Additional Property Attributes

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA; October 2010) investigation confirmed recognized environmental conditions (RECs) related to a possible heating oil tank, possible production of pest control chemicals on site, proximity to a former filling station, and proximity to other filling stations and drycleaners in the vicinity. The potential presence of asbestos and lead-based paint was also noted. In addition, the report noted that areas of the school were inaccessible due to waste debris piled in the rooms and hallways, and the collapse of the basement stairs and portions of the ceilings. The Hazardous Materials Survey (HMS; May 2011) indicated the presence of lead-based paint (LBP), asbestos containing building materials (ACBMs), and household hazardous waste throughout the structure. Abatement costs estimates for LBP and ACBM were refined to incorporate the likely remediation methods to facilitate the intended renovation project. It was recognized that significant work must be done to seal gaps in the roof, windows and doors to prevent exposure to the environment and unauthorized entrants. A remedial design and renovation feasibility study was necessary to determine whether the structure could be abated and reinforced at a reasonable cost. The Structural Survey identified significant signs of structural deterioration and recommended demolition of the structure. The Phase II ESA (April 2011) did not indicate the presence of contaminants associated with the identified RECs (heating oil tank, pesticides, close proximity to filling stations/dry cleaners). Although concentrations of arsenic, lead, and cadmium were observed above Missouri Risk-Based Corrective Action (MRBCA) Default Target Levels (DTLs), these concentrations did not exceed the recommended background levels for the area. Based upon data obtained from the groundwater peizometers installed at the site, little to no groundwater was present at the bedrock/soil interface. No further action at the site was recommended. The building was originally intended for renovation as affordable senior housing. In February 2011, a Structural Engineering Review of the Horace Mann, prepared by KH Engineering Group, P.A, found that structural framing was significantly deteriorated in many areas due to moisture, heat and cold and lack of maintenance and that the building was in such poor structural condition that occupants should not be allowed inside. The report recommended demolition of the additions and either demolition of the main building or replacement of the roof and interior framing. However, multiple fires in late 2011 damaged the building to the extent that renovation was no longer economically feasible. During the RLF-funded remediation activities, and prior to demolition of the building, approximately 62.49 tons of asbestos containing materials (ACM) were removed from the site including approximately 28,500 square feet (sq. ft.) of floor tile and mastic; 1,400 sq. ft. of carpet adhesive; 85 windows with window glaze and window caulking; 1,500 linear feet of pipe wrap; 500 sq. ft. of boiler insulation, 50 sq. ft. of water tank insulation, and 1,000 linear feet of exterior tar and 500 sq. ft. of roof tar; 1,100 linear feet of roofing tar; and 2,300 sq. ft of roofing material. All waste was disposed of at the Johnson County Landfill in Shawnee, KS. During the lead-based paint (LBP) stabilization process, funded by local sources, 6.83 tons of demolition debris containing less than 5.0 milligrams per liter of lead was removed from the subject property. All ACM and LBP identified in the survey report and the additional ACM and LBP sampled during abatement activities were removed; therefore, and Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M) was not required. Approximately 8,400 pounds of household hazardous waste (HHW) was removed and disposed of at the Systech Environmental Corporation in Fredonia, KS. During demolition of the structure, also funded by local sources, an undergrou
