Re: Remedial Investigation/Remedial Action Completion
Former Meredith/Burda, Inc. Facility
Newton, Catawba County, North Carolina
Site ID No. NCD991279118

Dear Mr. Carter:

On December 20, 2013, the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB, Branch) received a certified Combined
Remedial Investigation and Remedial Action Completion Report and a Combined Remedial Investigation &
Remedial Action Completion Certification “For No Action Remedy” for the former Meredith/Burda, Inc. Site
(Site). Your Registered Environmental Consultant (REC), AECOM, certified that, to the best of its knowledge,
site cleanup levels determined pursuant to 15A NCAC 13C.0308 were achieved and no significant or
otherwise unacceptable risk or harm to human health or the environment remains at the Site. A No Further
Action letter was issued for the Site on January 2, 2014.

A review of the file with AECOM revealed the R.R. Donnelly & Sons Site (former IHSB Site ID#
NONCD0002357) was also located on a portion of the Former Meredith/Burda, Inc. Site. The R.R. Donnelly &
Sons Site file was subsequently merged into the Former Meredith/Burda, Inc. Site in July 2014. On November
24, 2014, the Branch received a certified addendum to the December 20, 2013 Combined Remedial
Investigation and Remedial Action Completion Report. In the report, AECOM certified that, to the best of its
knowledge, site cleanup levels determined pursuant to 15A NCAC 13C.0308 have been achieved and no
significant or otherwise unacceptable risk or harm to human health or the environment remains at the R.R.
Donnelly portion of the Site.

On October 24, 2012, a REC-Administrative Agreement was executed for the Site. Your REC’s certification
indicates that all requirements for cleanup under the Inactive Hazardous Sites Response Act G.S. 130A-310,
et seq. and the voluntary remedial action Registered Environmental Consultant Program Rules (15A NCAC
13C .0300) have been met. Therefore, the Site has been transferred from the “Responsible Party Voluntary
Remedial Action” category to the “Sites Requiring No Further Action” listing. No further remediation will be
required at the Site unless the Branch later determines, based on an audit of the Site file, new information, or
information not previously provided to the Branch, that the Site has not been remediated to current standards
or that the Branch was provided with false or incomplete information.

I appreciate your cooperation with the remedial activities that were performed. If you have any questions,
please contact me at [phone].

Sincerely,
Matthew S. Aufman, Hydrogeologist
Division of Waste Management
