Additional Property Attributes

At the time of the reconnaissance, the Property consisted of approximately 16.2-acres of land. The northern portion of the Property was primarily concrete or gravel-covered and was developed with two pole barns, an office/scale house, a truck scale, and a concrete loading ramp with mechanical docks. A well house that contained a pressure tank, piles of fill material (i.e., soil mixed with concrete, asphalt, or brick fragments) and crushed stone, and various pieces of plastic culvert pipes were located on the north-central portion. The southern portion of the Property was primarily bare soil with straw and grass. Mr. Donaghy indicated they had removed concrete surfacing from the southern portion of the Property and planted grass several months prior to the site reconnaissance. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Property except for the following: the presence of impacted soil and groundwater above applicable regulatory criteria and the past use of the Property as a metal recycling facility, including the dark staining, the unknown metal tank, and the fill material observed during the reconnaissance. It is the EP's opinion that further investigation is warranted.
A Sampling and Analysis Plan was prepared for the Phase II ESA to further evaluate the RECs identified during the Phase I ESA and to help determine the following: Conduct limited subsurface activities to assess potential environmental contamination associated with the historic uses of the Property, if contamination is discovered, determine if regulated constituents are present at concentrations greater than Indiana Department of Environmental Management's (IDEM's) Risk-based Closure Guide (R2) Published Levels, and generate sufficient data to determine if the future use of the Property would warrant corrective action to meet risk-based and regulatory goals. The analytical results for the soil samples indicated concentrations of lead, and arsenic above their respective IDEM R2 Published Levels in one or more of the soil samples analyzed. The analytical results of the groundwater samples collected identified concentrations of total lead and arsenic above their respective IDEM R2 Residential Tap Published Levels. In addition, our secondary analysis for dissolved metals exhibited concentrations of dissolved arsenic exceeding the IDEM R2 Residential Tap Published Level in the sample collected from temporary monitoring well B5.

The scope of this Phase II Further Site Investigation (FSI) assessment was designed to further evaluate current site environmental conditions for the purpose of supporting environmental due diligence for the planned redevelopment of the Property. We prepared this report to document the encountered conditions, our visual assessment of the suspect USTs, soil sampling procedures, results of soil chemical analysis, and our conclusions and recommendations. Prior to boring advancement and test pit excavation, on August 17, 2023, SME directed American Locating Services to conduct a ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) conductivity survey to locate relic USTs, which were reportedly abandoned in-place. American Locating Services identified two metallic anomalies (TP2 and TP3) along the eastern boundary that were indicative of potential USTs. One other anomaly (TP1) was identified further south and was indicative of a former UST pit. On August 25, 2023, a GPS was used to identify the location of boring B2, which was advanced during the January 2023 investigation. Five soil borings were advanced using a hand auger to screen for environmental impact and to define the lead impacts identified in the surface soil in the vicinity of boring B2. Results of soil chemical analyses were compared to the 2023 IDEM R2 Direct Contact Residential, Direct Contact Commercial/Industrial, Excavation, Direct Contact Excavation Published Levels. None of the soil samples collected from the so
