Additional Property Attributes

The site is currently 24.3-acres of both developed and vacant land and consists of Marion County Property Appraiser Parcel No. 21944-000-00. For site and remediation purposes, the parcel was divided into two parts, west (Parcel A) and east (Parcel B). Parcel A of the site is improved with the Mary Sue Rich Community Center, a paved parking lot to the southwest of the community center building, and a stormwater retention pond to the northwestern portion of Parcel A. Parcel B consisted of vacant land.

The site, Parcel No. 21944-000-00, was occupied by commercial structures including a charcoal plant from approximately 1975 to 2018. Structures associated with the plant were razed in 2018 and the land had been vacant until 2022, at which time a municipal building (Mary Rue Rick Community Center at Reed Place) was constructed on the western portion of the site (Parcel A).

Property to the northwest of the site has been undeveloped land since at least the 1940s and past that to the north was a golf course. To the north-northeast of the site consisted of undeveloped land until the mid-1950s when they were redeveloped with industrial facilities. Operations increased over time and in the 1990s the site's charcoal operations were present on the northeastern properties. After charcoal manufacturing operations ceased in 2006, less activity was noted from 2007 until the present. The northeastern property is currently occupied by a pellet manufacturer. Adjoining properties east of the site consist of residential buildings that were developed since the 1950s. The site is adjoined by a roadway (NW 17th Place) lined with residential properties, which were developed since the 1970s. Southwest of the site, is an electrical substation that was constructed in the early 1970s. The western adjoining properties have consisted of residential properties since the 1970s. This former charcoal plant use does not serve as an environmental concern to the site due to extensive environmental assessment and remediation work that had taken place and was completed in 2011.

Because of this northern nearby golf course, a portion of Parcel A of the site was identified on the Ground Water Contamination Areas (GW CONTAM) database based on its proximity to a list of areas of known groundwater contamination. According to the FDEP, 38 counties have been delineated primarily for the agricultural pesticide ethylene dibromide (EDB). The FDEP further stated that permitted water wells in these areas must meet specific well construction criteria and water testing prior to use. This dataset only indicates the presence or absence of specific groundwater contaminants and does not represent all known sources of groundwater contamination in the state of Florida. According to the FDEP's Ground Water Contamination Areas GIS map, an EDB plume is depicted on the site. This plume is based on a 1,000-foot protective setback from a contaminated well. According to additional data obtained from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), a private potable water well approximately 650 feet north (PLUWID: 420004301, installed at a terminal depth of 77 ft bgs) on the former Pine Oaks Golf Course and a residential well approximately 0.33 miles southwest (420074401, terminal depth data not available) were sampled in 1983 and 1996, respectively. Both wells had EDB exceedances above the respective GCTL.

The objective of this Phase II was to assess the recognized environmental conditions (RECs) identified in the Terracon Phase I ESA dated February 6, 2024.On May 7 through May 8, 2024, three temporary monitoring wells were installed and sampled, based on the ESA findings, soil was not investigated as part of this scope of work, and the goal was to assess groundwater onsite within the interval of which it is first encountered to support future commercial development and grant planning efforts.

Based on the results of this investigation, EDB groundwater impacts were not identified w
