Jefferson Blvd., Suite 1400 S <br /> South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br /> RE: PROPOSAL FOR PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT, NORTHWEST <br /> CORNER OF INTERSECTION OF COLFAX AVENUE AND SOUTH HILL STREET, <br /> SOUTH BEND, INDIANA (PROPOSAL #JPRE14-008) <br /> Dear Ms. Sieradzki and Mr. Kain: <br /> As you are aware, Jones Petrie Rafinski (JPR) has been retained by the City of South Bend, <br /> Department of Community Investment for the completion of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment <br /> of the proposed Colfax Hill Partners, LLC development site, located at the northwest corner of the <br /> intersection of East Colfax Avenue and North Hill Street. Existing snow accumulation at the subject site <br /> has prevented us from completing the Phase I efforts. However, based upon our initial review of the <br /> prior environmental site assessment documents and the proposed future development of the site, we <br /> believe that there is a potential need for additional Environmental Assessment to further evaluate the <br /> potential for on-site contamination with respect to historical service station operations, and the potential <br /> for impacts from drainage and potential contaminant migration. <br /> Accordingly, the following subsections present our understanding of the prior environmental <br /> assessments and the need for additional environmental assessment. Per your request, We have also <br /> presented a proposed Scope of Services and Estimated Fee for the completion of such services. <br /> PRIOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS <br /> Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (portions only) — dated March 11, 2002, as completed <br /> for the City of South Bend Community and Economic Development by EIS Environmental <br /> Engineers, Inc. <br /> Subject site is identified as two parcels owned by Mr. Ernest Bryant (529 and 517 East Colfax Avenue), <br /> and an adjoining vacant lot (211 North Hill Street), being owned by Vern V. and Mary Margaret Planck. <br /> jprl source.com <br />
