Property Highlights

The City is constructing a new 10 million Public Works Building on a vacant manufacturing operation located at 625 Glenwood Street. The 150,000 square-foot structure features storage room for 150 vehicles, including motor pool cars, garbage and dump trucks, and motor graders, and will house the street department and central garage operations. Future plans include consolidating traffic operations and building maintenance into the facility. Initial environmental investigations of the 11.4-acre former Construction Machinery Company (CMC) began in January 2001. The manufacturer closed its operations in the late 1990s abandoning approximately 20 buildings in a predominately residential neighborhood. A lack of upkeep caused the vacant site to become blighted and a frequent target of arson fires and vandalism. Likely contamination issues associated with past operations including painting, steel casting, metal staging and cutting, raw and finished product storage, patterns shop work, and sand blasting further inhibited its redevelopment. Concentrations of arsenic, chromium, lead and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exceeded regulatory limits in several soil borings located on the property during the initial and supplemental Phase II and Phase III Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) completed in June, 2002. December 2003, and October 2004. The City submitted a Risk Evaluation and Response Action Plan (RERA Plan) in August 2006 in response to the results of the ESAs. The document recommended removal of two buried rail cars formerly used as underground storage tanks (USTs) along with the surrounding impacted soil and removal of material from a waste trench located along the north side of the property. The RERA Plan was implemented in September 2007. The removal action in the area of the rail cars was completed and satisfied the requirements of the RERA. In the trench area, which was formerly used for disposal and waste burning, material was encountered during removal that was both different in composition and in volume than anticipated. The contents of the trench consisted mainly of large solid pieces of debris rendering the process of treating the soil and placing it back in the trench impossible. As a result, most of the material excavated from the trench was disposed as hazardous waste and the grant budget became inadequate to remove the contents of the entire trench. Additionally, buried drums discovered at the eastern extent of the trench likely contained weathered paint sludge. After determining the RERA could not be fully satisfied, the IDNR, EPA and the City of Waterloo determined additional delineation of the remaining waste in conjunction with this environmental covenant would be necessary to complete the LRP Process. The resulting Site Assessment (SA) included delineation of shallow (Range 1) soil impact in the trench area, and vertical delineation of the trench, as well as a geophysical survey of the trench. The City submitted the SA Report in December 2008. The delineation results defined the area to be included in the site�s Environmental Covenant. The trench was defined by drilling and the geophysical survey. Activity and use limitations and terms include the following: -No wells for any purpose may be placed on the property. -The property shall not be used for purposes described in the definition of a �residential land-use area.� Residential land-use area is defined in Iowa Administrative Code Section 567-137.2(455H). -In the event of a change in land use or transfer of the Property, the Property owner shall notify IDNR and EPA of the change in land use and transfer of Property within thirty days of such event. -No excavation shall occur in the area defined by the map in Exhibit B. In that area, buried waste still exists below grade that is not to be disturbed. The City of Waterloo is in the final stages of obtaining a No Further Action certificate for the site under the IDNR's Land Recycling Program. Remaining t
