Kinston was the home of the Neusiok Indians in the 1500-1 1700's when English settlers first discovered the area along the Neuse River. Due to its fertile soils, moderate climate, and water transportation, English settlers continued to find their way to Kinston during the 1700 and 1800's. The formation of the City of Kinston (whose southern downtown border lies adjacent to the banks of the Neuse River), the Revolutionary War (1776 - 1783), the Civil War (1861 - 1865), agriculture (cotton and tobacco), manufacturing (textiles), and weather (floods and Kinston's location (75 miles east of Raleigh and 65 miles west of the North Carolina coastline) with fertile soils and moderate climate and its location as the western most navigable point on the Neuse River made the City a desirable location to live. The City thrived until the 1990s with ample jobs in agriculture (tobacco) and manufacturing (textiles). With the decline oft these industries, the population ofk Kinston decreased from 25,295 in 19901 to 20,083 in 2018 (a 20.6% decrease; US Census Bureau). A downtown that once provided business, retail and support services for these industries and their workers has become a vacant core. With these main economic drivers gone, there has been a push by Cityl leaders to take advantage of Kinston's location and heritage as a tourist location. In response to these challenges, the City applied for and received a $300,000 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Assessment Grant for FY 2020-2023 to conduct community-wide assessments of brownfield sites potentially contaminated with petroleum andlor hazardous substances. The City used this assistance to address the brownfields in this area and accomplish the goals laid out in Plan The City of Kinston used the EPA funding for environmental assessment and redevelopment planning of brownfield properties primarily along the Queen Street Corridor. This has allowed us to take the first steps towards our planned revitalization. US Highway 70 is the main interstate between central NC and the southern beaches. Turning north onto Queen Street from US Highway 70 you cross the scenic Neuse River just before entering downtown Kinston. The two-mile stretch of Queen Street, the main north-south corridor through the city, was the target area for our project. Our "Main Street" was once home to burgeoning businesses and flanked by flourishing residential neighborhoods. Now Queen Street is plagued by over 80 brownfield sites made up of abandoned gasoline stations, former industrial sites, and vacant/underutlized commercial and retail buildings. In the last 20 years our community has lost well over 1,000 jobs, many from our downtown. The persistent blight makes attracting new businesses, residents and office tenants challenging. The primary residential area adjacent to Queen Street is Census Tract 103, which was ranked the #1 most economically distressed tract in NC in the latest North Carolina's Distressed Urban Tracts  hurricanes) have all had major impacts on the current City.

Mid Atlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF- 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina PROJECT GOALS  December 20, 2023  Page 3  The City submitted a' Work Plan that detailed goals and milestones to be completed with the grant funds. The City is pleased to report that although some of the specific goals and milestones set forth in the cooperative agreement work plan changed as the project  progressed, the outcome was an overwhelming success.  TASK ONE - PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT  Ini the Brownfields Assessment Grant Application, the City highlighted the importance oft the involvement and participation of community members. The goal was to establish a Steering Committee made up of community representatives and residents from the targeted area. Local citizens included on our Steering Committee included a resident of the target areas, a local lawyer, a local developer, a local pastor, the Kinston Chamber of Commerce, the Pride of Kinston, and Lenoir County Early College High School. Primary outreach efforts included Steering Committee meetings, outreach to local property owners and regulatory agencies,  and participation in local community events.  Public Involvement  The City developed a Community Involvement Plan to guide public Flyers about the program and how to get involved were developed and The City conducted two Brownfields Steering Committee meetings on January The City's consultant managed a booth and provided flyers at the open-air The City and its consultant participated in many one-on-one conversations with  participation and community involvement activities.  distributed.  26, 2021 and February 2, 2022 (virtually). festival BBQ Fest On the Neuse in Spring 2022. many citizens and property owners.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to conduct some of our planned activities. Additionally, as the project progressed we determined that one-on-one personal contacts with our citizens and residents was a more effective outreach mechanism. Our efforts proved not  only effective but more cost efficient. TASK 2 - SITE INVENTORY  The City conducted an inventory of brownfield properties along the Queen Street Corridor in  Mid Atlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF- 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina  December 20, 2023  Page 4  downtown Kinston to provide the necessary information for future brownfield redevelopment activities and serve as a beneficial marketing tool for potential developers. The City inventoried over 80 properties based on the following criteria: abandoned or underutilized and meet the Site Eligibility requirements; the potential to meet the overall goals outlined in Plan Kinston; site reuse having the potential to contribute to the overall revitalization of our target corridor; potentially contaminated; and owners committed to the Brownfields reuse process and also for site access through an approved access agreement. Mid-Atlantic also performed ac detailed inventory of potential pollutant sources (both past and present) in our target area  to identify sources of potential exposure to pollutants.  TASK THREE - ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS  PHASE/ IENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS  The City completed 9 Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (encompassing 15 parcels  and approximately 43.78 acres) during the project period.  FORMER JIL RECYCLING CENTER  The Phase I ESA was completed at this property on January 27, 2021. This 3.25-acre property consists of one parcel and is located approximately 1 mile north of Kinston's main downtown. The site was wooded and residential in the 1940s and was developed in the 1950s with a commercial bakery that operated at the site until 2000. The site operated as JIL Industrial  IPVIRE  Recycling Center from 2010 until the spring of 2015 when the building was damaged by a fire. The City was interested in conducting assessment at this property to determine if its historical use as a recycling center had potential affected soil, groundwater, or surface water at the property. The site is also one of the largest parcels on Queen Street and the City felt reuse could spur economic development in the local area. The Phase I noted several recognized environmental conditions (RECs) associated with the site, including: the historical operation as a commercial bakery, the historicaloperation as ani industrialrecycling facility, a documented release from a former on-site underground storage tank (UST) system; and documented releases from UST systems on adjacent properties. At the time of our site visit, the site consisted of a vacant lot with remnant concrete pads and foundation materials. Additional information regarding this property is provided in the Phase II  Environmental Site Assessment Section below.  Mid Atlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina 317-323 NORTH QUEEN STREET  December 20, 2023  Page 5  The Phase I ESA was completed for the properties located at 317, 321, and 323 North Queen Street on June 8, 2021. These two parcels are 0.48 acres together. The site is in the heart of downtown on North Queen Street, located in the same city block as the Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce. This property was purchased shortly after the Phase IE ESA was conducted. Because the City conducted assessment on this property, financial and logistical hurdles were alleviated for the new owner, a local property  developer. According to historical Sanborn fire insurance maps the property was developed prior to 1885 and was used for multi-family residential and/or various hotels through 1901. The property was occupied by various commercial uses in the early 1900s including a movie theatre, bottling house, and undertaker. From the 1950's through the 1980s, a tire service facility operated at 317 North Queen Street. The Phase I noted two RECS associated with the site: the historic operation of a tire servicelauto repair facility on the Subject Property, and the historic presence of gasoline tanks on the Subject Property. The Phase lalso noted several RECS associated with historical dry cleaners and UST incidents on adjacent and nearby properties which may have adversely affected the property. Additional information regarding this property is provided in the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Section  below.  301 SOUTH QUEEN STREET  The Phase I ESA was completed at this property on July 2, 2021. This approximately 0.24-acre property is as single parcel located on the west side of South Queen Street, one block south of the Lenoir County Courthouse in downtown Kinston. This property was within the priority sites the City outlined in their application and work plan for this grant and reuse of this site is directly aligned with the goals of Plan Kinston. This site was purchased by a local property  development group shortly before the Phase I ESA was conducted. The group has successfully re-occupied this property, which had been vacant for several years, with a commercial facility that sells car tires. According to historical Sanborn fire insurance maps, the site was developed for residential use from at least 1885 through 1930. The site was redeveloped and operated as a gas station from at least 1948 through 1983. The property stopped operating as a gas station and was utilized for tire sales from 1995 through 2017.  Mid. Atlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF- 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina  December. 20, 2023  Page 6  Prior to our assessment, the building had been vacant for the last several years. The Phase IESA noted two RECs: the site's historical use as a gas station and vehicle maintenance facility, and historical use of adjacent properties as gas stations, auto repair facilities, and dry cleaners. Evidence of a hydraulic lift and USTS were observed during the Phase IESA. Additional information regarding this property is provided in the Phase II Environmental Site  Assessment Section below. 304 SOUTH QUEEN STREET  The Phase IESA was completed at this property on July 7, 2021. This 0.27-acre property includes four parcels and is located on the east side of South Queen Street and one block south of the Lenoir County Courthouse in downtown Kinston. The City was interested in conducting assessment on this property as it was within the priority sites outlined in the application and workplan for this grant. Based on  4  historical information, the site has been developed since at least 1885. Since 1885 the property has been occupied by residential and commercial use including: a grocery store, a boarding house, a hotel, a movie theatre, a restaurant, an attorney, a church, and a dry cleaner. Three buildings were razed in 1958, 1994, and 2014. The Phase IESA noted three RECs: the historical use of a dry cleaner at the property; the historical presence of an auto garage at the Subject Property; and the historical use of adjacent and nearby properties as  dry cleaners, filling stations, and automotive repair facilities.  414 NORTH QUEEN STREET  The Phase IESA was completed at this property on October 14, 2021. This 0.2-acre property is located in a historic area of downtown Kinston along the main Queen Street corridor. The building is currently utilized for offices occupied by Nathan Perry Realty, LLC. The City was interested in conducting assessment at this property to reposition it for future commerclalres.dental redevelopment. Based on historical information, the site was developed in the late 1800's as a foundry and machine shop. The  present-day building was constructed in the early 1900s. According to historical Sanborn fire insurance maps the site operated as an auto repair facility and/or gas station from 1920s through 1964. A ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey was conducted as part oft the Phase  Mid, Atlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF- 01D12620 Cityo of Kinston, North Carolina  December: 20, 2023  Page 7  IESA, which identified several previously unknown underground storage tanks (USTs). The assessment identified the following RECS for this site: the historical operation of a gasoline service station, auto repair facility, and junkyard, and the presence of unregistered USTS at the Subject Property; and the historical use of adjacent/nearby properties as dry cleaners, filling stations, and/or automotive repair facilities which include the potential use of USTS, petroleum, and solvents. Additional information regarding this property is provided in the  Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Section below.  FORMER HARPER SALVAGE YARD  The Phase IE ESA was completed at this property on June 27, 2022. This two-parcel property is 30.33 acres and located less than two miles southwest of downtown Kinston at 1313 NC Highway 11/ Highway 55. Based on historical information, the site operated as Harpers Auto salvage yard from the 1960s through early 2000s. The site has been vacant since approximately 2005 when it stopped operating as a junk yard. In the early 2000s the State of North Carolina established a program for the remediation of high-risk junkyards and  solid waste sites as a response to flooding from Hurricane Fran and Hurricane Floyd in the late 1990s. The City of Kinston received a grant in the early 2000s from the State of North Carolina to purchase conservation easements on this property and other local junkyards located within the 100-year flood plain. The conservation easement places the property under control of the local government and strictly limits the potential uses of the site. The City of Kinston hoped to convert the property into a driving range for the residents of Kinston and Lenoir County to enjoy. Although a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was planned for this property, assessment was delayed due to legal ambiguity between the  property owner and local government.

Agreement BF- 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina EMMA WEBB PARK  December 20, 2023  Page 8  The Phase I ESA was completed at this property on April 28, 2022. This 6.61-acre property is located at 101 East Highland Avenue just north of downtown Kinston. The City is interested in revitalizing this park, and conducting an assessment was an important initial step. Since completing the Phase I ESA the City has won a $500,000 grant from the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF), and the City of Kinston will match another $500,000 for this park restoration project. Based on our review of historical  information, the site has been owned by the City of Kinston since at least the 1930s and has operated as a public park since then. The park is developed with an in-ground swimming pool, locker room building, covered picnic shelter, and an approximately 4,500 square foot, single-story building currently utilized as the Emma Webb Gymnastics Center. The Phasel ESA revealed the following RECS in connection with the site: the historical use of USTS to heat an on-site building; a documented releases from former USTS on a southwest adjacent property that has resulted in groundwater contamination at the Subject Property; and the  historical operation of two dry cleaners on a west adjacent property.  CASWELL HOTEL AND FIRE STATION MUSEUM The PhaselESA was completed at this property on September 21, 2022. This 0.40-acre property is located at 112 and 118 South Queen Street just north of the Lenoir County Courthouse, in downtown Kinston. The City was interested in conducting assessment at this property to reposition it for potential future use as a boutique hotel, commercial, or residential redevelopment. Based on our review of historical information, the  site has been developed since at least 1885 for residential and commercial use. The Fire Station Museum, located at 118 South Queen Street was originally constructed in 1895 and has historically operated as a fire station, city hall, retail stores, and/or municipal offices. The Caswell Hotel, located at 112 South Queen Street was constructed 1906. The ground floor of the hotel has been occupied by commercial retail businesses, restaurant(s), and offices, and is currently utilized as Courthouse Square' office space. The Phase IE ESA revealed two RECS in connection with adjacent properties: the historical presence of several petroleum USTS south adjacent to the Fire Station Museum; and historical presence of a  petroleum UST west adjacent to the Subject Property.  MidAtlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF- 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina  December 20, 2023  Page 9  FORMER MR. WAFFLES RESTAURANT The Phase IESA was completed at this property on August 2, 2023. This 2.00-acre property is located at 600 West New Bern Road less than half a mile west of the intersection of West New Bern Road (Highway 70) and South Queen Street (Highway 258 Business). Based on our review of historical information, the site was first developed in 1986 with a - drive-in style restaurant. The property was occupied by various restaurants between 1995 and 2005. The property has been vacant since  approximately 2005 and has been an eyesore along a main thoroughfare into the City of Kinston. At the time of our assessment, the structure was partially demolished. Mid-Atlantic conducted a Phase IESA and an Asbestos Survey. ASDest0s-Containing materials were not identified at the Subject Property and the Phase I ASA revealed no evidence of RECS, controlled recognized environmental conditions (CRECs), or significant data gaps in connection with the Subject Property. The City was interested in conducting assessment at this property to reposition it for future commercial redevelopment. The Asbestos Survey also alleviated financial and logistical hurdles for the property owner to safely demolish what  remains of the building.  PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS  Prior to initiating Phase II ESAS, the city prepared a Generic Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) on December 22, 2020, that was approved by the EPA. The City completed four Phase II ESAS and one Vapor Intrusion Assessment at the following properties.  FORMER JIL RECYCLING CENTER  Prior to initiating Phase II ESA field activities at the R2: property, a Site Specific QAPP Addendum 1-A was submitted and approved by NCDEQ and the EPA. The Phase I ESA for this site identified several RECS, including: the historical operation as a commercial bakery, the historical operation as an industrial recycling facility, a documented release from a former on-site UST system; and documented releases from UST  MidAtlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF- 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina  December 20, 2023  Page 10  systems on adjacent properties. Phase II activities were completed at the property in April 2021. Field activities during the Phase II assessment consisted of sampling soil, groundwater, surface water, stream sediments, and soil gas. Stream sediments did not exhibit contaminants of concern (COCs), but soil and groundwater samples identified COCS at concentrations exceeding residential regulatory limits. Mid-Atlantic used the Division of Waste Management's (DWM) Risk Calculator to determine if a potential vapor intrusion condition may exist at the property. The risk calculations indicated current site conditions do not pose a risk to potential redevelopment for residential or non-residential use of the site. Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined that additional assessment, remedial action, or institutional controls would not be necessary for commercial  redevelopment but may be necessary for residential use.  301 SOUTH QUEEN STREET  Prior to initiating Phase II ESA field activities at the property, a Site Specific QAPP Addendum 2-A was submitted and approved by the EPA. RECS identified int the Phase IESA included the site's historical use as a gas station and vehicle maintenance facility, including the use of USTS, hydraulic lift, and potential oil/water separator; and the historical uses of adjacent properties as gas stations, auto repair facilities, and dry  cleaners.  The Phase II ESA was completed at the property from June 16 and 17, 2022 and included a ground penetrating radar survey, the installation of four temporary groundwater monitoring wells and collection of groundwater samples, the collection of six soil samples, and the collection of two sub-slab soil gas samples. Results of the Phase II ESA identified impacts to groundwater and soil gas at the property. However, the degree and extent of the impacts do not exceed acceptable risk for the property's use as a commercial business. Based on the results of this investigation, ngmneerng/mstutiona controls, further assessment, and/or remedial action are not necessary for the Subject Property's current commercial use. Should the property be redeveloped in the future, additional assessment may be necessary depending  on intended use.

The 0.48-acre property includes two parcels and is in the heart of downtown, located in the same city block as the Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce. The Phase I ESA identified RECS including: the historic operation of a tire servicelauto repair facility on the site; the historic, presence of gasoline tanks on the Subject Property; and the  historical uses of several adjacent and nearby properties which have had UST incidents or The Phase II ESA was completed at the property on August 31, 2022 to determine if further assessment, remedial action, and/or institutional controls would be required in order to characterize site conditions sufficiently and to make appropriate decisions with respect to cleanup, expansion andlor site reuse as commercial and residential mixed use. During the field activities two soil samples were collected, three sub-slab soil gas samples were collected, and two temporary monitoring wells were installed and sampled at the site. The results of the groundwater sampling activities were compared to the North Carolina Groundwater Quality Standards (NCGQS) and Ground Water Vapor Intrusion Screening Levels (GWSLs). Soil sample results were compared to the Division of Waste Management (DWM) Residential Health-Based, Industra/Commercial Health-Based, and Protection of Groundwater Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs). Very few compounds were detected in soil, groundwater, or soil gas samples, and at low concentrations which did not exceed the regulatory levels. Based on the results of this investigation, current site conditions do not appear to pose a risk to the future residential or non-residential use oft the site. Mid-Atlantic does not believe further assessment, remedial action, or engineeringimsitutional controls are required for the redevelopment of this site.  historically operated as dry cleaners.  414 NORTH QUEEN STREET - UST CLOSURE REPORT Prior to initiating field activities at the property, a Site Specific QAPP Addendum 5-A was submitted and approved by the EPA. RECS identified in the Phase I ESA included the historical operation of a gasoline service station, auto repair facility, and junkyard, and the presence of unregistered USTS at the Subject Property. A search through the Division of Waste Management's UST database did not identify information regarding the tanks identified via GPR, which  appear to be unregistered.  Mid Atlantic    Brownfields Grant Closure Report Cooperative Agreement BF- 01D12620 City of Kinston, North Carolina  December 20, 2023  Page 12  The assessment activities were completed at the property from January 30 through January 31, 2023, and included a GPR survey to locate the two known USTS and look for additional USTS, and the collection of 8 soil samples. The two USTS, approximately 1,000 to 2,000- gallon capacity, were deemed too close to the building foundation to be safely removed. As such, the tanks were partially excavated and found to have been previously closed in place. No evidence of UST closure activities or sampling at the Subject Property were identified in the DEQ UST Section's Washington Regional Office database records. Mid-Atlantic collected closure soil samples from around the perimeter of the on-site USTS. The GPR survey conducted on January 30, 2023 also identified a previously unknown "probable" UST under the sidewalk and within the right-of-way for North Queen Street (which is not within the property boundary) and a "No Confidence Anomaly" southeast of the on-site structure. Itis currently unclear if this may be a UST. Sampling results were indicative of a release from the two sampled USTS and soil has been adversely impacted at the site. Mid-Atlantic submitted the UST Closure Report to Brownfields EPA Project Manager and the NCDEQ, UST Section, Washington Regional Office for review. Based on the results and the lack ofa Responsible Party, Mid-Atlantic recommended this site should be referred to the UST  Section State Lead Program.  FORMER KINSTON SHIRT FACTORY-VAPOR INTRUSION ASSESSMENT  This property, ai formert textile mill which operated from 1901 through 1995, had been assessed via Phase I and Phase II ESAS conducted in 2015 and 2017 under Kinston's previous EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant and successfully entered into the North Carolina Brownfields Redevelopment Section (BRS). Although, the Brownfields Agreement for the property covers a total of fifteen parcels, this assessment addressed the two parcels that plan to be redeveloped into the Kinston Community Health Center. The BRS required a vapor intrusion assessment prior to redevelopment of the site. Prior to initiating Phase II ESA field activities at the property, a Site Specific QAPP Addendum 6-A was submitted and approved by the NC BRS and EPA. Soil and groundwater impacts had already been identified through previous The Vapor Intrusion Assessment was completed at the property on August 2, 2023 and included the installation of seven sub-slab sampling points to collect sub-slab soil gas samples and characterize conditions beneath the proposed Kinston Community Health Center. Results of soil gas samples indicate the Subject Property has been adversely impacted by historical on-site and/or off-site operations. However, the risk calculations indicated current site conditions do not pose a risk to potential redevelopment for non-residential use oft the site. This assessment report has been reviewed by the BRS.

However, with most of North Carolina's regulatory programs (including the BRS) using risk- based cleanup rules, actual cleanup and reuse planning for most of our sites was not The City originally considered foreclosing on the Former JIL Recycling Center and redeveloping it into either a municipal use or greenspace. However, at the close oft this grant that was no longer a priority. Additional cleanup planning may be necessary in the future if Assessment activities at 301 South Queen Street and 317-323 North Queen Street showed that proposed redevelopment (commercial and mixed-use retail and residential, respectfully) could take place with no additional cleanup, as such ABCAS were not necessary for those projects. The previously vacant 301 South Queen Street property has As part of the Brownfields Agreement for the Former Kinston Shirt Factory property, the BRS required an approved Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prior to demolition or construction activities for the proposed Kinston Community Health Center. The EMP documents redevelopment plans and environmental data to inform regulatory-complant decision making at the site.

However, the COVID-19 global pandemic posed significant obstacles with safely convening the steering committee and holding public meetings to engage the community. At least one steering committee meeting was held virtually over video As indicated, the City of Kinston anticipated developing ABCAS, entering sites into the NCDEQ Brownfields Redevelopment Section, and establishing plans for redevelopment for high priority  ABCA- - Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives  conferencing software.

Although several high priority properties were assessed, there were no concrete development plans. Without a proposed use, the amount of cleanup and insltutonalengneering controls necessary could not be determined. For similar reasons, we did not enter any sites into the North Carolina Brownfields Redevelopment Section because we did not have a proposed developer  or proposed use.  LESSONS LEARNED  Through the use of our Steering Committee, effective outreach, and the enthusiasm of City officials, we were able to quickly zero in on the most desirable sites for our redevelopment goals. Although challenges in attracting development to our community remain, we have been able to remove significant due diligence barriers from these target sites. The value of these efforts for a small community like Kinston was evident with the eventual development of our Kinston Shirt Factory site, which was assessedladdressed over five years ago with previous grant funds. Many times the seeds laid using assessment funds do not produce fruit until years later. The efforts under this grant, like previous ones, will provide us with a "marketing tool" as we pitch these sites to investors. Overall, considering the project's accomplishments and benefits to the community, the City views this project  as a success and a building block for future brownfield redevelopment activities.

I am happy to report that the application was successful, and we have been awarded funding to complete the The Carbon Reduction Plan program is relatively new, with the first cycle of applications since the program's inception coming available in the spring of 2023. The program encourages creative projects that directly reduce carbon footprint and promote reduction of carbon emissions, with particular emphasis and focus on rural communities. The ECRPO and Lenoir County submitted Phase 2 of the Kinston Riverwalk to the CRP for funding; this phase of the Riverwalk endeavors to connect the existing on-road termination of the Riverwalk at the Kinston Powerplant to the Kinston Community Center. For your reference, the original 75% drawings for Both the existing and proposed sections of the Riverwalk lie within Kinston City Limits. The existing portion of the trail is one of the few physically designated trail segments of the Mountains to Sea Trail that is not associated with an adjacent highway or roadway corridor. The Kinston Riverwalk has been one of the few projects submitted for funding under the bike and pedestrian section of the State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) every year since the project was conceived. Furthermore, this project is part of the City's Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan, the Kinston Promenade Greenway Plan, and is supported as a project in the City's The CRP had around $9 million available for projects in the eligible areas ofl North Carolina, and the ECRPO and Lenoir County were awarded a grant of$3,349,460; this award constitutes more  project.  this portion oft the Riverwalk are attached to this memorandum.  Comprehensive Land Use Plan.    than 35% of all funds available in the entire State, and all other awards were less than $500,000. Of the total award, NCDOT requires a 20% cash match.

The program includes $6.4 billion int formula funding for Fiscal Years 2022-2026. Thel legislation specifies that aj portion oft thet funds must be obligated by population  as follows:  35% offunds may be obligated to any area of the State 65% offunds apportionedi to a State for CRP obligated by populations Urbanized. areas over 200,000 Urbanized areasi from 50,000t to 200,000 Urbanized areas from! 5,000t to 49,999 Other areas less than! 5,000  NCDOT's Transportation Planning Division is administering the funds for the rural areas oft thes state.

Will there be a minimum dollar amount for projects?  NCDOT has set a minimum project cost of $100,000 for construction projects. In the case of purchasing buses or vans for on-demand transit service, the actual cost fort the purchase will be accepted. Keep in mind that we must adhere to "Buy America" requirements for all projects including vehicle purchases. Transit vehicle purchases willl be flexed to FTA. Please note: NCDOT will not re-imburse for any charges that occur prior to authorization. 2. Does the project selection process developed by the MPO/RPO need to be approved NCDOT recommends that the project selection process be approved by the TAC or MPO Board  by the TAC/MPO Board?  since projects must be added to the STIP.  3. Are there any elements that are required to be part of the process? FHWA does not require anything beyond ensuring project eligibility for projectselection. However, NCDOT will be providing a template for the process. The planning organization will be able to edit the template for what works best for their area. Ift the project is not on FHWA approved list of eligible projects, documentation of emission benefits is required. 4. What entities are eligible to deliver or implement projects? Any entity that can enter into al local agreement with NCDOT.  5.  Could a NCDOT Division deliver or implement one of these projects on behalf of the This is allowable but is up to eachi individual Highway Division.

The funds can be combined with other federal sources if eligibility requirements and non- federal match requirements are met for each program. Funds that are used to purchase transit vehicles or support eligible transit operations will be flexed to the Federal Transit Administration and will be required to follow FTA requirements. Please Note: federal funds cannot be used to match federal funds. Ifcombining funding sources, keepi in mind the requirement forl local match for each funding source, as applicable. 9. Can money be rolled over for 3 years in order to pool money to do al bigger project? Per FHWA requirements, CRP funds are available for obligation for a period of 3 years after the last day oft the federal fiscal year (September 30) for which the funds are authorized (See 23 U.S.C. 118(b)). Thus, CRP funds are available for obligation for up to 4 years.  10. What happens to funds that go unspent?  Ifal Local Government Agency has not obligated thet funds and entered into al local agreement with NCDOT by June 30 of the second year, then NCDOT will rescind the funds and will redistribute the funds through a competitive process, or use the funds for an eligible Division- 11. Is the 20% match calculated with NCDOT's 10% in the total project amount, or not? NCDOT's costs (estimated to be roughly 10% of overall costs) are eligible to be covered with Federal funds (80%) and non-federal (20%) match. The local entity should include anticipated  led project, or use funds on projects in the STIP.  NCDOT costs int their overall project budget.  2    For example: Ifat town estimates a project will cost $500,000 and is awarded CRP funding ($400K CRP and $100K Local), then that funding will be programmed in the STIP. A year later, the project is ready to go to construction and the town estimates that it will now cost $750,000. The Federal funding is still capped at $400,000; the remaining $350,000 would be all Local funds. Please note that the 80% Federal share would not go upa and all project costs that exceed the agreement amount are the responsibility of the LGA entering into the agreement. 12. What will the nvoicing/reimbursing process be if project was locally led project? Information about NCDOT traditional reimbursement process is available online. Steps between the MPO/RPO awarding a project and invoicing are listed:  Programming in STIP Municipal Agreement environmental work)  Preliminary Engineering funding authorization (for expenses related to design, Professional engineering firm procurement (to provide the above deliverables) Right of Way funding authorization (for expenses related to ROW acquisition) Right of way acquisition (in accordance with the Uniform Act) Utility Relocation authorization (for expenses related to utility relocation)  Utility Relocation Final Plans Contract Proposal Engineer's Estimate construction contract) Construction (per NCDOT guidelines) Closeout Reimbursement  Construction Funding authorization (which allows the Local to advertise and leta  Local entities may not request reimbursement until an agreement is executed, deliverables provided, and funding authorized, but it may occur throughout the project assuming funding 13.
