South Bend edevelopment Comnission <br />Regular Mee ing - May 24, 1991 <br />6. NEW BUSMESS (Cont.) <br />e. <br />Mrs Kolata noted that Matt Stokes from <br />ATE Environmental Services will report <br />on rhe environmental site assessments <br />the r did in the Studebaker Corridor. <br />Mr. Stokes noted that the purpose of the <br />si assessments was to satisfy the <br />Ind-Lana Responsible Party Transfer law. <br />The information will be used in the <br />appraisal of the properties. The report <br />is divided into four sub- sections: <br />asbestos containing materials, <br />and ound storage tanks, soils, and the <br />Avanti building. <br />Fi f --een sites were inspected. Thirteen <br />of those contain the twenty -one buildings <br />whi 721 were inspected. Significant <br />amo mts of asbestos were found in the <br />floor tiles, ceiling tiles, wall board, <br />tra ite materials, insulation, and <br />roo ing materials in these structures. <br />Co idering the age of these buildings, <br />thi finding is not surprising. If <br />d lition of these buildings is desired, <br />the asbestos must be completely removed <br />before demolition. If the buildings are <br />to remain, a maintenance program should <br />be established to keep the asbestos in <br />cTood condition. <br />lots 6, 8, 12, 7, and two abandoned gas <br />stations have underground storage tanks <br />which will need to be removed. The tanks <br />which were able to be tested do not show <br />evidence of leaking into the soils or <br />grot water. The cost of removing an <br />undca,ground tank is approximately <br />$10,000, if the soils are clean. <br />Interior inspections and soil sample <br />testing was done where there was reason <br />to believe there might be contamination. <br />In most cases the contamination was below <br />Mc <br />
