A Phillips 66 filling station (Schrader's Country Store) was located downgradient of the site on the southeast corner of South College Avenue and CR 32. None of the bordering sites appeared to have the potential to cause recognized environmental conditions to the subject site. 2.4 Transformers No electric transformers were observed on the subject site. 2.5 Interviews Kumar & Associates, Inc., personnel spoke with Mr. James McCory, the current owner of the subject site. Mr. McCory indicated that to the best of his knowledge, the site had never been developed. He said he had acquired the site as part of a 90-acre acquisition from Dellweb Company at least six years ago. Mr. McCory indicated there had been two leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs) removed from the property immediately adjacent to the site to the north in 1996. The associated petroleum impacted soils around the tanks were excavated and removed at this time. He said confirmation samples indicated there was no petroleum impacted soil or groundwater on the subject site, and no further action letters were issued by the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).. This event is not expected to have impacted the subsurface of the subject site. 3.0 AGENCY REVIEW Government agency records were reviewed concerning potential usage, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous waste and petroleum products at and near the site, or spills or incidents involving hazardous substances or petroleum products that may have resulted in recognized environmental conditions in connection with the site. The database review was conducted in general accordance with the current ASTM standard for Phase I Environmental Site . Assessments. A copy of the federal and state agency records review, prepared by Environmental Data Resources, Inc., (EDR) is included in Appendix C. Documentation of the records reviewed by EDR and a description of the following Federal and State environmental regulatory programs is included in their report. 3.1 Federal Agencies No National Priorities List (NPL) sites or Recovery Act (RCRA) Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) facilities subject to Corrective Actions (CORRACTS) were identified within a 1.0-mile radius of the subject site. Kumar & Associates, Inc. -3- According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps and a previous Phase I ESA prepared by Giles Engineering Associates, Inc., the subject site has been undeveloped since at least 1962. The current owner, James McCort', indicated that to the best of his knowledge, the subject site has never been developed and has historically been used as agricultural land. The drainage and irrigation ditch through the site has been present since at least 1962. The USGS maps also indicated that the farm house to the north of the site and the residences to the east of South College Avenue have been present since at least 1962. According to the aerial photographs, there was residential development on the east side of South College Avenue throughout the 1980s. Residential development was apparent to the north and northwest of the site in the 1990s. The areas to the west and south of the site have been agricultural since at least 1962. 2.3 Site Visit On'April 3, 2002, Mr. Derek Bowman of Kumar and Associates, Inc., conducted a site visit of the subject site. The site was undeveloped at the time of our visit. The site visit was conducted by walking and driving the perimeter and interior of the site. The site was mostly covered with grasses. There was a drainage and irrigation ditch that trended north to south throughout the center of the subject site. A drivable, unpaved road was located along the side of the ditch. The ditch was dry at the time of our .visit. There was a low-lying area of land located in the southwest corner of the site. This low-lying land was identified as a wetland by Water Quality Technology, Inc., in December 1999. The wetland extends minimally onto the southwest corner of the subject site. A copy of the wetland delineation map from their report is included in Appendix B. There was a natural gas meter station located on the south end of the site. There was no staining in the soils around the natural gas piping or associated shed. There was no evidence of hazardous materials or petroleum products stored or released on the subject site. The site was bordered to the east by South College Avenue. An unpaved access road to the natural gas meter station bordered the site to the south, and adjacent land south of the access road was undeveloped agricultural land. There was undeveloped agricultural land adjacent to the west of the site. An historical park, with a large, old red barn, was present to the north of the subject site. There was residential development on the west side of the barn, northwest of Kumar & Associates, Inc. -2- 1 .0 INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the approximate 19.8-acre undeveloped property located at the northwest corner of South College Avenue and Larimer County Road 32 (CR 32), Fort Collins, Colorado. A topographic map and a summarry of site observations are shown on Figures 1 and 2, respectively. A listing of the documentation used to prepare this report is presented in Appendix A. The Phase I ESA was performed in general accordance with ASTM E 1527-00, "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process." The purpose, of the assessment was to identify potential recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property and to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability. Recognized environmental conditions, as defined in ASTM E 1527-00, are conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground; ground water or surface water of the site. There were no exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice for the assessment of this property. The study was performed in general accordance with our proposal dated March 26, 2002, accepted by Mr. Brian Jessup of Quadrant Properties, and was conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions noted in the proposal. 2.0 SITE DATA 2.1 Site Description The subject site is located in the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 14, Township 6 North, Range 69 West of the 6" Principal Meridian in Larimer County, Colorado, The site generally slopes toward the east. Based on the surface topography and subsurface conditions in the area, shallow unconfined ground water, if present in the area, is expected to flow generally toward the east. A drainage and irrigation ditch is located through the central part of the site trending in a north to south direction. 2.2 Site History A review of aerial photographs and historical maps was conducted to evaluate the past uses of the site. Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps were not published for this area. Four sets of aerial photographs of the subject site from 1972 to 2000 were reviewed.
