Inc., conducted a Modified Level 1 Hazardous Materials Corridor Study (HMCS) for the NE Jackson School Road (NE Grant Street to NW Evergreen Road) Project Corridor (the Project Corridor) on behalf of Washington County (the County) and the Quincy Engineering project design team (Quincy). The purpose of the assessment was to identify potential hazardous material conditions that could impact project design and construction. A detailed project description is included in Section 2.0 of this report. We did observe one Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) in connection with the proposed Project Corridor. Our research identified a historical automotive station located approximately 185 feet east of the Project Corridor at 738 NE Cambrey Court. While there are no reported incidents or spills at this site, potential contaminants of concern to the Project Corridor would include petroleum hydrocarbons. Due to this site’s location cross-gradient from the Project Corridor, we have considered this to be a REC. However, given the anticipated shallow excavation work along the Project Corridor, we believe there is little risk of encountering contaminated groundwater and/or soil from the historical auto station located at 738 NE Cambrey Court during reconstruction planned for the NE Jackson School Road Project Corridor. In our opinion, no further investigation is warranted.

The general vicinity of the project is presented in Figure 1. This HMCS has been performed in general accordance with American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidance and generally conforms to the scope and limitations of, but does not represent, a full Phase I Environmental Site Assessment per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 1527-13: Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. Our scope of services for the preparation of this HMCS is included in Appendix A. The objective of this HMCS is to develop a professional opinion as to the potential presence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC). The term “recognized environmental conditions” means the presence
