Additional Property Attributes

The subject property contains unoccupied commercial warehouses located southeast of the intersection of Robberson Avenue and Tampa Street in downtown Springfield and has been utilized as storage for Willow Brook Foods since approximately 2000. During the 2008 Phase I, a visual survey for suspect asbestos containing materials was included as an additional scope of work item. The subject property was identified as being utilized as a stove company from approximately 1910 to 1952. A foundry was located on the northwest portion of the site during this time. Activities conducted at this facility likely used various chemicals including solvents, degreasers, rust inhibitors, and heavy ls. Phase II investigations previously conducted at the Site indicate arsenic impact to soil from this historic use. The subject property was utilized as a portion of the MFA Milling Company for approximately 40 years 1950s to 1990s for seed/feed storage. Fumigants pesticides were reportedly utilized by MFA at other adjoining properties and could have been utilized on the site as well. Previous Phase II investigations at the site did not include analysis for pesticides. A Phase II investigation conducted on a separate parcel of the MFA property identified pesticide impact from this previous use. A nickel plating facility associated with the stove manufacturing company on the subject property business was observed in the southwest portion of the adjacent property to the south on the 1933 and 1950 Sanborn maps. Activities conducted at this facility likely utilized various chemicals including solvents, degreasers, rust inhibitors, and heavy ls. A limited Phase II subsurface investigation was conducted at this property in June 2000 however, analytical results were not compared to MDNR clean-up levels in place at the time. The potential exists for unrecognized environmental impact to exist at the site due to this use. The Phase II was conducted on the subject property in March 2009. Ten soil samples and one groundwater sample were collected from the Site and analyzed. Antimony, lead, and selenium were detected at concentrations above the default target levels DTLs but below applicable Risk Based Target Levels. Arsenic and beryllium were detected at concentrations below the non-residential RBTL however, these detected concentrations are within naturally occurring concentrations for the area. Selenium was detected in the groundwater above the DTL however, this appears to be a naturally occurring compound in groundwater in the area of the site. No other chemicals of concern were identified above DTLs. This investigation did not identify evidence of environmental impact from the previous uses of the site and no additional investigation was recommended. Lafser & Associates subcontracted with Terracon to perform an asbestos and lead-based paint assessment of the property in February 2009. Asbestos containing materials identified at the site included window glazing, linoleum, roofing material, and window caulk. Lead-based paint was found on walls, fire hydrants, pipes, doors and s, ceilings, floors, stairs, and structural support columns. The paint was in fair condition. Additionally, fluorescent light ballasts and fluorescent light bulbs were observed along with general debris on the site. Cleanup will be required in conjunction with demolition. The 2009 Phase I was performed in accordance with AAI standards prior to purchase of the site by Missouri State University. No RECs were identified for the property. A visual survey for suspect asbestos containing materials was included as an additional scope of work item to the Phase I and identified roofing tar, sheet flooring, and transite panels as suspect asbestos containing materials at the site. Based on these findings, any known ACMs should be properly abated if demolition or renovation of the buildings will be conducted. This property is part of the future IDEA Commons for Missouri State University and is currentl
