The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) conducted a Phase I Brownfields Targeted Assessment (BTA) at the 501 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 property into a Holiday Inn hotel. 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 and petroleum products associated with the historical use of the property as a Bottling Works since 1905, the potential existence of an underground storage tank, visible staining and corrosion on the southwest exterior of the building, a washdown basin of unknown use, and an upgradient Orphan Site known as the Dodge City Cooperative Exchange. Due to the potential for soil and/ or groundwater impacts at the BTA site, a Phase II Assessment was recommended. The Phase II was completed in January 2015, and consisted of five 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 42 ft bgs. Ten 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. In addition to the field work described above, a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was also conducted in order to identify the location of an alleged Underground Storage Tank (UST) to the south of the existing building; however, the presence of a UST was not identified and, because of these findings, is unlikely. Various petroleum constituents were detected in surficial soil samples collected from 0 to 1 ft bgs at SP-3, SP-4, SP-5, SP-6, and SP-7, including benzene, n-butylbenzene, ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, trimethylbenzene, and xylenes; however, all concentrations were below their respective KDHE Risk-Based Standards for Kansas (RSK) levels. No petroleum compounds were detected in the surficial soil sample at SP-5, or in any of the samples collected at depth from 2 to 4 ft bgs at SP-2, SP-3, and SP-7. Arsenic, barium, chromium, lead, and mercury were detected in all of the submitted soil samples, and cadmium was detected in SP-2 and SP-7, 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 levels. Due to the absence of COCs above the KDHE RSK levels in soil, it is unlikely that groundwater has been impacted by on-site sources. Additionally, samples collected at depth (2-4 ft bgs) from three of the borings did not detect any petroleum constituents above laboratory detection limits. Furthermore, groundwater depths at the BTA site exceed 42 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 soi
