Dear Ms. McMillan:

ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) has prepared a Soil Management Plan to manage the excavation, handling and disposal of soil from the Area of Known Contamination, as defined in the Brownfields
Agreement for the referenced property. This plan has been developed at the request of the North Carolina Division of Waste Management (NCDWM) - Brownfields Group.
ECS appreciates the opportunity to provide our environmental consulting services to you on this project. If you have any questions concerning this report or this project, please contact us.
Sincerely,
ECS SOUTHEAST, LLP

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Paragraph 14 in the Notice of Brownfields Property Exhibit A (the Brownfields Agreement for the
site) requires Crescent South Tryon, LLC to remove soils exceeding unrestricted use standards
from the area shown on the Brownfields Plat as “Area of Known Soil Contamination”: As reflected on the plat, soils in this area contain modest concentrations of constituents that exceed
unrestricted use standards. The Brownfields Agreement further requires that Crescent South
Tryon prepare a Soil Management Plan for approval by Brownfields that details how these soils will be removed, including a schedule for their removal, how the removal will be implemented,
collection of confirmation samples, and how confirmation sampling will be conducted.
1.1 Site Background
The Brownfields Site is currently comprised of three parcels identified as Mecklenburg Parcel ID Nos. 12512105, 12512103, 12512102 and Parcel 12512101, which is currently being added to
the Site through application to the NC Brownfields Program. Parcels 12512103 and 12512102 are currently owned by Crescent Communities LLC. Parcel 12512105 is owned by CLT
Development LLC, and Parcel 12512101 is owned by Asana Partners Fund I TRS LLC. The
four parcels together total approximately 3.5 acres. The Area of Known Soil Contamination is located on Parcel 12512103 and faces East Stonewall Street on the southeast corner with
South Tryon Street in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Figures 1 and 2 and
Exhibit B). The site was occupied by a Goodyear Auto Center. The former Goodyear building has since been demolished and only the slab remains.
2.0 PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES

On October 22, 2013, soil samples were collected from four soil boring drilled inside the interior
of the building using a Geoprobe® drill rig. Borings ranged in depth from 8 feet to 12 feet below ground surface (bgs). Soil samples collected during the drilling process were screened in the
field for relative levels of volatile organic vapors using a flame ionization detector (FID) or Rae Systems MinRae 2000 Photo ionization detector (PID) and soil samples were collected at locations where FID or PID readings above ambient background concentrations were identified
or from the deepest point of the boring above rock. FID or PID readings above background were identified in borings GP-9 through GP-12. Petroleum odors were also observed in borings GP-9
through GP-12
Laboratory analysis of the soil samples detected arsenic above the Inactive Hazardous Sites
Branch’s Industrial Health-Based Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs) in two borings
located in the area of known soil contamination as shown on the Brownfields plat (attached) and in Exhibit C of the Brownfields Agreement (attached). A number of petroleum related
hydrocarbons were detected in the samples but at concentrations below the unrestricted use PSRGs where available. A number of compounds do not currently have PSRGs. It is ECS opinion the arsenic is naturally occurring.

3.0 OBJECTIVE OF THE SOIL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The objective of the soil management plan is to describe the procedures to be followed during
the disturbance (excavation and placement of fill) of impacted soil in the Area of Known Soil
Contamination. The reason for the soil disturbance is to install utilities and prepare the site for construction activities for planned redevelopment of the site. At the completion of
redevelopment activities, the site will include office, a hotel, ground floor retail, a courtyard,
multi-level parking deck, and potentially multi-family residential.
4.0 SCOPE OF WORK
1. Monitor soil as it is being excavated for organic odors and vapors.
2. Soils excavated will either be temporality stockpiled onsite and then removed or direct loaded and taken to Republic Landfill. 3. If the soil is placed in a stockpile, the soil will be placed on and covered with 10 millimeter
(mil) thick plastic sheeting, and secured with sandbags or other weights. A berm consisting of hay bales will be placed around the stockpile to prevent rain water exposure.
4. Submit Project Completion Report within 30 days of completing field activities.
5.0 SOIL MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
5.1 Site Preparation
The areas to be excavated in the Area of Known Soil Contamination are covered by asphalt or concrete. Prior to excavation, the asphalt or concrete will be removed taken offsite for disposal. Excavation areas will be monitored for visible dust and petroleum vapors, and will be sprayed
with water if dust is visible or if petroleum vapors are noticeable during excavation, or handling
of contaminated materials.
5.2 Soil Excavation

The excavation will be approximately 18 feet deep (or excavator refusal) by 60 feet long by 35 feet wide or approximately 1,000 yards of soil. The approximate area to be excavated is shown
on Figure 2 and Exhibit B. The excavation will extend horizontally to the extent of the Area of Known Soil Contamination. Excavation operations to be performed in the area will likely be performed using a trac hoe.
5.2.1 Soils Suitable for Use as Structural Fill

Soils to be excavated will not be reused onsite.
5.3 Waste Characterization

Following removal of the soil, confirmation soil samples will be collected from the excavation sidewalls using the trac hoe bucket. ECS personnel will collect the sample from the center of
the bucket making sure the soil has not touched the sides of the bucket. The sampler wearing a
new pair of disposables gloves for each sidewall sample will collect the sample and place it into

laboratory supplied bottles. Each sample will be analyzed for volatile and semi-volatile organic
compounds using EPA Methods 8260 and 8270, respectively and total RCRA metals by EPA Method 6020.
6.0 SOIL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
The contractor will provide transportation for the excavated soil. The soil will be transported to
the Republic Services Landfill in Concord, North Carolina. Each dump truck to be used has a capacity of approximately 10 to 12 cubic yards and is equipped with covers. The total quantity
of excavated soil is approximately 1,000 cubic yards or 1,500 tons. Truck drivers will carry a
signed non-hazardous waste manifest while en route to the disposal facility.
7.0 PERMIT AND NOTICES An excavation or grading permit from the City of Charlotte or Mecklenburg County may be
required and will be obtained prior to beginning the grading operations. In keeping with
municipal permitting guidelines, notices and construction permits will be posted at visible areas
of the site.
8.0 IMPLEMENTATION REPORT
At the completion of field activities, a Soil Management Summary report will be submitted to the
North Carolina Brownfields Group within 30 days. 9.0 SCHEDULE

The implementation of the approved Soil Management Plan will begin within a week after receiving approval from the Brownfields Group, and all other authorization necessary to legally
proceed with field activities. An anticipated schedule is listed below. The final schedule will be dependent on permit acquisition and weather. ECS will notify the Brownfields Group seven days prior to excavation activities.

• Anticipated required permits to begin soil excavation will be obtained by the grading
contractor (under way).
• While processing the necessary permits for soil excavation, site preparatory activities, such as mobilization of equipment will commence. The activities will require two to three days for completion.

• Removal of asphalt or concrete cement pavement, and off-site disposal by a competent
contractor will require one to two working days for completion.
• Soil excavation and backfill will require three to five working days for completion. Soil to backfill the excavation will come from the soil which cannot be returned to the utility trench to be excavated across the parking lot of the Goodyear property (approved by
Carolyn Minnich, Brownfields Project Manager) and clean fill from either the Martin

Marietta Quarry located at 4551 Beatties Ford Road or Vulcan Materials Quarry located
at 10256 Old Nations Ford Rd in Charlotte, North Carolina. The soil form the utility trench will be placed in the excavation and then capped with a minimum of two feet of
clean fill. The area will ultimately be capped with concrete or a similar impervious
surface associated with an outdoor plaza.
