Re: Results for Limited Phase U Elaviiroamental Investigation

TRC project No. 46480
Dear Lee.,
TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) conducted a Limited Phase 11 Environmental
Investigation at the above -referenced site on October 6, 2005. The following presents the
findings of our investigation.
F1NDiNGS
Asbestos -Containing Materials[Lead-Based Paint
TRC collected building materials from inside, Wilson's Outdoor Equipment at 500 W. Morgan
Street and from inside the brick building facing; Hillsborough Street (50l -507 Hillsborough and
2 S. West Street). The sampling etermine whether asbestos -containing
g was conducted to d
materials (ACMs) and Iead-based paint were present, and was not intended to be a
comprehensive survey. A total of 35 samples were collected for ACM analysis using polarized
light microscopy by Carolina Enviromnental, Inc. laboratory. A total of 10 samples were
collected for lead paint analysis. The laboratory data sheets are provided in Appendix A.
A total of nineteen floor tile and floor tile mastic samples were collected from each building
and submitted for asbestos analysis. All floor tile and mastic samples contained asbestos, at
contents ranging from, 5% to 35 % asbestos. Fifteen additional samples were collected from
ceiling tiles, wallboard, joint compound and piaster. The back wall of the building space at
505 Hillsborough Street (painted lime green) was plaster and contained .3% asbestos. Materials
containing l % or more asbestos are considered to be ACM. No other building materials
sampled were reported to contain asbestos. The results of the ACM analysis are summarized
in Table 1.
Thirteen paint samples were collected and analyzed for lead content. Nine samples eoutain lead above the analytical detection limit. Three of the samples contained lead above Mize cd

federal standard of 0.5% by weight. The paint was located in 501/503, 505, and 507
Hillsborough Street, as summarized in Table 1.
Soil
TRC installed a total of 5 soil borings using Geoprobe direct -push technology to investigate
soil quality around the site. The boring locations are illustrated in Figure 1 and the boring lop
are provided in Appendix B. The original scope of work was for the installation of borings;
however, based upon site observations, 2 additional borings were installed at the sits, Soil
from all of the borings was screened on two -foot intervals for organic vapors using a TVA
1000 photo -ionization detector (PID). Soil samples were collected from two of the borings
(SB-1 and 8B-2) and submitted for laboratory analyses. The soil interval with the highest PID
readings from these borings Was submitted to Prism Laboratories -and analyzed for volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) by USEPA Method 9260 and semi-VOCs by USEPA Method
8270_
Soil boring SS -I was installed near the southeast corner of the property, near the intersection
of West Street and Morgan Street and topographically downgradient from all structures. The
boring was screened for organic vapors down to 16 feet below Iand sutfiacc (b1s). Very slight
vapors were identified with the PfD. Asa result, a soil sample was submitted for VOC and
semi-VOC analyses. Laboratory analysis of this sample indicated no constituents were present
above the laboratory detection limit.
Soil boring; SB-2 was installed outside a bay door on the cast side of Wilson's Outdoor
Equipment. The boring was extended to 12 feet bls. A vapor reading of 40 parts per million
(ppm) was recorded at the 2 - 4 foot interval. As a result, a soil sample was submitted for VOC
and semi-VOC analyses. Laboratory analysis Of This sample indicated no constituents were
present above the laboratory detection limit.
Soil boring S13-3 was extended behind the 501 Hillsborough Street building in a location
topographically downgradient from potential former fuel oil tanks. The boring was extended
to I2 ft bls. No soil impacts were identified with the PID; therefore, a sample was not collected
for laboratory analysis.
Soil boring (SB-4) was installed near the southwest corner of the site, along Morgan Street.
The boring was installed topographically downgradient from a former paint room to a depth of
12 feet bls. The PID indicated no soil impacts; therefore, a soil sample was not submitted for
laboratory analysis.
Due to the potential for underground storage tanks, the presence of two metal caps in the
parking lot was investigated, which was outside the original scope of work. TXC was able to
remove one of the caps, which revealed a vault or tank that terminated approximately 6 feet
bls. The .purpose of this structure is unknown, but it may be a wastewater sump or oil/water
separator. Petroleum odors were not noted. Boring SB-5 was installed adjacent to this
LIMS ProperticeRBs tvrrpLdnc

structure and screened for vapors. Tlie boring was extended to 8 feet b1s. No soil impacts
were identified with the PFD; therefore, a sample was not collected for laboratory analysis.
Groundwater
Topographically downgradient borings SB-1 and SB-4 were extended to intercept the water
table using Geoprobe direct gush technology. Boring SB-1 was extended to 40 feet bls and
boring SBA was extended to 36 feet bls. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 25.5
feet bls in the borings. Well screen -was placed inside the Geoprobs rods in each boring from
32 to 3 6 feet bls and a peristaltic pump was used to collect a groundwater sample after purging
each well for approximately 10 minutes. The boreholes were abandoned and finished with a
concrete patch upon sample collection. The groundwater samples were submitted to Prism
Laboratories and analyzed for'V'OCs acid semi-VOCs by the same analytical methods.
The groundwater sample collected from boring SB-4 outside the former paint room, contained 8
VO s, as summarized in Table 2. Two constituents were detected above the NCAC 2L
Standards and one constituent detected does not have a standard. The North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) considers any'detection of a
constituent without a standard to be a violation of groundwater quality and the standard
becomes the laboratory detection limit. Naphthalene was detected at 26 micrograms per liter
(ug/L) and the naphthalene standard is 21 ug/L. Tetrachloroethene was detected at 2.3 ug/L
and the tetrachloroethene standard is 0.7 ug/L. p4sopropyltoluene was detected at 13 ug/L and
There is slot NCAC 2L Standard.
No constituents were detected in the groundwater sample collected from boring SB-1.
CONCLUSIONS
Asbestos is present within flooring material at every address at the subject property. Lead.
based paint is present in limited areas above federal standards in building spaces along
1'`iillsbomugh Street. Although the building materials investigation was not a comprehensive
survey, the results indicate that caution should be taken during building renovations.
VOCs were detected in the groundwater sample collected adjacent to the former paint room
(boring SB-4). Impacted groundwater was not encountered in boring SB-1, which was
installed approximately 75 feet east of SB-4. The concentrations of constituents detected in
groundwater, although low, are considered a discharge by the NCDENR Division of Water
Quality, All discharges are required to be reported to NCDENR under 15A NCAC 2L .0106.
TRC recommends you share this information with Rogers Realty, the party responsible for
notifying NCDFNR.
