Additional Property Attributes

Observed levels of Arsenic in subsurface soils at the project site above residential soil RGs may be typical of background levels in areas of Nebraska. As such, observed arsenic concentrations in project site soils are not a significant concern with respect to property liability and/or constructability concerns with the projected redevelopment of the project site into loft apartments. Concentrations of lead slightly above residential RGs at one location are considered isolated and not widespread. In addition, there is no indication that the project site has been impacted by contamination from the Omaha Lead Site (OLS), a USEPA NPL site related to the former Asarco lead smelting operation in downtown Omaha. Therefore, observed lead concentrations in project site soils are not a significant concern with respect to property liability and/or constructability concerns with the redevelopment of the project site. The presence of TEH in soils at SB-4 is considered isolated, of generally insignificant concentration, and not a significant concern with respect to property liability and/or constructability concerns with the redevelopment of the project site. Also the presence of TEH in groundwater at SB-21 is considered a generally minimal concentration and is not a significant concern with respect to property liability and/or constructability concerns with the redevelopment of the project site. Observed ACM in project structures is currently non-friable and in generally good condition, and therefore, the Property ACM do not pose an immediate threat to human health. If the ACM materials will be disturbed during construction, renovation, or the structure demolition, such ACM should be removed according to Nebraska Asbestos Control Program Regulations and with proper notification provided to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and the City of Omaha.

Former Use: The Property consists of four parcels located within one city block; 801 South 16th Street (former Kraft Furniture warehouse building), 1508 Marcy Street (Monico Diesel Engine Service), 1501 Leavenworth Street (paved parking lot), and 1507 Leavenworth Street (vacant lot) located in a mixed use area in downtown Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska. The 1501 and 1507 Leavenworth Street parcels and the 801 South 16th Street parcel are adjoining properties located along Leavenworth Street (from east to west, respectively) and are separated by a city alley from the 1508 Marcy Street parcel located to the south. In total, the parcels encompass approximately 1.65-acres (72,336 square feet [s.f.]) with three structures located thereon; the Kraft furniture building (18,600 s.f.- three floors) constructed in 1916, and the Monico Diesel Engine Service building (9,773 s.f.) and associated garage (600 s.f.) constructed in 1950. The Monico parcel also includes a fenced outdoor storage yard located on both sides of the main building. The Kraft building is not currently operating as a business and is used for storage. The top floor is still arranged as it was when Kraft Discount Center was in business prior to 2011 and contains furniture and general merchandise. The majority of the second floor is vacant and is being remodeled for a future tenant. A small portion of the second floor in addition to the basement floor is used for storage of Kraft Discount Center merchandise and equipment, and personal belongings of Mr. Kraft. A portion of the lower floor is also occupied by open warehouse space. The Monico parcel is currently operated as Monico Diesel Engine Service; albeit on a limited basis due to the health of Mr. Monico and the current condition of the property. The Monico parcel also has been utilized as a salvage or scrap yard, in addition to providing diesel engine repair services.
