Institutional and Engineering Controls

The presence of benzo(a)anthracene, lead and manganese at concentrations above their respective IDEM RCG Residential Tap Screening Level in one or more groundwater samples collected from the Property may be attributed to sediment interference and may not be representative of dissolved concentrations. No other VOCs, PAHs, or metals were detected in the groundwater samples at concentrations above laboratory RLs during our assessment. Because potable water is provided to the Property by the local municipal water system, the current direct contact pathway is incomplete. To eliminate potential future direct contact with the groundwater, a groundwater use restriction through implementation of and ERC may be warranted.

Additional Property Attributes

A Phase I ESA was performed on the property for the CLINTON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 259 East Walnut Street Frankfort, Indiana 46041 using Region V TBA funds. A Phase II ESA was perfomed using TBA funds. The Site consists of three separate tracts: Tract A, Tract B, and Tract C. Tract A is 6.89 acres and contains seven buildings: the roundhouse, a machine shop, a coach shop, a yard office, outbuilding no. 1 (a former storage building), outbuilding no. 2 (a former women�s locker room), and outbuilding no. 3 (a former transformer storage building). Tract B is a 0.88 acre, vacant, triangular-shaped lot located approximately 200 ft to the east of Tract A. Tract C is located adjacent west of Tract A and is a 3.59 acre rectangular lot containing a yard office building and a parking lot.

Former Use: According to the earliest available historical Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, in 1898 the Subject Property was owned by the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City Railroad (commonly referred to as the �Clover Leaf Railroad�) and contained eight structures, including a 12-stall roundhouse and turntable. The Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City Railroad was reorganized in 1900 and renamed as the Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad. At this time the company operated approximately 450 miles of rail line between Toledo and East St. Louis. In 1922, the Toledo, St. Louis, and Western Railroad became part of the New York, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad (better known as the �Nickel Plate Railroad�). The roundhouse building was destroyed in a fire in 1924 and was rebuilt in 1926. In 1964, the New York, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad merged with Norfolk & Western. In 1982, Norfolk & Western merged with the Southern Railway to become the present-day owner, NSRC. The roundhouse building has been vacant since the early 1990s. NSRC owns the 11.4-acres of the Subject Property containing the roundhouse and associated structures. In 2009, the Frankfort-Midwest Rail Heritage Trust, a 501(c)(3) non-profit Indiana Corporation formed in 2005 to preserve American railroad equipment, appliances, and structures focusing on the Nickel Plate Railroad Roundhouse, gained possession of the yard office building in Tract C in a non-revenue lease agreement with NSRC. The Frankfort-Midwest Rail Heritage Trust and the Clinton County Chamber of Commerce/Economic Development have intentions to restore the Subject Property into a community center, small business complex, and museum focusing on the role of America�s railroads and their employees during World War II.
