Site history includes a railroad right-of-way (until the late 1980s), a grain warehouse (from 1898 to the 1930s), and a brick and furniture making facility (from the 1930s to the 1970s). The PEA investigation included sampling for petroleum hydrocarbons, semi-volatile organic compounds, volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides and heavy metals. The PEA Report recommends that soil impacted by total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) greater than 1,200 mg/kg be removed from the site and disposed in accordance with all applicable waste-disposal regulations for aesthetic purposes, and concludes that "No Further Action" is required.
