Former Stetve`s Marathon Service Station Facility in South Bend, Indiana -Proposal #1,12(�194)7-151 Page 2 1.0 Site Background The former Steve's Marathon Service Station facility, located at 534 North LaPorte Avenue in South Bend, Indiana, consists of a former gasoline service station located on approximately 0.11- acres of land situated on one parcel (Parcel ID #71-08-02-354-011.000-026). The site consists of a one-story former gasoline service station building with associated paved parking and landscaped areas. The site is located in a predominately residentially developed area northwest of downtown South Bend. Heartland understands that the site is being evaluated for future redevelopment; therefore, site activities are being conducted to prepare the site for future redevelopment activities. Based on a review of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Virtual File Cabinet (VFC), the site was registered as having three (3) steel gasoline USTs of unknown capacity being in use in August 1987. A review of available IDEM UST Notification Forms further indicated that the site had two (2) fiberglass USTs of unknown capacity that were empty as of August 1987 and that were last utilized in July 1986. The USTs were identified as being at least 10 years of age in August 1987. Additional documentation in the VFC indicated that the facility was inactive and abandoned during an inspection conducted by IDEM on March 17, 1998. No additional information, including UST closure, subsurface assessment and/or sampling documentation pertaining to the site was available for review within the IDEM VFC. The site is currently owned by the Civil City of South Bend. On June 24, 2019, the IBP issued an RFP for the site. The proposed scope of work includes the completion of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), a geophysical survey, the removal of two (2) 2,000-gallon and three (3) 3,000-gallon USTs, the removal of up to 1,500 tons of contaminated soil, the removal of up to 1,500-gallons of petroleum liquid/sludge, advancement of up to eight (8) soil borings, and the installation of up to five (5) groundwater monitoring wells with quarterly sampling for two years. 2.0 Technical and Operational Approach to Scope of Services Heartland has reviewed the IBP's RFQ and is willing to provide services related to each of the scope of services items outlined by the IBP.
