The purpose of this Phase I ESA was to research the past and current use of the subject site and study area as well as to identify any environmental concerns with the potential to have impacted the subject site. Based on a review of historical sources, the Phase I Property was vacant with the addition of a gravel parking lot constructed in the mid 2000’s. No historical concerns were identified regarding the historical use of the subject site. The historical use of the surrounding lands consisted of industrial and commercial lands. Two (2) former bulker petroleum storage facilities (175 meters southwest and 180 meters northwest), two (2) former fuel service stations and several automotive service garages (40 to 105 meters north) were identified. Based on their separation distance and cross- gradient orientation, the above listed PCAs do not results in APECs for the Phase I Property. Following the historical review, a site visit was conducted. The Phase I Property is currently vacant with a gravel parking lot and several storage sheds located in the southwest corner. No potentially contaminating activities (PCAs) were identified on the Phase I property at the time of the site visit. The surrounding land use consisted of industrial and commercial land. Eleven (11) offsite PCAs were identified surrounding the subject site. The offsite PCAs refer to the existing asphaltic tar bulk storage facility, automotive service garages, printing facility, rail tracks, former bulk petroleum storage facilities and former fuel service stations. Based on separation distance and cross-gradient orientation in respect to the subject site, only the asphaltic tar bulk storage facility represents an area of potential environmental concern (APEC). Recommendations Based on the results of this assessment, it is our opinion that a Phase II - Environmental Site Assessment will be required for the subject site.
