Washington Street, Suite 202 Greenville, SC 29601 Ref: Coal Ash Structural Fill Port Village Business Park Mooresville, NC 529 Main Street North Wilkesboro, NC 28659 (336) 838-2500 P-0205 Purpose The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of activities and identify potential environmental issues associated with coal ash structural fill installed at the site. Site Construction Activities Duke Power Company submitted a notification to NCDENR of its intent to install coal combustion by- products as structural fill at the site for use as a beneficial use. The CCR was generated at the Duke Energy Marshall power plant on NC Hwy 150 approximately 6 miles west of the site. A Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) laboratory analysis report was included which reported a sample of representative material to have metal concentrations below regulatory limits, including Mercury, Cadmium and Arsenic. The notification included an Acknowledgement and Consent from Port Village Association, listing B.V. Belk as Managing General Partner. NCDEHNR, now NCDENR, Solid Waste Management Division, Solid Waste Section Chief, Dexter R. Mathews approved the installation of coal ash structural fill at the site on April 10, 1996. On March 31, 1997 Duke Power Company reported to NCDENR that it was the constructor of the coal ash fill project at Port Village Business Park which started in January 1997, scheduled for completion in August 1997. On September 26, 1997 Duke Power Company informed Mr. Tom Scott of Belk Investments, Inc. that the project would be completed October 3, 1997 and under the terms of their agreement it was the responsibility of the owner to comply with NCDEHNR Solid Waste Management Rules including deed recordation and certification of closure by a professional engineer. Duke Power Company reported that 357,728 tons of ash was placed at the site including 325,662 tons of silo ash and 32,066 tons of pond ash. On November 4, 1997 Ground Technology, Inc. provided a fill compaction report to Duke Power Company which reported that all test results met or exceeded 95% of the standard Proctor. A Lowe's home improvement warehouse retail store was constructed at the site in 1998. BRE performed subsurface investigation within the project limits in October 2011. Coal ash was encountered within all of the borings to depths ranging from approximately 12 to 47 feet below the ground surface. Results of the investigation are included in a Geotechnical Report and Engineering Analysis of Subsurface Exploration dated November 30, 2011. Page 2 of 4 December 15, 2011 Evaluation by Others A Phase I ESA report was issued by Ground Engineering Solution, Inc. on May 10, 2000. The report did not reveal any recognized environmental condition of the subject property. On December 18, 2001 Ground Engineering Solutions, Inc. provided results of a TCLP analysis performed on a sample of the ash fill taken November 6, 2001. The report states the "test results did not indicate that any volatiles, semi-volatiles, pesticides, herbicides, or metals leached from the ash waste in the TCLP test. The test indicates that the ash waste can be classified as non -hazardous." On December 19, 2001 Ground Engineering Solutions, Inc. issued a report of Technical Review of Coal Ash Structural Fill. This report indicates that the ash fill may not meet some requirements of NCDEHNR regulations including: possible inadequate separation from the groundwater table; inadequate cover soil; no record of closure certification; and no deed recordation. North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) File On December 23, 2009 an audit was performed by Mr. Charles T. Gerstell, NCDENR, Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Management Section, Environmental Senior Specialist. A Notice of Violation(s) was issued to Lowes Home Centers, Inc. which requested that Lowes submit a closure certification signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer and that Lowes file a statement of the volume and location of coal combustion by-products with the Register of Deeds. On September 23, 2010 Lowe's Home Centers, Inc. recorded a notification of structural fill facilities in Deed Book 2082, Page 2170 in the Iredell County Registry which states the volume of ash placed on the property is approximately 397,728 tons. BRE contacted Mr. Gerstell and requested an update on the status of the file. Mr. Gerstell reported it was his understanding that the corporation that owned the property at the time the coal ash was placed on site had been dissolved and that NCDENR may or may not require additional action since no closure certification has been received. A formal response from NCDENR was not available at the time of this report. Use of the property is subject to the conditions identified under NCAC Title 15A, Subchapter 13B, Section .1700 "Requirements for Beneficial Use of Coal Combustion By -Products". United State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) On June 21, 2010 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued notice in the Federal Register, Vol. 75, No. 118 (40 CFR Parts 257, 261, 264 et al.) that EPA was reevaluating its August 1993 and May 2000 Regulatory Determinations regarding Coal Combustion Residuals (CCRs) generated at electric utilities. In the May 2000 determination, EPA concluded that disposal of CCRs did not warrant regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) subtitle C as a hazardous waste, but did warrant federal regulation as a solid waste under subtitle D of RCRA. However, EPA never issued federal regulations under subtitle D of RCRA for CCRs. Since 2000, EPA has evaluated 67 cases of alleged damage from mismanagement of disposal of CCRs. EPA identified 40 cases as having potential damage to groundwater or surface water. EPA concluded it has documented evidence of proven damage to groundwater or surface water in 27 cases. EPA states that CCRs contain contaminants like Mercury, Cadmium and Arsenic that, without proper protections, can leach into groundwater. EPA is proposing national rules concerning management of disposal of coal ash. The fill at the subject property may be considered a permitted "structural fill facility". However, NCDENR and/or EPA could consider the fill at the subject property a non -compliant structural fill facility or an "unencapsulated solid waste landfill" or an Page 3 of 4 December 15, 2011 "unencapsulated hazardous waste landfill" subject to regulation under RCRA or NCDENR rules. Proposed EPA rules require liners, groundwater monitoring, and corrective action if there is any contamination detected. Summary of Findings ❖ No closure certification has been issued by a registered professional engineer for the coal ash fill project. It is unclear whether NCDENR currently considers this site to be in violation of NCAC Title 15A, Subchapter 13B, Section .1700. NCDENR has not "closed out" its file for this project and may require additional action. ❖ EPA reports that CCRs contain contaminants and the agency has documented evidence of proven damage to groundwater or surface water from 27 cases nationwide. EPA has proposed rules, which are currently pending, which would require liners, groundwater monitoring, and corrective action if any contamination detected. ❖ Test results provided by others for the coal ash at this particular site reported TCLP concentrations below regulatory limits. ❖ No groundwater samples have been obtained at the site to confirm the presence or absence of contaminants in the groundwater. Recommendations 1. Request a closure certification be provided by the "constructor or operator" as required by NCAC Title 15A, Subchapter 13B, Section .1706. 2. Request a letter from NCDENR stating there is "No Further Action" required concerning possible violations of NCAC Title 15A, Subchapter 13B, Section .1700. 3. Submit to NCDENR a Brownfields application, as a prospective developer under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act, demonstrating the property is underutilized due to possible or perceived environmental contamination with potential of environmental cleanup liability. 4. Perform TCLP testing of coal ash samples taken from the site. 5. Install groundwater monitoring wells at the site and analyze groundwater samples to confirm the presence or absence of groundwater contamination. 6. Monitor the EPA rule adoption process.

(GTI) has performed part- time construction quality control services for the referenced project. These services consisted of Standard Proctor compaction and field density testing at the referenced site for the period December 31, 1996 thru September 2, 1997. Previous fill control had been performed at the referenced site under contract with B.V. Belk Development. We understand that grade revisions required the addition of structural fill and relocation of existing storm drainage. Tests performed on this phase of structural fill had been reported to B.V. Belk Development. Prior to the placement of fly ash structural fill the referenced site was stripped of the grass cover and surficial soils and these materials stockpiled for later use as a soil cap. On a part-time basis a total of one hundred thirty-two (132) field density tests were performed during placement of the fly ash and nineteen (19) field density tests were performed during installation of the soil cap. All tests utilized the Shelby Tube Method (ASTM D-2937). All tests or retests indicated densities either meeting or exceeding the project compaction criteria of 950 of Standard Proctor Moisture Density Relationship (ASTM D-698) at the depths and locations indicated on the attachments. All tests were limited to the areas indicated. P.O. Box 1077 ® Denver, NC 28037 ® 704-483-4812 GTI appreciates the opportunity to provide these services to you.

PO Box 25909 Greenville, SC 29616 Subject: Testing of Ash Fill Proposed Retail Development Rolling Hills Road Mooresville, North Carolina GES File No. CHI 084.11 Dear Mr. Misiaveg: Attached, please find the results of the TCLP test made on a sample of ash/slag taken from the above referenced project site. The sample was obtained on November 6, 2001. The area was discovered because it was noticed that no vegetation was growing on the area. The area is about 120 feet east of the Lowe's side parking lot and was 144 feet wide (east to west) and about 250 feet long. The attached test results did not indicate that any volatiles, semi-volatiles, pesticides, herbicides or metals leached from the ash waste in the TCLP test. This test indicates that the ash waste can be classified as non -hazardous. If you have any questions concerning this letter or if we may be of further assistance, please contact our office at 864-292-2901. Sincerely, GROUND ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS, INC. �-- , Arc ames G.

Reviewed the file for Port Village Business Park Coal Ash Structural Fill at the NC Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR), Solid Waste Division. 2. Met with Mr. Larry Harper of Duke Energy to obtain pertinent records (density tests, stormwater permit, Duke Power Performance Standards). 3. Made a visual site inspection of the subject site. 4. Performed nine (9) soil test borings and prepared a Preliminary Geotechnical Report, dated December 12, 2001. 5. Interviewed the following individuals by telephone: • Mr. Carleton Burton, P.E. — President, Burton Engineering Association and designer of Ash Fill Plan. • Mr. Gary L. Gechter, P.G. — Ground Technology, company that performed density testing. Based on this review, it is our opinion that the ash fill may not meet some requirements of NCDEHNR regulations Section .1700 — Requirements for Beneficial Use of Coal Combustion By -Products (see attached regulation). A. The topography shown on the engineering plans by Burton, indicate a valley bottom elevation of 814.6 feet. The existing retention pond has a riser pipe elevation that appears to be 817. It is likely that this elevation would raise groundwater to at least elevation 817. If ash were put in at 814.6, the ash would likely be below the groundwater table, which would be a violation of Regulation .1704 (a) (3). B. The borings and visual observations indicate that some areas have no cover soil over the ash. This would be a violation of Regulation .1704 (il. Technical Review of Coal Ash Structural Fill Proposed Retail Development Mooresville, NC December 19, 2001 Page 2 of 2 C. We found no record of closure certification by a P.E. Mr. Burton, the engineer of record, indicated by phone on December 17, 2001, that he did not prepare the closure certification because he was not retained to make site observations during filling. No Closure Certification was found in NCDEHNR Solid Waste Division file. Larry Harper of Duke Energy did not have a Closure Certification. This would be a violation of Regulation .1706 (d). D. According to your attorney, Mr. Marion Goodyear, there is no deed recordation that the property contained coal combustion by-products. This would be a violation of Regulation .1707 (a) (b) (c) (d). The Duke Energy file did contain an exhibit to the contract between Duke and B.V. Belk that B.V. Belk agreed to record the ash notification statement on the deed. E. We found no report concerning the proper removal of the 66-inch diameter CMP that was indicated on the site per the Burton plan. If this pipe were still in -place, it would pose a problem for collapse and settlement. F. We found no description of the construction of the proposed storm drainage pipe shown on the Burton plan. There is no report with regards to the as -built condition of the proposed storm drainage pipe. G. We found no record of proofrolling or inspecting the subgrade strength and valley bottom before filling with ash. If soft compressible deposits were left in -place, they could lead to long term settlement due to the weight of the ash fill. It may well be that satisfactory data exists to resolve the above issues. It is our recommendation that these issues be resolved before Carolina Holdings purchases this property. This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical and environmental engineering standards and practices for the specific application to this project. The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report were based on the applicable standards of our profession at the time this report was prepared.
