Additional Property Attributes

Standard and other historical resources were able to document that the property was developed with a dwelling, stable and outbuildings prior to 1900. A steam laundry building was added to the northern portion by 1905 and a water tank was constructed in the northeastern portion. A boiler house was constructed in the eastern portion by 1910. The dwelling and outbuldings were demolished by 1926 and the steam laundry building was demolished by 1927. Fant Hall was constructed in approximately 1926 and Pohl Recreation Building was constructed in approximately 1927. The property has contained the two college buildings since 1927 although Fant Hall has been unoccupied since 2003 and Pohl Recreation Building has been unoccupied since 2012.

PM was unable to determine if dry cleaning operations were performed in conjunction with the steam laundry. However, based on the length of time since potential operations occurred (98 years), PM has not identified this former steam laundry operation as a recognized environmental condition (REC).

Although no RECs were identified, the following Business Environmental Risks (BERS) were identified during completion of this Phase I ESA:

* Based on the construction of the buildings, 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 buildings are planned for renovation or demolition.

* Suspect asbestos containing materials were observed in the buildings. 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 two buildings. 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.
