The subsurface investigation performed in the immediate vicinity of the existing on-site UST' s, and the subsequent analytical testing, did not reveal evidence for leakage from the tanks. The shallow subsurface assessment of the gravel-surface storage area did not reveal the presence of the compounds tested for. The two shallow exploratory borings were advanced in areas that were observed to have collected water or runoff. Chemical releases to the soil and groundwater have been documented at facilities located within 2000 feet of the project site, but not within the site itself. The extent of these chemical releases, and direction of chemical movement, have not been determined or verified by local or state regulatory agencies. Numerous sites in the immediate vicinity of the subject property have or have had problems associated with underground tank leaks; therefore, it is .apparent that groundwater migration of nearby chemical releases is the most significant potential pathway for chemical occurrences on the project site. The direction of groundwater flow beneath the project site is a significant factor in evaluating the potential site impacts from the Kearney-KPF, American Moulding and Millwork, or other possible contributor properties. The proximity of the reported contaminant releases with respect to the project site is sufficient to warrant further investigation effort at the site. Groundwater monitoring wells could be installed along the north and eastern property boundaries to assess the current groundwater conditions and to allow for early detection of possible off-site migration of contaminants into the project site. An additional monitoring well could be installed along the southeast portion of the boundary to monitor the existing underground storage tanks and to allow for determination of the groundwater flow direction and gradient in the shallow aquifer. LIMITATIONS The findings and conclusions presented in this report are based on a preliminary field reconnaissance, data obtained from the literature research, a limited subsurface investigation, and analytical testing. Collection of groundwater samples for analytical testing was not performed. This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted methodologies and standards of practice of the area. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the findings, conclusions and recommendations included in the report. BSI 8 &/�SSOCIlI('S
