(CEI) performed this Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the Subject Property at 120 South Governors Avenue, Dover, Delaware (hereinafter, the Subject Property). The objective of this ESA was to document the presence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs)1, and, as applicable, Historical Recognized Environmental Conditions (HRECs) and Controlled Recognized Environmental Conditions (CRECs) in connection with the Subject Property in accordance with our approved scope of work, and in general accordance with ASTM E-1527-13 Standard Practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. CEI’s scope of work included review of historical use information, physical setting information, federal and state regulatory databases, and local government records, historical and on-site interviews, and a visual field reconnaissance of the Subject Property and adjoining properties. Further details regarding the scope, objectives, extent and limitations of our services are detailed in the text of this report. The Executive Summary is only a brief description of these ESA services, and the entire report must be read for a comprehensive and accurate understanding of findings, conclusions and recommendations. This report discusses the environmental condition of the Subject Property as of the date of CEI’s field reconnaissance. Recognized Environmental Conditions Based upon the inquiries, reviews and observations made during this ESA, as reflected in this report, the following known or suspected RECs, HRECs, or CRECs have been identified with a possible connection to the Subject Property: 1. Delaware Electric Signal (Formerly Donohos & Son Historical Paint Manufacturing), 145 South New Street: This Donohos site is located in close proximity south of the Subject Property. Records from the DNREC public databases recognize this property as a Site Investigation and Restoration Site (SIRS) and an underground storage tank site. Specifically, this site was previously used for paint manufacturing purposes and contained one underground storage tank and one aboveground storage tank. Reportedly, subsequent to paint manufacturing operations, both tanks were abandoned in place and are no longer used. A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed on the property in July 2004 by SIRS. In summary, the PA recommended no further action be taken under CERCLA concerning possible past contamination, since the site is capped with asphalt paving and the potential of migration of any contaminants is minimal. Also, the PA recommended further action should be conducted under the DNREC Tank Management Branch (TMB) to investigate the potential release from the underground storage tank located on the Donohos property. 1 Refer to Section 2.0 of this report for the ASTM definitions of RECs, HRECs, and CRECs. Compliance Environmental, Inc. COD-120SGovernorsAve-ESAI-Report.wpd City of Dover Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report March 13, 2019 120 South Governors Avenue, Dover, Delaware 19904 Page 2 of 21 A conditional No Further Action (NFA) letter dated December 10, 2007 was issued by TMB with regards to the tanks closed in place on the Donohos site. However, a shallow soil sample analyzed by the TMB had a lead concentration of 1,620 parts per million (ppm). This concentration exceeds the DNREC soil screening concentration for lead in soil (400 ppm). TMB found that the lead contamination may be unrelated to a petroleum release, since typically other gasoline chemical constituents are found in soil samples from gasoline tank releases. Therefore, TMB concluded that the lead contamination in the soil may be unrelated to a petroleum release and is more likely a result of the historic paint manufacturing at the Donohos facility. Due to the potential lead contamination at the Donohos site from paint manufacturing, TMB referred this site back to SIRB (now SIRS) for review and potential follow-up. Based upon the findings from the database search, the Donohos property located within close proximity to the Subject Property meets the ASTM E 1527-13 definition of a controlled recognized environmental condition (CREC). A CREC is a “recognized environmental condition resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls. An interview by CEI was conducted with SIRS project officials. CEI understands that no soil samples have been collected or analyzed since the initial soil sampling by TMB and no work has been performed to determine the extent of soil contamination from paint manufacturing activities at the Donohos site. Therefore, there is a possibility that since the Subject Property is within close proximity (within approximately 50-feet) of the Donohos site, soil contamination from the Donohos site may have migrated onto the Subject Property. CEI recommends that a Phase II, Environmental Site Assessment be performed on the Subject Property to determine any impact from the Donohos site prior to performing any land disturbance (i.e., removal of asphalt paving, soil excavations, demolition, etc.) or soil intrusive work on the Subject Property. Subject Property: Street: 120 S. Governors Avenue City: Dover County: Kent State: Delaware Owner: As of March 8, 2019, the current owner according to Kent County property information public database is Downtown Dover Development, CO. Size: ± 1.7763 acres Parcel: 2-05-07709-01-4400-00001 At the time of CEI’s field reconnaissance on March 8, 2019, the Subject Property was a square shaped parcel located in Dover, Kent County, Delaware. The property contains an occupied two- story building divided into two suites (Auto Plus and Kent County Community Action Agency, Compliance Environmental, Inc.

  • Cultural Contexts
    3.0 CULTURAL CONTEXTS 3.0 CULTURAL CONTEXTS 3.1 PRE-COLONIAL PERIOD OVERVIEW The following brief, general discussion provides an outline of the prehistoric cultural record of the Delmarva Peninsula as it is currently understood (e.g., Custer 1984a, 1986a, 1987, 1989, 1994; Thomas et al. 1975). The prehistoric archeological record of the Delmarva Peninsula can be divided into five major periods: • the Paleoindian Period (circa 14,000 - 8,500 yrs. BP); • the Archaic Period (8,500 - 5,000 yrs. BP); • the Woodland I Period (5,000 - 1,000 yrs. BP); • the Woodland IT Period (1,000 - 350 yrs. BP; and • the Contact Period (A.D. 1650 - A.D. 1700). 3.1.1 PALEOINDlAN PERIOD Native Americans first inhabited Delaware sometime after 14,000 yrs. BP, based on dates from Paleoindian period sites in the eastern United States (Custer 1989:81-86). It is believed that small family groups of Paleoindians lived a wandering existence, hunting in the shifting woodland and grassland mosaic of the time. Game animals may have included musk ox, caribou, moose, and the extinct mastodon; however, modem game animals, such as white-tailed deer, were also present in the region (Custer 1989:95-98). Skeletal evidence of extinct megafauna (mastodon, mammoth) and large northern mammals (e.g., moose, caribou) has been recovered from the drowned continental shelves of the Middle Atlantic region (Emory 1966; Emory and Edwards 1966; Edwards and Merrill 1977). The Paleoindian stone tool kit was designed for hunting and processing animals. Wild plant foods supplemented the diet. Distinctive "fluted" points, characteristic of the early Paleoindian period, show a preference for high quality stone (Custer 1984b).

  • The Impact of Redefining Navigable Waters Under the Clean Water
    University of Delaware From the SelectedWorks of Kate Miller Spring April, 2011 The mpI act of Redefining Navigable Waters Under the Clean Water Act Kate Miller, University of Delaware Available at: http://works.bepress.com/kate_miller/1/ THE DELAWARE WATER RESOURCES CENTER 2010-2011 The Impacts of Redefining “Navigable Waters” Under the Clean Water Act Delaware waters vulnerable to the loss of federal protection Primary Investigator: Kate Miller Faculty Advisor/Investigator: Dr. Janet Johnson For decades, the Clean Water Act has been the foundation for the comprehensive protection of our nation’s waterways. Unfortunately, in the last ten years, two Supreme Court cases have undermined the ability of the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to protect intermittent and ephemeral streams, as well as so-called “isolated” wetlands, all of which make up a significant and vital portion of the country’s hydrologic profile. This report examines the legal background of the cases and then utilizes GIS technology to demonstrate the potential ramifications for the waters in the State of Delaware, including both the physical and social consequences of a loss of federal protection. Mapping and measuring of intermittent and ephemeral streams by watershed indicates that roughly 21% of total stream miles in Delaware would lose protections. Four separate methods created to define the term “isolated” allowed for the identification (by watershed) of the State’s freshwater wetlands vulnerable to a loss of protection. The mapping of these definitions shows that between 32-49% of Delaware’s freshwater wetlands could be outside the realm of federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction.

Box 1715 Baltimore, Maryland 21203 Enactment of the Water Resource Development Act of 1986 provides our Nation with a framework for water resources development until well into the 21 st century. The law has made numerous changes in the way potential new projects are studied, evaluated and funded. The major change is that non-Federal cost sharing is specified for most Corps water resources projects. A new partnership now exists between the Federal government and non-Federal interests that affords the latter a key role in project planning and allows the Federal government to spread its resources over more water projects than would have been possible before. With the passage of this law, the Federal water resources program is in better shape than at any time in the past 16 years. The law authorizes over 260 new projects for inland navigation, harbor improvement, flood control, and shore protection—with additional benefits in water supply, hydropower and recreation. I hope this booklet gives you a glimpse of the extent, variety and importance of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water resources development activities in your State. JOHN S. DOYLE, JR.
