I I I I I , , , - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Information available from the USDA, USGS and MPCA, conversations with Moundsview School District and NCR Comten personnel, and a professional site inspection were considered to evaluate the potential for soil and/or ground-water and asbestos impacts at the Property. Based upon this information, it is found that: 1) The 1962 Property was agricultural and/or vacant when a school was constructed on the until Property. 2) Shallow ground-water flow direction beneath Property is likely varied, with the majority of towards the depression on the southern edge of Property. the flow the 3) An underground storage tank (UST) is located north of the building and is assumed to have been installed when the school was built in 1962. 4) A 506 foot deep inactive well is located on the property west of the north end of the building. 5) One CERCLIS, three 1980 Metropolitan Area Waste Disposal Site Inventory, and six spills were documented to occur within a one-mile radius of the Property. Regional and site hydrogeology should prevent potential soil/ground-water impacts from migrating onto the Property. 6) Seven separate suspect asbestos containing materials were identified in the building, two of which appear damaged. Based on these findings, it is Northern Environmental's professional opinion that the potential exists for environmental liabili ties associated with this Property. Therefore, Northern Environmental recommends that additional investigation be completed prior to purchase of the Property. This investigation should include the completion of soil borings in the vicinity of the identified UST and a more comprehensive asbestos inspection program. The presumed age of the UST identified at the Property is well beyond its' normal operating life, especially if it lacks corrosion protection. Since no information exists concerning the integrity or operation of this tank, Northern Environmental recommends that additional investigation be completed around the tank to determine whether site soils or ground water have been affected by the UST system. This investigation should include the completion of several soil borings around the UST with field and laboratory screening to identify whether petroleum impacts are present.
