Re: Phase II Environmental Property Assessment Seacrest Property Acquisition 2200 - 2300 Seacrest Boulevard Delray Beach, Florida NEF #747,8 Dear Mr. Becotte: NUTTING ENVIRONMENTAL OF FLORIDA, INC. (NEF) has performed a Phase II Environmental Assessment at the above referenced project in accordance with your authorization of November 24, 1995. This report completes NEF's services at the project as set forth in NEF's proposal. The purpose of this assessment was to develop additional information regarding environmental conditions noted during the Phase I Environmental Property Assessment of December 1995 on the gas station portion of the subject property. For further information regarding our company's qualifications, please visit our World Wide Web page at http://www.gate.neU-nutting/ or contact the undersigned at your convenience. Historical Summary During the course of the Phase I Environmental Property Assessment, a facility located near the southeast property corner, which formerly operated under the names BP, J&W Seacrest Service, and Peltz Gulf Service was identified as former gas/service stations. A review of Building Department plans indicated fourteen underground storage tank (USTs) were possibly historically located at the former gas/service station. Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) files, reviewed by NEF personnel, noted seven USTs reportedly removed by Cherokee Groundwater Consultants, The status of the remaining tanks is unknown (no information was present in the ERM files), NEF recommended a magnetometer survey be performed as a tool to aid in the investigation of buried metallic objects. Further, NEF recommended 15 soil borings be conducted in the vicinity of the tank locations as identified in the building plan records. .. N NUTTING 1 E ~F~~~~~~c~ENTAL Also, NEF recommended three shallow watertable monitor wells be installed near the suspected USTs. Scope of Work NEF has performed a Phase II Environmental Property Assessment at the above referenced project in accordance with your authorization of November 24, 1995. The following activities were completed during the course of this Phase " Assessment: On December 4, 1995, NEF personnel performed a total of 15 soil borings using a drill rig driven split spoon sampling device to obtain soil samples at vertical two foot intervals. NEF visually classified and performed field heads pace testing on the samples. Field headspace testing was conducted in accordance with procedures outlined in Chapter 62-770 Florida Administrative Code (FAC), as cUl}ently adopted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the presence of detectable concentrations of Volatile Organics Compounds (VOCs) utilizing a Flame Ionization Detector (FID). An in-line condensable carbon filter was used to obtain filtered readings to correct for the presence of naturally occurring volatile organic compounds. Net VOC readings were calculated by subtracting the filtered reading from the unfiltered reading for each sample. Gasoline and diesel fuel both contain VOCs, which may be detected with a FID if present in sufficient concentrations. The drilling equipment was decontaminated between each sampling event in accordance with NEF's state approved Comprehensive Quality Assurance Plan #910269G (CQAP). The placement of the soil borings was based on review of building plan records, Please see the attached site map for the specific locations of the soil borings and field headspace testing results. On December 4, 1995, NEF personnel installed 3 shallow watertable monitoring wells (MW-A, MW-B, and MW-C) at locations selected based on the results of the soil boring investigation. The wells were each installed to a total depth of 14 feet below land surface using a B-57 mobile drill rig, Each two inch diameter ten foot long well screen (0.010 inch slot, ASTM Thread) was installed to bracket the watertable (from 4 feet to 14 feet), with a 4 foot PVC riser to the surface, The remaining annulus was packed with 8/20 silica sand to a depth of one foot below land surface. The filter packs were topped with bentonite seals to prevent vertical migration of contaminants. The remaining annular spaces were grouted to the surface, Upon completion of the installation of the wells, the wells were developed until physical parameters stabilized and all traces of PVC shavings were removed. Please see the attached well completion report for further monitoring well construction details. On December 7, 1995, NEF personnel purged and sampled monitoring wells MW-A, MW-B, and MW-C. The wells were sampled in accordance with NEF's CQAP using precleaned teflon bailers, The wells were sampled for laboratory analysis per EPA - N NUTTING 2 E ~F~~~~?~~ENTAL I I Methods 602 (volatile organics), 610 (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons), 418.1 (total I recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons), and 239.2 (filtered and unfiltered lead). Res u Its I Soil I Several tanks appear to have been abandoned in place at the former gas/service station, based on information obtained from the performance of soil borings and the magnetometer survey. I Results of field headspace testing of soil samples obtained during the performance of the soil borings did not reveal the presence of net VOCs in the samples recovered from I the soil borings to be in excess of state standards. Please see Table 1. for results of the headspace testing and lithologic logs for each of the soil borings. I Groundwater Results of the laboratory analysis of water samples, obtained from December 7, 1995, I indicated petroleum compounds to be below laboratory detection limits in the samples evaluated and below State Target Levels promulgated in Chapter 62-770 FAC (as currently adopted by the DEP), as follows: II I Summary of Groundwater Quality Results Results Stated in Parts Per Billion u II , exce t for TRPH. stated in Parts Per Million m IL w II Well Date Benzene Total Total TRPH VOAs Naphs II MW-A 12/12/95 SOL SOL SOL SOL MW-S 12/12/95 SOL SOL SOL SOL I MW-C 12/12/95 SOL SOL SOL SOL '-' , State Target level 1 50 100 5 BDL: Below Laboratory Detection Limits.

According to records on file with Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management (ERM), seven underground storage tanks (USTs) located on I site are registered with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). These tanks were reportedly installed in 1967 and include six 3,000 gallon USTs which were used for storing leaded and unleaded gasoline and one 550 gallon UST which I stored waste oil. These tanks were reportedly removed by Cherokee Groundwater Consultants on September 14, 1989. Approximately 50 cubic yards of soil were removed. Cherokee Groundwater Consultants reported on-site organic vapor analyzer I (OVA) readings of less than 1.0 ppm. According to the Cherokee report of September 14, 1989, the excavated soils were backfilled into the tank excavation. I A review of Buildíng Department plans revealed a total of fourteen possible tank locations which may have historically resided on the subject property. Other than the seven tanks reportedly removed by Cherokee Groundwater Consultants, there is no I documented information regarding the status of the USTs at the subject site. A divestiture site assessment performed by The International Technology Corporation II in December 1990 concluded the following for the vacant gas station on the subject site: "No phase separated hydrocarbons were detected in any of the monitoring wells. No dissolved gasoline constituents were detected during laboratory analysis of I groundwater samples from wells MW-1 through MW-5 by EPA Methods 601/602 and 625, modified to include MTBE. No petroleum odors were noted in soil samples I collected from each boring and no OVA responses (0 ppm) were recorded by the IT field geologist. Laboratory analysis of select soils samples showed low concentrations of total petroleum hydrocacbons in the samples collected during the installation of I monitoring wells MW-3 and MW-5. Detectable levels of TPH were not present in the samples collected from MW-1, MW-2, and MW-4, No hydrocarbons were detected in solid samples collected from MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-4 and MW-5 and analyzed by I EPA Method 8020, and none of the samples were ignitable. Gasoline range volatiles and metals were not detected in the TCLP extraction analysis of the soil sample collected form monitoring well MW-5." I NEF noted six monitoring wells located in the vicinity of the former gas/service station. Three of the six wells were abandoned by backfilling with bentonite sealant. The three I remaining wells were inspected by NEF personnel and were observed to be shallow monitoring wells with screen intervals bracketing the water table. NEF recommends fifteen soil borings be performed in the vicinity of the former tank locations to a I ~ . NUTTING I ENVIRONMENTAL E OF FLORIDA, INC. . , . minimum depth of four feet below the watertable. Soil samples should be collected at vertical 2' intervals and field screened for VOCs using an OV A. Further, NEF recommends installation of three 2" diameter PVC shallow watertable monitor wells to evaluate groundwater quality. The three wells should be placed to effect the best possible coverage of the former tankfield. A groundwater sample should be collected from each of the three monitor wells for laboratory analysis per EPA Methods 602 (volatile aromatics), 610 (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons), 418,1 (total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons), and 239.2 (filtered and unfiltered lead). NEF recommends a limited magnetometer survey be performed in the areas of the suspected tankfields. A magnetometer survey is used as a tool to trace metallic underground utilities, and information gained from this procedure would be valuable in assessing the current status of the fourteen USTs which were noted in the "as built" building plans. Based on the results of the soil borings, magnetometer survey and groundwater analysis, NEF may recommend the installation and sampling of two additional monitor wells, Groundwater samples would subsequently be collected from these monitor wells and analyzed per the above noted EPA Methods to further evaluate groundwater conditions in the vicinity of the abandoned gas station. An unlabeled 55 gallon blue plastic drum was noted inside a fenced compound on-site that encompasses a former potable well and treatment system. NEF recommends the contents be characterized and the drum be properly disposed. ,.
