Additional Property Attributes

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) conducted a Phase I Brownfields Targeted Assessment (BTA) at the 400 Block of West Trail in Dodge City, Kansas. The BTA was completed for the Dodge City/ Ford County Development Corporation, who intends to assist the city and the Leisure Hotel Group with redevelopment of the vacant property into retail stores and greenspace. The project will be facilitated by the Heritage District Star Bond Program and the Neighborhood Revitalization Program. Based on the Phase I report, �Recognized Environmental Conditions� (RECs) were identified as potential releases of hazardous substances associated with the historical use of the property as a blacksmith shop and railroad spur, and the upgradient Dodge City Cooperative Exchange Site, which is currently enrolled in the Orphan Sites Program. Due to the potential for soil and groundwater impacts at the BTA site, a Phase II Assessment was recommended. The Phase II was completed in January 2015, and consisted of four soil borings with a total depth of 15 feet (ft) below ground surface (bgs), and one collocated soil and groundwater boring to a refusal depth of 47 ft bgs. Six soil samples, including one duplicate, were collected and analyzed for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) eight metals: arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium and silver. No groundwater samples were collected because groundwater did not readily enter the boring. Xylenes were detected in the surficial soil sample at NP-2 (0 to 1 ft bgs) and both xylenes and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene were detected at NP-4 (0 to 1 ft bgs), but all concentrations were below their respective KDHE Risk-Based Standards for Kansas (RSK) levels. No other VOCs were detected above the laboratory detection limit in any of the collected soil samples. Arsenic, barium, chromium, and lead were detected in all of the submitted soil samples; cadmium was detected in NP-2, NP-4, and NP-5; and mercury was detected in NP-2, NP-3, and NP-5, but all concentrations were below their respective KDHE RSK levels. Based on this data, no contaminants of concern (COC) exist in the soil above KDHE RSK standards. Although no groundwater samples were collected at the BTA site, the potential nitrate impacts to groundwater are related to the upgradient Dodge City Cooperative Exchange site, which is enrolled and currently being addressed through the Orphan Sites Program. The metals and petroleum compounds detected in soil samples and are not indicative of a release due to their concentrations below the KDHE RSK level. Because of the absence of COCs above the KDHE RSK levels in soil, it is unlikely that groundwater has been impacted by on-site sources. Furthermore, groundwater depths at the BTA site exceed 47 ft bgs and seem to be declining. For example, groundwater monitoring data at the BNSF- Dodge City Rail Yard (C1-029-70945) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) site, located approximately one mile to the east of the BTA site, documents that nine monitoring wells within the shallow groundwater aquifer have been dry since the early 2000s. Notwithstanding, best management practices should be implemented if contamination is discovered during redevelopment and/ or soil excavation. At this time, it is not likely that the potential groundwater impacts will hinder the redevelopment of the property into a retail store, and the property is cleared for redevelopment.

Former Use: 1887-1900 residential use and blacksmith shop in northeast corner. 1900-1950s vacant lots with rail spurs. 1960s to present vacant parking lot. Current owner is Gary Chaffin and has owned for at least 40 years.
