Additional Property Attributes

The Subject Property contained a roller-skating rink as early as 1884, and was vacant land by 1892. By 1904, a dwelling was present in the southern portion of the Subject Property, and by 1923 a bakery was present in the northern portion. By 1950, these structures had been replaced with multiple commercial buildings. Occupants included a printing and lithograph business, apartments, an appliance store, and a gasoline service station. According to the fire department, the underground storage tanks (USTs) associated with the gasoline service station were removed in the 1990s. The structures were demolished in 2009, and the Subject Property remained vacant through the time of the reconnaissance. Subsurface investigations were completed on the Subject Property in 2008 and 2009 (pre and post building demolition) to address the potential for contamination from the former gasoline service station and associated USTs, former dry wells, hydraulic lifts, and heating oil USTs. Analytical results from soil samples collected in 2008 and 2009 documented concentrations of various metals and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) measured above Part 201 Criteria in place at the time of this Phase I ESA in soil samples, and the Subject Property was identified as a facility. Additionally, measured concentrations of phenanthrene exceeded the Residential volatilization to indoor air pathway (VIAP) screening levels in place at the time of this Phase I ESA. At the time of reconnaissance, the Subject Property was vacant, grass covered land. A pole-mounted transformer was present on the eastern portion of the Subject Property.
The areas north and east of the Subject Property consisted of residential developments as early as 1884. A church was to the south and a retail shop was to the west. The site to the south became a park by 1923. By 1959, a furniture store was present to the east, with a gasoline filling station beyond, and a park was to the south. A post office was located to the west. The gasoline filling station to the east was no longer present by 1974 and was replaced with a retail shop. A baseline environmental assessment (BEA) was completed on the former gasoline filling station site in 2009, which documented multiple volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (specifically petroleum hydrocarbons) measured at concentrations that exceeded Part 201 Criteria. At the time of reconnaissance, the area to the north was residential, a hair salon was to the east, a park was to the south, and a post office and a parking lot for a bank branch were to the west.

This assessment has revealed the following recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Subject Property:
? The known contamination on the Subject Property and the potential for additional contamination to be present from former printing operations.
? The potential for migration of contamination onto the Subject Property from the former gasoline filling station to the east.
