The property has operated as a foundry and metal equipment fabrication industry since its development in the early 1900s. Construction Machinery Company, ceased operations in the early 1980's and a portion of the site was leased to Lull Corporation for the manufacturing and assembling of fork and scissor lifts. The City demolished and removed all above ground structures on the property in 2005 and has since enrolled the site in Iowa's Land Recycling Program(LRP)(Iowa Administrative Code, Chapter 137). The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment(ESA)conducted in September and October of 2001 revealed recognized environmental conditions (RECs) in connection with the former CMC site and surrounding properties. The Phase II ESA conducted in March 2002 confirmed that contamination was present in soil and groundwater. A Phase III ESA was then conducted in the fall of 2003 to further define the extent of the contamination identified during Phase II ESA activities and to provide a site assessment report that met Iowa LRP requirements. Based on the recommendations in the Phase III ESA and review from IDNR, a supplemental investigation was completed and submitted to IDNR in October 2004. Areas of the property identified during the ESAs that will be addresses through the cleanup activities include a former waste disposal trench/burn pit(AOC1) and two 8,000-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) (AOC2). Heterogenous buried waste is located at the former waste disposal trench/ burn pit (AOC 1). Excavation of materials in this area has been proposed as the response action to address the associated health risks. Groundwater containing tetrachloroethene (PCE) and 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene was found in a localized area on the property, not migrating beyond the downgradient property boundary. The response action includes proper removal and disposal of the USTs. These potentially leaking USTs (LUSTs) could continue to impact groundwater. The City ordinance prohibiting private wells should be used as an institutional control for the CMC site. A total of four quarterly groundwater monitoring events, including sampling of MW-1, MW-3 and MW-7, will be conducted to verify that contamination exceeding a statewide standard is not leaving the site. 1 Appendix A BCRLF Loan Application Form Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Application Form For Department Use Only Application Number: Date Received: Information requested in this application is required in order to process your request for financing.
