The Site is located in downtown High Point, Guilford County and is generally enclosed by Gatewood Avenue to the north, Lindsay Street to the west, English Street to the south, and Elm Street to the east (Figure 1 and 2). The Site is currently comprised of fifteen parcels (Figure 2). The parcels together total approximately 11.35 acres. The northern approximate half of the Site is being developed with a multi-use baseball stadium and includes approximately 6 acres. The remainder of the Site will be developed with mixture of retail, office, hotel, and residential uses. Four of the parcels (1, 2, 8, 9 and 10) front Church Avenue, four of the parcels (3, 4, 5 and a portion of 7) front Pine Street, two parcels (a portion of 7 and 12) front English Street, and six parcels (11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17) front Lindsay Street. The parcels as identified in the Brownfields application are shown on Figure 2. Parcel 4 located at 300 Church Avenue was developed with single-family residences from at least 1906 until 1969. In 1969, the current building was constructed on the site. Occupants of the building have included Wagner Tire Service, Piedmont Truck Tires, and Club Cu. ECS performed a Phase I ESA of the property located at 300 Church Avenue (Parcel 4) in September 2017. ECS identified multiple on-site RECs including the historical use of the property as an automobile garage, the three underground hydraulic lifts located in the garage, the two removed underground hydraulic lifts, and the pit located in the garage as RECs. On November 22, 2017, ECS contracted with a North Carolina licensed drilling contractor to drill fifteen (GP-1 through GP-15) soil borings using direct push technology to a depth of up to 15 feet below ground surface (bgs) in the areas of recognized environmental conditions and proposed utility pathways. Three borings (GP-13, GP-14, and GP-15) were drilled on Parcel 4 (Figure 3). The sample were submitted to a North Carolina certified laboratory to be analyzed for VOCs and SVOCs using EPA Methods 8260 and 8270, respectively and total RCRA metals using EPA Methods 6020/7470/7471. With the exception of arsenic, laboratory analysis of the samples collected from GP-13, GP-14, and GP-15 did not detect target compounds above the laboratory reporting limits. 3.0 HYDRAULIC LIFT/UST CLOSURE AND INITIAL RESPONSE On February 28, 2018, ECS and DH Griffin Wrecking Company (DH) met at the site to remove the six hydraulic lifts located on Parcel 4 (Figure 4). The lifts consisted of a hydraulic cylinder and piston and a separate 50 gallon hydraulic oil tank. With the exception of one lift (HL-1), the tanks were located approximately 15 feet from the lift cylinder/piston. The tank for lift HL-1 was located adjacent to the cylinder. Tank information is shown on Table 1. Prior to removal, DH removed 270 gallons of liquid from the tanks associated with each lift using a vacuum truck for offsite for disposal. A copy of the liquid material manifest is included in Appendix A. Following removal of the liquid, ECS personnel observed the removal of the lifts and lift tanks by DH using a tracked excavator. The lifts and tanks were in good condition. Holes were not observed in the tank or lift walls. DH loaded the lifts into a roll off box for offsite disposal. The tank disposal manifest is included in Appendix B. The excavations were backfilled with clean fill. Site photographs are Hydraulic Lift/UST Closure Report Brownfields Project No. 21047-17-041 High Point, Guilford County, North Carolina ECS Project No. 49:5318-A March 27, 2018 4 included in Appendix C. Following closure activities, ECS submitted a GW/UST-2 Form: Site Investigation Report for Permanent Closure to the NCDEQ UST Section which is included in Appendix D. On March 6, 2018, ECS was informed by DH that one heating oil UST was discovered during the demolition of the foundation of the former building on parcel 4. (Figure 4). On March 7, 2017, DH removed 32 gallons of liquid from the UST. The liquid was manifested and taken offsite for disposal. A copy of the liquid material manifest is included in Appendix A. Following removal of the liquid, ECS personnel observed the removal of the UST by DH. The UST was a 1,000- gallon heating oil tank. The UST was in poor condition, with pitting and holes observed in the tank walls. The soil surrounding the UST had a petroleum odor. DH loaded the UST onto a truck for offsite disposal. The tank disposal manifest is included in Appendix B. Site photographs are included in Appendix C. Following closure activities, ECS submitted a GW/UST-2 Form: Site Investigation Report for Permanent Closure to the NCDEQ UST Section which is included in Appendix D. Groundwater was not encountered during the lift and heating oil UST closure activities. 4.0 SITE INVESTIGATION 4.1 Field Screening Following removal of the lifts and their associated tanks, representative samples of soil from the base of each excavation were collected and screened using the probe of a Foxboro Model 2020 toxic vapor analyzer which is a flame ionization detector (FID). Following removal of the heating oil UST, representative samples of soil from the base and sidewall of the excavation were collected and screened with the FID. A portion of soil from each location was placed in a re-sealable plastic bag for the purpose of field screening. Each plastic bag was placed in a warm location for approximately ten minutes to allow the headspace in the bag to equilibrate. The probe of the FID was inserted into the bag, and the bag was immediately resealed. The FID meter was monitored and the readings recorded. The readings are summarized below. Sample ID Approximate Depth (feet bgs) FID Reading (ppm) HL-1 7-8 8.7 HL-2 6-7 8.6 HL-2T 6-7 8.9 HL-3 6-7 9.2 HL-3T 6-7 23.7 HL-4 6-7 10.2 HL-4T 6-7 11.6 Hl-5 6-7 8.7 HL-5T 6-7 8.6 HL-6 6-7 8.9 HL-6T 6-7 65.9 SW-1 4-5 9.4 SW-2 4-5 9.2 SW-3 4-5 10.2 SW-4 4-5 15.0 B-1 5-6 119 Hydraulic Lift/UST Closure Report Brownfields Project No. 21047-17-041 High Point, Guilford County, North Carolina ECS Project No. 49:5318-A March 27, 2018 5 4.2 Sample Collection and Analysis The excavator was used to collect soil samples (HL-1, HL-2 through HL-6, HL-2T through HL-6T, SW-1 through SW-4 and B-1) from the base and/or sidewalls of each excavation. The samples were collected from an approximate depth of 4 to 8 feet below ground surface (bgs). The ECS personnel on site manually collected the samples from the bucket of the excavator, taking care to collect the sample from the middle of the bucket. The sampler wore new, disposable nitrile gloves at each sample location. The approximate location of the samples is shown on Figure 5 and Figure 6. The soil samples were placed into laboratory prepared containers. After being filled, the sample containers were labeled and placed into a cooler containing ice to maintain the samples at approximately 4° Celsius. The samples were shipped to Research and Analytical laboratories, Inc. (R&A) in Kernersville, North Carolina for analysis. The samples collected from the hydraulic lifts were analyzed for semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) using EPA Method 8270. The samples collected from the heating oil UST excavation were analyzed for volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) using EPA Methods 8260 and 8270, respectively and total RCRA metals. The samples were transported to the laboratory under chain of custody. A copy of the chain of custody is included in Appendix E. 5.0 LABORATORY ANALYTICAL RESULTS Laboratory analysis of soil samples HL-1, HL-2 through HL-6, HL-2T through HL-6T did not detect SVOCs above the laboratory reporting limit. Laboratory analysis of soil samples SW-1 through SW-4 did not detect VOCs or SVOCs above the laboratory reporting limit. Laboratory analysis of soil sample B-1 detected six VOCs and three SVOCs above the laboratory reporting limit but below the North Carolina Division of Waste Management’s Residential Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs). The laboratory results are summarized in Table 2. The laboratory analytical data sheets are included in Appendix E. 6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Six hydraulic lifts and one heating oil UST associated with the former automobile garage located at 300 Church Street (Parcel 4) were removed. Laboratory analysis of soil samples collected from the hydraulic lifts did not detect SVOCs above the laboratory reporting limit. Laboratory analysis of the soil samples collected from the heating oil UST did not detect VOCs or SVOCs above the Residential PSRGs; therefore, ECS does not recommend additional analysis. 7.0 QUALIFICATIONS OF REPORT The activities and evaluative approaches used in this assessment are consistent with those normally employed in UST closure projects of this type.
