The objectives of the investigation were to: •Investigate whether underground storage tanks (USTs) related to the former filling station remain on the subject property; •Evaluate whether the former filling station on the southwest portion of the subject property has resulted in impacts by petroleum hydrocarbons to soil and/or groundwater; •Evaluate the integrity of the 2,000-gallon diesel UST on the east side of the subject property; and, •Evaluate the integrity of the 2,000-gallon waste oil UST on the east side of the subject property. Grubb Properties, Inc. approved this scope of work and provided project authorization of Partner Proposal Number P14-131345.4. Site Description The subject property consists of one parcel totaling approximately 2.171 acres. It occupies the block bound to the north by West 5th Street, to the south by West 4th Street, to the west by Poplar Street Northwest, and to the east by Spruce Street North. The subject property is located in a mixed commercial/retail/residential area of downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina and is currently developed with an unoccupied office building the south tower of which was constructed in 1951, and the north tower of which was constructed in 1980. In addition to the structures, the subject property is also improved with asphalt-paved parking areas and associated landscaping. The subject property is currently occupied by vacant commercial office buildings. On-site operations consist of routine building maintenance. The subject property consists of one 21-story building with a basement (North Tower), one six-story building with a basement (South Tower), and one single-story building which houses the emergency generator. In addition to the current structures, the subject property is also improved with landscaping and concrete walkways on the north end, and an asphalt parking area on the south end Phase II Subsurface Investigation 500 West 5th Street Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101 Partner Project Number 14-131345.4 March 4, 2015 Page | 2 The subject property is bound by First Baptist Church across West 5th Street to the north; The Lowrey Building across West 4th Street to the south, the Winston-Salem Journal, an unoccupied historic domicile, and Chamber Plaza retail building across Spruce Street to the east, and a paved asphalt parking lot and a concrete parking structure across Poplar Street Northwest to the west. Refer to Figure 1 for a site plan showing site features and surrounding properties. Site History Partner completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) Report for the subject property, dated January 8, 2015, on behalf of Grubb Properties, Inc. As documented in the Phase I report, according to available historical sources, the subject property was developed with residential dwellings as early as 1885; developed with residences and a church between 1885 and at least 1917; developed with residential and commercial structures from as early as 1917 to at least 1969, and developed with the current three structures in 1950, 1980, and 1999 for the South Tower, North Tower, and Emergency Generator Building, respectively. Tenants on the subject property have included a filling station (at least 1950 to at least 1957), Integon Insurance (at least 1987 to at least 2008) and GMAC Insurance (at least 2008 to 2013). According to the Phase I, the subject property is equipped with one 2,000-gallon diesel fuel UST on its east side between the north and south tower. The 2,000-gallon UST was installed in 2005 and is constructed of steel-clad fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). The diesel UST provides fuel for the North Tower emergency generator. Based on the age of the tank and limited additional information regarding construction and potential leakage, the diesel fuel UST was identified as a recognized environmental condition. Historical Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps dated 1950 and 1957 depicted a filling station with four tanks located on the southwest corner of the subject property. There is no regulatory record of the filling station or any related environmental investigation. Further, information regarding a monitoring well located on the southwest portion of the subject property (in the area of the former fill station), associated with the adjoining western property groundwater investigation (Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Incident #8943), indicated naphthalene and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate were detected in groundwater at the subject property. The on-site well was installed as an up-gradient well for the adjoining property, and therefore, the naphthalene and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate likely did not originate at the release associated with the adjoining site. As such, the source of on-site groundwater impacts has not been identified and is potentially associated with a release from the subject property. The historical use of the subject property as a gasoline filling station, and the potentially associated groundwater impacts previously identified on site, were considered recognized environmental conditions where further investigation was warranted. The Phase I also identified a 2,000-gallon waste oil UST, designed to contain transformer oil in the event of a rupture of on-site transformers, that has been located on the east side of the subject property since approximately 1980. Since this tank is used solely for emergency purposes and is otherwise empty, the Phase II Subsurface Investigation 500 West 5th Street Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101 Partner Project Number 14-131345.4 March 4, 2015 Page | 3 waste oil UST is considered a de minimis environmental concern. A 12,000-gallon diesel UST, which fuels the emergency generator for the South Tower, was observed in the south parking lot. This UST was the subject of recent inspections, which did not reveal any leaks, and therefore was not considered a recognized environmental condition. Aside from the three current USTs, two former USTs were also identified. A former 10,000-gallon diesel UST has been closed in-place on the west side of the subject property, and a former 2,000-gallon diesel UST was removed when the current 2,000-gallon diesel UST replaced it on the east side of the subject property. Both of these USTs were the subjects of previous investigations that revealed soil impacts. The resultant UST Section incidents were closed with a Notice of Residual Petroleum, and are considered a controlled recognized environmental condition. Geology and Hydrogeology According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985), the project site is located within the Milton Belt Region. The Milton Belt consists of gneisses, schist, and metamorphosed intrusive rocks. The Milton Belt Region lies in the Piedmont Province which is characterized by gently rolling well rounded hills and long low ridges with a few feet of elevation difference between the hills and the valleys. More specifically, the site is underlain by the biotite and gneiss schist. Refer to Figure 2 for a topographic map of the site vicinity. According to the Soil and Groundwater Assessment Report prepared for the adjoining Fourth Street Parking Deck by Aquaterra, Inc. (July 9, 1991), the depth and direction of groundwater in the vicinity of the subject property was approximately 43-44 feet below ground surface (bgs) and inferred to flow to the southwest. Based on borings advanced during this investigation, the upper 20 to 30 feet of the subsurface consists predominantly of orange silt and silty clay, which is underlain by light brown and mottled purple silt to medium sand. Groundwater was not encountered during this investigation, as bedrock refusal occurred between 29 feet bgs and 37 bgs in the borings drilled. Refer to Appendix A for boring logs from this investigation. Pre-Field Activities Prior to the initiation of fieldwork, Partner completed the following activities: Utility Clearance Partner notified NC811 to clear public utility lines as required by law at least three business days prior to drilling activities. NC811 issued ticket number C150351249 for the project. Field Activities Refer to Table 1 for a summary of the borings, sampling schedule and laboratory analyses for this investigation. The scope of the Phase II Subsurface Investigation included a geophysical survey and the advancement of four borings (B01 through B04) for the collection of representative soil and groundwater Phase II Subsurface Investigation 500 West 5th Street Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101 Partner Project Number 14-131345.4 March 4, 2015 Page | 4 samples. As bedrock refusal occurred at each boring prior to encountering groundwater, groundwater samples were not collected. Underground Storage Tank Tightness Testing On February 10, 2015, Precision Tank Services, Inc. (PTS) of Cornelius, North Carolina conducted UST tightness testing under the supervision of Partner. When attempting to test the empty 2,000-gallon waste oil UST, PTS discovered that the wood and fiberglass lid covering the UST tankhold was installed upside down, such that the handle designed for removing the lid was inside the tankhold. Additionally, the condition of the lid was deteriorated to the degree that removing it would result in its destruction. Because of these conditions, the empty waste oil UST was not tested. When the 2,000-gallon diesel was inspected by PTS it was found to be double-walled fiberglass, and to have interstitial spill detection equipment. The spill detection equipment indicated that no release had occurred. To test the diesel UST, PTS applied a vacuum for eight minutes. The delivery and return lines were closed at the location of the pumps in the basement of the north tower, so that the underground portions of the lines would also be subjected to the vacuum and therefore tested along with the UST. After the eight-minute testing period, the vacuum was undiminished, indicating that neither the UST or subsurface portions of the lines have been compromised. A copy of the tightness testing report is included in Appendix B. Geophysical Survey On February 10, 2015, KCI Associates of North Carolina, P.A. (KCI) conducted a geophysical survey under the supervision of Partner. The purpose of the geophysical survey was to identify any USTs remaining in place and clear boring locations of utilities. The geophysical survey was conducted with electromagnetic induction (EM) equipment and ground penetrating radar (GPR) unit. KCI systematically free-traversed the investigation area with the aforementioned equipment. The equipment data were interpreted in real time and compiled as necessary in order to identify subsurface anomalies consistent with USTs, disturbed soil resembling utility lines, and/or other subsurface conduits/features. The geophysical survey identified several subsurface anomalies in the investigation area that were consistent with a former building location, but none that appeared to represent a UST. One linear feature, trending west-east near the south end of the investigation area was interpreted to be either a defunct utility or product piping. Health and Safety Plan Partner reviewed the site-specific Health and Safety Plan with on-site personnel involved in the project prior to the commencement of drilling activities. Drilling Equipment Phase II Subsurface Investigation 500 West 5th Street Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101 Partner Project Number 14-131345.4 March 4, 2015 Page | 5 On February 10, 2015, Partner subcontracted with Probe Technology, Inc. of Concord, North Carolina (Probe Tech) to provide and operate drilling equipment. Probe-Tech, under the direction of Partner, advanced borings B01 through B04 with a track-mounted Geoprobe direct push rig. Sampling equipment was decontaminated between sample intervals and boring locations to prevent cross-contamination. Boring Locations Borings B01 through B04 were advanced in the southwest portion of the parking lot on the south end of the subject property, in the area formerly occupied by a filing station. Boring B01 was advanced near a subsurface anomaly on the east side of the inferred former filling station building location, and boring B02 was advanced on the west side of the area inferred to have been occupied by the former filling station building. Boring B03 was advanced next to the linear feature on the south end of the former filling station area, and boring B04 was advanced on the southwest corner of the former filling station area, in the inferred downgradient direction. Refer to Figure 3 for a map depicting boring locations. Soil Sampling All borings were overlain by asphalt, which was penetrated using a punch bit attachment advanced by the direct-push drill rig. Boring B01 was advanced to a terminal depth of 29 feet bgs; boring B02 was advanced to a terminal depth of 37 feet bgs, boring B03 was advanced to a terminal depth of 27.5 feet bgs, and boring B04 was advanced to a terminal depth of 36 feet bgs. Soil samples were collected using a five-foot long by 2.25-inch diameter MacroCore sampler with a five- foot long polyvinyl chloride (PVC) liner, which was advanced by the direct-push drill rig using five-foot long by 1.5-inch diameter drill rods. The sampler was driven into the subsurface to allow undisturbed soil to enter the open MacroCore barrel and retrieved in five-foot intervals to recover the soil-filled liners. A lengthwise section of each PVC liner was removed with a splitting tool to expose the soil. The soil column was visually inspected for discoloration, monitored for odors, and classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The soil column was field-screened at one-foot intervals with a photoionization detector (PID) calibrated to isobutylene. None of the PID readings suggested the presence of elevated volatile organics concentrations. Please refer to Appendix A for boring logs. Soil depths selected for laboratory analysis were sampled directly from the liners using laboratory- supplied vials and jars. The jars were filled with soil to capacity to minimize headspace and reduce the potential for volatilization. The jars and vials were labeled for identification and stored in an iced cooler. In boring SB01, a sample was collected at 6.0 feet bgs, near the inferred base of the subsurface anamoly. As no elevated PID readings were observed, samples in borings B02, B03, and B04 were collected from just above the terminal depths, 36.0 feet bgs, 27.0 feet bgs, and 35.0 feet bgs, respectively. Following sampling activities the boreholes were backfilled with hydrated bentonite chips following sampling activities. Boreholes advanced in improved areas were capped with asphalt patch to match existing ground cover after being backfilled. Phase II Subsurface Investigation 500 West 5th Street Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101 Partner Project Number 14-131345.4 March 4, 2015 Page | 6 No significant amounts of derived wastes were generated during this investigation. Laboratory Analysis Partner collected four soil samples on February 10, 2015, which were transported in an iced cooler under proper chain-of-custody protocol to Pace Analytical Services, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina, a North Carolina state-certified laboratory. The four soil samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons – gasoline range organics (TPH-GRO) in accordance with EPA Method 8015. Regulatory Agency Guidance The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Waste Management, Underground Storage Tank Section (UST Section) has established an Action Level of 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for TPH-GRO in soil. Should THP-DRO exceed the Action Level, additional analyses are required to determine whether a release requiring remediation has occurred. Laboratory Analytical Results Laboratory analytical results are included in Appendix C and discussed below. Soil Sample Analytical Results None of the analyzed soil samples contained detectable concentrations of TPH-DRO. Refer to Table 2 for a summary of the soil sample laboratory analysis results. Discussion The 2,000-gallon waste oil UST was not tested, due to the access limitations described above. However, as this UST is empty and has never been used, Partner does not expect that it has adversely impacted the subject property and no further investigation associated with the 2,000-gallon empty waste oil UST is warranted. The 2,000-gallon diesel UST and subsurface portions of associated product and return lines passed tightness testing, and as such, Partner does not expect that it has adversely affected the subject property. As such, no further investigation associated with the 2,000-gallon diesel UST is warranted. During advancement of the soil borings, no visual or olfactory evidence of a release was observed, and field-screening with a PID did not indicate the presence of VOCs. Additionally, TPH-GRO was not detected in any of the four soil samples. Coupled with the fact that the geophysical survey did not detect anomalies indicative of USTs in the former filling station area, Partner does not expect that the former filling station has adversely affected the subject property, and no further investigation associated with the former filling station is warranted. Summary and Conclusions Partner conducted a Phase II Subsurface Investigation at the subject property to investigate the potential impact of petroleum hydrocarbons as a consequence of a release or releases from a 2,000-gallon waste Phase II Subsurface Investigation 500 West 5th Street Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101 Partner Project Number 14-131345.4 March 4, 2015 Page | 7 oil UST, a 2,000-gallon diesel UST, and a former filling station. The scope of the Phase II Subsurface Investigation included UST tightness testing, a geophysical survey and four soil and borings. Four soil samples were analyzed for TPH-GRO. The 2,000-gallon waste oil UST is empty and has never been used and does not pose a threat to the subject property. The 2,000-gallon diesel UST and associated subsurface product and return lines passed tightness testing, indicating that they have not leaked. The geophysical survey did not identify the presence of USTs and/or excavations and/or anomalies. Field screening of soil borings did not indicate the presence of a petroleum or VOC release; further, THP- GRO was not detected in any of the soil borings. Based on the results of the Subsurface Investigation, there is no evidence of a release of hazardous materials from the 2,000-gallon diesel UST or former filling station, and Partner recommends no further investigation with respect to these features at this time.
