This multi-parcel site totals over 92 acres. It is presently owned by the City of Winston-Salem and has been
used for athletic events including NASCAR racing, office use, parking and parkland. In addition certain parcels
comprising this property were formerly used as a demolition landfill and a separate municipal landfill. The
Salem Greenway Trail and Salem Creek are situated along the northern boundary of this Property.

Winston-Salem State University has leased portions of this property for athletic and academic purposes and is
interested in purchasing the property from the City to expand its current use as an athletic stadium and athletic
fields, parking, parkland, and office use. The university is interested in expanding these facilities as per their
Campus Master Plan for athletic events and as an entertainment complex to increase tourism revenue to the
area.

If you have any information to suggest that these parcels or PD entity should not be eligible for the Brownfield
program, please provide that information to me at [e-mail] by *October 24, 2013*.

Please be advised that the Program does not desire to inundate all regulatory entities with additional email
notices unless you request it. Therefore, if you would like to be notified when this project is deemed eligible to
pursue a brownfields agreement, please let me know. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

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. Therefore, DENR cleanup programs are free to pursue any and all parties who caused or contributed
to the existing contamination at the site. 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 numerous 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.

Furthermore, the BFA will not change the prospective developer's responsibility to obtain any and all DENR
permits (e.g. stormwater, sediment control, NPDES, etc.) required for its operations or activities on site from the
appropriate DENR agencies, as required under applicable law.
