Additional Property Attributes

The property consists of five parcels totaling approximately 0.46 acres. It includes a commercial structure featuring a convenience store, garage areas, office space, and a fuel canopy that covers underground storage tanks, fuel pumps, and a small canopy building. Historical records indicate the land was primarily agricultural or vacant grassy land until 1954 when the current structures were developed. A 1962 aerial photograph shows two suspect fuel dispensers in the northwest portion of the property. The fuel canopy was added in 1983.

The site has hosted various businesses, including a car wash from 1963 to 1974, an auto repair shop from 1977 to 2005, and a gasoline station from 1988 to 2020. Most recently, the property was vacant during the inspection, though it was last occupied in 2020 by Gas Mart, a filling station, a convenience store, and an auto repair facility. Environmental sampling and analysis revealed several concerns. Soil samples generally met Ohio EPA VAP standards, except for total chromium detected in boring B-9 (0-4 feet), which exceeded the more stringent hexavalent chromium standard. Although significant hexavalent chromium contamination is unlikely, further testing is recommended to distinguish between trivalent and hexavalent chromium, given the property's history. Elevated levels of naphthalene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, and benzo(a)pyrene were also found at multiple locations, with concentrations near the gasoline dispenser canopy potentially indicating a petroleum release.

Groundwater testing revealed elevated levels of RCRA metals exceeding drinking water standards. However, the high turbidity of the samples may have skewed these results, and further testing is required to confirm whether the metal levels are related to turbidity. A Ground Penetrating Radar/Electromagnetic (GPR/EM) survey identified three probable underground storage tanks (USTs) on the property, which must be removed or closed in accordance with BUSTR regulations.
