Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: Aerial photographs reviewed during previous investigations indicate that the Property has been used for bulk fuel storage and distribution since at least 1971. In a September 1984 photograph, construction of the school and the Hughes power generation plant is apparent, coinciding with development associated with the City�s incorporation in 1973. The generator building was located immediately south of the washateria building and was fueled from 55-gallon drums. At a later date, the generator building was upgraded to a skid mounted generator plant connected to the City tank farm via buried pipeline. The generator building was dismantled in 2007, and the area is now referred to as the �Footprint of Former Generator Building�. The Property was used for fuel storage and distribution until the City of Hughes moved its fuel storage and power generation facilities to the southeast airport apron in 2005, and the school built a new tank farm closer to the school in 2006. Based on the ADEC Contaminated Sites Database, flood waters damaged both the former school tank farm and the City of Hughes�s fuel AST (the currently out-of-use AST on Lot 11) in 1994. In 1995, an ADEC representative collected surface soil samples adjacent to the former tank farm and City�s fuel AST. Diesel range organics (DRO) concentrations of up to 39,500 parts per million (ppm) were reported in a sample collected from soil near the former school tank farm. Starting in August 1996, some of the water samples periodically collected from the community drinking water well contained benzene and ethylbenzene at concentrations less than the cleanup criteria. The contaminant source is suspected to be the bulk fuel storage facilities or the former generator building, which are both located near the drinking water well.
