was not
identified but is assumed to be the result of historic operations at the facility.
Subsequent assessment demonstrated that the groundwater beneath the facility was
impacted by PCE and its degradation products at concentrations exceeding North
Carolina Groundwater (2L) Standards. Furthermore, measurements collected by Law
revealed that a local groundwater divide extends across the former Reeves Brothers
facility site. Although groundwater beneath the western portions of the facility migrates
towards the northwest, the groundwater beneath the eastern portion of the site migrates
generally southeastward (towards the subject property).
Monitoring well MW-4A (approximately 335 feet northwest of the subject site) is the
closest monitoring well that is directly up-gradient from the subject property. During
the most recent (December 2008) sampling event reviewed by Geoscience, the PCE
concentration in this well was 5,300 µg/L. This concentration exceeds the PCE
concentrations measured in the groundwater at the subject property by two (2) orders of
magnitude. Given the relatively high PCE concentrations at the Town Center Project
site, and the fact that the groundwater flow direction has been measured as toward the
subject property, Geoscience concludes that the chlorinated solvent release from the
former Reeves Brothers facility is likely contributing to impairment of the groundwater
beneath the subject property. Therefore, the release at the Town Center Project site is
considered to be a recognized environmental condition in association with the subject
property.
Luxury Cleaners: Listings for Luxury Cleaners were discovered on the EDR Historical
Cleaners database at the street address 20129 North Main Street. This cleaners is
located approximately 690 feet northwest of the subject property, on the northwestern
portion of the "Town Center Project" site (adjacent to the Food Lion). As previously
discussed, the groundwater at that location has been measured as flowing towards the
northwest, away from the subject property. Therefore, should releases occur at the
Luxury Cleaners facility, the resulting contamination would be expected to migrate

away from the subject site. Given the distance of the facility from the subject property
and the measured groundwater flow direction, it is unlikely that activity at Luxury
Cleaners would impact the subject site. Therefore, Luxury Cleaners is not considered to
be a recognized environmental condition in association with the subject property.
Remaining Sites: Based upon their EDR-reported locations and review of the USGS
topographic map, each of the remaining non-adjoining sites appear to be situated within
areas that are considered to be hydraulically down gradient or cross gradient from the
subject property, with inferred directions of groundwater flowing away from the subject
property. Given their inferred directions of groundwater flow and/or regulatory status,
the incidents associated with the remaining non-adjoining properties are not expected to
adversely impact the subject site. As such, we do not consider these sites to be
recognized environmental conditions in association with the subject property.
Orphan Sites: During compilation of the EDR database report, some potential risk properties
may be identified which cannot be accurately mapped due to poor or inadequate address
information. These properties are usually listed in the EDR report as unmappable. According
to EDR, twelve (12) listings for unmappable (orphan) sites were identified in the database
findings. The orphan listing included two (2) entries for the Cornelius Town Hall site at 2 I 410
Catawba Avenue. Based upon review of the USGS topographic map, this site is considered to
be hydraulically cross gradient from the subject property, with an inferred direction of
groundwater flow towards the southwest, away from the subject property. Given the inferred
directions of groundwater flow, the incidents associated with Cornelius Town Hall are not
expected to adversely impact the subject site. As such, we do not consider this site to be
recognized environmental conditions in association with the subject property. At the time of
our site visit, a vehicular reconnaissance of the area within approximately Yi mile of the
subject property was conducted in an effort to locate orphan sites. No other orphan sites were
identified during the vehicular reconnaissance.
Additional Environmental Record Sources: Pursuant to ASTM Standard E 1527-13 § 8.2.3,
additional environmental record sources were obtained to enhance and/or supplement the
standard environmental record sources. As part of this Phase I ESA, records available on the
NCDENR website were reviewed. In addition, the Cornelius -Lemley Fire Department was
contacted to provide supplemental infon11ation and determine if any environmental conditions
are known to exist or have formerly existed at the subject site and/or off-site adjoining
properties. The following issues were addressed with respect to the subject site and adjoining
properties:
• Groundwater Quality;
•Surface Water Quality;
• Solid Waste;
• Surface Spills;
•Hazardous Waste Storage and Disposal; and
•Underground Storage Tanks (USTs).

Based on the review by Geoscience, NCDENR maintains no records pertaining to the
subject site or adjoining properties.
Personnel at the Cornelius -Lemley Fire Department indicate that the department has not
responded to any hazardous material or petroleum spill incidents in close proximity to the
subject site.
SITE RECONNAISSANCE FINDINGS
Subject Property Reconnaissance Findings: As mentioned previously, a reconnaissance was
performed at the subject site to obtain information indicating the likelihood of recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the property. A summary of uses and conditions
specifically addressed and consistent with ASTM Standard E 1527-13 is provided below:
• Hazardous Substances In Connection With Identified Uses: As shown in Photograph
14, three (3) 55 gallon steel drums of "Quick Dry" petroleum solvent were observed in
the New Method Cleaners space. One of these drums was full, one was empty, and the
remaining drum contained a small volume of solvent. A small bucket of waste oil and
an empty 7.5 gallon steel drum, shown in Photographs 15 and 16, were also observed
in the New Method Cleaners space. In addition two (2) empty solvent drums, shown
in Photographs 17 and 18, were observed outside, behind the building. Potential
concerns related to the use of solvents and petroleum products at the site were
discussed previously in the Subject Property Database Findings section of this
report.
• Storage Tanks: No storage tanks were observed on the site during our reconnaissance.
• Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): During the reconnaissance, six (6) pole mounted
transformers was observed on the subject property. The approximate locations of
the observed transformers are indicated on Figure CH14.045-3 in Appendix I. As
observed, the transformers appeared to be in good condition with no evidence of a
leak or discharge. Based on our observations, Geoscience does not consider the pole
mounted transformers to be a recognized environmental condition in association with
the subject site.
• Odors: No strong, pungent or obnoxious odors were noted on the property.
• Staining: Staining indicative of fluid drips or leaks was observed on the concrete
floor behind the solvent reclaimer in the New Method Cleaners space. The observed
stain is shown in Photograph 19. Geoscience was unable to determine the volume of
fluid released. Soil and groundwater sampling conducted by Geoscience close to
this location (GP-3) was discussed previously in the Subject Property Database
Findings section of this report.

• Floor Drains: As shown in Photograph 20, a floor drain is located in the New Method
Cleaners space immediately outside the dry-cleaning machine containment dike. The
observed floor drain discharges to the ground surface through the dark PVC pipe
shown in Photograph 21. Soil and groundwater sampling conducted by Geoscience
close to this location (GP-3) was discussed previously in the Subject Property
Database Findings section of this report.
• Pits, Ponds, or Lagoons: No pits, ponds, or lagoons were noted on the property.
• Wells: As shown on Figure No. CHl4.045-3, a water supply well is located on the
northern portion of the site, behind the existing building. According to Mr. Mike
Rogers, the owner of the property, the well was installed by the previous property
owner in order to reduce the amount of water purchased by the cleaners from the
public utility. Mr. Rogers stated that the well did not provide sufficient water to
supply the laundry machines. As a result, the well was not used for its intended
purpose. The well had not been used since Mr. Rogers purchased the site.
• Septic Systems: An abandoned septic tank and three (3) waste water pre-treatment
tanks are reportedly located beneath the concrete apron behind the building. The
reported tank locations are indicated on Figure CH14.045-4. It is our understanding
that these tanks are no longer used. However, waste water from the washing
machines is supposed to be directed into the northernmost wastewater tank, where a
pump directs it to the sanitary sewer. Apparently, at the time of our site visit, the
piping from the washing machines was damaged. As a result, the greywater from
the machines was being discharged directly onto the ground surface. This is shown
in Photographs 22 and 23 in Appendix II.
Soil and groundwater sampling was recently conducted by Geoscience close to the
septic tank and waste water tank locations (GP-I and GP-2). Soil and ground\\-ater
samples were also collected at a location (GP-4) believed to be close to the leach
field associated with the septic tank. The results of this sampling event were
discussed previously in the Subject Property Database Findings section of this
report.
• Indications Of Solid Waste Dispo5al: Solid wastes generated by the commercial
tenants on the site are stored in trash bins located along the southern building wall.
These containers are emptied on a regular basis by the Town of Cornelius. No
evidence of improper hazardous material disposal, staining, leaks, or unusual odors
were observed in the vicinity of the trash bins at the time of our visit. Given the lack
of evidence of improper haz.ardous material disposal and/or leaks and spills, we do not
consider solid waste disposal practices on the property to be a recognized
environmental condition in association with the subject site.

Adjoining Properties Reconnaissance Findings: A summary of uses and conditions
specifically addressed at adjoining properties that indicate the likelihood of recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the subject site is provided below:
• Hazardous Substances In Connection With Identified Uses: No hazardous substances
were observed on adjoining properties during the site reconnaissance.
• Storage Tanks: No storage tanks were observed on properties adjoining the subject
site.
• Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): No electrical transformers were observed in close
proximity to the subject site during the reconnaissance.
• Indications Of Solid Waste Disposal: During our reconnaissance, no evidence of
improper hazardous material disposal, staining, leaks, or unusual odors were observed
at the adjoining properties.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Geoscience Group, Inc. (Geoscience) has completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
(ESA) of a property located along the eastern side of Zion Avenue in Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina. This Phase I ESA has been performed in general accordance with the scope
and limitations of ASTM Standard E 1527-13 and Geoscience's proposal dated April 3, 2014.
Any exceptions to, or deletions from, the ASTM E 1527-13 standard of practice are described
in the INTRODUCTION section of the report. Based upon our findings, this assessment has
revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject
property with the exception of the following:
I. New Method Dry Cleaners presently operates a petroleum based dry cleaning
business on the site. In addition, research conducted as part of this Phase I ESA
revealed that the subject site has had dry cleaning businesses operating on the
property since approximately 1922. Geoscience conducted environmental sampling
in May, 2014 to determine whether the property has been impacted by releases
associated with historical dry cleaning operations on the property. As presented in our
May 23, 2014 report entitled "Environmental Sampling -Zion Avenue Project", soil
and groundwater have been impacted by petroleum and chlorinated compounds. Per
ASTM E 1527-13, the impacted soil and groundwater is considered to be a
recognized environmental condition in association with the subject property.
2. Chlorinated solvents have been detected in groundwater sampled collected at the
former Reeves Brothers, Inc. facility. This former facility, now occupied by the Town
Center project, is located approximately 180 feet west cf the subject site. Groundwater
measurements collected during assessment of the release revealed that the
groundwater beneath the eastern portion of the site migrates generally southeastward

CERCLIS-NFRAP: CERCLIS No Further Remedial Action Planned
Archived sites are sites that have been removed and archived from the inventory of CERCLIS sites. Archived status
indicates that, to the best of EPA's knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined
no further steps will be taken to list this site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates
this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing al a later time.
This decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that,
based upon available information, the location is not judged to be a potential NPL site.

EDR US Hist Cleaners: EDR Exclusive Historic Dry Cleaners
EDR has searched selected national collections of business directories and has collected listings of potential
dry cleaner sites that were available to EDR researchers. EDR's review was limited to those categories of sources
that might, in EDR's opinion, include dry cleaning establishments. The categories reviewed included, but were
not limited to dry cleaners, cleaners, laundry, laundromat, cleaningnaundry, wash & dry etc. This database falls
within a category of information EDR classifies as "High Risk Historical Records", or HRHR. EDR's HRHR effort
presents unique and sometimes proprietary data about past sites and operations that typically create environmental
concerns, but may not show up in current government records searches.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mr. Mike Rogers of New Method Cleaners requested that Cooper
Environmental, Inc. (CEI) conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on
New Method Cleaners located at 20036 Zion Avenue, Cornelius, North Carolina.
Christopher R. Burnett, C.E.A., performed the inquiries, investigation, research
associated with the Phase I ESA. Jeffrey E. Cohen provided quality control on this
project.
The subject property is comprised of an approximately 1.5 -acre tract, one
commercial facility and gravel parking areas. The office structure is approximately
7 ,000-square feet and is currently operating as a dry cleaning and laundry facility.
CEI reviewed aerial photographs, tax information, and conducted on-site
interviews in exam~g the present and past uses of the subject property. Based on
this information, CEI believes the subject property has been operating as a dry
cleaning and laundry facility since 1930 . and has been developed since 1912. Prior to
1912, CEI was unable to determine the status of the subject property.
CEI did not observe evidence of USTs on the subject property. However, two
water USTs, used in the laundry process, were formerly located at the eastern portion
of the dry cleaning and laundry facility. Mr. Rogers stated that the water USTs were
removed within the past few years.
CEI observed one 250-gallon Agf containing Quick Dry, a solvent used for
cleaning purposes. CEI did not observe leaking or staining associated with the AST.
In addition, approximately 14 years ago one heating oil AST was removed. The
subject property currently utilizes natural gas.
CEI observed three pole-mounted transformers located on the southern portion
of the subject property. The pole-mounted transformers appeared to be in good
1-1
condition with no observable leakage or staining on the underlying ground surface.
CEI did not observe pad-mounted transformers located on the subject property.
CEI observed various cleaning supplies located inside the dry cleaning and
laundry facility. CEI observed water treatment chemicals and lubricant oils that are
used in connection with the dry cleaning equipment. Additional information of these
substances is located in Section 5.3 of this report. Additionally Mr. Rogers stated that
"at no time during his ownership (approximately 14 years) or during the former
owner/ operations was perchloroethelyene used in the on-site dry cleaning and
laundry operation." Mr. Rogers stated that a petroleum solvent, Quick Dry, has been
used in the current and historical dry cleaning process.
CEI noted the presence of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) located
inside the commercial structure. The following items are considered to be suspect
ACM: 1 'xl' floor tile and mastic; linoleum and associated adhesive; wallboard and
joint compound; and roofing materials. The condition of the materials appeared in
good to fair condition throughout the building.
CEI reviewed United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and
North Carolina environmental databases to identify environmental concerns at the site
or surrounding properties within ASTM-specified radii. One RCRA site and one
leaking underground storage tank site were identified on the VISTA Information
Solutions, Inc. report dated August 13, 1997. One Incident sites was identified on the
Mooresville Regional Office, NCDEHNR database. The incident site was identified as
low priority, therefore regulatory requirements are temporarily suspended.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to view the property for obsezvable
environmental liabilities and, based on such observations, to present existing,
potential, or suspected condition(s) which may pose an environmental liability to, or
restrict the use of, the subject property. A Phase I ESA is designed to examine the
potential for environmental damage or liability and to obsexve apparent problems. A
Phase I ESA is neither a regulatory compliance audit nor a scientific analysis of the
property's surface or subsurface. Samples of surface waters, soil, or ground water
were not collected.
CEI's objectives were to complete a walk through of the subject property,
research previous activities on the property, and identify surrounding properties with
environmental concerns that could potentially impact the subject property. The Phase
I ESA was performed in general accordance with the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for the Phase I ESA Process (E1527-94). The
report is presented following the general outline recommended in the standard.

3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
3.1 Location and Legal Description
The site location map {Figure 1} is from the 1970 United States Geologic Survey
(USGS) Cornelius, North Carolina 7. 5-minute topographic map of the area. The
approximate center of the site is located by intersecting north latitude 35° 28' 95" and
west longitude so= 51' 43".
The subject property is comprised of approximately 1.5-acres containing one
approximately 7 ,000-square foot commercial building currently operating as the New
Method Cleaners {Photo #1). The subject property is currently zoned commercial (Bl).
A copy of the tax map obtained from the Tax Assessor1s Office is located in Figure 2.
3.2 Site and Vicinity Characteristics
The site can b e accessed from the west on Zion Avenue. The subject property
is bordered by wooded, undeveloped property and commercial properties.
3.3 Environmental Setting
CEI evaluated the environmental setting during the site walk through and
review of the topographic map evaluation. The approximate elevation of the subject
property is approximately 800 feet above mean sea level (see Figure 1). The surface
gradient of the subject properfy appears to be slope from the northeast to the
southwest.
3.3.1 Surface Water Characteristics
CEI did not observe surface water on the subject property at the time of the site
walk through. The nearest swface water, based upon a review of the topographic
3-1
map, is an unnamed creek located approximately 200 feet northeast from the subject
property. The creek appears to branch from the South Pony Branch River.
The Flood Insurance Rate Map {370158 0020) dated February 3, 1993, notes
that the site is located in Zone X. Zone X is the designation assigned to areas
considered to be outside the 500-year floodplain. The U.S. Department of the Interior
Fish & Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory Comelius1 North Carolina map
dated 1991, notes that no designated wetland areas are associated with the subject
property.
3. 3 .2 Subsurface Geological Characterization
The United States Department of Agriculture -Soil Conservation Service, Soil
Survey of Mecklenburg County identifies the characteristics of the soil on the subject
property as Cecil sandy clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded (CeB2).
As described in the Soil Survey, the soil is typically classified as CeB2.
Typically, the surface layer is yellowish red sandy clay loam about 6 inches thick. the
subsoil is approximately 47 inches thick. The upper part is red clay, and the lower
part is red clay loam. The organic matter content is low in the surface layer of th.is
Cecil soil. The permeability is moderate, the available water capacity is medium, the
shrink-swell potential is moderate, and the surface runoff is medium. The water table
is below 6 feet. The subsoil is strongly acid or very strongly acid. Most of the acreage
is used as cropland. Some areas are used for hay and pasture. The rest is forested.
This soil has high potential for most urban uses.
3.4 Current Propertv Ownership and Usage
According to tax information obtained from the Mecklenburg County Tax
Assessor's office, the subject property is currently owned by Michael W. Rogers and
3-2
wife, Reba Lowe Rogers. The subject property is currently used as a dty-cleaning and
laundiy facility.
3.5 Former Property Ownership and Usage
A review of aerial photographs, tax information and on-site inteIViews with
Mike Rogers, the current owner of the building, indicates that the subject property
has operated as a dry cleaner and laundry operation since approximately 1930.
Between the years 1912 and 1930 the subject property operated as a Model T Ford
Showroom and a livery stable. CEI was unable to determine the usage of the subject
property to prior 1912.
3.5.1 Chain of Ownership
CEI obtained the current deeds for the parcels from the Mecklenburg County
Deed Office located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The following is a list of the current
deeds and owners of each parcel. Table 1 lists the property owners for the former
tract 1 and tract 2 of Parcel 1. Table 2 lists the property owners for Parcel 2.

3.5.2 Aerial Photograph Review
CEI reviewed aerial photographs dated 1966, 1975, 1978, 1980, 1983, 1986,
and 1990 from the Mecklenburg County Engineering Department in Charlotte, North
Carolina. In addition, CE! also reviewed aerial photographs dated 1938, 1951, 1956,
1968 and 1983 from the Mecklenburg County Soil and Water Conservation
Department in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 1990 aerial photograph illustrates the
subject property with the currently existing structure and a smaller structure on the
southern portion of the subject property. Commercial properties appear to surround
the subject property t o the north and across Zion Avenue to the west, and wooded,
3-4
undeveloped property to the east and south. The remaining aerial photographs
appear to be similar to the 1990 aerial photograph. A copy of the 1990 aerial is
included in Appendix B of this report.
3.5.3 City Directories Review
City directories do not exist for Cornelius, North Carolina, therefore CEI was
unable to review city directories for the subject property.
3.5.4. Sanborn Map Review
Since the subject property was not located within the city limits at the time
Sanborn maps were developed for the area, CEI did not observe the subject property
in the Sanborn Maps reviewed.
3.6 Adjacent Properties Usage
The adjacent properties for the subject property consist of both commercial and
residential properties. The adjacent property to the north is a building operated by an
architectural firm, to the southeast is undeveloped property, to the southwest across
Zion Avenue and the railroad tracks is an asphalt-paved parking lot associated with
the Town Hall. A vacant mill is located to the west across Zion Avenue and the
railroad tracks. The property to the east is undeveloped property.

incident sites. One site was listed within a one-half mile radius of the subject
property.
• Cornelius Town Hall is located at 21410 Catawba Avenue, Cornelius, North
Carolina, approximately 200 feet southwest of the subject property. According to
a Comprehensive Site Assessment prepared by Petroleum Environmental
Consultants, Inc. dated June 27, 1996, describes the removal of one 550-gallon
gasoline UST (UST-1) and one 1,000-gallon gasoline UST (UST-2) from the site on
March 20, 1995. Based on analytical results for UST-1 basin, which were below
the analytical detection method (EPA Method 5030), no further action was
warranted. However, soil samples collected from UST-2 tank basin indicated a
release of product. This report further stated that the soil contamination was
4-4
detected horizontially (38 feet long across) and 10 feet vertically, the apparent
ground water depth at this site. A site map shows the apparent ground water flow
to be southwest, away from the subject property. The horizontal and vertical
extent of the ground water has been determined. The letter recommended that free
product in the onsite monitoring wells can be eliminated by bi-monthly recovering.
CEI was unable to locate additional information beyond this report. According to a
letter prepared by NCDEHNR dated July 18, 1996, the site is ranked a low priority
site. Therefore regulatory requirements are temporarily suspended.
4.2 Governmental Agencies
CEI contacted Mr. Dale Readling with the Mecklenburg County Hazardous
Materials Division regarding reports of hazardous materials spills at the subject
property. Mr. Readling was not available. CEI also contacted Ms. Julie Lueck with
Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal's Office regarding reports of USTs permits having
been issued for the subject property. Ms. Lueck stated that permits for USTs or ASTs
have not been issued for the subject property. However, Ms. Lueck stated that a
hazardous materials permit is issued for the solvents located on the subject property.
CEI contacted Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to
determine if there are permits or incident reported for the subject property. A
representative of the DEP stated that there are no incident files for the subject
property. Copies of the Records of Communication are included in Appendix C

5.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND INTERVIEWS
On Tuesday, July 29, 1997, Christopher R. Burnett, C.E.A., performed the site
walk through. During the site walk through, CE! viewed the perimeter of the subject
property, and walked throughout the commercial building noting areas of interest or
concern. Wherever possible, areas of concern were further investigated and
documented below. Photographs of the site are provided in Appendix D and a site
drawing illustrating the photograph locations is presented as Figure 3A and
Figure 3B.
5.1 Storage Tank Svstems
CE! did not obseIVe evidence of USTs on the subject property. However, two
water USTs, used in the laundry process, were formerly located at the eastern portion
of the dry cleaning and laundry facility. Mr. Rogers stated that these USTs were
removed within the past few years.
CE! obseIVed one 250-gallon AST containing Quick Dry, a solvent used for
cleaning purposes. CE! did not observe leaking or staining associated with the AST.
In addition, approximately 14 years ago one heating oil AST was removed. The
subject property currently utilizes natural gas.
5.2 Transformers and PCB Equipment
CE! obseIVed three pole-mounted transformers located on the southern portion
of the subject property. The pole-mounted transformers appeared to be in good
condition with no observable leakage or staining on the underlying ground surface. A
representative with Duke Power stated that Duke Power would test the transformers
to determine their PCB content at the owner's expense. The representative also stated
that Duke Power would be responsible for clean up involving the transformers. CEI
did not obseIVe pad-mounted transformers located on the subject property.

5.3 Hazardous and Regulated Substances
CEI observed various cleaning supplies located inside the dry cleaning and
laund!y facility. CE! observed water treatment chemicals such as; one 5-gallon
container of SWE-52226, one 15-gallon container of SWE-5040, and one 5-gallon
container of SWE-5026. CEI also observed lubricant oils used on the dry cleaning
equipment. Approximately 5-gallons of lubricant oils are used every 90 days.
Additionally Mr. Rogers stated that "at no time during his ownership (approximately
14 years) or during the former owner/operations was perchloroethelyene used in the
on-site dry cleaning and laundry operation.» Mr. Rogers stated that a petroleum
solvent, Quick Dry, has been used in the current and historical dry cleaning process.
5.4 Asbestos Containing Material Evaluation
CE! did riot collect samples of suspect ACM at the time of the site visit. CEI did
however note the presence of suspect ACM. The following items are considered
suspect ACM in the New Method Cleaners: wallboard and joint compound; floor tile
and mastic; linoleum and associated adhesive; and roofing materials. The date of
construction for this building (southern portion-approximately 1912 and northern
portion-approximately 1960) indicates a high probability for the presence of ACMs. It
is important to understand that only collecting and analyzing representative building
material can provide definitive information as to the presence or absence of ACM.
Current regulations allow for the building's architect and contractor to "certify" that
ACMs were not utilized for this structure.
5.5 Additional Information
CEI observed a former septic system located on the southeastern portion of the
subject property. In the past few years, the subject property has been utilizing
municipal systems.

INTRODUCilON
Consulting Englnee"
Geoscience is currently preparing a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the subject
property. Research conducted as part of the Phase I ESA revealed that the subject site has
operated as a dry cleaning business since approximately 1922, prior to which the site had
operated as a Ford dealership and a livery stable. The purpose of this environmental sampling
event was to detennine whether the property has been impacted by releases associated with dry
cleaning operations on the site.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING ACTIYITIES
On April 17, 2014, Geoscience mobilized to the site to monitor the installation of four (4)
Geoprobe borings (GP-1 through GP-4) on the property by Akers Environmental. The borings
were advanced at the locations shown on the Sample Location Diagram, included in Appendix I
as Drawing No. CH14.0045-A. Borings GP-1 and GP-2 were located to explore the possibility
of releases from an abandoned septic tank and several reported waste water tanks located behind
the building. Boring GP-3 was advanced adjacent to the discharge point of a floor drain located
near the existing dry cleaning machine. Boring GP-4 was located topographically down gradient
from borings GP-1 through GP-3.
Each boring was advanced to a depth of approximately thirty-four (34) feet below the ground
surface (BGS), with continuous soil sampling conducted within the top fifteen (15) feet BGS.
Soil samples from depths of 2, 5, I 0, and 15 feet BGS were selected for laboratory analysis. The
selected samples were placed in laboratory-provided containers, packed on ice, and transported
in a cooler under appropriate chain-of ~ustody procedures to Prism Laboratories, Inc. (Prism) of
Charlotte, North Carolina for chemical analysis. The sixteen (16) soil samples were analyzed for
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) EPA Method 8260. In addition, the samples were analyzed
for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the gasoline (GRO) and diesel (DRO) ranges.
Following collection of the soil samples, borings GP-2, GP-3, and GP-4 were completed as one
(I) inch diameter temporary monitoring wells. The temporary wells were each set with a ten
(10) foot screened section with an eleven (11) foot sand filter pack. The temporary wells were
subsequently sampied in general accordance with NCDENR guidelines. After sample collection,
the temporary wells were properly abandoned. Copies of the Well Construction and
Abandonment Records are included in Appendix II.

The three (3) groundwater samples (GP-2 through GP-4) were submitted to Prism Laboratories
and analyzed for VOCs and Semi-VOCs by EPA methods 6200B and 625, respectively. No
groundwater sample was collected at GP-1.
S4MfLE RESULTS
Soil Samples: The results of the soil sample analyses are listed on Table 1: Summary of Soil
Sampling R&u.lts (Appendix I). AF. shown, tetrachloroethylene (PCE) was detected in samples
GP-1-2, GP-1 -10, GP-3-2, and GP-4-15 at concentrations ranging from 1.3 to 9.2 mg/kg. These
concentrations exceed the 0.005 mg/kg Preliminary Soil Remediation Goal (PSRG) established
by the NCDENR Inactive Hazardous Sites (IHS) Branch for protection of groundwater. In
addition, cis-1,2 dichloroethylene was detected in sample GP-2-10 at a concentration of 0.0023
mg/kg. However, this concentration does not exceed applicable PSRGs. No other chlorinated
solvents were detected in the .soil samples.
The following petroleum VOCs were detected at concentrations above their respective PSRG in
samples GP-2-2 and GP-2-15: sec-butylbenzene; tert-butylbenzene; n~butylbenzene; 4-
isopropyltoluene; isopropylbenzene; naphthalene; n-propylbenzene; and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene.
In addition, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene concentrations in these two samples e~ceeded its commercial
health based PSRG of 52 mg/kg. Petroleum VOCs were also detected in samples GP-2-5, GP-2-
10, and GP-3-10 but at concentrations below NCDENR established PSRGs. No petroleum
VOCs were detected in the s.oil samples from GP-1 or GP-4.
Elevated TPH GRO and DRO concentrations were detected in samples GP-2-2, GP-2-15,
GP-4-5, and GP-4-15. Although PSRGs have not been established for TPH results, the elevated
TPH concentrations suggests that petroleum compounds not detectable EPA method 8260 may
be present at those locations.
Groundwater Samples: The results of the groundwater sample analysis are listed on Table 2:
Summary of Groundwater Sampling Results. As shown, PCE was detected in all three (3)
samples at concentrations ranging from 0.74 to 8.3 µg/L. These concentrations exceed the 0.7
µg/L North Carolina Groundwater Standard (2L Standard) established for PCE. In addition,
trichloroethylene; 1, 1, 1 thrichloroethane; 1, 1,2-trichloroethane; l, 1-dichloroethane; 1,2-
dichloroethane; and 1, 1-dichloroethylene exceeded their respective 2L Standard in groundwater
sample GP-2. Other chlorinated compounds were detected in the groundwater samples, but at
concentration below their respective 2L Standards.
In addition to the chlorinated compounds, petroleum voes were detected in in all three (3)
groundwater samples. The petroleum compounds detected were generally consistent with those
encountered in the soil samples. However, none of the detected petroleum VOCs were present at
concentrations exceeding 2L standards. No Semi-VOCs compounds were detected in the water
samples. Copies of the laboratory test reports are included in Appendix III.

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORl\1ATJON
The subject site (as shown on Figure 1) is located northwest of the intersection of N.C.
Highway 115 (Old Statesville Road) and Catawba Street in Cornelius, Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina. The approximately ten·acre site contains a 273,000 square-foot building
(Figure 2) which was most recently occupied by Reeves Brothers, Inc. Reeves Brothers cut
and laminated polyurethane foam for automobile seats and furniture. The building currently
is not occupied.
As part of a preliminary contamination assessment (LEI report dated April 12, 1990), Law
Environmental drilled borings at the site and installed six ground-water monitoring wells.
Laboratory testing of ground-water samples indicated the presence of volatile organic
constituents in three wells, MW-2, MW-3 and MW-4 (Figure 3). These wells were
resampled as part of the scope of work reported herein and laboratory testing confirmed the
presence of ground-water contamination at levels exceeding those established by the State
of North Carolina Division of Environmental Management [North Carolina Water Ouaiity
Standards; 15 NCAC 2L .0202 (g), dated August 1, 1989].

2.0 REGIONAL HYDROGEOLOGY
2.1 Geology
The project site is located in the Charlotte geologic belt of the Piedmont Physiographic
Province, an area underlain by ancient igneous and metamorphic rocks. The virgin soils
encountered in this area are the residual product of in-place weathering of rock which was
similar to the rock presently underlying the site. Jn areas not altered by erosion or disturbed
by the activities of man, the typical residual soil profile consists of clayey soils near the
surface, where soil weathering is more advanced, underlain by sandy silts and silty sands.
The boundary between soil and rock is· not sharply defined. A transitional zone termed
"partially weathered rock" is normally found and is defined, for engii;ieering purposes, as
residual material with standard penetration resistances equivalent to or in excess of 100
b1ows per foot. Weathering is facilitated by fractures, joints and by the presence of less
resistant rock types. Consequently, the profile of partially weathered rock and rock is quite
irregular and erratic, even over short horizontal distances. Also, it is not unusual to find
lenses and boulders of hard rock and 2:ones of partially weathered rock within the soiJ
mantle, well above the general bedrock level.

2.2 Regional Recharge and Movement of Ground Water
Local precipitation is the source of practically all of the ground water in Mecklenburg
County. A portion of the precipitation infiltrates into the ground and moves under the
influence of gravity to the water table. After the water has reached the water table, the
direction of movement is parallel to the hydraulic gradient. In the Piedmont Province, the
slope of the water table under static conditions (no pumping interference) approximates the
topography. Thus, the movement of ground water is approximately in the direction of the
topographic slope. The movement of ground water results in discharge to streams, lakes ~r
springs where the ground water intersects topographic lows occupied by these features. The
·.
hydraulic head beneath upland areas is generally greater than the head of the water in
stream channels; thus, ground·water.flows toward the streams.
2.3 Ground-Water Supply
In this geologic setting, the uppermost aquifer for ground-water supply includes two
components; saprolite and crystalline rock. Saprolite is soil derived from rock material that
has weathered in place and has not undergone erosion, transport or deposition.
Ground water in the saprolite occurs under water-table conditions. Water occupies the
interstices between the grains of the saprolite and is in hydrostatic balance with the
atmosphere at the water surface (water table).

In crystalline rocks, ground water occurs in fractures, joints and other openings in the rock.
These openings intersect the top of bedrock and are recharged by ground water stored in
the overlying saprolite. 'When a rock well intersects fractures or joints, water may move
through the fractures/joints from the saprolite to the well.

3.0 ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES
3.1 Water Usage Survey
A field survey of potential water users was conducted within a 1500-foot radius of the
contaminant sources at the subject site. The field survey was performed by a vehicular
reconnaissance along accessible roads within the study area. Well records available at the
DEM office in Mooresville, North Carolina were reviewed for those wells within
approximately 1500 feet of the bounda?}' of the contaminated area.
3.2 Soil Test Borings
Five additional borings were drilled at the site for this phase of assessment; locations were
selected by Law Environmental. Monitoring wells were installed in these borings to explore
ground-water contamination (Figure 3). A description of procedures for soil test borings
is presented in Appendix I. Details of well construction are provided on the attached
Monitoring Well Installation Records in Appendix IL Test Boring Records showing
descriptions of the subsurface materials encountered are in Appendix III. Records of the
previously drilled borings and wells are included in the Appendices, herein.
Horizontal locations of the borings were identified in the field by measuring with a tape and
estimated right angles, referencing site features.

3.3 Ground-Water Monitoring \Velis
The locations of borings drilled for monitoring well installation were selected to delineate
the horizontal and vertical extent of ground-water contamination at the site. Monitoring
wells MW-7 through MW-11 were installed in the boreholes created by the soil borings
described above. Locations are indicated on Figure 3. Well MW-7 was installed in an
apparently upgradjent location relative to welJ MW·3 to determine the extent of ground-
water contamination near the loading dock in that area. MW-8 was installed to a depth
below the water table to determine the vertical extent of ground-water contamination in the
vicinity of the reported underground varsol tank near well MW-2. Wells MW-10 and MW-
11 were installed inside the building to address the horizontal extent of contamination
previou,sly measured in ground water from well MW-2. Well ~-9 was installed to
address the horizontal extent of contamination in the vicinity of the bay doors and railroad
tracks on the eastern portion of the site near well MW-4.
Wells MW-7, MW-9, MW-10 and MW-11 were constructed as Type II monitoring wells with
their screened intervals spanning the stablized ground-water level. Well MW-8 was
constructed as a Type m monitoring well.

Water-level measurements of all the wells on site were made on July 26, 1990. Water
levels were obtained using a decontaminated, battery-powered, water·levc1 indicator.
Relative elevations of the top of each well's riser were measured with a level and rod,
referencing well MW~3 and assigning the top of that casing an elevation of 100 feet. A
summary of ground-water elevation data from July 26, 1990 is contained in Table 1.
3.4 Ground-"'ater Sampling and Chemical Analyses
The newly installed monitoring wells were developed to allow the formation around the
screened interval to recover from the effects of drilling and to bring fresh formation water
into the wells. Wells were developed a'D.d/or purged by removing at least six well volumes
of water or by bailing to dryness twice. Development/purging and sampling were done
using separate, laboratory-cleaned Teflon hailers and new polypropylene rope for each well
and sampling event. Ground-water samples were obtained from wells MW-7 through MW-
11 on July 6, 1990.
Ground-water samples were labeled, packed in ice, and shipped for overnight delivery to
Law Environmental National Laboratories in Kennesaw, Georgia. Ground-water samples
were analyzed for volatile organic constituents (EPA Method 8240). Laboratory reports
and chain·of-custody records are included in Appendix N .

To aid in evaluating the rate of contaminant migration, in-situ hydraulic conductivity tests
were performed in wells MW-7. MW-9 and MW-11~ Rising-head recovel)' (in-flow) tests
were conducted in each of the tested wells by removing water from the well with a
laboratory-decontaminated Teflon bailer and measuring the ground-water as it recovered
to static level. The data were reduced and saturated hydraulic conductivity (k) of the
screened intervals was calculated based on the variable-head method (NA VFAC DM-7.1).
Results of the hydraulic conductivity tests are presented in Table 2.

4.0 FINDINGS
4.1 \\'ater Usage
Our field survey indicated several residences wi~in a 1500-foot radius of the boundary of
the contaminated area (Figure 1). These residences bad no apparent well housing on the
property. We are not aware of any community water supply wells within the 1500-foot study
radius. The City of Cornelius obtains its drinking water from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Utilities Department.
4.2 Subsurface Conditions • Soil ..
Possible residual soils were encountered in the newly drilled borings beneath about 2 inches
of topsoil (MW-7, MW-8) or one foot of payed surface (MW-9) to a depth of about 5 feet.
Residual soils were encountered at about 5 ft and extended to the boring termination
depths.
Residual soils at the borings generally consist of micaceous sandy silt and are similar to
those encountered in previously drilled borings MW-1 through MW-6. Borings were
terminated in soil at depths of 30 ft in borings MW-7 and MW-9 and 49.5 ft in boring M\V-
S. The general subsurface conditions encountered in the borings are illustrated in profile
on Fjgure 4 and S.

4.3 Subsurface Conditions -Ground Water
Depth to stabilized ground water from the top of the well casin~ (all of which are within
an inch or so of the ground surface) ranged from 17.1 ft in MW-3 to 23.6 ft in 'MW-7 on
July 26, 1990. Relative ground-water elevations were computed from the water depths
(measured from the top of the PVC risers) and the measured relative elevation of the top
of each well
Contours of ground-water elevation are drawn based on the data in TabJe 1. As shown on
Figure 6, the site appears to be situated on a ground-water divide and the direction of
· ..
shallow ground-water flow in the vicinity of the monitoring wells is generally to the
northwest and to the southeast, based on the measurements of July 26, 1990.
In-situ permeability tests were performed at wells MW-7, MW-9 and MW-11. The soil
material opposite the screened interval of the well was sandy silt at we.11 MW-7 and MW-9;
soil samples were not obtained at well MW-11. The hydraulic conductivity at these wells
ranged frQm about 7 x 10-s cm/sec to 15 x 10-4 cm/sec. Results of the in-situ permeability
tests are summarized in Table 2.

To evaluate potential rates of contaminant migration, ground-water flow velocities were
estimated using a formula derh'ed from Darcy's Law: v = ki
ne
where: v
k
i
ne
= average linear ground-water flow '1elocity = hydraulic conductivity
g hydraulic gradient = effective porosity of the aquifer (0.20)
The hydraulic gradient, i, was determined from the ground-water contours illustrated on
Figure 6, with well MW-2 being used as a reference point on an apparent ground·water
divide. CalcuJations were made to address both directioris of ground-water flow. The
approximate value of "ne" was obtainc;_? from several literature sources. The calculated
average flow velocity for ground water flowing in both directions is about 4 feet per year.
4.4 Subsurface Conditions • Comments
The above descriptions provide a general summary of the subsurface conditions
encountered. The Test Boring Records in Appendix m contain detailed information
recorded at each boring location. These Test Boring Records represent our interpretation
of soil conditions at the borings based on our examination of the soil samples. The lines
designating the interfaces between various strata represent approximate boundaries and the
transition between strata may be gradual.

Ground-water levels may fluctuate several feet with seasonal and rainfalJ variations and with
changes in the water level in drainage f ea tu res. Normally, the highest ground-water levels
occur in late winter and spring and the lowest levels occur in late summer and fall.

(July 26, 1990) are summarized in Table 3. Results from the resarnpling of wells MW-1,
MW-5 and MW-6 (May 30, 1990) are included along with the previously reported results
from wells MW·2, MW-3 and MW-4. Laboratory reports for the current sampling events
are contained in Appendix IV.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were not detected in ground water from wells MW-1,
MW-5, MW-6 and M\V-11. Each of the remaining wells had detectable le"1els of VOCs in
water ranging from total concentrations of 12 ugfl (parts per billion) in well MW-7 to 164
ug/1 in MW-2 Total VOC concentrations are listed on the profiles (Figures 4 and 5) and
illustrated with contours on the VOC isopleth map (Figure 7). Each of the wells that
contained VOCs in ground water had one or more organic constituent at 1evels exceeding
standards set by the State of North Carolina (NC Water Quality Standard, NCAC
2L0202(g) dated August 1, 1989).

Chlorofonn and tetrachloroetbene were detected at levels exceeding state guidelines in the
sample from deep well MW-8, located near the reported underground varsol tank.
Tetrachloroethene was measured in shallow wells MW-3, MW-7 and MW-10. Chloroform
was not detected in ground water at any of the shallow wells.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the information obtained to date, the vertical extent of contamination in the
vicinity of the varsol tank bas essentially been delineated by results from the MW-2/MW-8
well cluster. The top of the screened interval of well MW-8 is about 14.5 feet below the
bottom of the screen at well MW-2. The concentration of total volatile organic constituents
in ground water from well MW-8 is about 13 percent of that in well MW-2. Thus, we
project the vertical extent of contamination at this location to be about 60 feet deep (see
Figure 4).
Chloroform was only detected in well MW-8. Chloroform is a byproduct of chlorinated
water containing organic compounds and sometimes is seen in wells drilled using a
municipal water source. Trace amounts of chloroform also can be residual in laboratory
glassware. We recommend resampling well MW-8 to verify the presence or absence of
chloroform in grollnd water.
Ground-water contamination in the horizontal dimension appears to extend off-site to the
east of Highway 115. Additional ground-water monitoring wells at selected off-site location~
would be needed to identify the source and delineate the extent o.f this contamination. At
this point, it does not appear that the varsol tank is the source of ground water
contamination at the east side of the property. The horizontal extent of ground-water
contamination on site to the north has not been determined based on information obtained

to date. Additional monitoring wells would be necessary to delineate the horizontal extent
of contamination in this direction. The possibility of a third source of contamination at the
northern loading dock would be explored as part of additional assessment to the north of
the building.
The horizontal extent of contamination to the west and south of the reported underground
varsoJ tank has essentially been delineated based on results of chemical testing of ground·
water obtained from wells MW-1 and MW·ll.
Based on the results of this assessment, we recommend ground-water recovery to restore the
shallow aquifer at this site. ·Restoration of the aquifer at the site could begin with
installation of a recovery well at the "M.W-2/MW-8 well duster. The recovery well would
be installed to a depth of 60 ft and constructed with a screened interval of about 30 feet.
Ground water would be treated on site prior to being discharged to the storm sewer (via
NPDES permitting) or to the sanitary sewer (through permitting by the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg Utility Department). Discharge to an infiltration gallery is also an option.
Based on hydrogeologic conditions encountered at this site and our experience with similar
conditions, we anticipate discharge from a 4·incb diameter recovery well will be in the range
of 1 or 2 gallons per minute. The lateral influence of the pumping well would be monitored

after installation and commencement of the recovery system. Existing wells at the site (and
additional wells, if needed) would be utilized to monitor the effectiveness of the recovery
system, which could be supplemented as appropriate based on that effectiveness monitoring.
Additional remedial-action measures likely will be needed in other areas of the property.
Recovery wells may be determined to be appropriate at or near monitoring wells MW-3
and/or MW-9 following delineation of ground-water contamination in those areas.

Dear Ms. Finley:
On behalf of Dockside Cornelius. LLC. LAW Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (LAW). is
providing additional assessment infonnation regarding the subject site as requested by the North
Carolina Department of Environment and 1\atural Resources (NCDE'l\R). This additionaJ information
was requested by the NCDENR during a meeting on ~ovember S, 1998 between Mr. E. Judson
McAdams and Mr. Jimmy Wade of Dockside Cornelius, LLC: Mr. Bill Bto'wn and Mr. Barry Webb of
the Town ofC'omeliu~; Mr. Michael Annour of LAW: and ~b. Peggy Fin le~ and Mr. Matt Heller of the
NCDENR.
Background
The Cornelius Town Center property is loc:ited at ~010i North Main Street in Cornelius. North Carolina
(Figure I). A one-story mill building '"ith assccia1ed parking v.as formerly located at this approximate
10-acre :site. The building was demolished in 1997, and the c!ebris was removed from the site. TI1e site
i!t currently being developed for the new Comelius Town Hall, a retail (Food Lion) shopping center
complex, and several proposed mixed-use buildings. For site assessment purposes, the site is divided
into three main tracts. Tract I contains the Food Lion shopping center and adjacent retail businesses
under construction with associated parking and one vacant parcel that is to be developed in the nc:ar
future. Tract JJ contains the new Cornelius Town Hall under construction and two vacant farcels that
have not been developed to date. Tract III contains 011e parcel that has not yet been developed.

LAW submitted a eorrective action plan (CAP) to the NCDENR dated August 3, 1998 for the above
referenced site. Detailed within the CAP were a proposal for natural attenuation of groundwater at the
site, and a sampling program designed to monitor the natural attenuation process. The NCDENR
responded to the CAP requesting additional assessment and verification of groundwater quality at the
site. The NCDENR requested installation of seven Type II wells and four Type III wells at the site. As a
result of telephone conversations between representatives ofNCDENR and LAW. it was decided that a
cost-effective strategy for the additional assessment would include installing seven Type JI wells and two
Type Ill wells, with re-evaluation of the necessity for and location of additional wells based on the
results of this phase of the assessment.
Following installation and sampling of the wells, sample results were forwarded to the NCDENR in n
November 2, 1998 report. During the November 5, 1998 meeting previously referenced, Ms. Finley
stated that, to support correspondence from the NCDENR regarding implementing natural attenuation for
Tract I, an additional cluster of one shallow and one deep monitoring well would need to be installed
and sampled in the vicinity of MW-SA and DW-8A shown on Figure 1. The purpose of these wells is to
support historic data that indicate n groundwater divide in Tract I and to provide analytical data regarding
the shallow and deep components of the aquifer. The NCDENR would then prepare a letter response
based on this data to promote the permanent Joan closing for this tract. Presented herein are field
activities including a groundwater assessment, with findings and recommendations, and receptor survey
as requested at the November S, 1998 meeting.
Field Activities
Groundwater Assessment
On November 6, 1998, American Environmental Drilling Services, Inc. mobilized to the site as 3
subcontractor to LA \V to install a Type JU monitoring well (DW-8A), as shown on Figure I. Well
installation was completed on November 7. 1998. Bedrock was encountered at 55 feet below ground
surface (bgs). The bottom of the well casing was installed at 57 feet bgs. A two-inch well was installed
at 65 feet bgs with five feet of .010-inch slotted PVC screen. On November 9, 1998, LA \V mobilized to
lhe site and installed a Type II monitoring well (MW-SA}, as shown on Figure 1, to a depth of 30 feet
bgs with ten feet of .OlO·inch slotted PVC screen. The monitoring wells were installed as close to the
2
(Page 6 of 51)
locations requested by the NCDENR as site conditions would allow. The top of casing elevations for
each well were measured and groundwater measurements taken on November 17, 1998 to detennine a
groundwater flow direction (Table I and Figure 2).
After well development and purging. one groundwater sample was collected from each of the monitoring
wells and analY2ed for chlorinated compounds using EPA Method 8021. In addition, a soil sample was
collected from the 18.S to 20.S foot section of MW-SA and analyzed for chlorinated compounds using
EPA Method 8260. The analytical results for the samples analyzed by Prism Laboratories, Inc. are
presented in Table 2. A copy of the laboratory analytical data for groundwater and soil including chain-
of-custody form, boring togs, and well construction records are attached.
Assessment Findings and Recommcpdations
Analytical results for the groundwater samples collected in the monitoring wells (MW-SA and OW-SA)
recently installed in Tract . I did not indicate Tetrachloroethene (PCE). Analytical results for the
groundwater sample collected in MW-SA indicated concentrations of 2.0 ug!L of 1,1-Dichloroethene and
1.3 ug/L of 1,1,1-Trichloroethane. which are below NC2L standards of 7.0 ug/L and 200 ug/L,
respectively. No analyzed contaminants in the soil sample obtained from the M\V-8A boring were
detected. Groundwater at the site appears to flow in north and westerly directions in the northern
portion, and in south and easterly directions in the southern portion of Tract I, generally confinning the
divide previously noted. Shallower bedrock as encountered in DW-8A is also supportive of a
southeasterly contaminant flow away from the Lake Nonnan direction.
LAW does not recommend installation of additional monitoring wells on Tract l. The monitoring
program recommended in the CAP submitted to the NCDENR on August 3, 1998 should be implemented
to monitor the natural attenuation processes on this tract. A letter confinning this as NCDENR's
probable approach to Tract l before loan closing is also requested.

Receptor Survey
• Water Supply Wells
LAW personnel did not identify water supply wells located within a l,500-foot radius of the site (Figure
3).
• Public Water Supplies
According to Mr. Wayne Livingston of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD). the area
within a J 500-foot radius of the site area is currently served by a public water supply.
• Surface Waters
There are no surface waters located within 1,500 feet of the sourte areas of discharge.
• Wellhead Protection Areas
This site is not located in a wellhead protection area.
• Subsurface Structures
There are currently no obversable subsurface structures located on the site.
• Lnnd Use
The site is curTently being developed for the new Cornelius Town Hall, a retail shopping center complex,
and several proposed mix.ed~use buildings. The zoning status of the site is commercial. The zoning
status of the surrounding properties is predominantly residential to the east of Old Statesville Road
(Highway 115) and to the north of the shopping center complex.
These factors confirm the low priority status already accorded the site by the NCDENR.
