Additional Property Attributes

The Phase II ESA identified the following: � Range 1 Soil: Seventeen (17) PAHs, five (5) RCRA metals, ammonia, and nitrate detected. Concentrations of all RCRA metals, fertilizers and eleven (11) PAHs below applicable SWSs. Benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(b)fluoranthene reported at concentrations above the SWS. � Range 2 Soil: Diesel, thirteen (13) VOCs, ammonia, and nitrate and detected. All detected concentrations reported below applicable SWS with the exception of diesel which was reported in exceedance of the Tier 1 standard. � Groundwater: Diesel, sixteen (16) PAHs, nineteen (19) VOCs, ammonia, nitrate, and three (3) RCRA metals detected above laboratory reporting limits or were reported at non-detect values that exceed applicable SWSs in the groundwater samples. Diesel, three (3) PAHs, three (3) VOCs, nitrate, and arsenic detected at concentrations above applicable SWSs. 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane, 1,2- dibromoethane, and 1,2,3-trichloropropane reported as non-detect values above applicable SWS. A sheen and visible separation of product (apparent LNAPL and DNAPL) noted at location SP4-1. � Vapor Intrusion: Twenty (20) compounds detected in groundwater sufficiently volatile and sufficiently toxic to present a vapor intrusion risk and are available compounds for evaluation using the Johnson and Ettinger Vapor Intrusion Model for Forward Calculation of Indoor Air Concentration and the IDNR Cumulative Risk Calculator. The calculated results for this media indicate that vapor intrusion alone does pose a risk on this site. � Cumulative Risk Evaluation: Calculated cancer and non-cancer risk for a site resident are unacceptable. Calculated cancer and non-cancer risk for a site worker, and construction worker are acceptable for applicable exposure pathways. These risk assessment results consider redevelopment on the subject property for a slab-on-grade building; risk assessment calculations for a basement structure. The unacceptable cancer and non-cancer risk for a site resident is primarily driven by the reported benzene, isopropylbenzene, and hexane concentrations in groundwater on the subject property, modeled to vapor intrusion risk. 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. Environmental consulted recommended that the findings of the report be provided to the City of Dubuque�s Water Department for their records. The consultant also recommended notifying the County�s Health Department of the groundwater results contained in the Phase II ESA to prevent the installation of new wells on the subject property or on adjacent properties. This action will sever the groundwater ingestion pathway for the subject property. The results of the study indicated that vapor intrusion potential presents an unacceptable risk for site residents without further action. Implementation of engineering or institutional controls (environmental covenant, engineered vapor remediation system with geo-membrane vapor barrier, etc.) on the subject property is needed to sever this exposure pathway. Further, redevelopment plans should take into consideration the unacceptable risk determination for site residents� exposure to groundwater. Any site feature which would comingle surface water with groundwater (such as a detention pond or wetland) should be effectively engineered to prevent exposure to groundwater contamination. The consultant recommended providing the report should be provided to the IDNR for guidance on what actions will be required as a result of the observed contamination in order for the subject property to be redeveloped as desired.
