There are no current cleanup activities.


Cleanup/Treatment Implemented: N
Cleanup/Treatement Categories:
Addl Cleanup/Treatment info: The results of the asbestos survey indicate ACM were identified in the Peyton Hall, which will require removal by a licensed abatement contractor prior to renovation activities. These materials include: * Black Mastic Material (HA2) - 50 Square Feet * Black Tar Material (HA4) - 600 Square Feet * 12" x 12" Brown Vinyl Floor Tile (HA24) - 800 Square Feet

Additional Property Attributes

Standard and other historical resources were able to document that the property was vacant land with a portion of a road until 1922 when the current Peyton Hall was constructed. The building was used as a dormitory until it was damaged by a tornado in 2002. The building has since been vacant and occasionally used for training drills by a local police department.

No RECs were identified during completion of this Phase I ESA, however, the following BERs (Business Environmental Risks) were identified:

* Based on the construction of the building, pre-1978 when Federal regulations banned the use of lead-based paint (LBP), there is the potential for existing paint to be lead based or contain lead. Several of the painted surfaces were observed chipping and peeling, likely from water-damage. It is understood that that building is planned for renovation or demolition.

* Suspect asbestos containing materials were observed in the building. Due to water damage, the materials were observed to be in poor condition. It is understood that significant interior renovations or possible demolition are planned.

* Suspect mold growth and evidence of water intrusion were identified on various building materials throughout the building. The source of the water intrusion is likely from building envelope issues, leaking pipes and roof leaks.

POTENTIAL CLEANUP ALTERNATIVES

The regulations require work practice standards designed to minimize and control the release of asbestos fibers during building demolition or renovation, waste packaging, transportation, and disposal. The objective of the asbestos cleanup is to reduce or eliminate the potential risk of airborne asbestos fibers to workers and the public both prior to and during demolition of the building.

In order to be considered effective, the remedial alternative selected for the subject property needs to minimize the potential for human exposure to ACM. Two potential alternatives have been selected for further evaluation and comparison:

* Alternative #1: No Action
* Alternative #2: Asbestos Removal and Disposal

Each alternative was evaluated for applicability to the subject property and its feasibility and is further discussed in the following sections.

Alternative #1: "No Action"

The "no action" cleanup alternative is included in the evaluation as a standard to compare other remedial action in order to compare and contrast any significant reduction in site risk, as necessary. For the "no action" alternative, the property owner would not take any action to abate or remediate the issues identified at the subject property and the asbestos would remain in the building. This alternative does not include a means to mitigate or eliminate potential exposure of building materials both during and following redevelopment and does not meet the objectives of the project.

Effectiveness: This alternative is not effective in controlling the release of contaminants or achieving project goals. ACM have been identified in the buildings; therefore, any potential demolition activities would release friable asbestos and thereby expose the workers and potentially the public in the area to a hazardous material as the asbestos became airborne and uncontained.

Implementability: The 'No Action' alternative is simple to implement since no activities will be conducted.

Cost: No direct costs are associated with this alternative; however, potential environmental and financial liabilities would not be addressed.

Alternative #2: Asbestos Removal and Disposal

This alternative would be required in support of building renovation. Safe removal for disposal of all inventoried chemicals and complete abatement and removal of ACM, in accordance with regulations, will reduce the human health risk. This alternative requires all contractors exposed to the ACM to be licensed abatement firms as regulated by MDEQ. Post renovation, ACM clearance samples will be collected i
