J <br />November 03, 2010 <br />Mr. David Relos, Economic Development Planner <br />Community and Economic Development <br />City of South Bend <br />1200 County -City Building <br />227 West Jefferson Boulevard <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Subject: Proposal for Phase II Environmental Site Assessment <br />Enyart Electric Motor Repair Facility <br />122 E. Sample Street <br />Elkhart, Indiana <br />PES Proposal #P10 -117 <br />Dear Mr. Relos: <br />Phifer Environmental Services, LLC. has recently completed a Phase I Environmental <br />Site Assessment of the property identified as the Enyart Electric Motor Repair facility, <br />located at 122 E. Sample Street. The current tenant, Mr. Rich Siri, owns the business, <br />and leases the facility from the property owner, identified as the Patricia Enyart <br />Revocable Trust. Also owned by the Patricia Enyart Revocable Trust and included as <br />part of this Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, are adjoining former residential lots <br />that include, by address, 117, 119, 121 and 123 E. Ohio Street, with such lots being <br />vacant or serving as access drives and gravel covered parking areas. Together the <br />subject lots constitute approximately 0.4875 -acres of land. <br />As documented by the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, the following <br />Recognized Environmental Conditions were identified for their potential for <br />environmental impact to the subsurface environmental: <br />1) The subject site (122 E. Sample Street) was identified as a location of a former <br />6,000 gallon heating oil tank by the regulatory database search. The UST, which <br />was removed from the ground in January 1990, was reportedly assessed for <br />potential releases at the time of the tank removal. However, no records of the <br />assessment were available through the current tenant or search of the IDEM <br />Virtual File Cabinet. We note that in 1990, the requirements were for retention of <br />records for only a period of up to three years. Therefore, in the absence of any <br />available information regarding the assessment of the UST at the time of removal; <br />the former UST system is considered to be a Historical Recognized Environmental <br />Condition. We note that the use of the UST was as an on -site consumptive fuel <br />(heating oil), and that the system would be considered "exempt" by current <br />regulations. <br />2502 Lincoln Way West P.O. 430 Mishawaka, IN 46546 (574)968 -7191 (574) 255 -4699 <br />
