Brownfields. Industrial/commercial facilities with PCB soil contamination due to historical use or from materials/equipment containing PCBs stored on-site (facility may have a general industrial stormwater permit or be unregulated). Illegal dumpsites with materials/equipment containing PCBs. Construction sites with PCB soil contamination due to historical use or from existing materials containing PCBs. Demolition or remodeling of buildings during construction may also be a source of PCBs to stormwater. Regulated stormwater: Phase I/II Municipal Separate Stormwater (MS4) Permits (County/Municipality) Phase II Federal & State Facility Permits Phase I State Highway Administration (SHA) Permits General Industrial Stormwater Permits, General Permit for Construction Activity PCB Monitoring - Limited PCB monitoring data from NPDES regulated stormwater dischargers. Currently Maryland requires no PCB monitoring for Phase I/II MS4s, State and Federal facilities, SHA, industrial stormwater, or construction activity and permittees have not voluntarily conducted monitoring (Other jurisdictions?). Facilities are opposed to using high resolution congener based methods that have not been approved by EPA. TMDL programs conduct PCB monitoring to estimate loads from NPDES regulated stormwater dischargers (Phase I MS4s). TMDLs do not characterize loadings from regulated industrial stormwater/State and Federal facilities with the potential to discharge PCBs due to historical use or operation/storage of PCB containing equipment/materials. TMDL programs have limited resources to monitor stormwater. Limited PCB monitoring data for atmospheric deposition. Sormwater Regulatory Gaps No regulation of operational transformers containing PCBs (PCB free – less than 50 ppm) which have the potential to discharge PCBs during failure which may be a source of PCBs in NPDES regulated and unregulated stormwater. No regulatory requirement for PCB effluent concentrations in regulated stormwater discharges to meet human health criterion (Non-numeric WQBEL/PMPs) unless a TMDL is established assigning a reduction. Contaminated sites are regulated to ensure protection of human health through direct exposure and do not consider potential impacts through fish consumption. Responsible parties for contaminated sites are not required to determine whether stormwater PCB concentrations are in violation of human health water quality criteria. Ecological Risk Assessments for contaminated sites evaluate toxicity to aquati...

Brownfields. 13.1 In May 2019, to expedite and facilitate redevelopment of the Property, the City, as the “Prospective Developer” as that term is used under applicable law, applied with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) for the Property to be deemed eligible for the North Carolina Brownfields Program. In August 2019, the Brownfields Program branch at DEQ issued a letter indicating the Property is eligible for the North Carolina Brownfields Program, with the City as the Prospective Developer. Since then, the City has begun negotiating a Brownfields Program Agreement with DEQ and conducted additional environmental investigations at the Property as required by the Brownfields Program branch at DEQ. The City has also paid to DEQ the initial $2,000 fee for enrollment of the Property into the Brownfields Program. 13.2 While Purchaser could submit its own eligibility determination as a Prospective Developer for the Brownfields Program to DEQ for the Property, the parties have determined it would be most expedient for the City to: (i) remain the Prospective Developer and complete the requirements necessary through execution of a BPA, with coordination and approval from Purchaser as to all provisions of the BPA (including specifically but without limitation any provisions relating to land use restrictions or ongoing assessment or remediation requirements), and then (ii) promptly assign its rights and obligations under the BPA to Purchaser, pursuant to the remaining provisions of this Section. 13.3 As the Prospective Developer, the City shall in good faith continue negotiating a BPA, preparation of the necessary plat and notice, and meeting any additional requirements of the Brownfields Program branch of DEQ, all subject to (i) availability of funds from, and any limitations with respect to, the City’s EPA Brownfields Program grant and (ii) coordination and prior written approval from Purchaser as to all provisions of the BPA (including specifically but without limitation any provisions relating to land use restrictions or ongoing assessment or remediation requirements) and related matters, all in Purchaser’s sole discretion. The City will apprise the Brownfields Program branch at DEQ of the pending sale of the Property, and the intention for the City to assign its rights and obligations under a BPA to Purchaser. The City will also keep Purchaser regularly and fully apprised of negotiations over the BPA, providing Purchaser with each draft of such an...
