Additional Property Attributes

At the time of the reconnaissance, the Subject Property consisted of two parcels of land comprising approximately 0.7 acres of land. The eastern portion of the Subject Property consisted of a grassy lot, and the western portion of the Subject Property was developed as a gravel lot. Concrete slabs were observed in the northwest, central, and southeast portions of the Subject Property. In the EP's opinion, this assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Subject Property except for the following: evidence of a release from the UST system and potential for impacted groundwater and the potential presence of USTs at the Subject Property. It is the EP's opinion that further investigation is warranted.
The Remediation Work Plan (RWP) has been formatted using the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's (IDEM's) Risk-based Closure Guide (R2), dated July 8, 2022. The objective of this RWP is to:
* Evaluate the nature and extent of contaminated soil and groundwater at the Property,
* Remove two suspected underground storage tanks (USTs),
* Remediate suspected hydrocarbon impacted soil and groundwater beneath the Property, and
* Achieve No Further Action (NFA) Status through IDEM.
Upon receipt of the NFA designation, the property is expected to be remain a commercial business.

An investigation associated with the former underground storage tank (UST) systems at the former Smoot's Service Station property located at the intersection of Heltonville Road and Bailey Scales Road in Bedford, Lawrence County, Indiana. Through the geophysical survey, test pits, and soil borings, SME was able to confirm that the three registered USTs, reportedly containing gasoline, were previously removed from the Property. Four soil samples were collected from five test pits (TP1 through TP5) conducted in the southern and central portions of the Property and 22 soil samples were collected from 15 soil borings (B1 through B6, SB6/SW1, SW2 through SW4, and SB1 through SB5) advanced in the vicinity of the former UST excavation and throughout the Property. Soil borings SB1 through SB5 and SW6/SW1 were converted into temporary monitoring wells to facilitate the collection of groundwater samples. Groundwater samples were collected from temporary wells SB3 and SB4, as sufficient water column was present within the wells. A soil sample was collected from the two-foot interval above the base of soil boring SB6/SW1, as groundwater was not encountered above 30 feet bgs. Analytical results of the soil samples collected from the soil borings advanced at the Property identified concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene above the IDEM R2 Residential Direct Contact Published Level in soil sample SB2(0-2). The presence benzo(a)pyrene in the sample is likely the result of fill material (solid waste) in the sample interval and not the result of a release from a UST system. No other CoCs were reported above their respective IDEM R2 Published Levels in the confirmatory soil samples collected during this assessment. The analytical results of the groundwater samples collected from the temporary monitoring wells during the Phase II activities identified concentrations of total lead above the IDEM R2 Residential Published Level in the duplicate of groundwater sample SB4-GW. The presence of total lead in the groundwater sample collected from temporary monitoring well SB4-GW is likely the result of sediment interference, and not indicative of a release of contaminants from an anthropogenic source. This understanding is supported by the absence of lead from the sample collected from the same monitoring well, and filtered by the laboratory to remove suspended solids. The analytical results of the soil gas sample did not identify concentrations of CoCs above their respective IDEM R2 Shallow Exterior Published Levels. Based on the analytical results of the soil, groundwater, and soil gas samples collected, additional work associ
