April 25, 2017 Shing Ledgerwood 256421 Highway 101 Port Angeles, Washington 98368 Report Environmental Sampling R Corner Grocery 256421 Highway 101 Port Angeles, Washington Project No. 671-001-05 INTRODUCTION Insight Geologic, Inc. is pleased to provide our report of environmental sampling services performed at the R Corner Grocery store, located at 256421 Highway 101 in unincorporated Clallam County, Washington. The property comprises approximately 1.41 acres with a building used as a gas station and convenience store located on a single parcel. The property is shown relative to surrounding physical features on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1. A release of unleaded gasoline from the underground storage tanks was discovered in about 1993, during tank removal and replacement activities. A portion of the contaminated soil was remediated by excavation and removal to an approved landfill. Residual gasoline-impacted soils were left beneath the western portion of the building, where continued excavation would compromise the structural integrity of the building. Three groundwater monitoring wells, installed at the site as a part of remedial activities, also indicated residual gasoline concentrations greater than the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A cleanup levels. At the request of Ecology, in October 2014, Insight Geologic conducted soil sampling activities from below the west side of the building in areas previously identified as containing residual impacts and submitted the samples for the analysis of gasoline-range hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX), and lead. Laboratory results indicated that these parameters were either not detected or detected at levels less than the applicable MTCA Method A cleanup levels for unrestricted land use. The results of our soil sampling activities are contained in our report dated October 29, 2014. Groundwater samples were collected from the groundwater monitoring well network (MW-1, MW-2 and MW-3) in June and November 2014, February, April and July 2015. Gasoline-range hydrocarbons, BTEX and lead concentrations were less than the MTCA Method A cleanup levels in all wells in all of our sampling events with one exception for lead. Soil samples collected from below

the west edge of the building for gasoline-range hydrocarbons, BTEX and lead are less than their respective MTCA Method A cleanup levels for unrestricted land use. On November 17, 2015, R Corner Grocery entered into the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) in an effort to obtain a No Further Action (NFA) determination from the Department of Ecology. Following review of the VCP application and presented data, the Department of Ecology has requested further groundwater sampling across the north side of the building to evaluate residual concentrations, if any, of gasoline-range hydrocarbons, BTEX and lead. SCOPE OF SERVICES The purpose of our services was to evaluate the possible presence of petroleum contamination remaining in groundwater at R Corner Grocery, specifically in the area hydraulically downgradient from the underground storage tanks between monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-2. Our specific scope of services included the following tasks:

1. Provide for the location of subsurface utilities in the investigation area. Boring locations were manually cleared to a depth of 3 feet below ground surface (bgs) using hand tools to evaluate for utility obstructions prior to drilling.

2. Drill five (5) exploratory borings across the north side of the building using a truck-mounted probe rig. The borings were drilled to depths of between 12 and 15 feet bgs, which was approximately 2 feet into the groundwater table, with soil samples collected continuously during drilling.

3. Sample groundwater from the five (5) exploratory borings and provided for the analyses of five (5) groundwater and two (2) soil samples for the presence of gasoline-range hydrocarbons using Ecology Method NWTPH-Gx, BTEX (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylenes) using EPA Method 8260 and total lead.

4. Evaluate the analytical results with respect to the Washington State Department of Ecology MTCA Method A cleanup levels.

5. Evaluate the potential for vapor intrusion into the building using the Draft 2016 Guidance for Evaluating Soil Vapor Intrusion in Washington State.

6. Prepare a Terrestrial Ecologic Evaluation (TEE) Report for the property.

7. Prepare a letter report for submittal to the Department of Ecology containing a summary of the laboratory results, the results of our evaluation in regards to MTCA Method A cleanup levels, and Vapor Intrusion Guidance, and a map showing the location of the borings. In addition, our report includes a simplified terrestrial ecological evaluation of the site.

FINDINGS General

We completed five borings on the subject site using a truck-mounted GeoProbe drilling rig on the north side of the building, between the areas of MW-1 and MW-2. Soil samples were collected continuously from the five borings to depths of between 12 and 15 feet bgs. The locations of the borings are shown in the Site Plan, Figure 2.

Representative samples were collected into laboratory supplied sampling containers in general accordance with EPA sampling protocol. Following collection, the samples were sealed, labeled and placed into an ice chest containing blue ice for transport to the analytical laboratory. Chain of custody forms were completed in the field and accompanied the samples to the laboratory. Borings were then abandoned by removing all sampling tools and backfilled with bentonite as required by Ecology. Soil

The borings encountered fine to coarse sand and gravel outwash deposits consistent with soils encountered during previous activities at the site. Our boring logs for each of the borings are included in Attachment A. Groundwater

Groundwater was encountered in each of the borings at depths ranging between 10 feet bgs in boring B-2 and 12.9 feet bgs in boring B-1. Laboratory Results

Five groundwater samples and two soil samples were submitted to the Libby Environmental laboratory in Olympia, Washington for the analysis of gasoline-range hydrocarbons using Ecology Method NWTPH-Gx, BTEX (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylenes) using EPA Method 8260 and total lead. The laboratory reported that gasoline-range hydrocarbons and BETX were not detected within the soil and groundwater samples. Lead either was not detected or were detected at concentrations less than the respective MTCA Method A cleanup levels for soil and groundwater. A summary of the laboratory analyses is contained in Table 1 and Table 2. A copy of the laboratory report is included in Attachment B. SOIL VAPOR INTRUSION An evaluation was conducted to evaluate for soil vapor intrusion at the site. The evaluation was conducted in general accordance with the Washington State Department of Ecology 2016 Draft version “Guidance for Evaluating Soil Vapor Intrusion in Washington State: Investigation and Remedial Action.”

Following the above guidance, a Tier 1 Assessment was completed. Based on the results of our assessment, we have concluded that gasoline-range petroleum hydrocarbons and BTEX were not present at the site in soil and groundwater at concentrations greater than the generic screening levels, and that the screening levels are conservative based on known site characteristics, therefore no further evaluation is required.

TERRESTIAL ECOLOGIC EVALUATION

As part of this report, a simplified Terrestrial Ecological Evaluation (TEE) was completed for the site in accordance with the MTCA, WAC 173-340-7490 through 173-340-7494. The TEE findings indicate that there is no unacceptable risk to ecological receptors at the site as no chemicals of ecologic concern, as identified on Ecology Table 749-2, have been found to exist at concentrations greater than the applicable unrestricted land use levels at the subject site.

CONCLUSIONS Insight Geologic has conducted our environmental sampling services on the property located at 256421 Highway 101 in Port Angeles, Washington. The purpose of our services was to evaluate for residual gasoline-range hydrocarbon concentrations in soil and groundwater at the site resulting from a historical release from the existing underground storage tank system. We drilled five borings to access soil beneath the north side of the building on the property. The borings were conducted to depths of between 12 and 15 feet bgs. Soil and groundwater samples were collected from the borings and submitted for the analysis of gasoline-range hydrocarbons, BETX and lead. Laboratory results indicate that residual concentrations of gasoline-range hydrocarbons and BETX were not detected, and concentrations of lead in groundwater are less than the respective MTCA Method A cleanup levels for unrestricted land use. Previous groundwater sampling events, including groundwater sampling within the on-site sump and former well on December 14, 2016, also indicated that gasoline-range hydrocarbons and BETX are not present at the site. Based on these results, it is our opinion that the residual gasoline contamination resulting from the historic release of fuel from the underground storage tanks has undergone natural attenuation in both soil and groundwater, and does not pose a threat to human health or the environment. The site should be considered for a determination of “No Further Action” by Ecology. LIMITATIONS We have prepared this environmental sampling report for use by Shing Ledgerwood and her authorized agents. This report may be made available to regulatory agencies. Insight Geologic, Inc. services were completed in general accordance with the scope and limitations of our proposal. Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with the generally accepted environmental science practices for Environmental Assessments at the time this report was prepared. No warranty or other conditions express or implied should be understood.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OTHERS

Insight Geologic makes no warranties or guarantees regarding the accuracy or completeness of information provided or compiled by others. The information presented in this report is based on the above-described research and a single recent site visit. Insight has relied upon information provided by others in our description of historical conditions and in our review of regulatory databases and files. The available data do not provide definitive information with regard to all past uses, operations or incidents at the site or adjacent properties. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS ARE ALWAYS EVOLVING

Some substances may be present in the site vicinity in quantities or under conditions that may have led, or may lead, to contamination of the subject site, but are not included in current local, state or federal regulatory definitions of hazardous substances or do not otherwise present current potential liability. We cannot be responsible if the standards for appropriate inquiry, or regulatory definitions of hazardous substance, change or if more stringent environmental standards are developed in the future. SITE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE

This environmental report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time (for example, a Phase I ESA report is typically applicable for 180 days), by events such as a change in property use or occupancy, or by natural events, such as floods, earthquakes, slope instability or ground water fluctuations. Always contact Insight before applying this report so that Insight may evaluate reliability of the report to changed conditions. READ THESE PROVISIONS CLOSELY

Some clients, design professionals and contractors may not recognize that the geoscience practices (geology and environmental science) are far less exact than other engineering and natural science disciplines. This lack of understanding can create unrealistic expectations that could lead to disappointments, claims and disputes. Insight includes these explanatory “limitations” provisions in our reports to help reduce such risks. Please confer with Insight Geologic if you are unclear how these “Report Limitations and Guidelines for Use” apply to your project or site. GEOTECHNICAL, GEOLOGIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS SHOULD NOT BE INTERCHANGED

The equipment, techniques and personnel used to perform an environmental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical or geologic study and vice versa. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering or geologic report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Similarly, environmental reports are not used to address geotechnical or geologic concerns regarding a specific project.
