1.0 PROJECT SUMMARY i ti6tlhlr7CLrF. Geo-Tech Environmental, Inc. (Geo-Tech) has completed the requested Phase I & II Environmental Site Assessment (Phase 1& II ESA). The subject property is a commercial property located at Broadway & East A St., La Porte, TX 77571. This report was conducted in general accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1527-05 for environmental evaluations. The objective of this evaluation was to identity potential current and/or historical Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) that could be encountered during the construction activities on the subject property. The subject property (two parcels) is located at 117 San Jacinto Avenue and the 100 block (odd number/East side)Broadway, La Porte, Texas 77571. Tract one contains an unoccupied building. Tract two is currently an empty lot. Tract one historically has been a meat mark, upholstery, and food center. Historically tract two was used as a Gasoline Station. At least three tanks were identified on the property. One tank has a label that shows the tank size as 4,000 gallons. Two of tanks were filled and the third approximately half filled with a liquid which appears to be mostly water. If all three tanks are 4,000 gallons then there is approximately 10,000 gallons of liquid in the tanks. The property is located in La Porte in an area where the main streets are populated with apartment complexes, retail and commercial properties. Single family homes dominate the side street areas. The nearest water body is Little Cedar Bayou located more than a mile to the southwest to the of the subject property. The evaluation included site reconnaissance, soil sampling, groundwater sampling and laboratory analyses. The soil was sampled for TPH, Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene. All BTEX samples results were all within TCEQ allowable parameters. TPH was detected and additional analyses should be performed for PAH analyses at the pump island (PIN-30). The TCEQ requires a PAH analyses on TPH detected in the c12 range. The Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) databases reviewed showed a total of 20 EPA/TCEQ regulatory sites and zero RRC oil wells (onsite) containing various historical environmental impairments listed within the database search range. These regulatory sites were not identified as significant environmental risks relative to the subject property. The reviewed TCEQ and EPA database reports showed no environmental impact to the subject property from these facilities. These sites will be discussed later in the 5.0 Regulatory Review section of this report. 1.2 CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS Geo-Tech Environmental, Inc. (Geo-Tech) has performed a Phase I & II ESA in general conformance with ASTM E 1527-05.
