Subject: Proposal from Wightman Petrie
Phase I Updates and Phase 11 Environmental Site Assessments
Date: April 4, 2012
Attached is a proposal from Wightman Petrie for environmental assessment work at property owned
by Hamilton Body Shop and Towing (Hamilton). Staff has been in discussion with the owners of
Hamilton for several years about the purchase of their property at 802 -812 S. Lafayette, 910 -912 S.
Lafayette and 901 -917 S. Lafayette. Recently the owners of Hamilton have indicated their interest in
selling the property to the Commission. They are interested in an agreement for all three properties
with transfer of title taking place on a staged basis over a two year period. The property at 802 -812
S. Sample is adjacent to the Indiana Michigan Power sub - station and this property will be needed for
I & M to expand its sub - station as part of Kevin Smith's Renaissance Project. The other two
properties are adjacent to Ignition Park and are included in the master planning for Ignition Park.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments were completed in November 2008 for each of the three
properties. They suggested additional environmental testing at each of the three locations. This
work includes the use of ground penetrating radar to determine if any Underground Storage Tanks
are still located on the properties, soil sampling, groundwater sampling and dye tracing of existing
trench drains located in the buildings to determine if they are discharging to the sanitary sewer
system. In addition, the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment must be updated within six months
of acquiring title to the property. The Wightman Petrie proposal includes Phase I updates for two of
the properties as the third property is not expected to be acquired for about two years.
The staff recommendation is to approve the proposal from Wightman Petrie in the amount of
$20,800. This will allow us to move forward with the Phase II testing as soon as possible to
determine if there are any environmental conditions at the properties and to update the Phase I
assessments once a purchase agreement is finalized.
Please contact me at 235 -9374 or akolata a,southbendin.gov if you have any questions.

RE: PROPOSAL FOR PHASE I UPDATES AND PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE
ASSESSMENTS, HAMILTON BODY SHOP /HAMILTON TOWING FACILITIES, SOUTH
LAFAYETTE BLVD., SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, PROPOSAL # WP12 -020
Wightman Petrie is pleased to submit this proposal for performing Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment Updates for the two (2) properties (802 -812 S. Lafayette Blvd., 910 -912 S. Lafayette Blvd.)
identified as being occupied by Hamilton Towing operations, as well as Phase II Environmental Site
Assessment (soil and groundwater sampling) for the aforementioned Hamilton Towing properties, and the
Hamilton Body Shop, located at 901 -917 S. Lafayette Blvd., in South Bend, Indiana. All three (3) of the
properties were the subject of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments performed by Wightman
Environmental, Inc. (WEI) dated November 10 and November 14, 2008, for which recommendations for
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments were made. We understand that the City of South Bend is
currently negotiating the purchase of the three (3) properties, with the idea of taking immediate
possession of the 802 -812 S. Lafayette Blvd. and 910 -912 S. Lafayette Blvd. tracts, and allowing for
continued occupation, through some pre- determined date, for the 901 -917 S. Lafayette property. As
such, the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Update for the 901 -917 S. Lafayette Blvd. property,
which has a time limitation of 6 months from the date of issuance, will be scheduled for a later date, which
coincides with possession of the 901 -917 S. Lafayette Blvd. property by the City of South Bend.
The City of South Bend is interested in performing environmental due diligence for each of the properties
prior to taking possession as part of the proposed real estate transaction. Historical Phase I
Environmental Site Assessments, the latest being completed in November 2008, have been performed
for each of the three (3) properties, and are summarized, as follows:

802 — 812 S. Lafayette Blvd. (Hamilton Tow Yard) — consists of four (4) parcels of land (018- 3042 -1607
through 018 - 3042 -1610) totaling approximately 0.58 acres. The northernmost lot is developed with one
(1) structure that was reported to have been used as garage space for storage of Hamilton Towing fleet
vehicles. Office space is present on the south side of the structure. The remainder of the property is
currently being used for the storage of automobiles, trailers and machinery associated with the Hamilton
Towing operations. The entire property is enclosed with an aluminum fence, with access via a locking
swing gate along S. Lafayette Blvd. Historically, an auto repair station occupied the subject site from
1949 through at least 1980 (Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps), with two (2) gasoline USTs having been
located on the south side of the former auto service building. In addition, the current owner has indicated
that a heating oil UST system was excavated from the ground on the east side of the existing building. In
addition, a hydraulic lift, no longer in use, was identified as having been left in the ground, within the
existing building. The subject property was not identified by the regulatory database search; however
there was significant potential for on -site migration of contaminants from surrounding sources.
910 -912 S. Lafayette Blvd. (Hamilton Towing) — consists of three (3) parcels (018- 8001 -0001, 18 -8001-
0002 and 018 - 8001 - 00201) totaling approximately 0.33- acres. The subject site is developed with one (1)
structure which is occupied by Hamilton Towing, and being used as office space and a fleet storage and
maintenance facility. Mr. Hamilton indicated that the building was originally constructed in the 1920s, and
contained a trench drain that extends the entire length of the building, for which Mr. Hamilton was
unfamiliar with the point of discharge. Bulk storage of petroleum products and hazardous materials (i.e.,
diesel fuel, lubricants, solvents, etc.) was identified in the maintenance area of the building, in addition to
two (2) oil ASTs, drums and smaller sized (commercially available) containers throughout the building.
Historical Sanborn Maps indicate use of the building as an auto repair facility from 1917 through at least
1980. The subject property was not identified by the regulatory database search; however there was
significant potential for on -site migration of contaminants from surrounding sources.
901 -917 S. Lafayette Blvd. — consists of five (5) parcels (018- 8002 -0094, and 018 - 8002 -0096 through
018 - 8002 -0099) totaling approximately 0.93 -acres of land. The subject site is developed with three (3)
structures. A large building is located near the center of the property which is used as an office and
maintenance garage. A second building that appears to be used as a paint shop and storage space, and
a third building used for storage, are located near the southwest corner of the property. According to
Sanborn Maps, the historical use of the property includes residential, a gasoline service station, and an
auto junk yard. Such historical operations were deemed as having the potential for significant use and /or
storage of hazardous materials and petroleum substances. Trench drains are present within the facility
for which the owner is not aware of the point of discharge. The former gas station, located at the
southwest corner of the intersection of W. Sample St. and S. Lafayette Blvd., was the location for removal
of four to five UST systems in the 1990s's following purchase by Mr. Hamilton. An additional vent pipe
was identified in the northern portion of the subject property. In addition, underground hoists associated
with the gas station operations were also removed from the ground. Three (3) ASTs, all of which were
labeled as "gas ", were identified at the northern portion of the building, with two (2) of the ASTs within
secondary containment. Numerous unlabeled drums and petroleum containers were also present on the
north side of the building. Junk cars being staged at the rear of the buildings (aluminum fencing present)
were not drained of fluids prior to storage. The subject property was identified by the regulatory database
search as a RCRA Generator as well as cross - indexing lists such as FINDS and the Indiana Manifest List.
There also exists significant potential for on -site migration of contaminants from surrounding sources.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following tasks detail the proposed Scope of Services by Wightman Petrie, consisting largely of the
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Updates (last Phase I performed in 2008), and the Phase II
Environmental Site Assessment, as proposed by the 2008 Phase I Reports. Please note that during the
Phase I Updates modifications to the proposed Phase II Scope of Service may be warranted, noting that the
current owner may have undertaken some level of clean -up action.

TASK 1 — Phase Environmental Site Assessment Updates
It is the intent of Wightman Petrie to perform the Phase I Update in general accordance with the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) document ASTM E 1527 -05, which is considered consistent with
the provisions of EPA's All Appropriate Inquiry.
The proposed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Update will consist of the following components:
• Records Review
• Site Reconnaissance
• Interviews
• Reporting
RECORDS REVIEW
The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify environmental
concerns in connection with the subject site. As part of this phase of the project, we will attempt to obtain
and review those records that are "reasonably ascertainable." For the purposes of this proposal,
"reasonably ascertainable" information is defined as: (1) publicly available, (2) obtainable from its source
within reasonable time and cost constraints, and (3) practically reviewable. The assessment will include a
review, where available or applicable, of both Environmental and Historical sources.

ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS
Additional state or local database listings will be reviewed as deemed appropriate. A comprehensive
review of Indiana and /or federal regulatory files is beyond the scope of this Phase I Update effort,
although as deemed necessary, Wightman Petrie may initiate a Freedom of Information Act Request
Hamilton Body Shop /Hamilton Towing
March 27, 2012
Page 4 of 10
through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Central File Room, or access
pertinent information made available through the Virtual File Cabinet.
PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCES
A United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 Minute Topographic Map will be reviewed to evaluate area
topographic and surface drainage. At least one (1) additional physical setting source will be reviewed for
information on the geologic, hydrogeologic, hydrologic, or topographic characteristics of the site.
HISTORICAL USE INFORMATION
The purpose of consulting historical sources is to develop a history of the previous uses or occupancies of
the site, and surrounding area, in order to identify those uses, or occupancies that are likely to have led to
recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject site.
USES OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
Prior uses of the subject site will be identified from the present, back until at least the period of initial
development using the available "standard historical resources" listed below:
Aerial Photographs
Fire Insurance Maps
Property Tax Files
Recorded Land Title Records
USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Maps
Local Street Directories
Our proposal does not include a Chain -of -Title search. If others have recently completed a Chain -of-
Title, Wightman Petrie will review the document for potential environmental concerns associated with
prior ownership.
USES OF PROPERTY IN SURROUNDING AREAS
Using available resources, the history and /or general uses of properties in the surrounding area will be
researched at a search distance and time period deemed appropriate given the findings of other
portions of the assessment. Complete coverage using local street directories, Sanborn Fire Insurance
Maps and potentially other historical records regarding the prior uses of the subject site and surrounding
properties may be limited, may not be readily available, or may not even exist for purposes of review.
SITE RECONNAISSANCE
The purpose of the site reconnaissance is to observe current conditions at the site and obtain information
indicating the likelihood of environmental concerns with the site.
A reconnaissance will be performed for indications of waste handling or disposal activities that may pose a
hazard to the subsurface environment. We will require access to all areas, to the extent they are not
obstructed by bodies of water, adjacent buildings, or other obstacles. We have assumed that access to all
parcels and existing structures can be coordinated within a single mobilization. Unforeseen circumstances
notwithstanding, only one (1) site visit will be made.
INTERVIEWS
Interviews will be conducted with knowledgeable persons to obtain direct, personal information regarding
activities and /or operations which may have affected the environmental condition of the site. Selected local
Hamilton Body Shop /Hamilton Towing
March 27, 2012
Page 5 of 10
regulatory and /or emergency response officials may also be interviewed regarding knowledge of past or
present environmental problems or emergency responses at the site.
IDENTIFICATION OF DATA GAPS
Depending on the availability of certain resources for evaluating historical property use, previous property
owners (for interview) and other pertinent information; certain "Data Gaps" may be identified within our
Report. Wightman Petrie will make determinations as to the potential impacts such Data Gaps have on
conclusions as to the presence or potential presence of recognized environmental conditions.
PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT UPDATE REPORTING
Upon completion of our site reconnaissance, regulatory database and historical records review, a verbal
summary will be presented. Our written report of findings will include documentation to support the analysis,
opinions and conclusions found in the report, inclusive of referenced sources. Based upon the observations
made during the Phase I reconnaissance, modifications to the Phase II Proposed Scope of Services may be
warranted.
TASK 2 — Ground Penetrating Radar
Prior to the initiation of any Phase II Environmental Site Assessment activities, Wightman Petrie proposes
to conduct a Ground Penetrating Radar Survey of the 802 -812 S. Lafayette Blvd. property, as well as the
901 -917 S. Lafayette Blvd. property for the purpose of determining whether UST systems remain in the
ground. As indicated from the prior Phase I Site Assessment Reports, the removal status of certain
historical UST systems could not be verified, and at least one (1) additional UST system is thought to
remain in the ground (as indicated by the presence of a vent pipe on the side of the building at 901 -917 S.
Lafayette Blvd.).
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) offers the means to detect buried objects that are not otherwise
detectable. In addition to the ability to locate metal objects (i.e., underground storage tanks, drums), GPR
is able to detect non - metallic objects. The system sends radar pulses into the surface, receives, and
processes the reflected energy. Through advanced processing technology, the system calibrates the di-
electric constant of the surrounding material. When the signal is reflected from the material having a
different di- electric constant, the signal is displayed on the screen as an anomaly. Depth can also be
determined by processing the sampling interval and determining the size and comparing relative data to
other objects detected.
Characteristics of underlying soils effect the penetration of the radar through the ground. Sands and
gravel offer the greatest depth penetration and clearest resolution. Whereas, dense saturated clays offer
limited penetration of the radar signal. For purposes of this proposal, Wightman Petrie has assumed a
depth limitation for the GPR of approximately 8 feet below land surface.
Areas of the suspect former UST system location(s) will be scanned by GPR and delineated using varying
interval grid patterns. Multiple scans in a north -south and east -west direction will be performed utilizing
the GPR, looking for anomalies. Any identified anomalies (i.e., disturbed subsurface soils) will be marked
on the surface using paint, as appropriate for utility locators and for soil boring locations by Wightman
Petrie.
TASK 3 - Soil Sampling via Geoprobe Methodology
Using Geoprobe methodologies (small track mounted hydraulically driven sampling probe) soil samples
will be collected from a total of nineteen (19) locations. Boring locations will be determined based upon
the results of historical document review and field data gathered from the prior Phase I Site Assessments,
Phase I Updates and completion of the Ground Penetrating Radar Surveys. In general, Wightman Petrie
would propose to install at least four (4) soil borings across the 802 -812 S. Lafayette Blvd. property, with
specific emphasis on the area of former USTs and stained soils associated with releases from wrecked
Hamilton Body Shop /Hamilton Towing

autos. Two (2) hand auger borings are also proposed in the general area of the former underground hoist
system. Five (5) soil borings are proposed across the 910 -912 S. Lafayette Blvd. property, with emphasis
on the areas of hazardous and petroleum storage, trench drains, ASTs, and historical car repair. For the
901 -917 S. Lafayette Blvd. property, ten (10) soil borings are proposed with emphasis on the former
USTs, ASTs, paint shop, drum storage, and stained soils associated with releases from wrecked autos.
For each of the Geoprobe boring locations, discrete soil samples will be collected at 5 -foot intervals
throughout the soil profile until saturated soil conditions are encountered (assumed to be approximately
25 feet below land surface). Each soil sample interval will be screened for the presence of volatile
organics by placing a portion of the soil sample into a plastic bag, allowing time for equilibration, and
insertion of a photoionization detector (PID) probe to observe a reading of "total VOCs" in parts per million
(ppm). All data associated with the field screening of VOCs will be recorded for future reference (Soil
Boring Logs).
In addition, a portion of each discrete sampling interval will also be collected for submittal to a laboratory.
Wightman Petrie proposes to submit one (1) soil sample from each of the nineteen (19) boring locations
based on the PID field screening results and /or other indications of the presence of potential
contamination (visual or olfactory). In the event that field screening with a PID, visual or olfactory
observations do not indicate the presence of contamination; the soil sample collected from the upper two
(2) feet within the boring, will be submitted for laboratory analysis. We note that the area of the subject
site is serviced by municipal water and sanitary sewer; therefore direct contact through the use of
groundwater as a potential pathway for exposure has been eliminated, and therefore direct contact via
contaminated surface soils becomes an over - riding concern. Each of the soil samples selected for
laboratory analysis will be analyzed for the presence of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) via EPA
Method 8260. Most soil samples identified for laboratory analyses will also be analyzed for the presence
of carcinogenic Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (cPAHs) via EPA Method 8270 (Selective Ion
Methodology); however, some will be analyzed for the presence of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons,
Extended Range Organics (TPH -ERO) as an indicator of the presence of significant petroleum
contamination. Wightman Petrie will utilize IDEM guidance Terra -Core Methods to collect soil samples
from each discrete sampling interval for the analysis of VOC constituents. All soil samples will be labeled,
packed on ice and forwarded to the laboratory under chain -of- custody procedures.
TASK 4 - Temporary Geoprobe Well Installation for Groundwater Sampling
Wightman Petrie proposes to convert a minimum of seven (7) Geoprobe soil borings to temporary wells
with insertion of a Geoprobe groundwater sampling device, which allows for the extension of a stainless
steel slotted screen for collection of a groundwater sample from the point at which the saturated or water -
bearing zone is encountered. For this proposal, Wightman Petrie has assumed that the water - bearing
zone will be encountered within 25 -feet of land surface.
Once installed, each temporary well would be purged until such time as the water discharge becomes
relatively free of solids or until at least three (3) gallons of water have been removed. Wightman Petrie
proposes that groundwater from each of the temporary wells be analyzed for Volatile Organic
Compounds via EPA Method 8260, and carcinogenic PAHs via EPA Method 8270 SIM. For those
temporary wells at which multiple groundwater samples will be collected (total of four); Wightman Petrie
proposes that the groundwater sample from the deeper of the screened intervals be analyzed for the
presence of VOCs only. Each groundwater sample will be appropriately labeled, packed on ice, and
forwarded to the laboratory (priority overnight delivery) under chain -of- custody procedures. Analysis will
also include the analysis of a water sample for QA/QC purposes (Volatile Organic Compound only).
Wightman Petrie will plug the boreholes /wells with bentonite once soil and groundwater sampling
activities have been completed.

Upon receipt of the laboratory analyses, data will be reviewed and tabularized. Comparison of the data
for each respective chemical constituent will be made to the Risk Integrated System of Closure (RISC)
Default Closure Values for Residential and Industrial /Commercial Properties. Upon completion of the
initial data review, a "Letter Report" will be prepared which presents the sample collection and analytical
methodologies used during the field phase of the assessment. Copies of the sample location maps,
tabulated data and comparison to RISC Default Closure Values will also be incorporated.
Recommendations for any additional assessment activities will be made for review and comment.
TASK 5 — Dye Trace for existing Trench Drains
Depending on whether or not the identified trench drains within the buildings present at the 910 -912 S.
Lafayette Blvd. and 901 -917 S. Lafayette Blvd. properties are free flowing; Wightman Petrie may be able
to determine the location of discharge through the introduction of a biodegradable dye. We note that if
the drains are not free flowing, and tend to back -up, then introduction of the biodegradable dye serves no
purpose. At that point, it becomes more logical to wait until demolition of the building, as opposed to
incurring the expense of drain cleaning. Should the drain system be confirmed as free flowing, the
direction of flow of the existing municipal sanitary sewer must be determined, and an immediately
downgradient manhole opened for observation. Once free flow, and a point of observation are
established, the dye is introduced to the trench drain, and its presence (after delay) is documented as
present, or absent, within the downgradient manhole flow. If absent, then other potential points of
discharge other than the municipal sanitary sewer system exist, and should be investigated for the
presence of potential contamination.
SCHEDULE
Wightman Petrie proposes to commence site investigation activities within one (1) week of receipt of
notification to proceed, depending on weather, utility clearance and Geoprobe availability. Our Ground
Penetrating Radar Survey work will be completed prior to the initiation of soil boring installation activity,
and can commence immediately following the receipt of Authorization to Proceed. Once a specific date
for the field component of the Phase II has been established, Wightman Petrie will notify the client. Upon
mobilization, we anticipate completion of the Geoprobe sampling requiring two (2) days, although a third
day may be necessary depending on the actual depth to groundwater. Laboratory analyses will be
completed by Pace Analytical on standard one -week turnaround from receipt by the laboratory. Our initial
discussion of results will occur within three (3) days of receipt of all laboratory analytical results. Our
written "Summary Letter Report" will be submitted within two (2) weeks of the initial conference.
COST ESTIMATE
An ESTIMATED COST for Scope of Services, as presented herein, is summarized below. Please note

Please note that this ESTIMATED COST should be considered a Project Maximum, which Wightman
Petrie will not exceed without prior approval. However, should the scope of services require
modification (i.e., additional borings) based upon field conditions and /or circumstances that would not
have otherwise been anticipated, Wightman Petrie will notify the client of such "changed conditions" and
resultant cost implications to the project.
LIMITATIONS /QUALIFICATIONS
The sampling and testing of soil, groundwater and /or other materials not specifically identified in this
proposal is beyond the scope of services for this project. Cost estimates for our proposed services have
been prepared based on the following assumptions:
• Wightman Petrie will have unlimited access to the site during daylight hours;
• No subsurface obstructions (buried utilities or fill debris) will interfere with our work;
• Sufficient access /clearance will be provided for interior and exterior Geoprobe locations;
• Groundwater will be encountered within 25 -feet of ground surface;
Hamilton Body Shop /Hamilton Towing
March 27, 2012
Page 9 of 10
• Inclement weather will not interfere with the completion of our field work;
• Soil cuttings and purge waters will be returned to the boring from which they were generated, with
the remainder of the boring filled with bentonite pellets to land surface.
This Phase II Environmental Site Assessment should be considered as a "tool' in the evaluation of the
subject site relative to the potential presence of contaminants, and does not necessarily fulfill Indiana
Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) guidelines for delineation of contaminants identified
within soil or groundwater as required under UST Closure Guidelines.
