FUNDING REQUEST Amount Requested: $399,000 Funding Source: ❑ RPF 0201 Funding Type: 0 Grant 0 Loan ❑ Site Assessment ❑ Either Brownfield Grant and Loan Project Proposal IV. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION The Property was developed with Webster Elementary School in 1920 and Previous use(s): remained utilized as such until the school closed in 2006. The Property remained vacant between 2006 and 2016 until the Developer, Micah 6 Community purchased the Property in 2016. The Property is currently developed with a vacant school building, containing approximately 52,950 square feet. The basement of the school building is filled with wastewater and a petroleum odor was identified during previous site investigations. A boiler room is located north of the school building and totals approximately 1,056 square feet. A 20,000-gallon fuel oil underground storage tank (UST) is present east of the boiler room building. The UST was not accessed Current use(s): during previous site investigations and therefore the current contents of the fuel oil UST are unknown. A severely weathered surface parking lot is present on the northern portion of the Property. Here, cracked asphalt continues into an open field. The greenspace contains groomed grass and totals approximately 88,200 square feet. The property is currently being utilized for community gardens and an athletic field. The Property will be redeveloped as the Webster Community Center, providing Proposed new use(s): social services and recreational opportunities for unserved populations living within the City of Pontiac. Known or suspected Lead Based Paint (LBP), Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs), Polynuclear Diesel - Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PNAs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and Diesel - contaminants: Range Organics (DRO) PROJECT SUMMARY Page 2 Brownfield Grant and Loan Project Proposal Provide one paragraph below that summarizes the redevelopment, the environmental challenge that needs to be addressed, and how the brownfield funding will be used to address that challenge: The Project proposes to redevelop the vacant, underutilized, and contaminated parcel into a community center to serve the socio-economically distressed City of Pontiac. The existing school building will remain in place and undergo significant interior renovations to meet future needs. Plans include converting the school's exterior courtyard into an event space, and the existing gymnasium into a theater/sport court. Classrooms will be repurposed as tenant space for various community program offerings, which will include educational programming, community -based arts, a daycare, business incubation, and food services. In total, 28 tenant spaces will be made available. North of the building, the greenspace will be converted into an athletic field and community garden which will feature community plantings and hoop houses which will extend the viable growing season. The greenspace will also serve as overflow parking for large events. AKT Peerless (AKT) completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the subject property in June 2017. AKT's Phase I ESA identified apparent petroleum odors in both subject buildings (i.e., main building and boiler building) and was informed by the subject property owner that fuel oil storage tanks were present in the basement; however, due to flooding, the basement could not be accessed for inspection. Additionally, AKT identified the presence of a 20,000-gallon fuel oil UST located east of the boiler building and the potential for a release to have occurred as a recognized environmental condition (REQ. AKT identified the potential for hazardous building materials and asbestos containing materials (ACM) to exist based on the age of the subject building. The completion of a hazardous materials survey was recommended to identify lead and asbestos containing materials. It is anticipated to be completed in March 2021. Based on known site conditions an estimate has been generated and is included. AKT conducted site investigation activities in January 2020 that included the advancement of four soil borings in the area surrounding the 20,000-gallon fuel oil UST and the collection of one basement wastewater sample. Concentrations of various petroleum VOCs and PNAs were identified in a soil sample collected west of the UST basin, which exceed the Michigan Part 201 Groundwater Surface Water Interface Protection (GSIP) cleanup criteria. Therefore, the subject property is a "facility" in per Michigan Part 201. Groundwater was not encountered by AKT in any of the soil borings advanced on the subject property; however, an accumulated wastewater sample was collected from the flooded basement. A concentration of DRO was identified in the wastewater sample exceeding laboratory reporting limits. Concentrations of DRO were identified in soils collected in the area of the 20,000-gallon fuel oil UST at concentrations indicative of residual light non -aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) saturation. Additionally, concentrations of various VOCs and PNAs in soil exceed the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Volatilization to Indoor Air Pathway (VIAP) screening levels. The screening level exceedances are indicative of a vapor intrusion condition with corresponding contaminant vapor inhalation exposure risks to building occupants. DRO concentrations were identified in the basement water, which may correlate to the petroleum odors observed in the boiler room and main building basement during previous site investigations, and together with the petroleum concentrations identified in soil indicate that a release of fuel oil occurred at the property, including the 20,000-gallon fuel oil UST and possibly historical fuel oil storage tanks or product piping formerly present within the building basement.

In January 2020, AKT Peerless completed a Phase II ESA to evaluate the RECs identified in their June 2017 Phase I ESA. Specifically, the potential for soil and/or groundwater impact from the heating oil UST(s) present on the property, and the potential for the presence of contaminated water in the flooded school basement were assessed by this Phase II ESA investigation. On January 28, 2020, AKT Peerless conducted soil and accumulated water sampling in areas most likely to be impacted by contaminants based on AKT Peerless' June 2017 Phase I ESA. The results of the investigation indicate the following: • DRO concentrations were identified in soil samples collected in the area of the 20,000-gallon fuel oil UST that are representative of residual LNAPL saturation in soil, which represent a vapor intrusion concern. • Naphthalene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, and 2-methlynapthalene were detected in soil at concentrations exceeding the EGLE Groundwater Surface Water Interface Protection cleanup criteria. • Naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, phenanthrene, ethylbenzene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, and 1,3,5- trimethylbenzene concentrations were detected in soils at concentrations greater than the EGLE Volatilization to Indoor Air Pathway screening levels indicating that a vapor intrusion condition exists, which represents an inhalation exposure hazard to building occupants. Page 7 Brownfield Grant and Loan Project Proposal • DRO concentrations were identified in the basement water sample, documenting that it has been impacted by fuel oil released at the property. The basement water has since been removed and a sump installed to prevent further flooding. PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS WITH GRANT/LOAN FUNDING Check all that apply ❑ Hazardous Material Survey ® Assessment/Investigation ® UST Removal ❑ BEA ® Due Care Planning ® Demolition ❑ Excavation ® Soil Transport/Disposal ❑ Vapor Mitigation ❑x Other (please describe): See below. Describe the proposed actions that will be undertaken with grant and loan funds to address the environmental conditions and make the property safe for the proposed reuse. Please explain reasons why the proposed eligible activities should be funded. Based on the analytical results from the previous investigations, the following due care and response activities are anticipated as part of this project. Activities as described are necessary for the project to be protective of public health, safety, and environment, and for the successful reuse of the property. Basement Dewatering: Concentrations of DRO were identified in initial basement wastewater samples collected by AKT and previous site investigations document observed fuel oil odors in the boiler room and main building basement. Subsequent basement wastewater sampling activities were conducted in in January 2021 to further characterize the accumulated basement water to pursue sanitary sewer discharge approval from the local authority. The water was subsequently disposed of in April 2021 and is not included as part of this grant funding request. Industrial Cleaning: It is anticipated that the washing surfaces in the school basement following removal of the accumulated water be completed to facilitate safe re -occupancy of the building. Furthermore, the owner will need to characterize and dispose any additional wastewater that is generated as part of basement washing activities. Additional Subsurface Investigation: Previous site investigations noted petroleum odors in the main building and boiler building and interviews with previous owners indicate that fuel oil was stored in the basement. Based on the presence of accumulated wastewater in the basement, these concerns could not be assessed during previous site investigations. Therefore, additional assessment is required to assess the potential for contamination associated with fuel oil storage in the subject building basement and to determine appropriate response activities to mitigate the risk of human exposure, if necessary. UST Removal: Based on laboratory results, residual heating oil compounds indicative of a release of material from the fuel oil UST are present in the soil surrounding the heating oil UST. The UST was not accessed during any of the previous site investigations; therefore, the contents of the UST (i.e. liquids, Page 8 Brownfield Grant and Loan Project Proposal sludge) are unknown and could present a threat of release to the subject property. Due to its historic use, the heating oil UST is unregulated and UST registration and/or Part 213 release notifications are not warranted from a regulatory standpoint. However, since the UST is not in use and the contents are unknown, the UST will be removed and any contents will be transported for offsite disposal at a licensed disposal facility under manifest procedure to eliminate any future threat of a release. Additionally, based on the facility status of the subject property, the owner of the subject property is required to comply with Part 20107a "due care" to prevent exposure to, or exacerbation of the existing contamination in soil, groundwater, and/or soil gas, if present. Therefore, following removal or in -place closure of the UST, assessment samples will be collected from the excavation to assess soil and/or groundwater conditions in order to determine appropriate response activities and to determine appropriate handling of excavated material (i.e., soils) to comply with due care obligations. Contaminated soils that are removed from the subject property will require proper management and disposal at a Type II landfill. Asbestos and Lead Abatement: Based on the age of the subject building and associated boiler room, there is potential for the presence of LBP and/or ACM which will be characterized prior to demolition and/or redevelopment and abated if necessary. Based on known site conditions an estimate for this work has been included. A survey will be conducted prior to abatement. Provide maps showing contamination relative to the building footprint and/or the development plan (see checklist in Section XII): Please see Attachment 2. DEMOLITION If a grant or loan will be used for demolition (buildings, site features, etc.), answer the following questions: Does the structure impede the proposed environmental response activities? ®Yes ❑ No Does the structure present a health or safety threat? ❑ Yes ®No Does the structure impede the reuse of the property? ❑ Yes ®No Do the environmental activities exceed the cost of demolition? M Yes ❑ No Further explanation, if necessary: Site demolition of the boiler room is necessary to remove the known underground storage tank (UST). VII. ECONOMIC AND REDEVELOPMENT INFORMATION Capital Investment: Permanent Jobs Created: Full Time = 29 $17,069,685 Part Time = 2 Current State Equalization Anticipated post redevelopment SEV: $ 0 Value (SEV): $ 0 Is there a developer committed to the project? ® Yes ❑ No Developer's Name: Micah 6 Community Provide a brief summary of how the redevelopment project will provide an economic benefit to the community: The Webster Community Center Redevelopment Project will act as a catalyst for other investment in the area by increasing property rates. By activating the Property, the Project will increase day -time density and Page 9 Brownfield Grant and Loan Project Proposal occupancy to a currently vacant building, contribute to the safety, security, and vibrancy of the neighborhood. Occupancy of various tenants within the building will also encourage greater local spinoff spending within the city. Thus, the Project will improve the neighborhood's livability and walkability. Immediate impact to neighborhood residents includes through services that will be offered in the building include: Health care resources to low income individuals, food service to low income individuals, entrepreneurial development for low income individuals and the community, child services programming, community based arts programming by Pontiac based organizations, local indoor bus stop, services to homeless (emergencyfood pantry, OLHSA welcome Center (CAA). 100,000 will be served annually. 52,000 of these customers will be comprised of the total annual customer count for the coffee shop. We know many of them will be repeat customers. The rest of the numbers are from the various services providers. Most programs will have 80% + of their customers being low income. Long after the redevelopment is complete, this Project will continue to contribute to local revitalization by engaging the community in recreational, educational, and social programs. Anticipated long term benefits include improved community health, educational opportunities, and employment opportunities. DEVELOPER'S EXPERIENCE Provide a brief summary of the developer's business experience, including any other businesses, terms and conditions of their participation in the project, bankruptcies, and civil or criminal enforcement actions related to environmental violations: Micah 6 Community is the project developer ("Developer"). The Executive Director, Coleman Yoakum, was inspired to create the non-profit in August of 2012 after watching a NBC Nightly News segment. The aired story documented Pontiac's financial troubles and attempt to sell every asset, including City Hall and the Library. With this information, Yoakum decided to move from Detroit to Pontiac to see how he could support the City. He sent out a call to his colleagues who were deeply committed to social justice to join him and thus Micah 6 Community was formed. From the very beginning, it was imperative that the team be members of the community and right away they took to meeting neighbors, fixing bikes for neighborhood kids, attending community meetings, and grilling out for the neighborhood. Through these efforts, they developed a great understanding and report with their neighbors. To this day, Micah 6 Community staff live in the census tract they are serving. Micah 6, along with their neighbors, started to convert vacant lots into community gardens. Micah 6 has also had previous success in successfully rehabilitating a formerly vacant building into what is now Sprout Fresh Food as well successfully rehabbing formerly vacant duplexes in the neighborhood. Today, Micah 6 manages 1.2 acres of community gardens. They renovated and opened a produce store - Sprout Fresh Food Store down the road from Webster Elementary, which sells fresh vegetables year-round and operates pop-up markets around the City, serving high -risk populations. In 2018, Micah 6 began creating formal programming for neighborhood children, many of whom are behind academically and are not engaged in after school or summer programs. This has turned into after school tutoring as well as an educational summer camp. Micah 6 will continue to expand social program offerings through the Webster Community Center Redevelopment Project. The Developer's history of engagement provides evidence of the commitment Micah 6 holds to improving the lives of Pontiac citizens. For the proposed project, Micah 6 has engaged with Tom Johnson, Principal of Landmark Group, LLC. Tom brings 30 years of experience in the field of community and economic development. He has successfully secured financing for community development projects across the state of Michigan in the span of his career. He also co-founded Northern Homes Community Development Corporation in 1997 and serves as vice chair on the board of directors of the Michigan Certified Development Corporation. Other project partners include CBI Design as the architect of record, Spence Brothers as General Contractor and PM Environmental as the environmental consultant.

COMMUNITY OUTCOMES Will existing infrastructure be reused? ® Yes ❑ No Page 11 Brownfield Grant and Loan Project Proposal Please describe: The existing school building as well as utilities such as water and sanitary will be utilized. Surrounding roadways will be maintained. Is the community in which the project is located economically disadvantaged, depressed, or facing other significant challenges? x❑ Yes ❑ No If yes, explain: According the EPA's Environmental Justice Screening Tool, which uses data from the 2014-2018 American Census Survey, within a mile radius of the Property, the median income is only $21,700. These residents make less than half that of Oakland County's average. The poverty rate of the subject property census tract is 36.8%, of which minorities make up over half of this number. This, compared to the 9% Oakland County average (American FactFinder 2017), is indicative of significant community economic hardship. The immediate surrounding area has extremely depleted property values and an exceptionally low ownership rate of single-family homes, which are the predominant feature of the neighborhood. The unemployment rate is 27%, and 16% of our neighbors don't have a high school diploma. These numbers were taken before COVID and the current economic decline and are likely even worse now. The good news is that many of the neighbors are actively engaged in providing insight on and helping to improve their neighborhood. The planned Webster Community Center sits on M59 corridor in Pontiac. City-wide blight removal program has demolished more than 50 homes within a couple blocks of the building. Six vacant multi -story apartments are within three blocks. Three vacant and blighted commercial spaces are within a single block. The area in front of the building has a bald spot in the grass which serves as a neighborhood bus stop. Abandoned cars often line the side streets surrounding the building. Additionally, the vacant and rundown Property is prohibiting the City of Pontiac from creating a pedestrian friendly neighborhood along a major thoroughfare. Does the project fit into the community's development plans? ® Yes ❑ No Please explain: Considerations from the City of Pontiac's 2014 Master Plan Update have been taken throughout the planning process. Refer to the Community Benefits section for more information. COMMUNITY BENEFITS Provide a brief summary of how the redevelopment project will result in social or other community benefits, including job creation, increased tax base, blight removal, addressing dangerous conditions, placemaking, impact on surrounding properties, etc: Considerations from the City of Pontiac's Master Plan have been taken throughout the Webster Community Center Redevelopment Project planning process. The project will activate a blighted property located along M-59, a major corridor near Telegraph Road. Experiencing heavy traffic, the development will reinvent the street level Property, creating much wanted positive attention for the neighborhood. Such accomplishments are key for the future of Pontiac and are outlined within the Master Plan. Once redeveloped, the unique inner-city destination will provide access to park and recreation facilities for Pontiac residents, many of whom currently lack access to such. Micah 6 Community envisions a building where a pottery class, yoga class, and game of pick-up basketball, are happening all at once. The multi -purpose Webster Community Center will also foster education and entrepreneurship, providing tutoring, cooking classes, a small business incubator, and a rentable commercial kitchen. Committed programs include Cooking with Kids, Basketball League, Martial Arts Classes, Mentoring, Book Club, Etiquette Classes, After School Tutoring, Mentoring, Grief Recovery, Art Page 12 Brownfield Grant and Loan Project Proposal Classes, Music Education, Head Start Classes, Theatre Programming, Back to School Drives, Christmas Toy Give -Away, and College Prep Mentoring. In 2020, Micah 6 conducted a survey of which they received over 200 responses of what needs the community identified. The proposed end uses are the culmination of that nearby resident feedback. Furthermore, Webster will serve as a food hub, providing amenities such as an indoor food growing operation with cleaning and prep space, commercial and teaching kitchen, 300 square foot storage refrigerator, Sprout Fresh Food Store, food pantry, and 6,000 square feet of greenhouse space. The Developer aims to eliminate Pontiac's status as a USDA food desert. Sustainability initiatives include the installation of on -site solar panels. Walkability will also improve once development is complete, as residents will be able to access the Webster Center by foot. By activating the Property, the Project will increase day -time density, creating year-round foot traffic, adding to the safety, security, and vibrancy of the city. Thus, the Project will improve the neighborhood's livability and walkability. The Redevelopment Project will act as a catalyst for other projects in the area by increasing property rates because the center is a strong neighborhood asset. Long after the redevelopment is complete, this Project will continue to contribute to local revitalization by engaging the community in recreational, educational, and social programs. Anticipated long term benefits include improved community health, educational attainment, employment opportunities, and the empowerment of Pontiac's urban population. This protect has and will continue to fully engage the neighbors in almost every aspect possible. This has occurred since its inception where it was the neighbors that created the concept for the community center. Empowering the neighbors and the neighborhood will be the major catalyst for revitalization. IX.
