Additional Property Attributes

The Property's development began in 1882, with public school buildings in the northeast and southeast corners and a dwelling in the northwest by 1896. By 1926, the northeast building expanded into Andover High School, and by 1938, a Sinclair service station and car dealership replaced the northwest dwelling. The school expanded in 1960, and the Property remained largely unchanged until the school was demolished in 2007. The east half is now vacant, while the west houses a former bus garage, which has been vacant for the past year.

A 10,000-gallon diesel UST, installed in 1985, fuels the local school bus fleet and is monitored with a Veeder Root system. The school district plans to replace this UST with an aboveground tank and remove the diesel UST. A 6,000-gallon gasoline UST, removed in 1993 without proper closure testing, was assessed in 2009, and monitoring wells showed no contaminants. The site has received BUSTR No Further Action (NFA) status for this UST.

The investigation identified six areas of concern on the Property:
IA-01: Former bus repair operations with an oil catch basin.
IA-02: Oil storage area and drains in the southeast garage.
IA-03: Former 6,000-gallon gasoline UST.
IA-04: Current 10,000-gallon diesel UST.
IA-05: Fill material in the former school building area.
IA-06: Groundwater impacts from the former auto repair facility and gas station.
IA-07: Historic service station/car dealership.

Summary of Conclusions:
Soil: Benzo(a)pyrene was detected above BUSTR Site Check Action Levels in one soil sample, though its connection to a potential diesel UST release is uncertain. Arsenic levels exceeded VAP DCSS for residential land use in nine soil samples, ranging from 15 mg/kg to 34 mg/kg, with a background concentration of 18.9 mg/kg in Trumbull County. Further background studies may help assess if these exceedances are due to prior land use or natural concentrations.
Groundwater: VOCs and PAHs exceeded drinking water standards in monitoring well MW-5, located near the former service station/car dealership. Arsenic exceeded its UPUS in wells MW-2 and MW-4, but elevated levels may result from turbidity. Further sampling and dissolved arsenic analysis are recommended.
Soil Gas and Vapor: No exposure risk from VOCs was identified in soil gas or vapor samples for residential or commercial receptors.
USTs: No evidence of a release was identified from the current 10,000-gallon diesel UST. No unknown USTs were found during the assessment, except for a possible underground holding tank or oil-water separator on the property's north side.

Asbestos Summary (July 2024):
Based on the inspector's observations, along with sampling and laboratory analysis, the following asbestos-related findings were made:
Window glazing: Found to contain trace amounts of asbestos but was determined not to be an asbestos-containing material (ACM). While removal is not mandatory before demolition, OSHA regulations require that these materials and associated hazards be communicated to anyone who may disturb or contact them.
Duct joint tape and duct paper: Presumed to contain asbestos. Since these materials do not exceed 50 square feet or 50 linear feet, they do not require removal prior to demolition.
Built-up flat roofing materials: Presumed to contain asbestos. These materials do not need to be removed before conventional demolition, as long as they do not become friable. However, if the materials are at risk of becoming friable during demolition, the client may choose to remove them to prevent exposure.
If any of the materials identified are to be removed before demolition, the abatement must comply with all applicable regulations and be performed by a licensed contractor.
