Additional Property Attributes

"Findings and conclusions of the Phase I ESA report are summarized below: 1. The subject site consists of an approximate 0.18-acre developed parcel. It is located at 4279 St. Louis Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri, and near the intersection of Lambdin Avenue and St. Louis Avenue. Review of historical resources reveals that the site has historically been used as a gasoline service station and auto repair facility. The historical use of the property as a gasoline service station represents a historical REC to the subject site. 2. Based on interviews, site reconnaissance, and records review, two USTs related to the former use of the subject site as a gasoline service station still may be present at the subject site. Aquaterra could not locate records pertaining to UST removal or closure at the subject site. Two vent pipes potentially related to the USTs were observed at the subject site. The potential presence of USTs related to the past use of the subject site represents a REC to the subject site. 3. Two mapped facilities (Former Dry Cleaning Facility on St. Louis Avenue, and St. Louis Development Corp) listed in the federal databases represent a REC to the subject site based on their reported facility status, reported distance, and/or topographic position from the subject site. A Phase II environmental assessment will be conducted by the departments contractor."

Former Use: The 0.18-acre site was used as a gas station from the early 1920s. The applicant is not sure when the station closed. The site has a one story 2,000 square foot building in usable condition. The property is currently owned by Mount Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. The planned end use of the property is development for church use.

A Phase II ESA was conducted:
* Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks (USTs): The investigation indicates that there is no significant contamination present near the surface, but there is significant contamination, primarily total petroleum hydrocarbons-gasoline range organics (TPH-GRO), present from the 10- to 12-foot depth bgs. This depth interval would appear to be the depth corresponding to underneath the base of the two USTs. The contaminant levels are above Missouri Risk Based Corrective Action (MRBCA) residential risk based target levels (RBTLs) protective of a future resident, but below non-residential RBTLs.

* Pump Island/Piping: Neither TPH-diesel range organics (DRO) or -GRO was detected near the surface of these two pump islands. Concentrations of TPH-GRO and naphthalene exceeded MRBCA Default Target Levels (DTLs). The TPH-GRO concentrations in B-3 to the north exceeded the residential RBTLs, so it appears that further delineation of the gasoline release is required to the north of B-3.

* Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM): Barr performed a full pre-demolition building inspection, including bulk testing of all interior, exterior, and roofing materials. Laboratory testing of all suspect material did not reveal the presence of any ACM present that would need to be abated prior to demolition of the building.

* Offsite Drycleaners: The subsurface soil sampling and groundwater sampling conducted did not identify any contaminant presence in the subsurface that could be attributed to an offsite drycleaner.

* Site Shallow Groundwater: The testing of the temporary piezometer at the site near the USTs revealed groundwater contaminant concentrations above RBTLs for domestic use. TPH-DRO and n-hexane were both detected above the residential RBTLs for indoor inhalation at B-4, which was screened adjacent to the USTs. The City of St. Louis has an ordinance prohibiting private water supply wells in the city limits. As such, the indoor air protection RBTLs would appear to be more applicable to the site to determine risks to human health from groundwater contamination. If contamination has migrated out of the pit vicinity and the flow direction is not in the assumed southeasterly direction, then the contaminant plume
