Approximate Boundaries of Environmental Impacts at Poudre River-Aztlan Site, 112
Willow Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524.
Fort Collins
Environmental Concerns relating to Historical Dumping/Landfill:
Environmental investigations show landfill debris to be present in a layer between 9
and 14 feet thick, covered by 1 to 3 feet of silty -clay. The exact characteristics of this
debris are unknown, but investigations have revealed construction debris, such as
concrete, brick and glass, as well as some building materials known to contain asbestos.
Additionally, methane gas, a by-product of the decomposition of landfill debris, is a
concern at the site.
Associated Risks:
• Coal -tar and chlorinated solvent contamination that poses health risks when released
into the environment
• Possible elevated concentrations of methane gas that pose explosive hazards
• Potential exposure to asbestos -contaminated soils and asbestos -containing debris
(Please see attachments 1 and 2 for map of environmental impacts)
City of Fort Collins Required Actions:
The City of Fort Collins must comply with the "City -required Actions" found in several
legal documents, including an Administrative Order on Consent, an Environmental
Covenant, and a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment site -specific
Soil Characterization and Management Plan for asbestos -contaminated soils (SCMP).
• Work must be planned and completed in a manner that will ensure development
project activities will not adversely impact the Removal Action Remedies on the site,
or change and/or create any preferential pathway for the NAPL plume.
• Air monitoring for methane and other airborne contaminates is strongly
recommended during intrusive excavation and trenching activities for work on or
adjacent to site

POUDRE RIVER/AZTLAN SITE
Past and Existing Environmental Issues
Executive Summary
Site History:
Various industrial facilities operated in the area now occupied by Northside Aztlan
Community Center, United Way Building and Heritage Park. Poudre Valley Gas
Company produced manufactured gas from coal and possibly oil at former gas plant
site south of the site. The gas plant closed approximately 1926. Additionally, a
municipal solid waste landfill was located on the site. This landfill was operated
variously by private parties and by the City of Fort Collins. This use ended in the early
1960s.
Poudre River Superfund Site:
In September of 2002, an oily sheen was observed and reported near the south bank of
the Cache La Poudre River nearest the site. Further investigation revealed a non -
aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) "plume" and associated concentrations of organic
compounds exceeded water quality criteria and other ecological screening values. The
plume originated on former gas plant property (located on what is now the Schrader
property) and extended out under Willow Street and the parking lot of Northside
Aztlan Center to the Cache La Poudre River.
In November of 2004, a Removal Action under the Federal Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) was initiated by
the EPA. The City of Fort Collins, Public Service Company (PSCo), EPA, and Schrader
Oil were identified as stakeholders and PSCo and Schrader Oil were identified as
responsible parties, liable for cleanup of the site. The Removal Action was intended to:
• Prevent migration of NAPL into the riverbed;
• Prevent discharge of NAPL to surface water;
• Protect future on -site workers and recreational users; and
• Allow future development consistent with these objectives.
The Removal Action Remedies consisted of the following work:
• Removal of contaminated sediment/upper bedrock within the river 400 ft. long, 75
ft. wide, 17 ft. deep
• Installation of a vertical physical containment barrier wall 693 ft. long, 30 ft below
ground
Vertical hydraulic containment and control trench w/pumps collecting fluids
Water treatment and discharge which removes NAPL and discharges clean water
back to the river
�.Forort Collins
provisions of an Administrative Order on Consent (CERCLA-08-2005-0003), the City
has committed to take reasonable steps to prevent preferential pathways that may be
created by underground work in the area. It is also important to note, that excavation
in this area may require notification to the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE), and should be conducted using reasonable precautions to
ascertain, identify and properly manage any regulated or hazardous materials
encountered. Planning for management of hazardous materials and project safety is
advisable and may be required, depending upon the condition of the property.
The City may have additional information of interest to you if and when you move
forward with the proposed project. Please feel free to contact me at the following
address if you would like additional historical or background information or have
questions regarding the City's activities on its nearby properties:

Colorado 80524
Dear Mr Keifer and Mr. Mazzotta:
This letter and attached information is in follow up to the Conceptual Review
discussions with the City's development review staff regarding a preliminary
development proposal involving property currently owned by Kiefer Concrete, Inc.
The tax parcel numbers associated with the preliminary proposal include:
9712208013 . 9712208016
9712208009 • 9712208014
