1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
KAS, Inc. (KAS) conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of land and premises at 37 Harper Savage Lane, in the Village of West Hartford, Vermont. The ESA was conducted pursuant to the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM E 1527-05). This assessment was conducted for the Town of Hartford. The owner of the property is Dayco, Inc. The user of this document is the Town of Hartford.
The property consists of an approximately 1.5 acre parcel with three buildings in West Hartford village. The property is on the east side of Route 14 and has road frontage on both Route 14 and on Harper Savage Lane. As of December 2012 the property was abandoned and not in use, having been impacted by floodwaters during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. The property was historically used for an excavation business, vehicle repair, contractors’ yard, and for Dayco operations which involve roofing and insulation.
The property is not included on any of the searched environmental databases utilized in this ESA. The adjacent property (West Hartford General Store) is a closed hazardous site according to the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. The surrounding area is a small village and once outside the village the area is mostly rural residential in nature.
Information obtained by KAS indicates that there were several underground storage tanks (USTs) used to store petroleum products, which were decommissioned in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Environmental closure assessment information was not available to KAS for any of the reported UST decommissioning. Further, KAS observed evidence of two USTs which may or may not be related to the three reported decommissioned USTs.
A floor drain system was identified in one building. The system reportedly has been plugged and no longer discharges to the environment. However, historic vehicle repair in the building may have led to subsurface contamination during the period when the drain system was functional.
There is reportedly an on-site dewatering system beneath the gravel parking lot which discharges to the White River. Sampling of this system’s discharge in 1997 indicated low levels of petroleum-related contamination was present at the time. The configuration of the system including where it is located and its lateral extent on the property is not known.
We have performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E 1527 at Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 11.0 of this report. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property except for the following.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont
1. Three on-site historic petroleum USTs closed in the 1980’s and the 1990’s, apparently without environmental assessments performed during closure. 2. Apparent gas pump shown on a property survey provided to KAS, which may or may not be related to the three USTs referenced above. 3. Evidence of a current or former UST located below the north building floor, which may or may not be related to one of the three historic petroleum USTs referenced above. 4. Historic vehicle and equipment maintenance operations performed on-site in connection with contractor’s businesses and several automotive repair shops. 5. Historic operations of a floor trough floor drain in vehicle maintenance areas with presumed on-site discharge. 6. Documented subsurface contamination data generated in 1997 in connection with an on- site dewatering system. 7. Current and historic petroleum USTs at the neighboring West Hartford General Store. Seven USTs have been documented on the property.
Four de-minimis conditions are identified which are not RECs, which do not likely present risk of environmental contamination rising to ASTM’s “Material Threat” status, and which if brought to the attention of an environmental regulatory agency, would be unlikely to elicit an enforcement action.. These include:
• the adjacent railway line abutting the property on its east side (PAH soil contamination is sometimes associated with operating and historic railway lines); • a reported 200-gallon AST owned by a snowmobile club, which was on the property following the August 2011 flood but which has since been removed; • two 275-gallon ASTs which were reportedly deposited on the property by flood waters, were observed to be empty, which do not appear to have operated on the property and which do not have associated visible evidence of spills or releases, as well as other containers observed on the property; and, • flood debris and silt, which may or may not contain trace levels of petroleum contamination.
This assessment was prepared by an environmental professional as defined by ASTM, and is believed to depict an accurate representation of the property’s environmental status as of December 2012.

3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
3.1. Location and Legal Description
The property consists of an approximately 1.5 acre parcel based on dimensions included in a site survey provided to KAS.3 The property is oriented north-south parallel to Route 14, and has road frontage on both Harper Savage Lane and Route 14. The portion of the property fronting on Route 14 is reportedly leased to the West Hartford General Store for parking. The property coordinates are 43:42:46 north latitude and 72:25:01 west longitude.4 The property is a small portion of land and premises conveyed to Clifford in 1945,5 and was developed with several structures as of the date of the earliest available historical reference used in this ESA (see Sections 4 and 5).6
3.2. Site and Vicinity General Characteristics
The property is located in an area of mixed light commercial and residential properties in West Hartford. The character of the area is predominantly rural. The area topography is gently sloped southwest towards the White River, which flows adjacent to and west of Route 14. Depth to groundwater is likely to be less than ten feet, based upon the presence of a sub-surface dewatering system beneath the property7 and the approximate elevation of the surface of the White River relative to the elevation of the subject property. The groundwater flow direction beneath the property is most likely toward the southwest based on the surface topography and the location of surface waters. The depth to groundwater and predicted flow direction were not confirmed during this Phase I ESA.
3.3. Current Use of the Property
As of December 2012 the property was abandoned and not in use, having been impacted by floodwaters during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.
3.4. Descriptions of On-Site Structures, Roads and Other Improvements
The property hosts three separate buildings, the north building, south building and a shed.
The north building is an approximately square, roughly 75’ x 80’ concrete block building on a concrete slab foundation. The northwest ¼ of this building is office space under renovation (two stories) and the rest of the building is industrial repair garage (one story with tall ceilings). There

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont is a roughly 15’ x 15’ concrete block appendage to the north building’s south side which formerly hosted parts storage and a bathroom. The east side of the north building was apparently built first, and then the west side of the building was added on later. The entire building is insulated and appears to have been heated. The north building also has several elevated balcony areas which appear to have been used for dry storage. The north building has a floor trough running east-west across the entire width of the building. This trough has been filled in with cement on the building’s north side and is open on the building’s south side. Reportedly, the outlet to the trough has been plugged. There are two steel pipes in the floor slab of the building which may or may not be indicative of a UST; these pipes are on the west side of the wall that separates the east and west sides of this building, and are on what used to be the outside wall of the building before it was added onto. There is a 3’ concrete tile on the buildings west side which is reportedly a sewer ejector pumping station. There is a concrete hatchway on the ground surface at the building’s south side which is reportedly connected to the sewer system, and there is a 4” PVC pipe emerging from the ground near the south side of the building and extending across the roofline which appears to be a septic vent. This building appears to be more than 50 years old.
The south building is an approximately 50’ x 80’ pole barn structure with a concrete slab foundation and steel siding. There is an attached shed roof on the building’s east side. There is no insulation and this building does not appear to have been heated. The building was mostly empty except for piled discarded asphalt roofing, a 275-gallon fuel oil AST that apparently was washed into the building with the flood water, and miscellaneous debris. Reportedly this building was moved from White River Junction in the early 1960’s.
The shed is an approximately 8’x12’ wood building on piers that is used to store lumber and other construction materials. It has chicken wire stapled to its inside walls and apparently used to be a chicken coop. This shed appears to be more than 50 years old.
All three buildings showed evidence of flooding to approximately 6’ depth. The north building had been mostly cleaned up although traces of river silt remained in nooks and crannies.
3.5. Current Uses of Adjoining Properties
The current uses of adjoining properties as observed from the subject property are as follows:
• North: Harper Savage Road, residential uses. • East: Central Vermont Railway, residential uses, Interstate Highway. • South: Residential uses. • West: Residential uses, abandoned town library, Route 14, and West Hartford General Store.
Differing past adjoining properties uses were not visually obvious.

A copy of the FirstSearch Search Report is included in Appendix E. A summary of the pertinent data contained in the First Search report is presented below.
Property
The property is not included in any of the searched environmental databases.
Immediately Adjacent Sites
The adjacent property (West Hartford General Store) is a closed hazardous site according to the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. Petroleum-related contamination was discovered on site in 1996.8 Contaminated soils were stockpiled on site and then spread on site. The site was then issued a “Sites Management Activity Completed” (SMAC) designation.
Seven registered underground storage tanks have been installed on the adjacent property9. Installation dates range from 1946 to 1996. Of the seven USTs known to have been installed, six have since been removed. The only remaining tank is a 3,000-gallon gasoline UST installed in 1996.
Other Sites
One other property is included in the FirstSearch report, this being the Clifford Property at 4775 Vermont Route 14, approximately ½ mile southeast of the subject property. This property is not

Dayco, Inc.
KAS obtained the following documents related to the property from the document user:
• Hazardous Material Property Survey filled out by Dayco, Inc. in January 2012 indicates: o From the 1950’s to 1996, the property was used as a shop for an excavation business; o From 1996 until present the property was used as a contractor’s yard, storage of building materials, car and truck repairs, etc.; o A 200-gallon above ground diesel fuel storage tank (AST) with concrete containment was on the property in January 2012; this AST was owned by the local snowmobile club; o A waste oil tank was removed in the 1980’s; o A heating oil tank was removed in 1996; o A diesel fuel tank was closed-in-place in the mid-1980’s; o It is not known whether any petroleum spills took place; and, o The survey makes reference to a Jaworski Geotech Inc. sampling report from 1997.
• Jaworski Geotech Inc. Water Collection System Sampling Report dated July 1997 indicates: o Property was in agricultural use prior to 1972; o Materials excavating company operated at the property from 1972-1993; o Three USTs were previously in use at the property to store diesel fuel, waste oil and heating oil; o A subsurface water collection system consisting of perforated PVC pipe is beneath the parking lot; water discharges into a sump thence to the White River; o Two samples were collected from the collection system using a bailer and were laboratory-tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH); o Concentrations of one PAH (fluoranthene) and two VOCs (toluene and p- Isopropyltoluene) were reported in the water system samples. The concentrations were below applicable groundwater enforcement standards (GWES) in effect at the time, and are below current GWES; there is no current GWES for p- Isopropyltoluene; o The report recommended that a copy be submitted to the DEC; it is not known whether this was done and whether a response was received.

West Hartford General Store
KAS obtained the following documents relative to the West Hartford General Store at the Vermont DEC interactive web site:
Letter dated December 31, 1997, concerning the screening and disposition of treated soils from a removed UST;10 and, Sites Management Activity Complete (SMAC) letter.11
These documents indicate that 3 cubic yards of contaminated soil were excavated and treated on site resulting from the 1996 UST removal, and that the SMAC letter was subsequently issued. A groundwater investigation was not conducted.
Clifford Property, 4775 Route 14
KAS obtained a copy of a subsurface site investigation report for the Clifford property, located on Route 14 approximately ½ mile south of the subject property.12 This report indicates that petroleum contamination was encountered on that property, and that the contamination is limited to a relatively small zone west of that property, between the property and the White River. This contamination is not likely to impact the subject property based on the information presented in the 2002 report.
Copies of all referenced documents are included in Appendix I.

6.3.14 Septic Systems
See 6.3.8.
6.4. Interior Observations
6.4.1 Current Usage
All interior spaces were visually inspected. The property appears to have been used for vehicle repair and storage. See Section 3.4.
6.4.2 Hazardous Substances and Petroleum Products
A 275-gallon steel AST typical of those used to store heating oil was observed inside the south building. This AST was not connected to any heating system, and in light of its presence inside an unheated building, is suspected to have been washed in by the flood waters. No other indications of hazardous substances or petroleum products were observed inside the buildings.
6.4.3 Storage Tanks
Two steel pipes were noted emerging from the north building garage floor. The pipes emerge at a location where the building was added onto, and which was likely out of doors at one time. The pipes may be indicative of a current or former UST below the building.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont
Clifford Loam and Gravel (1950’s to 1996), and previously, a barn and milk house for a dairy farm. Clifford worked on trucks and equipment there. • The property is served by an on-site well at the southeastern corner of the north garage. He is not aware of any testing done on the well water. The water does have sulfur in it, typical of wells in the area. • There are floor drains in the north building, floor trough filled in, outlets plugged. • Three USTs were documented on the property, two were removed and one was closed in place. A waste oil tank was removed in the 1980s. A heating oil tank was removed in 1996. A diesel fuel tank was closed in place in the mid-1980s. He is not sure of the exact locations. • Dayco uses isocyanite to make blown in insulation and this was stored on site during operations. • In 1997, a water sample was collected from a driveway dewatering well located on the property and low levels of contamination were found below standards. • He is not aware of any spills or releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products, environmental cleanups, litigation, orders or other actions.
7.2. User Interview
Ms. Lori Hirshfield, Director of the Town of Hartford Planning and Development Services office, completed KAS’ standard ASTM user questionnaire on December 13, 2012. A summary of information contained in the questionnaire is as follows:
• The Hartford town clerk’s files were checked and no indication of environmental cleanup liens, activity and use limitations, past, pending or threatened environmental lawsuits, administrative proceedings or environmental compliance notices were founds. • The town is aware of the adjacent property uses and indicates that the West Hartford Store’s UST has been removed. • The purchase price reasonably reflects fair market value. • Hartford Planning and Zoning records indicate that the property has been used by an excavating company, contractors’ yard, and warehouse, and has received approval to operate a flea market and ice cream shop. • The town is aware of the 1997 water sampling report and is not aware of any spills or releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products. • The town checked the Vermont Hazardous sites list and the search did not include the property. 7.3. Interview with Local Government Officials
KAS interviewed Lt. Dave Shropshire of the Hartford Fire Department via telephone on December 24, 2012. Lt. Shropshire confirmed that there are no recorded hazardous materials incident responses for the referenced location in the Town’s fire department database.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont
8.0 FINDINGS
Based on the information acquired during this Phase I ESA, KAS has identified seven RECs as defined by ASTM, and four de-minimis conditions. The RECs have potential to have resulted in subsurface contamination of the property and are further discussed in Section 9.0 and 10.0.
9.0 OPINION
KAS has identified seven RECs in connection with the property. Six are related to on-site conditions and one is related to an off-site condition.
1. Three on-site historic petroleum underground storage tanks (USTs) closed in the 1980’s and the 1990’s, apparently without environmental assessments performed during closure.
Three USTs were identified by previous assessors and the current property owner but no environmental assessment information regarding the UST closures was provided and none is believed to exist. The USTs include a waste oil tank removed in the 1980s, a heating oil tank was removed in 1996 and a diesel fuel tank closed in place in the mid-1980s. The two USTs closed in the 1980’s pre-dated state requirements for environmental assessments during UST closures, and the heating oil tank removed in 1996 would not have been subject to a state closure assessment requirement at the time if it were less than 1,100 gallon capacity. There is no indication on the state UST registry of a registered UST at the property so it is possible that the heating oil UST was 1,100 gallons or less. Any or all of these historic USTs have potential to have created subsurface contamination and without specific soil/water sampling at the UST locations, it is not possible to know whether contamination is present.
2. Apparent gas pump shown on a property survey provided to KAS, which may or may not be related to the three USTs referenced above.
A portion of a property survey provided to KAS during this work includes a “gas pump” location. In as much as none of the three decommissioned USTs were reported to contain gasoline, it is possible that the gas pump was related to a different UST.
3. Possible UST located below the north building floor, which may or may not be related to one of the three historic petroleum USTs referenced above.
KAS’ on-site observations indicated two steel pipes dropping below the floor of the north garage, reminiscent of vent and fill pipes used to service older USTs. It is also possible these pipes serve some other purpose; however, additional investigation would be necessary in order to determine if a UST is present. If a UST is present it would have potential to result in subsurface contamination. It is not known whether the UST is one of the three referenced above or whether it would be a different UST.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont
4. Historic vehicle and equipment maintenance operations performed on-site in connection with contractor’s businesses and several automotive repair shops.
Vehicle and equipment maintenance activities involve use of hazardous substances and petroleum products, possibly including chlorinated solvents, PCBs and other hazardous materials. Use and disposal of these substances may result in environmental exposure including releases to soil and groundwater. This type of exposure is separate from the discrete structures (USTs, floor drains, pumps) identified and could produce separate contaminated areas.
5. Historic operations of a floor trough floor drain in vehicle maintenance areas with presumed on-site discharge.
The floor trough identified in the north garage may have served as a receptacle for runoff and leaking petroleum and chemicals which, if introduced to the drain system, could have found its way to a subsurface disposal system. The northern part of the trough drain has been filled in and the south part of the drain system, while still open, has been reportedly plugged up and no longer can discharge to the subsurface. Historic discharge to a possible drywell or other disposal structure may have resulted in subsurface contamination.
6. Documented subsurface contamination data generated in 1997 in connection with an on- site dewatering system.
The 1997 water sample report indicates that contamination was found in samples collected from an on-site dewatering system. The levels of contamination were below GWES. However, this system reportedly discharges to the White River and a comparison with surface water discharge standards was not included in the report. The report recommended submittal of the information to the DEC but there is no indication that this was done. The contamination detected in the water system samples may or may not be related to one or more of the identified on-site structures and past operations. Without knowledge of the extent of the drainage piping and where it is drawing water from, it is not possible to know whether the reported water quality is representative of ambient environmental conditions around one or more of the identified structures (USTs, floor drains, pumps) or how representative this data is to the overall environmental condition of the property.
7. Current and historic petroleum USTs at the neighboring West Hartford General Store. Seven USTs have been documented on the property.
The West Hartford General Store is an inactive hazardous site according to the DEC. It is not known whether subsurface contamination is present there, and if so, whether the contamination could have affected the subject property. The portion of the property leased to the West Hartford Store for parking is directly adjacent to the most recent UST location (removed according to the Town but not reflected on the State UST registry). Moreover, with seven documented USTs at the West Hartford Store it is possible that one or more of the historic USTs were very close to, or located on the subject property since the West Hartford store property is small.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont
Four de-minimis conditions are identified which are not RECs, which may or may not present risk of environmental contamination rising to ASTM’s “Material Threat” status, and which if brought to the attention of an environmental regulatory agency, would be unlikely to elicit an enforcement action. These include:
• the adjacent railway line abutting the property on its east side (PAH soil contamination is sometimes associated with operating and historic railway lines); • a reported 200-gallon AST owned by a snowmobile club, which was on the property following the August 2011 flood but which has since been removed; • the two washed-in 275-gallon ASTs which do not appear to have operated on the property and which do not have associated visible evidence of spills or releases, as well as other containers observed on the property; and, • flood debris and silt, which may or may not contain trace levels of petroleum contamination.
9.1 Additional Investigation
An investigation into the presence or absence of a UST beneath the north garage floor (indicated by piping in the floor slab) and the possible presence of a floor drain drywell system, could be useful to verify or eliminate these RECs. No other additional investigations are deemed necessary to ascertain the presence or absence of RECs. Per ASTM E 1527-05, this opinion regarding additional investigations is only intended to convey those additional investigations that may be necessary to ascertain the presence or absence of a REC. It does not convey any recommendation relative to the need to evaluate identified RECs at the property.
10.0 CONCLUSIONS
We have performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E 1527 at Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 11.0 of this report. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property except for the following.
1. Three on-site historic petroleum underground storage tanks (USTs) closed in the 1980’s and the 1990’s, apparently without environmental assessments performed during closure. 2. Apparent gas pump shown on a property survey provided to KAS, which may or may not be related to the three USTs referenced above. 3. Evidence of a current or former UST located below the north building floor, which may or may not be related to one of the three historic petroleum USTs referenced above. 4. Historic vehicle and equipment maintenance operations performed on-site in connection with contractor’s businesses and several automotive repair shops.

5. Historic operations of a floor trough floor drain in vehicle maintenance areas with presumed on-site discharge. 6. Documented subsurface contamination data generated in 1997 in connection with an on- site dewatering system. 7. Current and historic petroleum USTs at the neighboring West Hartford General Store. Seven USTs have been documented on the property.
A recognized environmental condition is defined in ASTM E 1527 as “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater or surface water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimis conditions that generally do not present a threat to human health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies. Conditions determined to be de minimis are not recognized environmental conditions.”

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Dayco, Inc., 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont
This document does not address regulatory compliance issues and KAS makes no assurances relative to the federal, state or local regulatory compliance of the property (ref. Section 1.4). All appropriate inquiry as defined by ASTM E 1527-05 is not an exhaustive assessment of a clean property (ref. Section 4.5.2). A variable level of inquiry may be conducted depending on the specific characteristics and features of the property and the information developed during the course of the assessment (ref. Section 4.5.3). An assessment meeting or exceeding the requirements of ASTM E 1527-05 and completed less than 180 days prior to the date of acquisition or intended transaction is presumed to be valid (ref. Section 4.6). All appropriate inquiry as defined by ASTM E 1527-05 is not exhaustive and does not require assessment of historic uses more frequently than every five years (ref. Section 8.3.2.1).
11.4. Special Contractual Conditions
None.

SITE RECONAISSANCE CHECKLIST
KAS, Inc. Site Reconnaissance Checklist Phase I Environmental Site Assessment KAS Project No.: 512120285
Date: December 14, 2012
Site Name: Dayco, Inc.
Location: 37 Harper Savage Lane, West Hartford, Vermont
Inspector: Alan R. Liptak, CPG
Weather: Cloudy, cold, dry
Accompanied By: Jeremy Roberts, KAS Asbestos Inspector
Section 1. General Site Setting (ASTM E-1527-05 Section 9.4.1)
A. Current uses of the property (Section 9.4.1.1): Describe current property uses with emphasis on those likely to involve use, treatment, storage, disposal and/or generation of hazardous substances and/or petroleum products. Generate site sketch map (or obtain existing site plans). Include an estimate of the subject property boundaries. Include detail sketches if appropriate. Describe structures and other improvements on the property.
Property is abandoned and was impacted by flooding following Tropical Storm Irene. Property hosts three buildings, a “north” building and a “south” building, and a small storage shed. Indications of possible environmental contamination were observed and may include an historic UST and a floor drain system inside vehicle maintenance areas. Other suspect structures were reported to KAS to be related to an on-site septic system with an ejector pump system.
B. Past uses of the property (Section 9.4.1.2): To the extent visually evident, describe past property uses with emphasis on those likely to involve use, treatment, storage, disposal and/or generation of hazardous substances and/or petroleum products.
Past use of the property for vehicle storage and maintenance is apparent. There is a sign on the south side of the north building “Bumper to Bumper” Auto Customizing, Recondition and Detailing.
C. Current and past uses of adjoining properties (Section 9.4.1.3 and 9.4.1.4.): To the extent visually identifiable from the subject property, list current uses of adjoining properties with emphasis on those likely to indicate recognized environmental conditions on the subject property. If past uses of adjoining properties with such potential are evident list these also.
The current uses of adjoining properties as observed from the subject property are as follows:
• North: Harper Savage Road, residential uses. • East: Central Vermont Railway, residential uses, Interstate Highway. • South: Residential uses. • West: Residential uses, abandoned town library, Route 14, and West Hartford General Store.
Differing past uses of adjoining properties were not visually obvious.
KAS, Inc. rev Nov 2012 Page 1 of 7 KAS, Inc. Site Reconnaissance Checklist Phase I Environmental Site Assessment D. Current or past uses in the surrounding area (Section 9.4.1.5): To the extent visually identifiable from the subject property and public thoroughfares in the vicinity, describe general area development with potential to indicate recognized environmental conditions with the subject property.
The general area is rural, with some residential development and a few commercial/industrial enterprises. The general topographic slope near the subject property is westward toward the White River. Upgradient property uses include residences, fields, an interstate highway and a railway line, do not appear to present significant tangible environmental risk to the subject property.
E. Geologic, Hydrogeologic, Hydrologic and Topographic Conditions (Section 9.4.1.6): Describe the overall property setting. Describe natural bodies of water (including springs and seeps) and possible wetlands on subject property and indicate location(s) on site sketch map. Note presence of exposed bedrock on property grounds and indicate general location(s) on site sketch map.
The property is gently sloped toward the south. No wetlands, surface water bodies or bedrock outcrops were noted during the site reconnaissance. The property sits on a terrace of the White River and west of the property, across Route 14, the land drops sharply to the White River.
F. General Description of Structures (Section 9.4.1.7): Describe structures or other improvements on the property including number and size of buildings, footprints, number of stories each, approximate age of buildings, occupancy status, pavement, fences, foundations/ruins, utilities, product pipelines, and ancillary structures such as railroad spurs and power transmission lines.
The property hosts three separate buildings, the north building, south building and a shed. The north building is an approximately square, roughly 75’ x 80’ concrete block building on a concrete slab foundation. The northwest ¼ of this building is office space under renovation (two stories) and the rest of the building is industrial repair garage (one story with tall ceilings). There is a roughly 15’ x 15’ concrete block appendage to the north building’s south side which formerly hosted parts storage and a bathroom. The east side of the north building was apparently built first, and then the west side of the building was added on later. The entire building is insulated and appears to have been heated. The north building also has several elevated balcony areas which appear to have been used for dry storage. The north building has a floor trough running east-west across the entire width of the building. This trough has been filled in with cement on the building’s north side and is open on the building’s south side. Reportedly, the outlet to the trough has been plugged. There are two steel pipes in the floor slab of the building which may or may not be indicative of a UST; these pipes are on the west side of the wall that separates the east and west sides of this building, and are on what used to be the outside wall of the building before it was added onto. There is a 3’ concrete tile on the buildings west side which is reportedly a sewer ejector pumping station. There is a concrete hatchway on the ground surface at the building’s south side which is reportedly connected to the sewer system, and there is a 4” PVC pipe emerging from the ground near the south side of the building and extending across the roofline which appears to be a septic vent. This building appears to be more than 50 years old.
The south building is an approximately 50’ x 80’ pole barn structure with a concrete slab foundation and steel siding. There is an attached shed roof on the building’s east side. There is no insulation and this building does not appear to have been heated. The building was mostly empty except for piled discarded asphalt roofing, a 275-gallon fuel oil AST that apparently was washed into the building with the flood water, and miscellaneous debris. Reportedly this building was moved from White River Junction in the early 1960’s.
The shed is an approximately 8’x12’ wood building on piers that is used to store lumber and other construction materials. It has chicken wire stapled to its inside walls and apparently used to be a chicken coop. This shed appears to be more than 50 years old.
All three buildings showed evidence of flooding to approximately 6’ depth. The north building had been mostly cleaned up although traces of river silt remained in nooks and crannies.

1.1 Project Location
The subject property is owned by Erwin Clifford and is currently known as Jim Fielder Services, hereinafter referred to as the Site. The Site is located at 4775 Route 14 in West Hartford, Vermont. Figure 1 of Appendix A depicts the property in a regional perspective, while Figure 2 is a Listers’ Map of the property. Figure 3 is a site plan developed from field ties and the Vermont Ortho photographs. Photographs of the Site are provided in Appendix B. The coordinates of the Site are 43” 42.46’ north and 72” 24.92’ west. The coordinates were obtained from the National Geographic USGS Topographic Maps by Topo!B. The White River is parallel to Route 14 to the west and is approximately 150 feet from the Site.
1.2 Project Background
Two 1,500-gallon gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs) were closed-in-place circa 1990 or 199 1. The USTs are partially located under the building requiring closure in place. The tanks were filled with concrete. The UST facility also included a pump island with a single suction pump, which was removed during closure of the tanks. The tanks had not been used since circa 1985.
A modified Level I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was conducted on the Site in August 2002. Test holes were advanced at the USTs and the pump island and soil samples were screened with a photoionization detector (PID). Elevated PID readings were detected in the soil at the former pump island. No PID readings were detected at the closed-in-place USTs. As a result of the detection of petroleum-contaminated soil, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation was notified by the Site owner, Mr. Erwin Clifford.
This Initial Site Investigation (ISI) report has been prepared to fkrther assess the source of contamination, the lateral and vertical extent of soil contamination, the impact on groundwater, the potential impact to receptors, and the need for remedial actions.
1.3 Scope of Work and Procedures
Soil borings were advanced at eight locations on October 8,2002. Groundwater monitoring wells were installed at two of these boring locations. Drilling services were provided by M & W Soils Engineering of Charlestown, New Hampshire using industry standards. Pathways Consulting, LLC (Pathways) provided environmental monitoring during the subsurface investigations. Figure 3 is a site plan and depicts the soil boring and monitoring well locations.
Soil sampling was conducted using 1 %-inch diameter split bore sampling tubes. Split spoon samples were collected from ground surface to a maximum depth of 11.25 feet below ground surface (bgs). Soil samples were field screened for the presence of volatile
2 organic compounds (VOCs) using a Therm0 Environmental Instruments Model 580EZ PID. Soil samples were collected for laboratory analyses at locations where PID readings detected significant concentrations of petroleum-related compounds.
Groundwater monitoring wells were installed at two boring locations based on assumed groundwater flow directions and where groundwater appeared to be present. The monitoring wells were installed by drilling with 4-inch diameter hollow stem augers (HSA). The wells were constructed of 2-inch diameter PVC pipe with O.OlO-inch slotted screen and 2-inch diameter solid risers. Groundwater sampling included purging the monitoring wells a minimum of three well volumes. Purging of the wells was completed by installing dedicated %-inch polyethylene tubing and pumping the well with a peristaltic pump. Groundwater samples were collected in 40 milliliter vials, preserved with hydrochloric acid, and shipped to Aquarian Analytical, Inc. under proper chain of custody. A groundwater sample was collected from one of the monitoring wells on October 15,2002. The second well was dry.
A tape survey of the property was completed and used in conjunction with the Vermont Ortho photographs to develop a site plan. Static groundwater depths were measured during the sampling of the monitoring wells. Insufficient data was available to develop a groundwater contour map.
A review of the VTDEC intemet files was conducted on August 30,2002 to obtain background information on the Site and properties in the vicinity of the Site, including information pertaining to past releases of petroleum.
3 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
4 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
2.1 Site Description
The Erwin Clifford property, formerly known as Jim Fielder Services, is located at 4775 Route 14 in West Hartford, Vermont. Figure 1 of Appendix A depicts the property in a regional perspective, while Figure 2 is a Listers’ map and Figure 3 is a site plan. The property is identified on the Hartford Listers’ database as Lot 102/102-l on Map 2. The property is immediately north of the location where the Central Vermont Railway and Route 14 converge. Route 14 abuts the Site to the west, and the eastern property boundary is the Central Vermont Railway. The White River is located approximately 150 feet west of the property and across Route 14. The primary activity conducted on the property since circa 1945 has been automotive and truck sales and service. Prior to 1945 the property was believed to have been a farm. Two buildings are currently located on the Site. The Site is 3 acres in size.
The property is generally level. The Central Vermont Railway is elevated approximately 15 to 20 feet above the Site. Surface drainage on the property is generally toward the west. A storm drain was observed between the main building on the property and Route 14. The area around the main building is bituminous pavement and is in poor condition. The area north of the main building was gravel and apparently used for the storage of vehicles and equipment. A small stream forms the northern boundary of the property. New England Telephone Company maintains an easement for a telephone junction box on the northwest comer of the property.
The main building is approximately 8,670 square feet in area. The core of the building is a barn, which is believed to have been the original structure on the property. It is believed that four additions have been added to the original barn. Three of the additions were clearly visible and included a showroom on the south end of the barn, a multi-bay service area, with 14 to 16 foot ceilings to the north of the barn, and a drive-through service bay on the east side of the structure.
The building is a wood-framed structure with an asphalt roof. Except for the area above the former barn and former automotive showroom area, the remainder of the building is single story. The entire structure is a slab-on-grade concrete constructed building.
Two #2 fuel oil-tired hot air furnaces heat the building. Each furnace was supplied with fuel oil from a 275-gallon aboveground storage tank (AST) located inside the building. The ASTs were observed to be in good condition with no evidence of significant corrosion or leakage. Hot water is provided from an electric hot water heater.
The second structure on the property is a wood-frame, steel sided, single story storage building. The building is constructed on concrete pillars with a wooden floor. The building is 30 feet in width and 48 feet in length. A lo-foot by 15.5foot pole, open sided, lean-to is attached to the north end of the building.
5 The Site is bordered to the east by the Central Vermont Railway Company rail line, and by Route 14 to the west. The railroad and Route 14 converge to form the southern end of the property. The abutting property to the north is residential and the property on the west side of Route 14 is mixed use of residential and commercial. The West Hartford Post Office is located in the building on the west side of Route 14.
The property is served by an on-site bedrock water supply well and a subsurface wastewater disposal system which is located on the property across Route 14 to the west. The bedrock water supply well is located inside a service bay on the southeast side of the building.
2.2 Historical Use
The property has been used for business associated with automobile sales and service from approximately 1945 to present. From circa 1945 to 1952 Mr. Clifford leased the property and sold and serviced used cars. In 1952 Mr. Clifford purchased and operated a Dodge dealership at the Site until 1980. Philip Mans, who operated a used automobile dealership, owned the property from 1980 to 1991. The property was repurchased by Mr. Clifford in 1991 and leased to Jim Fielder Services, a truck service center until 2002. A 50-year Site ownership history is included as Table 1.
2.3 VTDEC File Review
A review of the VTDEC intemet files was conducted on August 30, 2002. Jim Fielder Services was listed on a small quantity hazardous waste generator. No other information pertaining to the Site or abutting properties was located in the VTDEC database. 3.0 INVESTIGATIONS AND TESTING RESULTS 3.0 INVESTIGATIONS AND TESTING RESULTS
3.1 Site Utilities
The Site is located in a rural area with abutting properties to the north, west, and east utilized as residential or commercial/residential. There are no public underground utilities on the Site. An underground telephone conduit is located within the State of Vermont road right-of-way along the west side of the Site. The Site is served by an off- site subsurface disposal system and a bedrock water supply well. The bedrock water supply is located in the southeast side of the building.
3.2 Soil Boring Program and Sampling Results
Eight soil borings were advanced at the Site on October 8,2002. M&W Soils Engineering (M&W) advanced the borings with Pathways providing environmental monitoring and record keeping. Soil boring locations are shown on Figure 3 of Appendix A. The borings were advanced with a truck-mounted drill using 1 %-inch diameter split spoons and 4-inch diameter HSA.
Split spoon samples were collected from approximately ground surface into the saturated zone, or refusal, to a maximum depth of 11.25 feet below ground surface (bgs). The soil borings were placed at locations to establish potential impacts on soil and groundwater in the immediate area of the UST, pump island, and at locations presumed to be upgradient, within the potential area where petroleum contamination would be most likely to occur, and at potential downgradient locations. Soil samples were visually evaluated and the soil descriptions were recorded on logs. Copies of individual boring logs from Pathways and M&W are included in Appendix D.
Samples from the split spoons were screened in the field using a Therm0 Environmental Instruments Model 580EZ PlD calibrated with a 100 parts per million (ppm) isobutylene standard. Soil samples were collected in plastic bags, warmed to approximately 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and screened using the headspace method. Field screening results are summarized in Table 2 of Appendix C and include data collected during the Level I Environmental Site Assessment conducted in August 2002.
Soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis in accordance the EPA SW 846 Method 5035. Soil samples were analyzed by EPA Methods 8015 and 8260B for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), respectively. Samples for laboratory analyses were collected at borings B-2 and B-3/MW-1 at depths of 7 to 9 feet bgs and 4 to 6 feet bgs, respectively. These two borings were the only ones where PID readings were detected.
Laboratory results from the soil samples are summarized in Table 3. Copies of individual laboratory reports are included in Appendix E.
8 3.3 Monitoring Well Installation and Groundwater Sampling Results
Groundwater monitoring wells were installed at two boring locations based on assumed groundwater flow directions. Figure 3 depicts the locations of the wells. The monitoring wells were installed by drilling with 4-inch HSA and constructed in accordance with good engineering practices. The wells were constructed of 2-inch diameter PVC pipe with O.OlO-inch slotted screen and 2-inch diameter solid risers. The length of the screen was such that the screened portion of the well penetrated the saturated zone and extended above the estimated groundwater table. The annular space around the screened section of the well was backfilled with silica sand and sealed above the water table with a 6 to lo- inch thick bentonite clay seal. Removable wing caps and flush mount cast iron road boxes were installed at the ground surface. Well construction details are included in Appendix D.
Groundwater sampling was conducted at the monitoring wells on October 17,2002. Monitoring well MW-2 was dry. The sample from the MW-1 was analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 8260B. Groundwater samples were collected in 40 milliliter glass vials, and preserved with hydrochloric acid. All samples were shipped on ice to Aquarian Analytical, Inc.
Table 4 of Appendix C provides a summary of the results of groundwater sample analyses for VOCs. Copies of individual laboratory reports are included in Appendix E.
Monitoring well MW-1 is located in an apparent downgradient location to the USTs and former pump island. The groundwater sample collected on October 17, 2002 exceeded the Vermont Primary Groundwater Quality Standards (PGQS) for benzene, ethylbenzene, 1,2,4 trimethylbenzene, and 1,3,5 trimethylbenzene.
MW-2 is located in a presumed upgradient location. The well did not contain groundwater during sampling in October.
9 4.0 HYDROLOGY
10 4.0 HYDROLOGY
4.1 Surficial Geology
The overburden soil on the Site ranges from approximately eight feet below ground surface (bgs) to 11.25 feet in depth as determined by advancing eight soil borings on the property and on the west side of Route 14. Subsurface conditions encountered in the context of the soil boring program indicate medium and tine sand with some silt. Loose weathered bedrock was encountered at each of the eight borings. The weathered bedrock varied from 0.2 to 1.9 feet in depth across the Site. The bedrock became denser below these depths. Copies of individual boring logs are included in Appendix D.
4.2 Site Hydrology
Groundwater depths were measured during the sampling event conducted in October 2002. Monitoring well MW-1 contained approximately one foot of groundwater while MW-2 was dry. Insufficient data is available to provide a groundwater contour map. The surrounding topography, and the location and flow direction of the White River suggests that groundwater is likely flowing in a southwesterly direction. Unusually dry conditions during the summer months likely impacted groundwater conditions.
4.3 Preferential Migration Pathways
The soil boring program encountered elevated concentrations of petroleum-contaminated soil at borings B-2, B-3, and B-ESA2 by field screening soil with the PlD. Confirmatory soil samples for laboratory analyses confirmed the presence of petroleum-contaminated soil. B-2 and B-3 are in the presumed downgradient location to the former pump island. Soil borings advanced between the former pump island, building, and the closed-in-place USTs did not reveal petroleum contamination by field screening.
Soil borings were not advanced in Route 14 or between the buried telephone conduit and the edge of the road. Three soil borings were advanced on the west side of Route 14, and no PID readings were detected in soil samples. It appears that the gross soil contamination is likely contained to the area around the former pump island. Figure 4 is an isoconcentration map depicting the estimated soil contaminant plume based on PID readings and Figure 5 is an isoconcentration map depicting compound specific contaminant plumes based on laboratory analyses of soil samples.
Groundwater monitoring at MW-1 detected elevated dissolved petroleum contamination. The groundwater exceeded the Vermont PGQS for benzene, ethylbenzene, 1,2,4 trimethylbenzene, and 1,3,5 trimethylbenzene. Soil conditions observed during advancement of borings on the west side of Route 14 did not indicate the presence of groundwater. Therefore, monitoring wells were not installed at these locations. There may be other subsurface conditions which were not defined during the boring program which may restrict the flow or redirect the flow of groundwater in an east to west direction.

5.1 Data Analysis
5.1.1 Known Containment Sources
The advancement oftwo soil borings on the Site during August 2002 for an Environmental Site Assessment and eight borings completed in October 2002 suggest that the presence of petroleum-contaminated soil is associated with the former pump island. No PID readings were detected at a boring advanced at the west end of the closed-in-place USTs; however, elevated PID readings were detected below the former dispenser and at two locations immediately west of the dispenser island. The dispenser island likely contained a suction lift pump. These pumps were prone to leakage from seals on the pumps, improper maintenance procedures during changing of filters, and leaking pipe fittings.
5.1.2 Data Trends
5.1.2.1 Current Contaminant Plume
Laboratory analyses of two soil samples collected during the IS1 and soil samples field screened during the IS1 and Level I ESA suggest that the on- site petroleum-contaminated soil is limited to an area approximately 18 feet by 20 feet as depicted on Figure 4. Figure 4 depicts the soil contamination extending within the Route 14 right-of-way.
Groundwater monitoring conducted at MW-1, located in the source area, indicated the presence of dissolved petroleum contaminants. Monitoring well MW-2, presumed to be in an upgradient location, was dry during sampling in October 2002. Dry soil conditions were observed to bedrock at borings B-6, B-7, and B-8; therefore, no monitoring wells were constructed at these locations. No PID readings were recorded at these boring locations, suggesting that the petroleum contamination has not migrated to the west side of Route 14. The extent of soil and groundwater contamination within the Route 14 right-of-way was not confirmed during subsurface investigation. Figures 4,5, and 6 depict isoconcentration contaminant plumes developed from mathematical interpretation of data from borings and monitoring wells on each side of Route 14.
The area between the building and Route 14 is bituminous pavement. Precipitation runs off the Site to a storm basin northwest of the former dispenser island. Therefore, the petroleum contamination in the vadose zone is not significantly influenced by precipitation events.

5.2 Potential Receptors
5.2.1 Drinking Water Supplies
The water supply for the Clifford property is a bedrock well which is located inside the eastern side of the building. A water sample was not analyzed from the water supply well for this ISI. The residential/commercial property on the west side of Route 14 receives potable water from a spring on the east side of Route 14 between the Central Vermont Railway and Interstate I-89. This water source should not be influenced by the release on the Clifford Site.
14 6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
15 6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Soil and groundwater samples collected during the IS1 and the Level I ESA conducted in August 2002 indicated petroleum contamination is present around the former dispenser island on the Clifford property. The UST facility was last operated in circa 1985 and the USTs were closed-in-place in 1991.
Two soil samples collected for laboratory analyses indicated elevated concentrations of petroleum-related compounds including alkylbenezes, ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, naphthalene, toluene, xylenes, and total petroleum hydrocarbons. There are no generic quantitative soil standards for determining the potential environmental impacts from the measured soil contamination levels. Applying generic risk assessment soil standards developed by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to this Site would result in potential contaminant concentrations for alkylbenzenes and naphthalene that could adversely impact groundwater.
Soil screening completed during the IS1 and Level I ESA at three boring locations resulted in elevated concentrations of petroleum-related compounds detected with a PID. The PID readings for gasoline-contaminated soil were within the Agency Guidelines for Petroleum Contaminated Soils and Debris Soil Guideline Thresholds of 100 - 1,000 ppm.
One round of groundwater monitoring was conducted during the ISI at monitoring well MW-1. MW-2 was dry during the sampling event. Laboratory results from MW-1 indicate, dissolved petroleum contamination exceeding the PGQS for benzene, ethylbenzene, 1,2,4 trimethylbenzene and 1,3,4 trimethylbenzene. Soil and groundwater laboratory data and field screening data suggest that the contaminant plume is localized to the area around and immediately west of the former pump island. GAY II LA Ykt! ii Qr./L E ! Potential receptors to the contamination include the bedrock water supply source to the Site and the White River. Water samples from the on-site bedrock water supply well were not evaluated during the ISI. The water supply serving the property to the west and across Route 14 is located on the east side of Route 14 and upslope of the release area. The water supply is reported to be a spring. Visual observations of the riverbank did not reveal locations where the groundwater released to the ground surface.
The release of petroleum at the Clifford Site was likely associated with leaking piping or the suction pump at the dispenser. The UST facility was last operated in circa 1985 and the USTs were closed-in-place in 199 1. After 17 years significant petroleum contaminant levels are present in the vadose zone and within the saturated zone.
It is recommended that the soil remediation be considered at the Site. The soil contaminant plume from the former dispenser island to the underground telephone conduit is approximately 450 square feet in area. The estimated volume of contaminated soil in this area is 174 cubic yards. Petroleum-contaminated soil should be excavated from this area and polyencapsulated on-site for natural degradation to occur. Additional groundwater monitoring is recommended at MW-1 after soil remediation is completed.
