Additional Property Attributes

Standard and other historical sources were able to document the current building was constructed in the southern portion in 1955 as a gasoline service station. A canopy was constructed in the central portion over the former fuel dispensers in 1978. The canopy was removed and the building was converted to a restaurant in 1984. An addition was constructed to the eastern portion in 1991. The building was occupied by a restaurant from 1984 until approximately 2008 and has been unoccupied since at least 2012.

Recognized environmental conditions include the following:

* The subject property was occupied by a gasoline service station from 1955 to 1984. Historical interior waste streams associated with the former automotive service operations from 1955 to 1984 would have consisted of general hazardous substances and/or petroleum products. A significant portion of this period preceded major environmental regulations and current waste management and disposal procedures. The historical waste management practices associated with the former operations are unknown and may be a source of subsurface contamination.

* The former automotive service operations also likely included the use of in-ground hydraulic hoists. In-ground hoists have an underground reservoir for hydraulic fluids, which can contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The potential exists that a release occurred from the former hydraulic hoist system and/or underground reservoir.

* PM was unable to obtain information about whether the former underground storage tanks (USTs) were removed when the property was converted to a restaurant and/or if any assessments were performed during removal. Additionally, the subject building was historically heated with fuel oil prior to 1984, which may have been stored in a UST. Lastly, there may have been USTs for waste oil installed associated with the former automotive service operations. The potential exists for orphan USTs to be present and/or for a release to have occurred.

The following adjoining and/or nearby REC has been identified:

* A property to the south, identified as 25595 Woodward Avenue, was historically occupied by a dry cleaner from at least 1950 to 1973. Dry cleaning operations commonly involve the usage of general hazardous substances and/or petroleum products, which, if improperly managed and/or disposed of, can be a source of contamination. This time period preceded major environmental regulations and current waste management and disposal procedures. The historical waste management practices associated with the former dry cleaning operations are unknown. Based on the close proximity to the subject property (i.e., within 100 feet) and documented groundwater flow to the north (towards the subject property), the potential exists for a release to have occurred on this property and migrated onto the subject property.


Non-ASTM Scope Considerations include the following:

* Based on PM's limited visual observations during the site reconnaissance, suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) included drywall walls and ceilings. The materials appeared to be in good condition apart from several small, damaged areas of drywall. It is understood significant renovation activities are planned.

* PM performed a limited visual assessment for the presence of mold, conditions conducive to mold, and evidence of moisture in readily accessible interior areas of the subject property. Suspect mold growth was identified in several areas of drywall walls, one area of damaged drywall ceiling, and along baseboards in the building. The impacts are likely due to the long-term unoccupied status of the building.
