• The Shelard Gr� <br />STS Project No. 94039 <br />March 9, 1987 <br />Page 2 <br />west of the site. The 1974 photograph shows the two build- <br />ings still in existence. Based on our conversations with <br />members of the engineering and inspection staff of the City <br />of Roseville, these buildings are those belonging to Kath <br />Petroleum. This operation which sold gasoline at retail, as <br />well as fuel oil and other commodities on a job basis was <br />known as being "rather sloppy". Trucks and automobiles <br />parked north of the buildings extend approximately two-thirds <br />of the distance to Transit Avenue. Several additional, auto- <br />mobiles and an additional semi -trailer truck, are located <br />adjacent to Transit. Avenue and west of Rice Street. No above <br />grade storage tanks are visible. However, several of those <br />trucks may be tanker trucks based on this photo. <br />The 1980 photograph shows the site again to be vacant, the <br />Kath Petroleum buildings having been removed, and the ground <br />surface apparently regraded or leveled to eliminate all <br />traces of former activity. <br />The 1985 photograph shows the Steichens facility at the <br />northwest quadrant of the intersection of County Road B2 and <br />Rice Street. We understand from our conversation with you as <br />well as the City of Roseville engineering department that <br />petroleum contaminated soils were excavated from this site <br />prior to the construction of this new building. <br />Sast;d on the air photo review, it does not appear that there <br />is a great possibility of contamination of the soils, other <br />than ivolated areas due to small petroleum spills to the <br />north of the existing Steichens building. Although we cannot <br />positively say small areas or zones of contaminated soil <br />exist, the possibility of extensive areas appears remote. <br />1 am enclosing for your information a photostatic copy of the <br />June 1974 air photo of this site. <br />We hope that this evaluation is of ,assistance to you. if we <br />may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to <br />contact us, <br />very truly yours, <br />STS CONSU LT ANTS , LTD. <br />James H.
