property uses, a review of environmental records available from government agencies, and a
property inspection.
The subject property has been vacant since at least the mid-1970's, and in a rural use prior to
the mid 1970's. The surrounding properties underwent a transition from rural to commercial
and residential uses during the late 1970's and early 1980's. A gasoline station has been
located west of the subject property across Boardwalk Drive since the mid-1980's. There
were no other environmentally significant property uses identified in the area of the subject
property which were uncovered from the historical records review.
Records of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Colorado Department of Health,
the Colorado Office of Oil Inspection, and the Larimer County Health Department were also
evaluated for information on air pollutants, water pollutants, hazardous materials, and land
sources of pollutants/hazards of potential concern, including known complaints and spills.
The subject property is not located within a known environmental hazard area, and there are
no documented or registered environmental pollution sources located at the subject property.
There are no government records which indicate that subsurface contamination of the subject
or immediately surrounding properties has occurred. The nearest potential pollution source is
a 7-Eleven convenience store and gasoline station, located west of the property across
Boardwalk Drive. The 7-Eleven underground tank installation has apparently not been
assessed for subsurface contamination; groundwater and the utility corridors located
underneath Boardwalk Drive present possible pathways for contaminant migration to the
subject property if significant leakage has occurred at the 7-Eleven underground tank
installation. The potential for subsurface contamination at the subject property can not be
fully evaluated through a Phase I investigation; however, any detected contamination would
subject the owner/operator of the 7-Eleven site to investigation and possible cleanup
requirements under Colorado underground storage tank rules.
ENPRO's property inspection included an evaluation of the subject property for visible
sources of contamination and environmental hazards, and a driveby survey of nearby
properties. There were no significant observations of the property grounds. The surrounding
properties are in mixed residential and commercial uses. The 7-Eleven/Citgo gasoline station
(4543 Boardwalk Drive) is the nearest property of potential concern. None of the other
surrounding property uses showed visible evidence of any contamination or other
environmental concerns.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
No further action is recommended.
6.0 LIMITATIONS
The ENPRO Phase I Environmental Audit is a practical screening approach for the
identification of serious environmental problems. The information obtained from this approach
should provide an initial assessment of the environmental condition of the property. The
records summary is based on information available at the time of the investigation and
information obtained during the property inspection is based on the condition of the property
at the time of the inspection. These may not be indicative of site conditions at other times.

There was no visible evidence of land subsidence or mining activity having occurred at the
property. An irrigation/stormwater ditch is located along the northern property boundary, and
some ponding of stormwater was observed in low-lying areas of the ditch. A discarded
battery, which should be removed and properly disposed, was observed in the ditch near the
eastern property boundary, and very small amounts of debris and concrete rubble were
observed in the ditch and on the ditch's banks. No signs of contamination, such as staining or
chemical sheens, were observed on the standing water or the sediments present in this ditch.
A drainage swale to control stormwater is located along the property's southern boundary.
No other surface erosion indicating surface water runoff was observed at the property, and no
stained areas that would indicate disposal of liquid wastes such as motor oils or solvents
were observed.
A small amount of rock, concrete, dead vegetation, and grass clippings have been deposited
near the southeastern corner of the property, and a small amount of asphaltic road base has
been deposited near the southwestern comer of the property. The small amount of discarded
debris at the property does not present a significant environmental concern to the subject
property. There were no unusual occurrences observed on the property such as stained soils,
obvious fill areas, subsidence areas, or illegal dumping.
In summary, there were no findings of environmental significance from the inspection of the
property grounds.
3.2 Surrounding Properties
The surrounding properties are in mixed retail, office, and residential uses. The Boardwalk, a
commercial business park, is located north of the subject property across Whaler's Way.
Single family residences are located to the north and northeast of the subject property, and a
Sam's Club retail store is located south of the property across E. Harmony Road. The Pier
apartment complex, a daycare center, and a 7-Eleven/Citgo gasoline station are located west
of the property across Boardwalk Drive. The underground storage tank installation located at
the 7-Eleven/Citgo gasoline station (4543 Boardwalk Drive) is the nearest potential concern.
None of the surrounding property uses showed visible evidence of any contamination or other
environmental concerns.
3.3 Assessment Summary of Property Inspection
ENPRO's property inspection included an evaluation of the subject property for visible
sources of contamination and environmental hazards, and a driveby survey of nearby
properties. There were no significant observations of the property grounds. The surrounding
properties are in mixed residential and commercial uses. The 7-Eleven/Citgo gasoline station
(4543 Boardwalk Drive) is the nearest property of potential concern. None of the other
surrounding property uses showed visible evidence of any contamination or other
environmental concerns.
4.0 SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The subject property, approximately 5.2 acres of vacant undeveloped land, was evaluated for
potentially significant on -site environmental contamination through a review of historical

property) at the 7-Eleven location; however this risk can not be fully evaluated through a
Phase I investigation.
2.6.2 Groundwater
The direction of groundwater flow at the subject property was not readily available from
published sources. A review of the USGS topographical map can be useful in inferring the
flow direction if certain topographical features are present in the vicinity. Those features
include potential receptors of groundwater such as lakes, streams, drainage or retention
basins, or well fields. Based on a review of the USGS Fort Collins quadrangle, it appears
that the shallow groundwater would flow in an easterly or northeasterly direction towards the
Cache La Poudre River drainage basin. Groundwater may present a pathway for migration of
contaminants, and the nearest upgradient potential pollution source is the 7-Eleven gasoline
station (4543 Boardwalk Drive), which has not been assessed for contamination based upon
our review of government records. Again, there is a possible risk of subsurface contamination
to the subject property from this source if significant leakage has occurred and this can not be
evaluated through a Phase I investigation. .
2.7 Assessment of Environmental Risk from Off -Site Pollution Sources/Hazards
There are no government records which indicate that subsurface contamination of the subject
or immediately surrounding properties has occurred. The nearest potential pollution source is
a 7-Eleven convenience store and gasoline station, located west of the property across
Boardwalk Drive. The 7-Eleven underground tank installation has apparently not been
assessed for subsurface contamination; groundwater and the utility corridors located
underneath Boardwalk Drive present possible pathways for contaminant migration to the
subject property if significant leakage has occurred at the 7-Eleven underground tank
installation. The potential for subsurface contamination at the subject property can not be
fully evaluated through a Phase I investigation; however, any detected contamination would
subject the owner/operator of the 7-Eleven site to investigation and possible cleanup
requirements under Colorado underground storage tank rules.
3.0 PROPERTY INSPECTION
The property was inspected on August 16, 1994. The inspection included a complete visual
survey of the subject property (including chemical and waste storage practices, and a physical
inspection of the property grounds for visible signs of contamination or contamination
sources), as well as a driveby survey of nearby businesses. There is no significant chemical
or waste storage at the subject property .
3.1 Property Grounds
The property is a vacant lot that measures approximately 285 feet in the east -west direction
and 670 feet in the north -south direction. The lot is roughly level, and ground cover consists
of various grasses and weeds with limited shrubs and trees located near the northern and
southern boundaries.

There are no radiation sources located within the immediate vicinity of the subject property.
2.4.8 Spills and Complaints
Spills of hazardous materials that have occurred on or near the subject property may affect the
property by causing soil and/or groundwater contamination. The prevalence of spills and
complaints at the subject property may also indicate general business practices that present a
potential environmental threat.
EPA database records, CDH database records, CDH file records, and the Latimer County Health
Department file records are reviewed for complaints and spills in the vicinity of the subject
property.
There have been no reported hazardous materials spills or complaints in the vicinity of the
subject property.
2.5 Environmental Hazards in the Surrounding Area
2.5.1 F000dplain Locations
The subject and surrounding properties are not located within a 100-year floodplain, according
to 1986 Federal Emergency Management Agency flood insurance rate maps. Fossil Creek
and Mail Creek are located approximately 1/2 mile south of the subject property.
2.6 Potential Pathways for Contaminant Migration to the Subject Property
2.6.1 Utility Corridors
No utility services are presently available at the subject property. Water and sanitary sewer
services at the surrounding properties are provided by the City of Fort Collins.
Water and sanitary sewer mains are located underneath Boardwalk Drive and Whaler's Way.
Natural gas mains are located underneath the north side of Harmony Road, the east side of
Boardwalk Drive, and the north side of Whaler's Way. An underground phone line is located
north of a ditch near the northern property boundary, running in an east -west direction. A 24"
pipe located underneath Boardwalk connects a stormwater drainage detention pond at the
Pier apartment complex with a ditch located along the property's northern boundary. This
ditch drains east into an underground stormwater conduit which empties into a detention pond
located near Maywell Street. No other underground stormwater conduits are located in the
immediate vicinity of the subject property.
Underground utility corridors may present a preferential pathway for migration of
contaminants from underground sources. The nearest potential pollution source is the
underground petroleum tank installation at a 7-Eleven gasoline station located west of the
subject property across Boardwalk Drive. It is our assessment that there is a possible risk
of contamination to the subject property via the utility corridors beneath Boardwalk Drive
from the 7-Eleven gasoline station, if significant leakage has occurred. The risk may be
minimized due to the relatively recent age of the tank installation (approximately 10 years
old) and the local topographic downward slope to the northeast (away from the subject
ENPRO Consulting Group, Inc. Page 10
T.
The listed tank installation has not been reported leaking to CDH, and the only item on file at
CDH is a copy of the tank registration information form. It should be noted that many leaking
tank installations go unreported and are not assessed for contamination, and our conclusions
are necessarily limited to available published information. This site is assessed as a
possible source of contamination to the subject property in §2.6.
2.4.5 Landfills
Disposal of solid waste is regulated by the Colorado Department of Health under the Colorado
Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Act. Landfills located at or near the subject property
are significant because of the possibility of hazardous wastes having been disposed in the
landfill and subsequently causing groundwater contamination. Groundwater degradation of the
non -hazardous variety may also occur, making nearby drinking water wells unusable. Methane
is also produced during the breakdown of organic wastes disposed in landfills. Methane gas can
accumulate in nearby structures and cause an explosion hazard.
The Larimer County Health Department files are reviewed and CDH database records reviewed
for landfills believed to be located within 1/2 mile of the subject property. Selected files are
reviewed for sources considered to be potentially significant to the subject property. Address
information for landfills is imperfect.
There are no records of any open or closed landfills or dump sites having operated within 1/2
mile of the subject property.
2.4.6 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) -Sources
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and certain forms of asbestos are regulated under the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA)which is enforced by the U.S. EPA. PCBs are used in the
dielectric fluid found in transformers, capacitors, and other electrical equipment. PCBs cause
serious reproductive effects and are thought to be carcinogenic.
EPA database records of inspections are reviewed and files selected for review, based upon
proximity to the subject property.

The listed facility has been inspected and found in compliance with TSCA regulations, and as
such, it is not considered environmentally significant to the subject property.
2.4.7 Chemical Radiation Sources
CDH Radiation Control Division database records of facilities are reviewed, and file records are
reviewed for selected facilities, as discussed below.

for treatment, storage, or disposal ("TSD facilities"). In Colorado, this program is managed by
the Colorado Department of Health, Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division.
CERCLA refers to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act, the primary law that provides for government response to major chemical spills
and cleanup of abandoned hazardous chemical dump sites. Under this law "Superfund" was
created, a multibillion dollar federal fund used to finance site studies and clean-ups until costs
can be recovered from Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs). Although EPA is usually the
lead agency for managing Superfund clean-ups, state agencies can also be assigned lead status
for clean-up management and oversight.
Selected EPA and CDH records are reviewed based upon address information provided in
database records maintained by EPA.
There are no registered hazardous waste handlers located within 1/2 mile of the subject
property and no hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities located within one
mile of the subject property.
EPA records of inactive or abandoned hazardous waste sites or facilities (CERCLA/
Superfund) were reviewed for the City of Fort Collins. There are no CERCLA study sites
located within 1/2 mile of the subject property and there are no National Priorities List sites
located within one mile of the subject property.
2.4.4 Underground Storage Tank Sites
Underground petroleum or hazardous material storage tanks must be registered with the
Colorado Oil Inspection Section (OIS), part of the Colorado Department of Labor. OIS
inspects tank ,installations for safety. However, Leaks from underground storage tanks are
regulated by CDH. Underground storage tanks located at or near the subject property are
significant due to their propensity to,leak, causing soil and groundwater contamination. This
is especially true of steel tanks, which corrode in soil and groundwater, unless specially
protected. Old gasoline stations, auto repair facilities, and businesses that had fleets of
vehicles are prime candidates for having underground tanks.
OIS tank registration records and CDH reports of leaking tanks are reviewed based upon address
information provided in databases maintained by these two agencies.

2.4 Pollution Sources in the Surrounding Area
2.4.1 Stationary Air Pollution Sources
The Air Quality Control Division (AQCD) of the Colorado Department of Health is the primary
enforcer of air pollution control requirements in Colorado. These include requirements and
permitting for asbestos abatement during remodeling and demolition of buildings, and
requirements for notification and permitting of facilities that produce hazardous air pollutants
(including asbestos). Hazardous air pollutants which are not controlled can produce liability
for the lender or buyer of a property as a result of worker/tenant exposure and health -related
lawsuits. In some cases, significant air pollution sources can also contaminate soils and water
on the subject property as well as surrounding properties. Selected AQCD files are reviewed for
a 1/2 mile radius from the subject property, based on UTM address information and street
address information available from database records.
There are no permitted air pollution sources located within 1/2 mile of the subject property.
2.4.2 Stream Pollution Sources and Wetlands
Local, state, and the federal government are involved in protecting water quality. Permits are
required for the discharge of pollutants to streams. These are known as NPDES permits, after
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.
Discharge of pollutants into municipal sewer systems ultimately reaches our streams and
rivers. These types of pollution discharges are regulated under the Industrial Pretreatment
Program, whereby local sewer districts require permits for many kinds of industries. There is
oversight of this program by both CDH and EPA.
Wetlands, habitats for waterfowl, are also protected by federal law, which is administered by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They are important from a liability standpoint, in that
there are restrictions that are intended to prevent wetlands destruction, regardless of property
ownership. Some local governments also regulated wetland development. These programs can
limit the development and use of a property.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maps of potential wetlands are reviewed for a 1/2 mile radius of
the subject property. Selected CDH and EPA NPDES records are reviewed based on discharge
location information provided in database records.
CDH records were consulted for facilities which discharge into Warren Lake, Mail Creek,
Fossil Creek, and the Dixon Canyon Lateral. There are no upgradient stream pollution
sources located in the nearby vicinity of the subject property.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has not mapped any wetlands within the immediate
vicinity of the subject property.
2.4.3 Hazardous Waste Facilities
RCRA refers to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the law that provides for
regulation of companies or businesses that produce hazardous chemical wastes ("generators").
This law also regulates transporters of hazardous waste, and those that receive hazardous waste

2.1.1 Inspection, Compliance, and Monitoring History
There are no records of inspections by the above listed agencies for environmentally related
matters at the subject property, and no regulatory agency environmental compliance or
monitoring reports were available for the subject property.
2.1.2 Potentially Responsible Parties at Superfund Sites
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) records of potentially responsible parties ("PRPs")
for investigation and cleanup of CERCLA Superfund Sites were also compared with the
owners of the subject property. The property's current owners (Tom J. Gleason, Dwight
Ghent, Wayne K. Schrader, and the Gleason Family Irrevocable Trust) are not presently
identified as PRPs in the State of Colorado.

Harmony Road; office buildings (1984-94) at 700, 724, 730, 736 & 760 Whaler's Way; Sam's
Club/Pace Warehouse (1990-94) at 4700 Boardwalk Drive, and a residence (1975-94) at 608
E. Harmony Road. There were no street listings for Boardwalk Drive and Whaler's Way
prior to 1982.
The subject property remained as vacant land from the 1970's to the 1990's. The surrounding
properties underwent a transition in the late 1970's and early 1980's from rural use to
commercial and residential uses. A gasoline station was confirmed at 4543 Boardwalk Drive
since at least 1986. The review of city directories does not indicate any additional
environmentally significant land use of the subject or surrounding properties.
1.2.5 Review of Historical Assessment Records
Latimer County assessment records dating to 1974 show no assessed improvements
at the subject property. The subject property was split from a larger agricultural parcel
in 1978. Earlier assessment records could not be located.
1.2.6 Review of Planning and Zoning Information
The subject property is currently zoned BP (Planned Business) by the City of Fort Collins.
The Boardwalk office park located north of the property across Whaler's Way is also zoned
BP. The properties located to the west and east are zoned RLP (Low Density Planned
Residential), and the properties located to the south across Harmony Road are zoned RP
(Planned Residential) by the City of Fort Collins.
1.3 Summary of Property Use Investigation
The subject property has been vacant since at least the mid-1970's, and in a rural use prior to
the mid 1970's. The surrounding properties underwent a transition from rural to commercial
and residential uses during the late 1970's and early 1980's. A gasoline station has been
located west of the subject property across Boardwalk Drive since the mid-1980's. There
were no other environmentally significant property uses identified in the area of the subject
property which were uncovered from the historical records review.

1.2.2 Review of Building Records
The City of Fort Collins' building records were reviewed for the subject property. There are
no building permits on file for the subject property. A building permit for the 7-Eleven/Citgo
station (4543 Boardwalk Drive) located west of the subject property across Boardwalk Drive
indicates that the 7-Eleven/gasoline station was constructed in late 1983 or early 1984.
1.2.3 Review of Aerial Photography
Aerial photographs taken in 1978, 1987, and 1993 were reviewed to discern historical and
potentially environmentally significant land uses of the subject and surrounding properties.
The 1978 photograph (scale 1"=400') shows the subject property as rural plowed land. No
improvements were located at the property. Rural plowed lands were also located to the
north, east and west of the property, and a rural residence and farmland were located south of
the property across Harmony Road. A building with an L-shaped footprint (currently occupied
by a baptist church) was shown to the southwest of the property across Harmony Road.
The 1987 photograph (scale 1"=400') shows the subject property as vacant undeveloped land.
Boardwalk Drive appeared west of the property, and Whaler's Way appeared north of the
property. A gasoline station and an apartment complex appeared west of the property across
Boardwalk Drive, and vacant undeveloped land then some single family residences were
observed east of the subject property. The Boardwalk office complex appeared north of the
subject property across Whaler's Way. A rural residence and farmland were still located
south of the property across Harmony Road. The L-shaped building located to the southwest
was still present.
The 1993 photograph (scale 1"=100') shows the subject property as similar to the 1987
photograph. Single family residences appeared to the east and northeast of the subject
property, and a large retail building (Sam's Club) appeared south of the subject property.
Otherwise, the surrounding properties were similar to the 1987 photograph.
The review of historical aerial photographs shows that the subject property has remained as
vacant land. In the 1970's, the subject parcel was part of a larger parcel in an agricultural use.
The surrounding properties were also in Waal and agricultural use in the 1970's, with
increasing commercial and residential development in the 1980's. The only land use of
environmental significance that could be observed in the photographs is the previously
mentioned gasoline station that has been located west of the subject property across
Boardwalk Drive since the mid-1980's.
1.2.4 Review of Street Directories
Cole's and Johnson's city directories were reviewed for the period 1973-present. There were
no listings for the subject property during the period of directory review.
Selected listings for the surrounding properties have included: 7-Eleven (1986-94) at 4543
Boardwalk Drive; Pier Apartments (1982-94) at 4501 Boardwalk Drive; La Petite Academy
(1984-94) at 4525 Boardwalk Drive; Front Range Baptist Church (1980-94) at 625 E.

1.0 PROPERTY USE INVESTIGATION
1.1 Property Description
The subject property is described as approximately 5.2 acres of vacant undeveloped land
located in the SE/4 of Section 36, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the Sixth Prime
Meridian. The property is located in a mixed commercial and residential area within the city
limits of Fort Collins.
1.2 Ownership and Land Use
The historical use of the subject property was established by review of assessment and title
records from the Larimer County assessor's and clerk and recorder's offices, review of the
City of Fort Collins' building and inspection records, interpretation of aerial photography from
1978, 1987, and 1993, review of Cole's and Johnson's city directories from 1973-present, and
review of the City of Fort Collins' planning and zoning records.
1.2.1 Review of Title Information
The subject property is currently owned by Tom J. Gleason, Dwight Ghent, Wayne K.
Schrader, and the Gleason Family Irrevocable Trust, which acquired the property in
December 1992. The previous owners were traced back through at least 1940. The owners
and the approximate dates of ownership for the property are listed in Table 1.
