Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: Standard and other historical sources were able to document that the subject property was developed in 1915 with the current Wood Hall building (Building 13 on Figure 3). The property was occupied by various learning institutions (high school, junior college, and college) with several additional buildings constructed between 1936 and 1996 to complete to the current layout. The learning institutions ceased operations in 2003 and a small portion of the campus remained in use by a religious organization until 2008. One building on the property (labeled as Building 9 on Figure 3) has been occupied by the Webster County Emergency 911 Center since approximately 2010. The residence in the northeastern portion (Building 3) has been used as a rental residence since approximately 2011. The remainder of the property was then unoccupied until 2011 when portions of the campus were lightly renovated for use as a temporary high school since the city?s high school was demolished in a tornado. The use by the high school ceased in 2013 and the property has been mostly unoccupied (except for Building 9, as previously discussed) since that time except for buildings being rented for special events. One of the buildings on the subject property was used as a maintenance building (Building 12). Based on the layout of the building, it appears that it was used for storage of maintenance equipment. There are no lifts or evidence of former lifts within the building which would indicate vehicle maintenance had been performed onsite. Additionally, no floor drains or staining were observed in the building. Based on the likely use for storage of maintenance equipment and the lack of staining or floor drains, PM has not identified this use as a REC.

2023 Phase I ESA: A 6.92-acre portion of a larger 18-acre parent parcel

Standard and other historical resources were able to document that the subject property was vacant and wooded land from at least 1952 until between 2004 and 2006 when the southern portion was cleared and driveways were constructed from the south and east adjoining properties. A pond and associated tributaries were visible in the central portion traversing to the south until the property was cleared for residential development in early 2023.

PM observed a flowing seep in the south central portion of the property that consisted of an unidentified dark reddish gray to black, low viscosity liquid. The seep had a neutral/earthy odor and did not have a strong/noxious odor. Based on information from the current owner, he has no knowledge of the source of the seep. Based on visual observations with observed discolorations, the potential exists for contamination to be present.
