Additional Property Attributes

The Phase II ESA investigation identified the following: � Range 1 Soil: Sample results identified eleven (11) PAH compounds above laboratory reporting limits. Only benzo[a]pyrene at location SB5 was identified at a level above Statewide Standards. Sample results identified up to six (6) RCRA metals above laboratory reporting limits. Lead and arsenic at locations SB1, SB2 and SB5 were identified at levels above Statewide Standards. The concentrations detected present an unacceptable cancer and non-cancer risk for a site resident, site worker, and construction worker. � Range 2 Soil: No VOC or TEH compounds were detected above laboratory reporting limits in Range 2 soil samples. � Groundwater: Ten (10) PAHs, one (1) VOC, and one (1) RCRA metal were detected above laboratory reporting limits in the collected groundwater samples. Benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, and tetrachloroethene were detected above protected groundwater Statewide Standards and below non-protected groundwater Statewide Standards. The concentrations detected present an unacceptable cancer risk for a site resident. Non-cancer risk for site resident is acceptable. Risk factors for cancer and non-cancer risk for a site worker and construction worker were acceptable. � Vapor Intrusion: Benzo[b]fluoranthene, chrysene, tetrachloroethene, and pyrene are sufficiently volatile and sufficiently toxic to present a vapor intrusion risk for slab-on-grade buildings. The concentrations detected present an acceptable cancer and non-cancer risk for site resident, site worker, and construction worker. � PCB: Analytical results did not indicate the presence of PCBs in the sampled areas on the subject property. The City of Dubuque has an ordinance (Section No. 16-11-20) that prevents the installation of private wells unless public water is not available. This requires permit approval by the County�s Health Department. Further, no wells may be installed within 500 feet of a LUST site. The City notified the County�s Health Department of the groundwater results contained in the Phase II ESA to prevent future installation of new wells on the subject property or adjacent properties. This action severs the groundwater ingestion pathway for the subject property. The results of the Phase II ESA indicate that the subject property is not suitable for future residential, commercial, or industrial purposes without remediation of shallow soil. In addition, mitigation of surface deposits inside the building near sample location SB5 should be conducted prior to demolition. Lead, arsenic, and benzo[a]pyrene contamination is present in the shallow soil and in the surface deposits covering the slab at this location. Lead and arsenic exceedances were noted in several locations around the building footprint. Further Range 1 soil sampling should be conducted once demolition of existing structures is completed. While not found in exceedance during this study, mercury was also detected in Range 1 soil. Observations including improper storage of liquid mercury on the adjoining property indicate that further mercury sampling should also be conducted once demolition is completed. In addition to the soil, groundwater, and PCB wipe samples, an asbestos assessment was completed on the subject property. Asbestos containing material (ACM) was identified on the subject property. Abatement of the ACM is required before the structure is demolished. The City of Dubuque acquired the subject property prior to securing an EPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant. Re-use plans include constructing a bike trail, bike pavilion, playground equipment, and public bathroom to serve the adjoining Bee Brach creek daylighting project. The trail will provide important connectivity to the South Port area via the national Mississippi River Trail.
