Additional Property Attributes

The Property consists of two tax parcels (Cochise County Assessor Parcel Numbers 106-70-037 and -038) totaling 1.03 acres of land owned by Baldwin Brothers, Inc. and Balcorp, Inc., respectively. The Property is developed with an approximate 5,800 square-foot building used primarily by Freedom Automotive for used car sales. Building features include a customer reception area, offices, storage rooms, and six bays previously used for auto servicing and now used for storage, except two bays that are used by a secondary tenant, Waxman, for auto detailing.
The Property was undeveloped until the 1960s when the eastern parcel (297 East Fry Boulevard) was developed with a gas station. In the mid-1970s, the western parcel (245 East Fry Boulevard) was also developed with a gas station. By the mid-1980s, the gas station on the eastern parcel was closed and the parcel was redeveloped as a tire and auto service business that was operated by Goodyear until 2000. The gas station on the western parcel was closed in 1997. The Property was vacant until Freedom Automotive took occupancy in 2009. The Phase II ESA yielded the following conclusions: * The data indicate a release of PAHs and VOCs in soil samples collected from the former UST nests and/or pump islands (borings B01, B05, and B12). These do not exceed SRLs for commercial use at any At B12 concentrations in soil exceed some SRLs for residential use. Tetraethyl lead was not detected in the samples collected from borings completed at the former UST nests or pump island.
* VOCs were also detected in the soil vapor samples collected from the former UST nest west of the Property's building but not at concentrations that exceed the commercial SRLs. At B02 VOCs in soil samples exceed SRLs for residential use.
* No PCBs or PAHs were detected in soil samples collected from near the in-ground hoists in the service bays (borings B09-B11).
* The results of the Phase II ESA indicate the presence of residual contamination from the former UST systems but not at levels that would require additional investigation, and no apparent impacts from the in-ground hoists or the former sump in the service bays of the Property's building. Based on the findings of this Phase II ESA, with one exception Stantec does not recommend further action at the Property. Since the contamination present at B12 is above what ADEQ UST would likely classify as a release, a recommendation is made to conduct a risk assessment that includes the following items, particularly if future use of the property is ever anticipated to be residential. The risk assessment would determine if there is a potential future risk to residential or sensitive populations (e.g., daycare, medical facility, etc.) that may occupy the site. * Shallow soil sampling at 5 and 10 feet and conduct inhalation, dermal and ingestion risk evaluation if there are detections above Residential SRLs.
* Construction worker dermal and ingestion risk evaluation for soil impacts at 15 feet bgs.
* Soil vapor survey (2-3) soil vapor probes for J&E screening evaluation for vapor inhalation risk evaluation. Note that since the current property owner was not the owner/operator of the gas stations that were previously at the property the results of the Phase II ESA report do not trigger a requirement (a regulatory obligation) to report these findings to ADEQ or perform the work that is recommended above. ADEQ has a Non-Corrective Action program to assist property owners with confirmation of suspected releases and they encourage property owners who are not UST owner/operator to contact them to discuss options. Their contact information can be found at this http://www.azdeq.gov/UST/noncorrective-action
Because benzene was detected in two samples at concentrations that exceed the Residential SRL, the VEMUR recorded on the deed for the western parcel of the Property cannot be removed.
