Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Plan Compliance
Review Thomasville Plant H III
1201 North Patterson Avenue Winston-Salem, Forsyth County
Brownfields Project No. 25041-21-043

Dear Mr. Watterson:

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Brownfields Program (DEQ Brownfields) received and reviewed the NCDEQ Brownfields – Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System Design Resubmittal, New Brunson Elementary School (VIMP), dated May 16, 2024, and DEQ Brownfields has found this VIMP to be in compliance with the DEQ Brownfields Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System (VIMS) Design Submittal Requirements dated March 2022.

Consistent with standard brownfields vapor intrusion provisions which are included in the brownfields agreement for this project, an essential component of public health protection for this design is the professional engineer’s seal of these documents that the proposed design will be effective at mitigating the potential for vapor intrusion at the property and protecting public health. Furthermore, the safe occupancy of the building will be evaluated upon system effectiveness, sub-slab soil gas sampling, and indoor air sampling as required by Sections 4 of the VIMP. In addition, DEQ Brownfields reserves the authority to require confirmation of efficacy in the future.

Please be advised that this design compliance review from DEQ Brownfields does not waive any applicable requirement to obtain any necessary permits, licenses or certifications which may be required from other state or local entities.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 919-609-2334, or via e-mail at kelly.johnson@deq.nc.gov.

Sincerely,

Kelly Johnson, PG
