A Phase I Brownfields Targeted Assessment (BTA) was conducted for the City of Ottawa on a property with unknown environmental certainties which has prevented prospective purchasers from purchasing the property for redevelopment and reuse. Putting this property back into productive use will provide essential jobs and services to the community. Based on the Phase I report, ?Recognized Environmental Conditions? (RECs) were identified as: ?potential releases of hazardous substances associated with the historical use of the property as a former manufacturing facility including its former status as a RCRA Small Quantity Generator of non-halogenated solvents and trichloroethylene and the past use of a paint booth, and ?potential releases of hazardous substances and/or petroleum products from two north neighboring properties operating as a historical laundry and manufacturing facility and a small engine repair facility, and ?potential releases of petroleum products from two adjacent properties identified in the LUST database. Due to the potential for soil and groundwater impacts on the BTA property, a Phase II assessment was recommended. A NESHAP Asbestos Survey was also conducted as an additional scope outside of the ASTM 1527-13 Phase I assessment. Asbestos containing material (ACM) was identified in the building and abatement will likely be required prior to any renovation and/or demolition activities. The applicant has been advised to work with the KDHE Asbestos Control Section to comply with all Federal and State regulations with respect to the asbestos. The Phase II BTA was completed in June, 2014, consisted of advancing six groundwater borings using direct-push technology. Each boring was advanced to refusal at depths ranging from 25.5 to 30 feet below ground surface (bgs) with the exception of boring P-4 which was terminated at 16 feet bgs. Excluding boring P-4, temporary casing were installed in all groundwater borings and allowed to set overnight for the collection of groundwater samples. However, P-1, P-2, and P-6 remained dry and groundwater samples were not collected from these locations. Continuous soil samples were collected from borings P-2, P-3, and P-4, logged, and field-screened using a photoionization detector (PID). Discrete soil samples were selected for laboratory analysis based on PID results and visual and olfactory observations. A total of two groundwater and three soil samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals. Results of the Phase II identified petroleum contaminants in the groundwater above the KDHE Risk-Based Standards for Kansas (RSK) levels. In particular, results from groundwater sample P-3 reported benzene and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene concentrations of 90 and 21 micrograms per liter (ug/L), respectively, above the KDHE RSK residential levels of 5 and 8.44 ug/L. Dissolved arsenic and lead concentrations, 47 and 31 ug/L, respectively, were also detected in the groundwater above their KDHE RSK levels, 10 and 15 ug/L. Additional petroleum related contaminants (i.e., n-butylbenzene, sec-butylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, methyl tert-butyl ether, n-propylbenzene, and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene) were identified in the groundwater but at concentrations below the KDHE RSK residential levels. The groundwater sample collected from P-5, located along the north property boundary, also identified tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE) in the groundwater but at levels below the KDHE RSK. Such chlorinated solvent contaminants, are often associated with dry cleaning and other industrial cleaning operations, and as noted in the Phase I Report (January 2014), two north neighboring properties operated as a historical laundry and manufacturing facility and a small engine repair facility. No VOC contaminants were detected in any of the soil samples above laboratory report
