1 July 21, 2016 Mr. Brian Burkhart, P.E. Environmental Quality Director Chatham County 720 Renaissance Drive Pittsboro, North Carolina RE: Split Ash Sample s May 2016 Charah Brickhaven Facility Dear Mr. Burkhart: Smith Gardner, Inc. (S+G) is pleased to present the following results from the split ash sampling performed on May 26, 2016 by S+G personnel at the Charah Brickhaven Facility. An ash sample was collected in the appropriate container provided by Prism Laboratories, Inc. and shipped, under proper chain of custody (COC), to the lab, on ice. Samples collected by S+G personnel were sent to Prism Laboratories, Inc. 1 (NC Certification No. 402) for analysis. Analysis was performed for 8 RCRA Metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium and silver) as well as antimony, beryllium, boron, cobalt, copper, lithium, molybdenum, nickel, thallium, vanadium and zinc. The additional parameters were added due to their analysis in groundwater samples, to provide a direct comparison. Only the parameter silver was not detected above its MDL (Method Detection ) in the sample this event. Laboratory results are provided. Please contact us with comments or questions at (919) or by below. Sincerely, STH GARDNER, INC. Madeline German, P.G. Project Geologist madeline@smithgardnerinc.com Joan A. Smyth, P.G. Senior Hydrogeologist joan@smithgardnerinc.com Attachment: Laboratory Analytical Report cc: Dan LaMontagne, Chatham County 1 Prism Laboratories, Inc. 449 Springbrook Road, Charlotte, NC
