---- - -- --- ------ ..... . - -------- <br /> Based upon the listing of the identified sites, the proximity of the identified sites to the subject <br /> property, and the inferred groundwater gradient, potential impacts from the above listed sites are <br /> possible. <br /> 7.0. CONCLUSIONS <br /> The present study was conducted to determine the potential for environmental liability associated <br /> with prior land use, existing on-site sources, and any potential off-site sources. <br /> 7.1 Areas of Further Concern <br /> Based upon information gathered to date, it is possible the soil on-site may have been adversely <br /> affected by historical operations as an autowrecking yard. Additional areas of the site which need <br /> to be addressed are the septic tank, the water supply well, the suspected hydraulic lift, the stack of <br /> railroad timbers, and the stained transformer on the power pole. <br /> A review of regulatory agency records did indicate the potential for environmental impacts to the <br /> subject property from off-site sources. Groundwater contamination is the most prevalent <br /> concern. Potential responsible parties have been identified for these potential off-site sources and <br /> they are under regulatory regulation. <br /> Of most prevalent concern with respect to actual or potential environmental problems from off- <br /> site property is the Fayette Manufacturing Corp. site located adjacent and east of the subject <br /> property. However, a subsurface investigation of potential soil and groundwater contamination <br /> associated with the former UST leaks has been performed, and quarterly monitoring of the <br /> groundwater on that site is being conducted. In additon, this site is under the regulatory <br /> jurisdiction of the PHS/EHD. <br /> 8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Further assessment of the subject property is recommended based upon information presently <br /> available. <br /> Due to the historical use of the site as an auto wrecking yard, Smith Enviromental recommends <br /> that a series of soil samples be collected from the shallow soil on-site for analyses of total <br /> recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and total xylenes; and <br /> cadmium, chromium lead, nickel and zinc. <br /> In addition, due to the length of time the site has been vacant, Smith Environmental recommends <br /> that the water supply well be inspected and the groundwater from the well be sampled to assess if <br /> it operates properly (i.e. has proper seal) and if groundwater from the well meets drinking water <br /> standards. In addition, Smith Environmental recommends that the septic system be inspected to <br /> assess if it operates properly. <br /> w:\96730-\ph1rpt.doc 10 <br /> K' H <br />
