Conducted multiple comprehensive Phase I & Phase II ESAs in From June to September 2002 for the four aforementioned clients. The assessments were conducted according to lending American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and included site inspections, investigation of area geology and hydrogeology, review of site history and land use, review of adjacent property history and land use, review of regulatory agency lists and files, interviews with the property owner and authorized regulatory officials, onsite sampling of soil, groundwater, asbestos, PCB’s, and drummed wastes, and preparation of the ESA report. As part of this project, several leaking UST’s were discovered and removed by Creekside and its subcontractors.

Conducted comprehensive Phase I and II ESA’s and a Risk Assessment to establish a baseline prior to a major real estate transaction commitment. Work involved researching historical operating and land use information for an active chemical distribution facility; preparing a sampling and analysis plan; supervising collection of several dozen shallow soil samples and groundwater samples; evaluating laboratory data; and preparing Phase I and II reports using standard ASTM protocols. Project required gaining knowledge of Illinois EPA’s Tiered Approach to Corrective Action (TACO) regulations and requirements.

Conducted ten Phase I ESA’s between January 1999 and May 2000 for commercial real estate brokers and construction developers. The assessments were conducted according to lending institution standards or American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and included site inspections, investigation of area geology and hydrogeology, review of site history and land use, review of adjacent property history and land use, review of regulatory agency lists and files, interviews with the property owner and authorized regulatory officials, onsite sampling of soil, groundwater, asbestos, PCB’s, and drummed wastes, and preparation of the ESA report.

Conducted a comprehensive Phase I ESA in July 2001 for facility owner looking to sell 11 acres. The assessment was conducted according to lending American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and included site inspections, investigation of area geology and hydrogeology, review of site history and land use, review of adjacent property history and land use, review of regulatory agency lists and files, interviews with the property owner and authorized regulatory officials, onsite sampling of soil, groundwater, asbestos, PCBís, and drummed wastes, and preparation of the ESA report. As part of this project, leaking USTs and contaminated soils were discovered and removed by Creekside and its subcontractors.

Completed extensive Phase II Environmental Site Assessment including records review, hydrogeologic, surface water, soils and ecological risk evaluations; agency file search; personnel interviews; research of environmental investigations on the subject site and on neighboring properties; and pond and sediment sampling and analysis at a former log pond facility owned by Hampton Lumber Company. Met with City of Willamina and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to discuss the investigation results and prepared a work plan to remediate onsite contamination. Target constituents include petroleum hydrocarbons, regulated metals, Sapstain, and volatile organic compounds. Project is “in progress” and cleanup has not yet been authorized.

Completed 12 environmental assessments for facilities in western Oregon as part of a facilities sale project. Facilities included saw, planer, plywood and veneer mills, glue lamination operations, maintenance facilities, woodwaste disposal sites, effluent lagoons, chemical and petroleum product USTs, and wood treating sites. The phase 1 assessment on each property was followed by recommendations for additional site characterization where appropriate and necessary. Completed phased assessments for seven of the facilities, and as a result developed phase 3 work plans for additional assessment or remediation. The majority of the work was completed in approximately nine weeks. Chemicals of concern included:

• polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
• dioxins
• petroleum fuels
• paints
• resins and glues
• regulated metal compounds
• asbestos
• pesticides
• pentachlorophenol

This project involved updating the existing spill prevention control and countermeasure (SPCC) plan as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (Ref.: 40 CFR Part 112 and the Oil Pollution Act [OPA 90]).

Awarded a contract as a team member to provide comprehensive environmental permitting and regulatory guidance for ODOC facilities including the new Day Road facility located in Wilsonville, Oregon (project is “in progress”).
