(Waste Management), Golder Associates NC, Inc. (Golder) is submitting this summary of soil sampling results related to a leachate release that that was identified during an inspection by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) representatives on October 12, 2016, at Gastonia Transfer Station. The source of the release was loaded trailers that were leaking liquid onto the ground, which flowed across the parking lot into a grassy area. After the discovery, Waste Management revised facility practices to prevent future releases. As proposed in the Soil Sampling Plan, dated November 17, 2016, and approved by the NC DEQ on November 21, 2016, six soil samples were collected at the locations shown on the attached Soil Sampling Location Map (Figure 2). The locations of the samples were adjusted at the time of sampling from the Soil Sampling Plan due to field conditions. Two soil samples were collected outside the area of disturbance to provide background data (Background 1 and 2). Two samples were collected from the location where leaks were observed from the trailers (Trailer Area 1 and 2). A soil sample was also collected from the point of confluence in a drainage in the grassy area near the trailer parking area. An additional soil sample was collected further downgradient in the drainage feature, just before a drop inlet that directs water to the sediment pond. The samples were shipped to Environmental Conservation Laboratories (ENCO) of Cary, NC under chain-of-custody control. Soil samples were analyzed for the NC Appendix I list of constituents plus sulfate, nitrate, and total phosphorous. The analytical results are summarized in Table 1 and the laboratory report, which are included as attachments. Soil sample results were compared to the NC DEQ Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals Table’s Preliminary Residential Health-Based Remediation Goals (Residential Goals), Preliminary Industrial Health-Based Remediation Goals (Industrial Goals), and Protection of Groundwater Soil Remediation Goals (Protection of Groundwater Goals) as shown on Table 1. Arsenic was detected at quantifiable concentrations above the Residential Goal, the Industrial Goal, and the Protection of Groundwater Goal in Background 1, Trailer Area 1, Trailer Area 2, Confluence, and Downgradient samples. Arsenic was also detected at a quantifiable concentration above the Residential Goal and the Industrial Goal in the Background 2 sample. Cobalt was detected at quantifiable concentrations above the Residential Goal and the Protection of Groundwater Goal in Background 2, Trailer Area 1, Trailer Area 2, Confluence, and Downgradient samples. Cobalt was also detected at a quantifiable concentration above the Protection of Groundwater Goal in the Background 1 sample. Selenium was detected at quantifiable concentrations above the Protection of Groundwater Goal in Background 1, Trailer Area 2, Confluence, and Mr. Ervin Lane, Hydrogeologist December 21, 2016 NC DEQ DWM, Solid Waste Section 3 1667099.01 Attachments: Figure 1: Soil Sampling Location Map Figure 2: Proposed Excavation Plan Table 1: Summary of Detected Constituents in Soil Samples Table 2: USGS National Geochemical Survey Database Summary Laboratory Certificates-of-Analysis Laboratory Certificates-of-Analysis Review Form C: Shawn P.

DR Trip, field and/or equipment, and laboratory blank results have all been reported. All detects for blanks are listed below by constituent. All laboratory method blanks, if any, have been ‘flagged’ with a ‘B’ where detected in other samples as appropriate and a laboratory narrative was provided. If the sample was flagged by the laboratory and is not within 5X of the concentration in the blank (or 10X for commonly detected laboratory contaminants-acetone, methylene chloride and phthalates), list below with explanation if flags should be removed. If flags need to be added for samples, also list below. Methylene chloride detected in Method Blank at 0.003 mg/kg wet DR It is clear from the laboratory report that samples have or have not been diluted during analysis, and if the samples have been diluted, the result is reported as a multiple of the dilution (e.g., a sample diluted 10x resulting in an analytical detection of 1.0 should be reported as 10). Those that have been diluted are listed below with the dilution factor.

DR The results were reported at or below their proper reporting limits (i.e., MDLs with SWSLs reported). Those that are not reported correctly are listed below (by constituent) with the proper reporting limit listed beside them. State if the reporting limit error is due to dilutions. DR No organic constituents were reported above their respective SWSLs, and no inorganic or organic constituents were reported above their respective NC 2L Drinking Water Standards/GWPS in wells, or field/equipment/trip blanks, or above applicable surface water standards in surface water points.
