Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment

Southwest Corner S. Blackman Rd. at E. Berkeley St.

Date of Report: July 12, 2005
Assessment Funding: EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant
Acres: approximately 8.8

Site Background

The property contains a garage structure on the southwest corner of the property. The structure is used by the Blackman Water Treatment Plant for storage purposes. The remainder of the property is undeveloped and tree covered.

Findings

No recognized environmental conditions were found. An environmental concern was identified in regards to the asphalt roofing materials on the garage structure. These roofing components should be considered suspect asbestos-containing materials. Sampling should be conducted to determine if the roofing materials contain asbestos. If demolition or renovation is planned, then a licensed abatement contractor should be contacted to properly remove and dispose of any asbestos-containing materials. If asbestos-containing materials are identified and are to remain in place, an Operations & Maintenance plan should be developed and implemented for the facility.
