Railroad No residences are located within 1,000 feet of the site Approximately 44,004 square <br /> feet of cold storage space, various maintenance buildings, and an office are located on the <br /> ' property Water is supplied by two on-site wells A septic system is located on-site <br /> ' 2.2 Previous Investigations <br /> Remcor, Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, conducted an environmental assessment in May, 1994 <br /> to determine the current environmental condition of the site Remcor's report, dated July 21, <br /> 1994, indicated that the potential for soil or ground water contamination existed at several <br /> locations on the property Of primary concern was a former underground gasoline storage tank <br /> ' that had been removed in the 1970's No information regarding tank condition, possible soil or <br /> ground water contamination, or subsequent investigations was provided, however, it was reported <br /> that the tank was removed because it was known to be leaking <br /> ' On August 4 and 5, 1994, Remcor supervised the drilling of seven soil borings Three of the <br /> borings were completed as ground water monitoring wells Both soil and ground water samples <br /> ' were collected for analysis of suspected or potential contaminants Based upon the information <br /> obtained during this investigation, it was determined that an impact had occured in the vicinity of <br /> the former gasoline tank, and that further investigation was warranted <br /> ' On August 24 and 25 1994 Remcor installed an additional seven soil borings and three <br /> g g <br /> monitoring wells to further define the lateral extent of soil and ground water contamination <br /> identified in the initial phase of work To date the lateral and vertical extent of ground water <br /> contamination have not been defined <br /> 2.3 Site Geology <br /> tThe subsurface geology of the site was determined by logging soil samples collected at various <br /> intervals during the intial and supplemental site investigations performed by Remcor, Inc The <br /> maximum depth of borings was 18 feet below grade <br /> Remcor reported that dark brown silt clay dominates the stratigraphy from within one foot of the <br /> P Y Y g PY <br /> surface to the bottom of the borings In general, fine sand was found within the silty clay unit <br /> near the bottom of the borings The moisture content increased with depth and reached saturation <br /> between 12 and 16 feet below grade <br /> CA95DE-029 <br /> American Geological Services, Inc <br /> 2 <br />
