Additional Property Attributes

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) conducted a Phase I Brownfields Targeted Assessment (BTA) on a 2.9 acre property located at 139 N Penn Street in Salina, KS. The BTA was conducted for a private developer, with support from the City, who intends to redevelop the former hospital building into low-income senior housing. Based on the Phase I, �Recognized Environmental Conditions� (RECs) were identified as potential releases of hazardous substances and/ or petroleum products due to the former Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) status at the property; and the 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) contaminant plume migrating from the northwest and originating from the 501 North Santa Fe Street site (C5-085-70919), which is currently enrolled in the KDHE State Cooperative Program. Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) were removed from the BTA property through the KDHE Storage Tanks Program in 1990, 1992, 1996, and 2013. The Buried Tank Leak Assessment (BTLA) from the 1990 tank removal indicated that a �small amount� of contamination was created through the tank removal process. Approximately five cubic yards of impacted-soil was removed and the site was given a closed status. Based on the BTLAs from the 1992, 1996, and 2013 tank removals, no residual contamination exists in the tank basins and the sites were given a closed status. The 501 N Santa Fe site is located approximately a half mile northwest and upgradient of the BTA site. This property has known contaminant plumes of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and 1,2-DCA in groundwater, and the site is currently being monitored through the KDHE State Cooperative Program and has an Environmental Use Control. The 1,2-DCA plume extends the farthest southeast and has impacted PWS #11, which is located adjacent-west to the BTA site; however, based on the most recent groundwater monitoring data from January 2015, the plume appears to be reducing in size and concentration, and does not appear to be impacting groundwater at the BTA property. Based on the closed status of the former LUSTs at the BTA property, it is unlikely that the use of underground storage tanks at the property has impacted soil and/ or groundwater. Additionally, the 501 N Santa Fe 1,2-DCA contaminant plume is being monitored and remediated through the KDHE State Cooperative Program, and does not appear to be impacting the site based on the most recent monitoring data. The BTA property is hereby cleared for redevelopment. Notwithstanding, best management practices should be implemented if contamination is encountered during excavation and/ or redevelopment activities. As additional scopes outside of the ASTM 1527-13 Phase I standard, limited asbestos sampling, Lead-Based Paint (LBP) sampling, and mold sampling were also conducted at the two on-site buildings. The first building is the former St Johns Hospital with the address of 139 N Penn, and the second building is named the Abbey Building with an address of 148 N Oakdale. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were identified in both buildings and will likely need abated prior to renovation activities. The applicant will be advised to work with the KDHE Asbestos Control Section with regards to the asbestos. Additionally, LBP was identified in both on-site buildings and mold was identified in the St Johns Hospital building. Recommendations provided in the reports will provide the applicant with information on how to handle the identified LBP and mold.

Former Use: The property has been developed since at least 1914 as the St Johns Hospital with two on-site buildings. Current owner is the Salina Regional Health Center who obtained the property in 1996.
Enrolled: 02/25/2015
