Property Owner: Metrolina Warehouse, LLC
Recorded in Book_________, Page __________ Associated plat recorded in Plat Book _________, Page _________ NOTICE OF BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY Brownfields Property Name: Davidson Depot II Brownfields Project Number: 25019-21-060
This documentary component of a Notice of Brownfields Property (“Notice”), as well as the plat component, have been filed this _____ day of __________________, 202__ by Linden Mills, LLC (“Prospective Developer”). This Notice concerns contaminated property.
A copy of this Notice certified by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) is required to be filed in the Register of Deeds’ Office in the county or counties in which the land is located, pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes (“NCGS”), § 130A-310.35(b).
This Notice is required by NCGS § 130A-310.35(a), in order to reduce or eliminate the danger to public health or the environment posed by environmental contamination at a property (“Brownfields Property”) being addressed under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997, NCGS § 130A, Article 9, Part 5 (“Act”).
Pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35(b), the Prospective Developer must file a certified copy of this Notice within 15 days of Prospective Developer’s receipt of DEQ’s approval of the Notice or Prospective Developer’s entry into the Brownfields Agreement required by the Act, whichever is later. The copy of the Notice certified by DEQ must be recorded in the
grantor index under the names of the owners of the land and, if Prospective Developer is not the owner, also under the Prospective Developer’s name. The Brownfields Property is located at 301 Depot Street in the Town of Davidson,
consisting of approximately 4.548 acres. Previous tenants include Linden Manufacturing, Davidson Cotton Mill, and Carolina Asbestos Company. The site was first developed in 1890 as a cotton mill warehouse and was utilized for warehousing, commercial, and retail through present
25019-21-060/Davidson Depot II.202100903

day. From the 1930s until around the 1960s, Carolina Asbestos Company manufactured asbestos
containing materials (ACMs) at this location. Asbestos containing waste was disposed on the Brownfields Property, including a former holding pond located in the western portion of the site. The Brownfields Property is listed on the Inactive Hazardous Sites and Pollutant List under the name Carolina Asbestos Corp and assigned incident number NONCD0003035. From 1960 to
1976, the Brownfields Property was used by another company; the name and operations of which
are not known at this time. The Prospective Developer intends to redevelop the Brownfields Property for no uses other than retail, office, brewery or food production facility, restaurant, parking, industrial, hotel, warehousing, open space, and subject to DEQ’s prior written approval, other commercial uses.
The main contaminant of concern on the Brownfields Property is asbestos fibers in the soil.
Extensive sampling has been completed to determine the vertical and horizontal extent of impacted soil. The long term goal is permanent encapsulation of the ACMs on the Brownfields Property. An Asbestos Design Plan (ADP) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) are required to be approved by DEQ prior to redevelopment activities.
The Brownfields Agreement between Prospective Developer and DEQ is attached hereto as Exhibit A. It is required by NCGS § 130A-310.32 and sets forth the use that may be made of the Brownfields Property and the measures to be taken to protect public health and the environment. The Brownfields Agreement’s Exhibit 2 consists of one or more data tables reflecting the concentrations of and other information regarding the Brownfields Property’s regulated substances and contaminants. Attached as Exhibit B to this Notice is a reduction, to 8.5 inches x 11 inches, of the survey plat component of this Notice. This plat shows areas designated by DEQ, has been prepared and
certified by a professional land surveyor, meets the requirements of NCGS § 47-30, and complies
with NCGS § 130A-310.35(a)’s requirement that the Notice identify: (1) The location and dimensions of the areas of potential environmental concern with respect to permanently surveyed benchmarks.
(2) The type, location and quantity of regulated substances and contaminants known to
exist on the Brownfields Property. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a legal description of the Brownfields Property that would be sufficient as a description of the property in an instrument of conveyance.
LAND USE RESTRICTIONS NCGS § 130A-310.35(a) also requires that the Notice identify any restrictions on the current and future use of the Brownfields Property that are necessary or useful to maintain the
level of protection appropriate for the designated current or future use of the Brownfields Property
and that are designated in the Brownfields Agreement. The restrictions shall remain in force in perpetuity unless canceled by the Secretary of DEQ (or its successor in function), or his/her designee, after the hazards have been eliminated, pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35(e). All references to DEQ shall be understood to include any successor in function.

BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY INFORMATION SUMMARY
Public Benefits of Reuse Permanent capping solution to asbestos impacted areas Job Creation Increased tax base
Existing Land Use Restrictions Prior to Brownfields Agreement None
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUMMARY
Historical Operations & Contaminant Sources
First developed in 1890 as a warehouse for a cotton mill.
Additions were constructed in 1940s and 1950s resulting in the current footprint of the warehouse and building located on the eastern portion of the Brownfields Property. The building is one story and comprises approximately 42,700 square feet.
The warehouse on the western portion of the Brownfields
Property was developed in 1976 and comprises approximately 10,800 square feet. Concrete-paved and gravel lined parking areas are located between the two structures.
Previous tenants include Linden Manufacturing, Davidson
Cotton Mill, and Carolina Asbestos Company. From the 1930s until around the 1960s, Carolina Asbestos Company was a manufacturer of asbestos containing materials (ACMs). From 1960 to 1976, the Brownfields Property was used by
another company; the name and operations of which are not
known at this time. Asbestos containing waste was disposed on the Brownfields property, including a former holding pond located in the western portion of the site.
Through the years the disposal area soil cap eroded, due to
erosion and daily use, as result friable asbestos was observed at ground surface in mid-1980s. An investigation was conducted after a nearby resident filed a complaint with the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Health
(“Meck County”) on February 3, 1984. In late 1984, the
holding pond disposal area was closed by placement of compacted layers of soil, vegetative ground cover and/or asphalt parking and the area was secured. Consequently, Meck County concluded that the site was in compliance with
mandated requirements.
In September 2016, the DEQ Superfund Program submitted a request to the EPA Superfund Emergency Response,

Davidson Depot/25019-21-060/20210903
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUMMARY Removal, Prevention, and Preparedness Branch (ERRPPB) to conduct a Removal Site Evaluation (RSE) in areas surrounding the Brownfields Property.
From November 2016 through April 2017, EPA investigated potential ACMs in the residential areas surrounding the site. In May 2017, EPA began off-site ACM removal operations. The DEQ Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) assigned
incident number NCNOOO405052 under the name Davidson
Asbestos for the project. In January 2017, the Brownfields Property owner (Metrolina Warehouse, LLC) retained S&ME to conduct repair
operations in the former holding pond disposal area. Repair
activities included sealing animal burrow holes, removing and replacing vegetation, and installation of erosion control matting. At this time Metrolina Warehouse, LLC is responsible for inspecting and maintaining the cap under the
oversight of DEQ IHSB until the property is redeveloped or
sold to a new owner. Currently, this property is listed on the Inactive Hazardous Sites and Pollutant List under the name Carolina Asbestos Corp and incident number NONCD0003035.
In response to community concerns at the January 2020 virtual public meeting, DEQ and EPA ERRPPB expanded the asbestos-soil sampling area in the surrounding neighborhood of the Brownfields Property. Removal activities were
conducted from April through early June 2021.
Current Operations/Activities Retail and warehousing
Contaminated Media
Soil on the Brownfields Property is impacted with ACM. Groundwater impacts include: methyl ethyl ketone (2-
butanone) detected in a sample collected from temporary
monitoring well GW-03 and metals detected in samples collected from temporary monitoring wells GW-01 through GW-03 above applicable screening levels for arsenic, barium, chromium, lead, and selenium.
Soil vapor samples were collected in August 2016. No constituents were detected above the non-residential screening levels.

IX. DUE CARE/COOPERATION
20. The Prospective Developer shall exercise due care at the Brownfields Property with
respect to the manner in which regulated substances are handled at the Brownfields Property and
shall comply with all applicable local, State, and federal laws and regulations. The Prospective
Developer agrees to cooperate fully with any assessment or remediation of the Brownfields
Property by DEQ and further agrees not to interfere with any such assessment or remediation. In
the event the Prospective Developer becomes aware of any action or occurrence which causes or
threatens a release of contaminants at or from the Brownfields Property, the Prospective
Developer shall immediately take all appropriate action to prevent, abate, or minimize such
release or threat of release, shall comply with any applicable notification requirements under
NCGS § 130A-310.1 and 143-215.85, Section 103 of CERCLA, 42 USC § 9603, and/or any
other law, and shall immediately notify the DEQ Official referenced in subparagraph 32.a. below
of any such required notification.
X. CERTIFICATION
21. By entering into this Agreement, the Prospective Developer certifies that, without
DEQ approval, it will make no use of the Brownfields Property other than that committed to in
the Brownfields Property Application dated February 25, 2021 by which it applied for this
Agreement or as modified herein. That use is that which is provided in paragraph 15.a. of this
Agreement. Prospective Developer also certifies that to the best of its knowledge and belief it
has fully and accurately disclosed to DEQ all information known to Prospective Developer and
all information in the possession or control of its officers, directors, employees, contractors and
agents which relates in any way to any past use of regulated substances or known contaminants
26
Davidson Depot/25019-21-060/20210903
at the Brownfields Property and to its qualification for this Agreement, including the requirement
that it not have caused or contributed to the contamination at the Brownfields Property.
XI. DEQ’S COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
22. Unless any of the following apply, Prospective Developer shall not be liable to DEQ,
and DEQ covenants not to sue Prospective Developer, for remediation of the Brownfields
Property except as specified in this Agreement:
a. The Prospective Developer fails to comply with this Agreement.
b. The activities conducted on the Brownfields Property by or under the control
or direction of the Prospective Developer increase the risk of harm to public health or the
environment, in which case Prospective Developer shall be liable for remediation of the areas of
the Brownfields Property, remediation of which is required by this Agreement, to the extent
necessary to eliminate such risk of harm to public health or the environment.
c. A land use restriction set out in the Notice of Brownfields Property required
under NCGS § 130A-310.35 is violated while the Prospective Developer owns the Brownfields
Property, in which case the Prospective Developer shall be responsible for remediation of the
Brownfields Property to unrestricted use standards.
d. The Prospective Developer knowingly or recklessly provided false information
that formed a basis for this Agreement or knowingly or recklessly offers false information to
demonstrate compliance with this Agreement or fails to disclose relevant information about
contamination at the Brownfields Property.
e. New information indicates the existence of previously unreported
contaminants or an area of previously unreported contamination on or associated with the
27
Davidson Depot/25019-21-060/20210903
Brownfields Property that has not been remediated to unrestricted use standards, unless this
Agreement is amended to include any previously unreported contaminants and any additional
areas of contamination. If this Agreement sets maximum concentrations for contaminants, and
new information indicates the existence of previously unreported areas of these contaminants,
further remediation shall be required only if the areas of previously unreported contaminants
raise the risk of the contamination to public health or the environment to a level less protective of
public health and the environment than that required by this Agreement.
f. The level of risk to public health or the environment from contaminants is
unacceptable at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property due to changes in exposure
conditions, including (i) a change in land use that increases the probability of exposure to
contaminants at or in the vicinity of the Brownfields Property or (ii) the failure of remediation to
mitigate risks to the extent required to make the Brownfields Property fully protective of public
health and the environment as planned in this Agreement.
g. DEQ obtains new information about a contaminant associated with the
Brownfields Property or exposures at or around the Brownfields Property that raises the risk to
public health or the environment associated with the Brownfields Property beyond an acceptable
range and in a manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement.
h. The Prospective Developer fails to file a timely and proper Notice of
Brownfields Property under NCGS § 130A-310.35.
23. Except as may be provided herein, DEQ reserves its rights against Prospective
Developer as to liabilities beyond the scope of the Act.
24. This Agreement does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain a permit,
28
Davidson Depot/25019-21-060/20210903
license or certification, or to comply with any and all other applicable law, including the North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act, NCGS § 113A-1, et seq.
25. Consistent with NCGS § 130A-310.33, the liability protections provided herein, and
any statutory limitations in paragraphs 22 through 24 above, apply to all of the persons listed in
NCGS § 130A-310.33, including future owners of the Brownfields Property, to the same extent
as Prospective Developer, so long as these persons are not otherwise potentially responsible
parties or parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates of potentially responsible parties.
XII. PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPER'S COVENANT NOT TO SUE
26. In consideration of DEQ’s Covenant Not To Sue in Section XI of this Agreement
and in recognition of the absolute State immunity provided in NCGS § 130A-310.37(b), the
Prospective Developer hereby covenants not to sue and not to assert any claims or causes of
action against DEQ, its authorized officers, employees, or representatives with respect to any
action implementing the Act, including negotiating, entering, monitoring or enforcing this
Agreement or the above-referenced Notice of Brownfields Property.
XIII. PARTIES BOUND
27. This Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon DEQ, and on the Prospective
Developer, its officers, directors, employees, and agents. Each Party’s signatory to this
Agreement represents that she or he is fully authorized to enter into the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and to legally bind the Party for whom she or he signs.
XIV. DISCLAIMER
28. Prospective Developer and DEQ agree that this Agreement meets the requirements of
the Act, including but not limited to the requirements set forth in NCGS § 130A-310.32(a)(2).

Davidson Depot/25019-21-060/20210903
However, this Agreement in no way constitutes a finding by DEQ as to the risks to public health
and the environment which may be posed by regulated substances at the Brownfields Property, a
representation by DEQ that the Brownfields Property is fit for any particular purpose, nor a
waiver of Prospective Developer’s duty to seek applicable permits or of the provisions of NCGS
§ 130A-310.37.
29. Except for the land use restrictions set forth in paragraph 15 above and NCGS §
130A-310.33(a)(1)-(5)'s provision of the Act's liability protection to certain persons to the same
extent as to a prospective developer, no rights, benefits or obligations conferred or imposed upon
Prospective Developer under this Agreement are conferred or imposed upon any other person.
XV. DOCUMENT RETENTION
30. The Prospective Developer agrees to retain and make available to DEQ all business
and operating records, contracts, site studies and investigations, remediation reports, and
documents generated by and/or in the control of the Prospective Developer, its affiliates or
subsidiaries relating to storage, generation, use, disposal and management of regulated
substances at the Brownfields Property, including without limitation all Material Safety Data
Sheets or Safety Data Sheets, for six (6) years following the effective date of this Agreement,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. Said records may be retained electronically
such that they can be retrieved and submitted to DEQ upon request. At the end of six (6) years,
the Prospective Developer shall notify DEQ of the location of such documents and shall provide
DEQ with an opportunity to copy any documents at the expense of DEQ. By entering into this
Agreement, Prospective Developer waives no rights of confidentiality or privilege provided by
the North Carolina Public Records Act or otherwise and, at the time DEQ requests to copy or
30
Davidson Depot/25019-21-060/20210903
inspect said documents, Prospective Developer shall provide DEQ with a log of documents
withheld from DEQ, including a specific description of the document(s) and the alleged legal
basis upon which they are being withheld. To the extent DEQ retains any copies of such
documents, Prospective Developer retains all rights it then may have to seek protection from
disclosure of such documents as confidential business information.
XVI. PAYMENT OF ENFORCEMENT COSTS
31. If the Prospective Developer fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section VI (Work to be Performed) and Section
VII (Land Use Restrictions), it shall be liable for all litigation and other enforcement costs
incurred by DEQ to enforce this Agreement or otherwise obtain compliance.
XVII. NOTICES AND SUBMISSIONS
32. Unless otherwise required by DEQ or a Party notifies the other Party in writing of a
change in contact information or delivery method, all notices and submissions pursuant to this

in question shall continue in force unless and until the Party requesting such termination receives
