E200050486 & E86699 NJDEP CASE NO. 17-04-20-1128-26 MATRIX NO. 18-286 Dear Ms. Carballo & Mr. Smeraldo: Matrix New World Engineering, Land Surveying and Landscape Architecture, PC (Matrix) is pleased to present this proposal to the Township of West Orange (Township) for the above referenced activities at the Former Biddelman, Inc. (Site) property located at 4-10 Central Avenue (Block 9, Lot 32) in the Township of West Orange, New Jersey. The Site is approximately 0.93-acres, rectangular in shape, and is currently improved with a two -story cinder block building on a concrete slab foundation (9,900 square-foot building) that has been vacant since 2004. The remainder of the Site consists of an asphalt paved and gravel parking lot, and a small grassy area. The existing building is pending demolition by Blue World Construction prior to Site remediation and redevelopment. In an effort to reduce overall redevelopment costs for the Township, Matrix completed in-situ building material characterization sampling to identify material associated with the existing building that may be utilized as fill for beneficial reuse during redevelopment of the Site. SCOPE OF WORK Matrix proposes to conduct limited oversight during demolition activities to ensure areas of the building that qualify as “fill for beneficial reuse” are properly segregated from impacted material that will require off-site disposal, following demolition. This scope of work for the oversight is based on the Blue World Construction Bid submitted on June 23, 2025, for the demolition of the Biddelman Building. The bid from Blue World Construction is based on the May 2025 Limited Demolition Specifications, April 2025 Summary of Concrete Sampling Activities, February 2025 Regulated Building Material Investigation Report, and the May 2025 materials Management Plan. All

5 Limited Demolition Specifications, April 2025 Summary of Concrete Sampling Activities, February 2025 Regulated Building Material Investigation Report, and the May 2025 materials Management Plan. All activities will be overseen and directed by a Matrix Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP). A more detailed scope of services is presented in the Tasks summarized below. Task 1 – Building Demolition Oversight Building demolition will occur following completion of asbestos abatement activities. Matrix understands that abatement activities will be conducted by a licensed New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) asbestos abatement subcontractor that has been retained by Blue World Construction. Asbestos abatement monitoring and air sampling services are included in the Bid from Blue World Construction. Matrix conducted characterization via in-situ sampling of the building materials (i.e., concrete slab, cinder block walls, and exterior brick walls) to determine if the material would quality for on -site beneficial reuse as fill during redevelopment. Based on the results of the building material sampling conducted by Matrix, all cinder block and brick can be utilized as beneficial reuse fill on-site. However, portions of the concrete floor slab on both the first and second floor of the building require segregation and off -site disposal at an approved facility, as summarized in the Concrete Sampling Letter Report submitted in April 2025, and the Materials Management Plan submitted in May 2025 by Matrix to the Township.

Prior to demolition activities, Matrix will demarcate the areas on both the first and second floor of the building where impacts have been identified and delineated. These areas of the concrete slab will require segregation during demolition and off-site disposal at a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) approved facility . Matrix will coordinate with the demolition contractor to ensure the impacted concrete slab is properly segregated from material to be reutilized as beneficial use fill and staged on plastic or loaded into roll -off containers for off-site disposal at an approved landfill. Construction debris that qualifies for beneficial reuse including building foundation footings, will be crushed and stockpiled separately for future reuse as fill during Site redevelopment. Based on the Bid from Blue World Construction, Blue World is anticipating being on-site for approximately 41 days. Matrix has budgeted oversight for four hours a day for a total of ten days. Task 2 – Waste Classification Sampling (if required) The demolition contractor will be responsible for contracting with an appropriate disposal facility to accept the impacted portions of the concrete building slab. Building material sampling conducted previously by Matrix identified Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPH), tetrachloroethene (PCE), and several metals including cadmium, copper, and lead in the concrete, at concentrations exceeding the NJDEP applicable soil remediation standards (SRS). Although data exists from the building material sampling to provide to the disposal facility selected by the demolition subcontractor, additional analysis may be required based on the requirements of the chosen disposal facility before the material can be accepted by the facility. Therefore, additional waste classification sampling may be required based on the receiving facility sampling requirements. Since the specific receiving facility is unknown, Matrix assumes up to two (2) additional waste classification samples will be collected from the impacted material, if required. The samples will be submitted to a New Jersey certified laboratory and analyzed for Full Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), total polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and reactivity, ignitability, and corrosivity (RIC). The sample s will be analyzed on a standard 7-day turnaround time (but is

ristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), total polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and reactivity, ignitability, and corrosivity (RIC). The sample s will be analyzed on a standard 7-day turnaround time (but is budgeted for 3-day turnaround time due to potential time constraints). Upon receipt/evaluation of analytical results, Matrix will submit the required documentation to the receiving disposal facility for approval, transportation and off-site disposal. Task 3 – LSRP Oversight and Project Management This task includes project management and the anticipation of future conference calls and/or meetings with the project team. As a part of this task, the Matrix LSRP will oversee the activities outlined above. Please note that the disposal of the concrete and beneficial reuse of fill on the Site will be captured in the Remedial Action Report to the NJDEP. Reporting costs to the NJDEP are not included in this proposal. COSTS All work will be conducted in accordance with the previously transmitted standard terms and conditions and LSRP Special Provisions.
