6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> The results of our PSA indicated no obvious sources of, or evidence of, improper use or <br /> disposal of hazardous materials/wastes on site. <br /> Agricultural activities may have taken place adjacent to the property. The use of <br /> pesticides at these locations cannot be ruled out, but should not pose any health or <br /> environmental concerns. <br /> The McCormick&Baxter Creosoting Company approximately 3/4 mile to the north has <br /> massive ground-water contamination, but since the flow of ground-water is away from the <br /> subject site,the likelihood of subsurface contamination is negligible. Minor contamination may <br /> result from weed treatment on or along the railroad tracks. <br /> Review of regulatory information and discussions with regulatory agencies confirmed <br /> the presence of three facilities with leaking USTs. The three facilities are over 1/4 mile from <br /> the subject site and are under investigation by the Regulatory agencies. Based on the <br /> laboratory reports on ground-water sample 90-0817-1 Benzene was detected above the MCL <br /> established by the Board. However, based on information noted above, the approximate <br /> direction of ground-water flow and location of the borings, it is our belief that contaminates <br /> are from off-site sources and should pose no health or environmental impact to the site. <br /> Telic does recommend that if the client intends to use the ground-water for industrial <br /> uses that additional ground-water studies may be in order. <br /> Telic also recommends that import of fill from unknown sources cease. <br /> 11 <br />
