Additional Property Attributes

The property is currently developed as a medical clinic with one, two-story commercial building located on the corner of South (S.) 4th Avenue and West (W.) Madison Street. The portion of the site that is not occupied by the building is a paved parking area that can be access by S. 4th Avenue, W. Madison Street, and the alleyway that borders the site to the north. The clinic has six exam rooms and a laboratory. The basement, formerly used as file storage, is currently unused but houses a sump pump, communication system and a water treatment system. The second floor is unoccupied office spaces.

Based on the historical resources reviewed, the site was within a developing urban area in the early 1900s. According to a 1906 topographic map, a rail line traversed through Paden City from the southwest to the northeast through the late 1920s, approximately one block south of the site. The first Sanborn map from 1930 shows the parcel 3.64 developed, with four gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs), a garage, and two storefronts. Parcels 3.65 and 3.66 remain unoccupied. The 1940s Sanborn map shows a storefront on parcel 3.66, with an address of 640 S. 4th Avenue. The 1950s Sanborn map no longer shows the gasoline tanks, but the storefronts remain. The 640 S. 4th Avenue storefront appears to have been demolished in the 1980s, and replaced with parking, as identified in aerial photographs.
Other addresses associated with the site throughout history include 640 S. 4th Avenue which was formerly a storefront on parcel 3.66.

This assessment has revealed the following findings in connection with the subject property.

Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs)
Historic USTs:
Four gasoline USTs were identified in the 1930 and 1940 Sanborn mapping on parcel 3.64. No closure documents or files were submitted as part of the Phase I ESA to review, and none were returned in the FOIA. It is unknown if the USTs are still located on the subject property, or if they were removed properly. These historic tanks have potential to cause a vapor risk to the site or to have impacted the subsurface soil and/or groundwater.
Other Potential Issues
Potential for Vapor Encroachment Conditions (PVEC)-
Tier 1 of VEC screening applies state and federal database records to identify those sites with the potential to affect subsurface vapor conditions. Tier 1 employs a 1/3-mile (0.33 mile, or 1,760 feet) radius for releases of non-petroleum products, and a 1/10-mile (0.10 mile, or 528 feet) radius for releases of petroleum products.

According to the EDR VEC assessment tool, a VEC could not be ruled out for the subject property based on database listings from the following property:

? The General Store, 501 S. Fourth Avenue (WV UST, UST FINDER)
383 feet east-northeast, higher elevation
o One 111-gallon permanently out of service UST.
o Tank contents are unknown.
Though the tank regulatory status is listed as ?closed?, there is no information regarding the USTs installation date, removal date, contents, or closure documents. The potential of this tank to have impacted subsurface conditions cannot be eliminated.

Asbestos: Based on the construction date of the building in the 1920s, the potential exists for construction materials in the building to contain asbestos (ACM).

Lead-Based Paint: Based on the construction date of the building in the 1920s, the potential exists for this building to contain lead-based paint (LBP).
