r rPhase-1 ESA Executive Summary ' Background. Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.® (SEH) was retained by the City of St..Anthony, Minnesota to 1 conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the Custom Liquidators property (subject property). The subject property is located at 2654 Kenzie Terrace, in St. Anthony, Hennepin County, Minnesota. ' The subject property consists of approximately one acre. One building is located on the subject property and was constructed in 1958 for the purpose of a bowling alley. The bowling alley was in service until 1993 and stood vacant until 1995. In 1995, it was purchased and utilized as a ,r showroom for used office furniture. Findings and Conclusions According to the Vista report, properties adjacent to the subject property were identified as having a potential to create a recognized environmental condition (REC) on the subject property. ' Seven leaking underground storage tank (LUST) sites are located within '/z-mile of the subject property. Six of the seven LUST sites have received closure from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).- The remaining site appears to have a low potential to create a REC at ' the subject property based on the estimated flow direction of groundwater and distance from the subject property. One underground storage tank (UST) site (Phillips 66) is located immediately adjacent northeast of the subject property. Additional sites were also identified, however, due to the distance and/or direction from the subject property, it is unlikely for these sites to create a REC at the subject property. Through aerial photographs,. fire insurance maps, topographic maps, and interviews, SEH ' reviewed the history of the properties on and adjacent to the corridor to identify past uses and potential RECs. SEH also reviewed documents associated with the physiography of the subject property. No RECs were identified during the review the physiography documentation. However, while reviewing historical information, it was noted that several service stations and unidentified commercial buildings were located adjacent and near the subject property. The potential exists for these service stations to create a REC on the subject property. rA previous Phase I ESA was conducted in 1995 and reviewed by SEH. Conclusions and recommendations in the 1995 report included the identification of asbestos containing materials (ACM) encountered during an asbestos inspection. In addition, stored paints and painting supplies were observed in a basement storage area. These materials (paint and supplies) were not observed on the day of the site reconnaissance for this report. rRecommendations Based on the findings and conclusions of this Phase I ESA, no soil or groundwater investigations are warranted at this time, for this site. If remodeling or demolition of the building is performed, SEH recommends conducting additional detailed inspections and/or removal of ACM from the 1 building. The inspections should include sampling and analyzing suspect interior and exterior building materials for ACM by a licensed asbestos inspector. In addition, the building should be inspected for other environmentally hazardous. materials and structures such as lead-based materials, mercury-containing switches, fluorescent light bulbs, floor drains, storage of rhazardous chemicals and substances, etc. 1
