Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)	Explanatory Text
Phase I and Phase II ESAs that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters	Phase I ESAs may consider current and on-going impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters and consider future impacts to the site or area. For example, an investigation of the site history can include an investigation of site vulnerabilities based on historical and recent extreme weather patterns and events (e.g., floods and drought). Phase II ESAs may include use of renewable energy, incorporating remote sensing capabilities, maximize reuse of existing wells (as appropriate) and/or design wells for future reuse, use of field test kits when possible, use of local laboratories when possible, and use of appropriate sized equipment for the project.

Cleanup Activities

Cleanup/Treatment Implemented: Y
Cleanup/Treatement Categories:
Addl Cleanup/Treatment info: The draft ABCA and Remediation Work Plan were finalized in May 2024 and after the 30-day public comment period, the ABCA and RWP were approved, and a Decision Memorandum was issued in early July 2024. The in-situ groundwater remediation activities were completed at the Site under this CA between October 21 and November 17, 2024. The targeted source removal activities via soil excavation is anticipated to occur in March/April 2025. Also, the asbestos was properly abated in 2022 prior to razing the existing structures, which incorporated waste segregation and recycling as appropriate. Approximately 1,031 gallons of hazardous liquid was removed from the building sumps and properly disposed during the 2022 demolition activities. Two roll-off boxes of hazardous waste (impacted concrete and debris found above and within the 2 historical pit vaults) were also removed and properly disposed during the demolition activities completed in 2022.

Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Demolition or Cleanup

Selected Strategy(ies)	Explanatory Text
Design of cleanup allowed for siting of weather-related and disaster-related resiliency measures in site reuse	The capacity of a system to maintain function in the face of stresses imposed by extreme weather events and natural disasters and to adapt the system to be better prepared for future related impacts.
Reduce energy use	Practices to reduce energy use may include limiting or eliminating idling of heavy equipment; maximizing use of machinery with advanced energy saving controls; use of cleaner fuels to power machinery and auxiliary equipment; onsite carbon sequestration (e.g., soil amendments, revegetation); reducing fuel consumption to save energy; and maximizing use of renewable energy.
Reduce waste and manage materials sustainably	Practices to reduce water and manage materials sustainably may include minimizing consumption of virgin materials; minimizing waste generation; use of recycled products and local materials; beneficially reusing waste materials (e.g. concrete made with coal combustion products replacing a portion of cement); and segregating and reusing or recycling materials, products, and infrastructure (e.g. soil, construction and demolition debris, buildings).
Sustainable land management practices	Sustainable land management practices capitalize on a "whole-site" approach that accelerates cleanup while returning a site to its natural conditions. Practices focus on opportunities to preserve natural land features, maintain open space, sequester carbon, enhance biodiversity, increase wildlife habitat, and minimize surface and subsurface disturbance. Sustainable land management practices at a brownfields site may include minimizing unnecessary soil and habitat disturbance or destruction; use of native species to support habitat; and onsite remediation approaches such as bioremediation and/or phytoremediation.

Yes

Categories of Controls

Government Controls Information Devices

Additional Institutional Controls Information

An IC is anticipated to be required that will be prohibit the installation of a groundwater well for consumptive or industrial use, require development of a soil management plan, and require preemptively installing a vapor mitigation system or further evaluating (through exterior soil gas sampling) this potential exposure pathway prior to constructing and occupying any structures on the site.

Property Highlights

According to a site specific Phase I ESA dated October 5, 2015, Advanced Plating Works, Inc. abandoned the Site prior to September 2011, leaving 164 drums, ten 275-gallon totes, hundreds of small containers, six plating vats, and five pits/sumps containing substances that included sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide, sulfuric acid, hydrocyanic acid, nitric acid, and paint thinner. Representatives from the U.S. EPA completed a time-critical removal action at the Site between February 27, 2012 and March 12, 2012. The summary of activities conducted by the U.S. EPA at the Site shows that hazardous substances were improperly stored on the site for an unknown period of time. Former Use: The Site is approximately 2.9 acres in size, consisting of one irregularly shaped parcel (Local Parcel #5001147). The Site was historically improved with an industrial building containing 18,700 square feet of floor space and a detached warehouse building containing approximately 5,250 square feet of floor space. The buildings were razed by the City in 2022 but the concrete slabs/foundations remain in place to limit surface water infiltration and direct exposure to the residual contaminants. The site was formerly occupied by Advance Plating Works, a metal plating facility. Former operations at the plating facility included nickel, chrome, zinc, cadmium, and copper plating. Historical city directories indicate that the Site occupants in 1934 and 1939 were private residences. Soap manufacturers were the listed occupants in 1943, 1949, and 1953. The J. I. Holcomb Manufacturing Company (warehouse) was listed at the Site in 1964 and 1969, and Advance Plating Works was the listed Site occupant from 1974 through 2005. The Site was listed as unoccupied in 2010. Health Department records indicate the plating company occupied the Site until 2009, when it was closed due to bankruptcy. The Site is currently inactive, vacant, and all buildings have been razed. The historical on-site water well was permanently abandoned in 2022. Cleanup activities (in-situ injections) were initiated in October 2024 and soil excavation will is anticipated to occur in March/April 2025. Future reuse of the property is anticipated to be commercial/industrial.
