Additional Property Attributes

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) findings (May 2017) indicated that Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) and Vapor Encroachment Conditions (VECs) were present, including an automotive repair facility, a retail petroleum facility, and two dry cleaners formerly located on the subject property. Additionally, an offsite dry cleaner was listed in close proximity and in an upgradient/crossgradient location relative to the subject property. The Phase I report indicated that, although a previous Phase II investigation occurred at the subject property, data gaps occurred in the number and location of soil samples collected, and no groundwater was obtained for evaluation. Recommendations included conducting additional investigation to evaluate identified RECs and VECs. A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was recommended to evaluate the subject property for potential underground storage tank (UST) locations. The Phase I ESA contractor was not able to access the quadplex structure basement and residential units a 2504 Swope Parkway, or the retail structure at 2512 Swope Parkway. A Limited Phase II ESA was completed in October 2017 through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) Program/Voluntary Cleanup Section (not part of the Vacant Properties Coalition Assessment Grant). The GPR Survey did not identify evidence of USTs at the site. Soil analytical results indicated that limited petroleum hydrocarbons (diesel- and oil-range) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exceeded laboratory detection limits at generally low concentrations, suggesting minimal impact from petroleum hydrocarbon use. It was concluded that the absence of dry cleaning compounds (i.e., VOCs) did not support a conclusion that the area was used for disposal of spent dry cleaning fluids. The absence of groundwater at the site supported the conclusion that if present, would not be significantly impacted by these contaminant types. Lead exceeded Missouri Risked-Based Corrective Action Default Target Levels in soil samples; however, none exceeded Tier 1 Risk-Based Target Levels(RBTLs). It was concluded that all detectable lead concentrations are indicative of naturally-occurring concentrations. As the subject property is to be developed as a child care facility, evaluation of current of future exposure pathways did not identify concentrations exceeding Residential Use RBTLs. The Emmanuel Family Child Development Center (EFCDC) is a non-profit, licensed and accredited early childhood program. EFCDC proposes to construct a 25,000 square foot building facility on the subject property. They intend to expand their early childhood program to include an additional 133 new early quality education slots, 37 new jobs, and house social services like Samuel U. Rogers, United Services, Myers Dental Clinic, and Adult Basic Education to provide wrap around services to help reduce the barriers low income families experience because of losing income when they must take off work. Through a collaborated effort, EFCDC has raised 95% of the $7 million funding. However, without environmental assessment, the project could not have proceeded to predevelopment and design. The project will catalyze additional investments in the community, such as an increased workforce and potentially other economic development projects. EFCDC?s project will aid in the elimination of blight, job creation and revitalization of the community.

Former Use: The subject property consists of five lots with a total of 1.80 acres of land. The western parcels have been developed with an approximately 960 square foot vacant retail store built in 1947 and two quadplexes including a 3,972 square foot structure built in 1964 and a 4,470 square foot unit built in 1963. The east portion of the subject property contains vacant land, formally developed with a multitenant structure and automobile sales facility and parking lot. The buildings on the east portio
