Additional Property Attributes

This 8,400 square foot site was formerly occupied by a theater. Fuel oil, used for heating the building, was stored in the basement. The basement flooded twice. The city asked the owner to address the flooding, and the owner used a sump pump to pump the rainwater, mixed with fuel oil, out of the basement to drain into the street. The city notified the local DNR office of this event. The building burned down in March 2022, and all that remains are partial walls, making the building structurally unstable. The city would like to acquire the property to use as a parking lot, but is concerned with the fuel oil contamination. Given the age of the site, the presence of other contaminants may also be possible.

The RECs are as follows:

-Petroleum storage in the basement, subsequent flooding of basement, and the pumping of petroleum/rainwater mix out of the basement into the city street.
-The potential impact of the building fire in March 2022.
-The potential petroleum impact from two gas tanks and the historical operations of a former gas station located adjacent to the east of the theater.
-The potential impacts from the historical operations of a garage located on the southwest adjacent property.

A subsurface investigation is recommended. An asbestos and lead-based paint survey is recommended; however, it is not feasible at this time due to the weakened building structure.

Three soil borings were advanced around the perimeter, with all of the borings ending in refusal before reaching basement floor depths. One soil sample taken from each boring. No groundwater was encountered in the borings. The only contaminant detected was acetone, with all concentrations below the Department's Default Target Levels. Based on the data collected, volatile organic compounds do not pose a risk to future use of the site. However, it is possible petroleum contamination is present beneath the basement floor. The BVCP recommends redoing the borings within the building footprint once the building is demolished.

A Phase II Addendum was conducted. The soil borings were converted to temporary monitoring wells to collect groundwater samples. Though soil boring logs indicated the presence of petroleum between 4 and 8 feet of depth, laboratory data indicate all soil samples, and all but two groundwater samples, exhibited concentrations of contaminants below the department's Default Target Levels (DTLs), as outlined in the 2006 Missouri Risk-Based Corrective Action (MRBCA) guidance document. Naphthalene and benzo(b)fluoranthene were found in groundwater above the DTLS, and benzo(b)fluoranthene was found above the target levels for domestic use. Given the low concentrations of contaminants, PE recommends no further investigation is warranted. As the soil boring logs appear to indicate that petroleum contamination is present, it is possible that the remaining fuel at the site is highly degraded; this would correlate with the low concentrations of contaminants detected in the lab samples. As the city has expressed a desire to turn the site into a parking lot, the department recommends installing a hard cap, such as concrete or asphalt, instead of a gravel surface. This would likely reduce the amount of product surfacing during rain events.
