Additional Property Attributes

The Riggins purchased both properties in 1992 when the opportunity arose to take over the construction and home remodeling business already operating on site. The property located to the north had been a residential home but as part of the sale agreement, the previous owner demolished the structures. This portion of the property has remained vacant since that time. While it is known that a janitorial service operated out of the current building prior to the construction businesses, little else was known about the historical uses. The garage doors and curb cuts are indicative of an automotive repair shop but the property owners were unsure of this previous use. The Phase I ESA revealed that the "the western portion of the subject property was developed with two single family residences from approximately 1912 through 1991, when both residences were removed." The Phase I also states that "the southeastern portion of the property was developed with a retail gasoline fueling station and garage from approximately 1924 until the early 1950s, when use of the service station was discontinued. This portion of the property was listed as being vacant from the early 1950s until 1969, when the current commercial building was constructed. From 1969 to 1991, the current commercial building was listed as being either vacant, or being occupied by a general construction contracting company." These previous uses prompted a Phase II ESA. The Phase II discovered a 16 feet long by 4 feet wide underground storage tank (UST) but soil analysis near the tank did not reveal any contamination associated with the UST. Additional soil samples from around the property (near former residences and the southeastern portion of the property) did reveal low levels of diesel and oil-range petroleum and PAHs but the levels discovered do not warrant a cleanup action. The shallow soils along the north side of the building contained some elevated levels of lead but nothing that warrants a cleanup action for the current use of the building. The consultants suggest that the UST system be decommissioned by a DEQ-licensed contractor and that if any excavation occurs, a Contaminated Media Management Plan be used for shallow soil areas where contaminats in the soil may not meet clean-fill requirements. The Riggins are interested in redeveloping both lots in order to expand their business offices and storage space. While nothing is set in stone, they are exploring the idea of adding work-live spaces and rental spaces for small emerging businesses. Furthermore, they envision an energy efficient building with rooftop solar panels, retaining stormwater onsite with bioswales, and improving their material recycling station. The Riggins have lived in the area for over 40 years and are very involved in the neighborhood as members of the Alberta Main Street and volunteers for Friends of Last Thursday (FOLT). They came to the Brownfield Program for assistance with site assessments as a first step to receiving loans and other financial assistance on this project.

Former Use: According to the Phase I ESA and historical documentation, "the western portion of the subject property was developed with two single family residences from approximately 1912 through 1991, when both residences were removed." The Phase I also states that "the southeastern portion of the property was developed with a retail gasoline fueling station and garage from approximately 1924 until the early 1950s, when use of the service station was discontinued. This portion of the property was listed as being vacant from the early 1950s until 1969, when the current commercial building was constructed. From 1969 to 1991, the current commercial building was listed as being either vacant, or being occupied by a general construction contracting company. Mr. Riggins acquired the entire property in 1991 and has utilized the building as an office, shop, and warehouse for a residential remodeling business from 1991 to the presen
