* r �y1VGI Southwest, inc. is situated southeast of the intersection of Port Roads 21 and M, approximately 2,100 feet south of West Washington Street, as shown on the Site Vicinity Map presented as Figure 1. The site is a vacant parcel of land owned by The Port. The site was abandoned several years ago, and much of the ground surface is covered by weeds and native vegetation. The layout of the site is depicted in the attached Site Plan included as Figure 2. There are several abandoned buildings as well as equipment in disrepair on the property. The buildings include a railcar wash rack, an office building and a processing plant building. The proposed area of investigation is in the south part of the site, in the vicinity of the former office building and processing plant. The processing plant is a large, two-story, corrugated metal building, and the office building is a wood-frame, shake-roof structure. The location of the proposed east interchange tracks and the proposed sampling locations are shown on Figure 2. Within the processing plant building there are numerous ASTs, associated metal piping, processing equipment, staircases, scaffolding, platforms, and walkways. A large Cleaver Brooks boiler is located along the south side of the plant. A portion of the western side of the plant is a shop, apparently used at one time for the repair and maintenance of vehicles. There is a small aboveground tank in the shop area, as well as some old vehicle oil filters. Between the processing plant and office buildings in the southern portion of the site there are a number of debris piles. The debris includes concrete blocks and hardened concrete slurry, chain link fencing, asphalt, metal and plastic scraps, wood, pipes, wires, containers and other unidentified materials. The ground surface in many areas of the southwest part of the site is covered with what appears to be hardened concrete slurry. Tire tracks are imprinted in the concrete in some areas, and metal parts and other debris are embedded in the concrete in other areas. Much of the southwestern part of the site is covered with weeds and other vegetation, making it difficult to observe the ground surface;however, it appears to be generally uneven and hummocky. 1 To the north the site is bordered by a curved railroad spur, identified in some documents as Track #7, and a roughly 2.4-acre parcel; currently occupied by another Port tenant. The site is bordered to the west by the southern end of Port Road 21 and a vacant, asphalt-covered area. A 704. PRI.10 Page 2 Marrh 16 7fN17
