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. Heartland understands that the proposed scope of
services will be conducted to prepare the site for future redevelopment and will include initial
site assessment, UST removal and potential future environmental remediation activities.
Heartland's technical approach to the scope of service items is discussed below.
2.1 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and Geophysical Survey
Heartland will conduct a Phase I ESA in accordance with the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) rule
per the most recent American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard, «4'tc ndarcl
PI -attic, car Envircarynental Situ Assessments: Phase I ESA Process (ASTM E-1527-13).

e,r aa. i ratataa r Sta
Heartland's Phase I ESA approach is to assess the potential presence or absence of contaminants
in the form of hazardous substances. This is accomplished through site interviews, available
historical data, regulatory agency interviews and file searches, and a physical inspection of the
property. Hazardous substances refer to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) substances, Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) substances, and petroleum products. At a minimum, this Phase I ESA will consist
of the following:
1. Compilation of the development history of the area, with an emphasis on chemical substances
which may have been used or disposed of onsite and could have contributed to possible
contamination.
2. A review of regulatory agency databases in order to determine potential environmental
concerns relative to the site and adjacent sites within the specified search radii.
3. A physical inspection of the area to determine current site conditions and detect the potential
for a release of hazardous substances.
4. Final report for the site that will include conclusions and recommendations, based upon the
information obtained from the above referenced tasks.
Data obtained during the Phase I ESA will be further utilized to assist in the development of the
Phase II ESA scope of work.
In concert with the Phase I ESA, Heartland will utilize a ground penetrating radar (GPR) at the
site to survey and locate the known USTs and any additional suspected USTs or former UST
excavation pits as well as potential hydraulic lifts. Ground penetrating radar is a geophysical
technique that uses electromagnetic waves for willow subsurface reconnaissance and
exploration. An electromagnetic impulse in the form of ultra -high frequency radio waves are
emitted into the ground by a transmitting antenna, and the resulting reflection of transfer of
waves from contamination plumes, boundary layers or buried objects is detected by a receiving
antenna. The presence of buried objects or significant changes in conductivity of the layers will
cause the electromagnetic wave to be reflected. Together these images provide direct information
concerning subsurface conditions. These images will then be transposed onto a final map,
documenting the locations of any anomalies, including USTs, in a GPR survey report, to be
issued concurrently with the Phase I ESA report.
2.2 Underground Storage Tank Removal and Remediation
Based on a review of the RFP, Heartland is providing the IBP with costs to remove two (2)
2,000-gallon and three (3) 3,000-gallon USTs from the site, along with the associated UST
system implements and associated UST piping. Furthermore, costs are being provided to remove
up to 1,500-gallons of petroleum liquid/sludge material, to over -excavate up to 1,500 tons of
petroleum impacted soil from the UST excavation pit and to inject or otherwise introduce up to
1,000 pounds of Oxygen Releasing Compound (ORC) at the site.
Before initiating sampling activities, Heartland will prepare a site work plan and a site -specific

health and safety plan (HASP) under the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA)
29 CFR 1910.120 for review and approval of IBP staff and any applicable state and/or federal
agency. All site activities will be done in accordance to the work plan and HASP designed for
the project. All site activities will be done in accordance with ASTM, IDEM and USEPA
applicable guidelines.
Prior to removal activities, Heartland will contact the appropriate utility companies to locate and
mark site underground utility conduits/lines. Off -site utilities will also be located if determined
necessary. For purposes of this removal it is not anticipated that the services of a private utility
locater will be necessary. The GPR survey scheduled to be completed as part of the site activities
will also be utilized to assist in marking private utilities at the site.
As part of environmental services provided, Heartland will conduct oversight for the removal of
the UST system at the site, including the USTs and associated piping. Additionally, any residual
liquids and sludge from the tanks and product lines will be cleaned and containerized for
disposal prior to the removal of the USTs. It is anticipated that liquid/sludge material to be
removed will not exceed 1,500-gallons. It should be noted that, according to images reviewed
and a site reconnaissance by Heartland, the fuel dispensers are no longer present at the site. The
areas around the historic former gasoline dispenser island areas will be explored as part of the
provided UST system removal services to confirm that all former dispenser island structures
have been removed.
Heartland will collect confirmation samples as required by IDEM UST guidance, which require
one confirmation soil sample per 20 feet of sidewall, one confirmation soil sample on the bottom
of the tank pit under both ends an individual UST (for USTs less than 10,000-gallons in size),
one confirmation sample per every 20 linear feet of product line, one confirmation sample
underneath each fuel dispenser island, and one groundwater sample per tank pit. Field oversight
activities will include coordination with the selected UST removal subcontractor and the
laboratory, as well as health and safety oversight.
Field oversight will also include screening of both bottom and sidewall samples. Based on field
observations, Heartland will evaluate the presence of impacts to soil. Heartland will work closely
with the IBP to document impacts present and will advise the IBP during the course of the UST
removal should it be necessary to over -excavate encountered impacted soils within and
surrounding the tank pit. Petroleum impacted soils determined to exhibit the highest petroleum
impacts will be over -excavated, if determined necessary. Over -excavation of impacted soils will
not exceed 1,500 tons, unless determined necessary based on field observations and further
authorized by the IBP. Over -excavated soils will be removed and disposed of as impacted waste
at an authorized landfill. After completion of UST removal and any necessary soil over -
excavation, the UST/soil excavation pit will be backfilled with granular, compactible material
and finished to grade with at least four inches of stone.
Soil confirmation samples will be collected, and samples will be submitted to the laboratory
under proper chain -of -custody protocol. Soil samples collected will be submitted for laboratory
analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using USEPA SW-846 Method 8270SIM and lead using USEPA
SW-846 Method 6010B.
Should groundwater be encountered in the UST/soil excavation pit(s), one groundwater sample
will be collected from each UST pit and submitted for laboratory analysis of VOCs using
USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, PAHs using USEPA SW-846 Method 8270SIM, lead using
USEPA SW-846 Method 6010B and lead scavengers using USEPA SW-846 Method 8011.
Should groundwater not be encountered during the UST removal activities, groundwater samples
will be collected for confirmation as part of the larger Phase II ESA activities to be completed at
the site if warranted. Laboratory quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples will be
collected for this confirmatory sampling event.
All soil and groundwater samples collected will be placed on ice and delivered to Pace
Analytical Services, Inc. (Pace) in Indianapolis, Indiana for laboratory analysis. Samples will be
delivered to the laboratory under Heartland chain -of -custody protocol.
Prior to the backfilling of the excavation pit(s), oxygen releasing agents will be introduced into
the base of the excavation pit(s). The exact volume of oxygen releasing agent to be applied will
depend on the size of the excavation area. It is anticipated that no more than 1,000 pounds of this
material will be introduced. If placement of these materials into the UST pit(s) is not feasible,
these materials will be introduced into the area of excavation via direct push injections. Oxygen
releasing agent introduction will only be utilized if determined necessary after the completion of
site remedial action and after consultation and approval from the IBP Project Manager.
Please note, for purposes of this proposal, Heartland is proposing to the IBP to utilize EOS
Remediation, LLC's EOxTM, a product similar in nature, with similar chemical and physical
properties, to that of the typical ORC Advanced® compound utilized on similar IDEM and IBP
projects sold by Regenesis, Inc. A product specification sheet for EOxTM can be provided upon
request. Heartland is including prices for both EOxT" and ORC Advanced® with this proposal for
the IBP's evaluation.
After the completion of the UST removal, a UST Closure Report will be prepared. The UST
Closure Report will document site activities, confirmation sampling activities, disposal locations,
and adherence of the UST closure activities to IDEM Remediation Closure Guide (RCG)
guidance. Figures of the site with the locations of confirmation samples and tabulated analytical
results will be provided as part of this report. Both the field oversight of the UST removal and
the final report will be completed by a State of Indiana licensed UST inspector.
2.3 Subsurface Investigation
Heartland's approach during subsurface investigations is designed to identify the vertical and
horizontal extent of soil and/or groundwater contamination, the contaminant transport
mechanisms, probable sources, and potential receptors of the contamination. Before initiating
sampling activities, Heartland will prepare a site sampling and analysis plan (SAP) and update
the site -specific HASP for review and approval of IBP staff and any applicable state and/or
<cgs onw taw Reti4yesifin Vn,1 i ,%:, S tk dm Jreararaienf MA a �ss€._sstr��^nt, � nderLrebnd Stt[�t e " ank lic ata,q_w br�rll k�eeBr�'s�id�:ti�arro

federal agency. All site activities will be done in accordance to the SAP and HASP designed for
the project.
Prior to investigation activities, Heartland will contact the appropriate utility companies to locate
and mark site underground utility conduits/lines. Off -site utilities will also be located if
determined necessary. For purposes of this investigation it is not anticipated that the services of a
private utility locater will be necessary.
Heartland will provide oversight for the advancement of up to eight (8) soil borings on the
property. Specific soil boring locations will be determined after consultation with IBP staff and
will be outlined in Heartland's SAP submitted prior to initiation of site activities.
Soil borings will be advanced using a direct push technology rig. During soil boring installation,
soils will be continuously sampled in 2-foot intervals to the base of each boring. Each soil
interval will be screened for total photo -ionizable vapors (TPVs) using a pre -calibrated PID
equipped with a 10.2 eV lamp. Additionally, each soil interval will be inspected for indications
of potential impacts, such as staining, hydrocarbon or solvent odors, and elevated soil gas
readings. Observations and soil screening results will be recorded on Heartland boring logs. Prior
to sampling, each of the soil borings will be surveyed and located with global positioning system
(GPS) coordinates.
During soil boring advancement, strict decontamination procedures will be followed to reduce
the potential for cross -contamination. All drilling and down -hole sampling equipment will be
decontaminated prior to first use onsite, and thereafter between uses. Decontamination will occur
utilizing a high-pressure spray washer coupled with wash in an Alconox solution, followed by
distilled water rinse.
Two soil samples will be collected from each soil boring, at the first encountered subsurface soil
interval and at the interval exhibiting the highest field screening results or at the interval
immediately above the first -encountered groundwater saturated zone. Soil samples will be
submitted for laboratory analysis of VOCs using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, PAHs using
USEPA SW-846 Method 8270SIM and lead using USEPA SW-846 Method 6010B. Laboratory
QA/QC samples will be collected for this sampling event.
In addition to soil samples, groundwater samples will be collected from temporary 1-inch
diameter piezometers installed in each soil boring advanced. Groundwater samples will be
submitted for analysis of VOCs using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, PAHs using USEPA SW-
846 Method 8270SIM, lead using USEPA SW-846 Method 6010B and lead scavengers using
USEPA SW-846 Method 8011. After collection of the groundwater samples, each of the
piezometers will be abandoned and finished to grade.
Please note, that for budgetary purposes sampling of soil and groundwater for PAHs and lead has
been included in this proposal. However, sampling of PAHs in soil and groundwater as part of
the subsurface investigation may be eliminated if, after review of soil confirmation samples

collected as part of the UST removal activities, it is determined that PAH and/or lead impacts are
not likely to be present.
All soil and groundwater samples collected will be placed on ice and delivered to Pace in
Indianapolis, Indiana for laboratory analysis. Samples will be delivered to the laboratory under
Heartland chain -of -custody protocol.
Once the laboratory data has been received, Heartland will prepare a Phase II ESA report for the
site. The report will include field observations from the site sampling activities, a site plan
illustrating soil boring/sample locations, laboratory analytical results, comparison of the project
data to the IDEM RCG Default Screening Levels, conclusions and recommendations. The report
will evaluate existing site conditions and determine whether additional site activities will be
necessary to further characterize or remediate any encountered site impacts.
2.4 Ground Water Monitoring
Based on a review of the RFP, Heartland is providing the IBP with costs to provide long-term
ground water monitoring after the completion of initial subsurface investigative and remedial
activities. Please note long-term groundwater monitoring costs are being provided for budgetary
evaluation and will only be incorporated if determined necessary after the completion of
subsurface investigative activities, remedial alternative evaluation and after consultation with
IBP staff.
Heartland will provide oversight for the advancement of up to five (5) additional soil borings on
the property. Specific soil boring locations will be determined after consultation with IBP staff
and will be outlined in Heartland's SAP submitted for the site prior to initiation of these site
activities. Please note soil borings will not be advanced if determined, after consultation with
IDEM and IBP staff, that monitoring wells should be installed in locations within 5 feet of
historic soil borings.
Soil borings will be advanced using a direct push technology rig. During soil boring installation,
soils will be continuously sampled in 2-foot intervals to the base of each boring. Each soil
interval will be screened for TPVs using a pre -calibrated PID equipped with a 10.2 eV lamp.
Additionally, each soil interval will be inspected for indications of potential impacts, such as
staining, hydrocarbon or solvent odors, and elevated soil gas readings. Observations and soil
screening results will be recorded on Heartland boring logs. Prior to sampling, each of the soil
borings will be surveyed and located with GPS coordinates.
The five (5) soil borings will be completed with permanent 2-inch diameter groundwater monitoring
wells. The monitoring wells will be constructed of 2-inch Schedule 40 flush -threaded PVC with
10-foot of 0.010-in. factory slotted screen to account for seasonal fluctuations. The annular space
around the well screen will be surrounded with silica or washed quartz sand. The remaining
annular space will be filled with 2-feet of bentonite-cement grout to the ground surface. A
locking manhole cover will be installed over each well to prevent damage and to inhibit
tampering. Groundwater monitoring wells will be developed using IDEM approved well

development methodology in accordance to Indiana Administrative Code 312 IAC 13-8-3(m)
and allowed to stabilize for a minimum of 48 hours prior to sampling.
During soil boring advancement and monitoring well installation activities, strict
decontamination procedures will be followed to reduce the potential for cross -contamination. All
drilling and down -hole sampling equipment will be decontaminated prior to first use onsite, and
thereafter between uses. Decontamination will occur utilizing a high-pressure spray washer
coupled with wash in an Alconox solution, followed by distilled water rinse.
After completion of the installation of the groundwater monitoring wells, Heartland will sample the
groundwater monitoring well network. Groundwater monitoring wells will be sampled utilizing
IDEM approved low -flow sampling methodology. Low -flow sampling methodology will include a
flow through sampling cell for measuring groundwater quality parameters (temperature, pH,
conductivity, dissolved oxygen, oxygen reduction potential and turbidity).
Depth to groundwater data will be collected from each monitoring well to properly evaluate
groundwater flow direction at the site. Groundwater monitoring wells will be additionally
gauged utilizing a Solinst Oil/Water Interface Probe to evaluate for the presence of any light
non -aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs).
Groundwater samples from the groundwater monitoring wells will be submitted to Pace for
laboratory analysis of VOCs using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, PAHs using USEPA SW-846
Method 8270, lead using USEPA SW-846 Method 6010B and lead scavengers (if determined
necessary) using USEPA SW-846 Method 8011. All groundwater samples collected will be
placed on ice and delivered to Pace for laboratory analysis under Heartland chain -of -custody
protocol. Laboratory QA/QC samples will be collected for these sampling events.
The soil cuttings and purge water generated from the monitoring well installation and sampling
activities will be contained in 55-gallon drums and disposed of appropriately within one (1)
month of generation.
Once the laboratory data has been received, Heartland will prepare a Groundwater Sampling
Report for the site. The report will include field observations from the site sampling activities, a
site plan illustrating groundwater monitoring well locations, groundwater flow direction maps,
laboratory analytical results, comparison of the project data to the IDEM RCG default closure
objectives, conclusions and recommendations.
For budgetary purposes, Heartland is providing the IBP with a budget to conduct quarterly
monitoring of the proposed groundwater monitoring well network for a period of two years
(eight quarters). Heartland is further providing budgetary numbers for groundwater monitoring
well abandonment activities, to be completed after the completion of the groundwater monitoring
activities and the issuance of an NFA for the site.

5.0 Green Remediation Strategies
Heartland understands that the IBP desires to have site activities conducted with care taken to
implement green remediation strategies that will serve to maximize sustainability, reduce energy
and water usage, promote carbon neutrality, promote material reuse and recycling and protect
and preserve land resources. Heartland is committed to conduct site activities in as "green" a
manner as possible and works to conduct site activities in accordance with the USEPA's
Principles for Greener Cleanups and the ASTM E2893-13 Standard Guide for Greener
Cleanups.
Specifically, the following steps will be implemented by Heartland and its subcontractors during
site activities as part of the "green" remediation strategy:
0 Idling of vehicles will not be permitted at any time;

Services. Former Steve"s Marathon Service Sialion 9 adhlw in South 13,ent➢ Imfiana LIg 1120➢907-➢51 ��-Page 14
o Vehicles will include personal use cars and trucks and heavy equipment, including
excavators, loaders and bobcats.
• Recycling containers will be placed onsite to recycle any and all appropriate waste
generated during site activities. Furthermore, any personal food items brought onsite must
be brought in reusable containers and/or recyclable containers to minimize onsite waste
generation;
• Local trucking companies will be utilized to minimize mobilization travel and decrease fuel
consumption and carbon emissions;
o Trucks entering the site and awaiting loads will be asked to shut vehicles off and not
idle while truck loading is ongoing.
• Should soil over -excavation be determined necessary, soils that are determined to be clean
will be segregated and stockpiled for reuse as backfill;
• Soils removed offsite for disposal will be trucked to local landfill sites within the nearest
proximity to the site. For purposes of this project, Heartland anticipates trucking soils to
Prairie View Landfill in Wyatt, Indiana, located approximately 20-miles from the site;
• Local sources (within 15 miles from the site) will be utilized to import clean backfill
material, if determined necessary;
• When appropriate, Heartland will utilize its staff hybrid gasoline/electric vehicles (Toyota
Prius or similar vehicle) to conduct field activities at times when large transport of field
equipment is not necessary. Please note Heartland will man this project from its South Bend,
Indiana office, located approximately 5 miles from the project site.
In addition to these green strategies, Heartland will require its subcontractors, including drilling and
laboratory subcontractors, to follow green principles. Heartland's drilling subcontractor will be
implementing the following activities:
• Idling of vehicles will not be permitted;
• Zero waste generation goals will be in place, with care taken to recycle any generated
waste during site activities;
• Water usage will be kept to a minimum, with care taken to replace decontamination water
when appropriate and to minimize spillage while decontamination of equipment is
occurring. All used decontamination water will be containerized for disposal in reusable
55-gallon steel drums.
Heartland will be working with Pace as its laboratory subcontractor for this project. Pace has
implemented the following green initiatives as part of its overall corporate strategy:
• Pace is a paperless laboratory, providing digital copies of final laboratory reports and
using online tools to provide customers with access to laboratory documents. By being
paperless, Pace uses less paper, printer toner and energy due to the lack of printers and
copiers being run;
• Pace has implemented technological advances to allow for minimizing sample volume
necessary to run specific analytic methods. Reduction of sample volume allows for less

waste disposal and lesser sample vial usage. Furthermore, Pace provides reusable coolers
to its clients for sample holding and delivery;
• Pace utilizes a gasoline/electric hybrid vehicle for local courier services and encourages
carpooling amongst its staff; and
« Pace has implemented a solvent recycling program, recycling commonly utilized
laboratory solvents such as methylene chloride for industrial repurposing as opposed to
disposal, saving in disposal of hazardous wastes.
Heartland is committed to conducting site activities in as green a manner as possible to promote
energy savings, promote reuse and recycling, minimize carbon footprint emissions and to
minimize waste generation and disposal. Heartland field staff will constantly monitor site
activities to make sure these strategies are being implemented and will document in its final
reports to the IBP specific green strategies which were implemented during site activities.
6.0 Documentation
6.1 Reporting
All work completed by Heartland will be done in accordance with all federal, state and local
safety and health regulations. All paper copies of reports, schedules or other documentation will
be provided on recycled paper. Two (2) copies of all final reports will be provided to the IBP along
with two (2) digital copies on compact disc. In addition, necessary print copies and/or digital copies
will be generated and submitted to IDEM and the site owner, as appropriate.
6.2 Invoicing
Project work will be invoiced on a phased invoicing cycle. Heartland will provide the IBP with
one invoice upon completion of each site activity, including completion of initial subsurface
investigative activities, completion of remedial activities, completion of monitoring well
installation activities and completion of quarterly monitoring events. Heartland will work closely
with the 1BP to ensure a streamlined invoicing system is adhered to.

SEP Guidelines
SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT ;'T GUIDELINES
Introduction
Supplemental Environmental Projects ("SEPs") are a tool utilized by the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management's ("IDEM") Office of Enforcement in negotiating settlements of
enforcement cases. A SEP is an environmentally -beneficial project that improves, protects, or reduces
risks to public health or the environment, which a regulated entity agrees to undertake in further
settlement of an enforcement action, but which the regulated entity is not otherwise legally required to
perform. In certain cases, and consistent with IDEM's SEP policy (see, Supplemental Environmental
Project Policy, Enforcement-08-003-NPD (June 20, 2008)), IDEM agrees to allow a respondent to make a
cash payment of an agreed -upon dollar amount ("SEP Funds") directly to the Indiana Finance Authority
("Authority") in lieu of an assessed civil penalty for use on a brownfield prgject in the city, towii or
courit�y in which the violation underlying the enforcement action occurred'. Once notified by 11. EM's
Office of Enforcement that a respondent has been approved to undertake a brownfield SEP, the Indiana
Brownfields Program ("Program") coordinates with the beneficiary community ("SEP Recipient') to
select a brownfield property at which to utilize the SEP Funds consistent with these guidelines; priority
will be given by the Program to sites that are not privately -owned.
As part of IDEM's underlying enforcement order, the Program establishes a site or community -specific
account within the Environmental Remediation Revolving Loan Fund managed by the Authority, into
which the respondent's payment of SEP Funds is deposited. The Authority then executes a financial
assistance agreement ("Agreement") with the SEP Recipient (or another eligible Indiana political
subdivision (as defined by Indiana Code ("IC") 13-11-2-164(c)) on behalf the SEP Recipient) and the
consultant(s) it retains to undertake site work, through which the eligible SEP project activities are
reimbursed by the Authority from the site or community -specific account following Program approval of
project activities and expenditures. Examples of political subdivisions that qualify for financial assistance
from the Authority can be found on the Program's web site at: htt ://ww�v.brownfields,in, 2� . Not -for -
profit or for -profit corporations may be involved in the assessment, remediation or redevelopment project
at the brownfield site at which SEP Funds will be spent, but will not directly receive SEP Funds from the
Program as all awards are made only to the political subdivision involved in a project. Any shortfall of
funding to complete environmental assessment or remediation or redevelopment efforts on the selected
brownfield may be supplemented by other financial assistance awarded by the Program or a site/project-
specific determination by the Program under these guidelines to provide funding to supplement the SEP
Funds in order to facilitate completion of the work needed to allow site's beneficial reuse. If State
brownfields financial assistance will supplement SEP Funds, the Indiana State Budget Agency will be
included as a parry to the Agreement.
'More information on the availability and scope of SEPs can be found on IDEM's web site at:
http v/1demiW4 N 07 htm.
Eligibility Criteria
This section contains the criteria that ensure the SEP Recipient (or another eligible Indiana political
subdivision accepting SEP Funds on behalf the SEP Recipient) and the site are eligible to receive SEP
Funds. The statements listed below must be true with respect to the brownfield site to which the SEP
Funds will dedicated:
• The SEP Recipient did not generate or transport hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants
at or to the site;
• The SEP Recipient did not own the site or operate any facility at the site at the time of disposal of
hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants at the site;
• All disposal of hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants at the site occurred before the
SEP Recipient acquired the site (if applicable);
• The SEP Recipient has not caused, contributed to, or exacerbated the release of hazardous
substances, pollutants or contaminants on or from the site; and,
• No other stakeholder involved at the site (e.g., private property owner, developer) is a financially
viable party that is potentially liable to remediate on -site contamination unless such stakeholder
demonstrates the applicability of an exemption from liability (e.g., landowner liability protection
such as bona fide prospective purchaser ("BFPP") or involuntary acquisition by a political
subdivision) or, at the discretion of the Program, for the purposes of awarding SEP Funds only, a
stakeholder satisfies the criteria to qualify as a BFPP but for having purchased the Site that is the
subject of the Agreement prior to January 11, 2002, so long as the stakeholder can satisfy all the
other BFPP requirements listed below:
• All disposal of hazardous substances at the site occurred before the stakeholder acquired the
site.
• The owner must not be liable in any way for contamination at the site or affiliated with a
responsible party. Affiliations include familial, contractual, or corporate relationships that are
the result of a reorganization of a business entity with potential liability.
• The owner must have made all appropriate inquiries (AAI) in to the prior ownership and uses
of the site prior to purchase. AAI, typically satisfied with an ASTM-based Phase I
environmental assessment, cannot be more than one year old at time of purchase and must be
updated, prior to purchase, if it is more than six months old at time of purchase. Please see
EPA's AAI Final Rule (70 FR 66070) (http :/,`/r,\,w°vv.e,)a.e(,,lv/bt°ovvn elds/1e ne x..hti-n).
• The owner must take appropriate care (reasonable steps) regarding any hazardous substances
found at the site, including preventing future releases and exposures to hazardous substances
on the site.
• The owner must provide all legally required notices and cooperate with authorized response
persons in the event of a discovery or release of any hazardous substances at the site.
• The owner must comply with any land -use restrictions associated with response actions at the
site.
In addition to the above, the following must also be true of SEP Recipient and/or the site at which SEP
Funds will be dedicated:
Supplemental Environmental Project Guidelines
Indiana Finance Authority
November 10, 2008
1. The property meets the definition of a brownfield.z
2. The SEP Recipient (or entity executing the Agreement on behalf of the SEP Recipient) meets the
definition of political subdivision (as defined by IC 13-11-2-164(c)).
3. The site is not subject to an open or pending state or federal enforcement action.
4. The site is not under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action.
5. The site does not present an imminent threat to human health or the environment.
6. If the SEP Recipient intends to use SEP Funds to perform asbestos abatement activities, it has
submitted its "IDEM Notification of Demolition and Renovation Operations" (State Form 44593
(R2/8-99) to IDEM's Office of Air Quality ("OAQ") for review and has received acknowledgment
(notice confirming its receipt) from IDEM OAQ. The "IDEM Notification of Demolition and
Renovation Operations" requires a start date be included on the form; this date should be no earlier
than three (3) months from the date of notification regarding the availability of SEP Funds in order
to allow for the Agreement administrative process to run its course should SEP Funds be awarded.
7. The current owner of the brownfield, if not the SEP Recipient, has provided written consent to the
SEP Recipient for site access to perform the activities on which SEP Funds will be spent. Access
to the brownfield must be given to the State, any consultant(s), the SEP Recipient, and any of their
respective representatives or agents for the duration of the Agreement performance period (two (2)
years from the execution date of the Agreement).
Note: For purposes of threshold eligibility review, the Program, if necessary, may seek clarification of
SEP Recipient information and/or consider information from other sources, including IDEM, the
Authority, or United States Environmental Protection Agency files. In addition, a determination of
eligibility to receive SEP Funds from the Authority under these guidelines does not release any parry from
obligations under any federal or state law or regulation, or under common law, and does not impact or
limit state or EPA enforcement authorities against any party.
Sti t latit)rls
1. Investment (match requirement): SEP Recipients intending to spend SEP Funds on a privately -owned
brownfield site will be required to demonstrate a certain level of investment within a two-year period
following the execution of an Agreement. The required investment will be determined based upon an
SEP Recipient's population and Median Household Income (MHI) from the 2000 census data. Please
refer to the following chart to determine a SEP Recipient's required investment:
2 A threshold issue evaluated by the Program is whether the property on which SEP Funds are sought to be spent meets the
definition of a brownfield, which is a parcel of real estate that is abandoned or inactive; or may not be operated at its
appropriate use; and on which expansion or redevelopment is complicated because of the presence or potential presence of a
hazardous substance, a contaminant, petroleum, or a petroleum product that poses a risk to human health and the environment.
IC 13-11-2-19.3.
Supplemental Environmental Project Guidelines
Indiana Finance Authority
November 10, 2008
In -kind services will be considered "investment" for matching funds only if such services are directly
related to the SEP Recipient's project and/or work performed at the project site. Permanent jobs created
at the redeveloped project site will receive a credit of $1,000 per job created. Temporary jobs (e.g.,
construction related) may not be counted. While not limited to the following, other potential investment
can include costs associated with remediation, demolition, infrastructure, and construction. SEP
Recipients have two years from the date of execution of their Agreement to demonstrate the required
investment. SEP Funds not matched within the two-year period following execution of the Agreement
with the Program will become a loan required to be repaid over a five year term. Requests for an
extension of the investment deadline and an alternative investment credit (e.g., investment in adjacent
properties) must be made in writing to the Program and will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis. The
Program reserves the right to determine if the activities the SEP Recipient applies to this investment
stipulation satisfy the requirement. A fact sheet on the investment requirement is available at
l�itt :Hwww.brom,til°lelds.gn. o N,.
2. Competitive Bidding: SEP Recipients must demonstrate services to be reimbursed with SEP Funds
have been/will be competitively bid. Professional services need to be procured in compliance with IC 5-
16-11.1, and activities other than professional services are required to be procured in compliance with IC
36-1-12. Program Project Managers may assist in developing bid specifications for work to be performed
with SEP Funds. By signing a Disbursement Request Form when seeking reimbursement from the
Authority, the SEP Recipient will be affirming that the invoiced services submitted for payment were bid
pursuant to Indiana law. A competitive bidding fact sheet is available at bt.t :,,�mww.bl°ov�,nfields.in,gov.
Ell Bible tjses of SEP Funds; Disbursement Procedures
SEP Funds can be used for costs associated with eligible and approved assessment, cleanup and
redevelopment activities ("Project Activities"). Costs eligible for SEP Funds include:
• Inventory survey of brownfield sites
• Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ASTM E1527-05)
• Phase II Environmental Site Assessments and related activities
• Asbestos surveys
• Lead -based paint surveys
• Remediation Work Plan development
• Soil, sediment and/or groundwater remediation activities
• Asbestos abatement
• Demolition of existing site structures
• Habitat restoration
• Construction of a cap to develop a walking/bike trail
• Brownfield acquisition by a political subdivision
• Supply a water purification system for a home with a contaminated drinking water well
• Supply a vapor mitigation system to address contaminated indoor air
Project Activities must be conducted consistent with IDEM's Risk Integrated System of Closure ("RISC")
guidelines and local, state and federal regulations as applicable and in effect at the time the Program
4
Supplemental Environmental Project Guidelines
Indiana Finance Authority
November 10, 2008
approves the proposed Project Activities. RISC is a set of health -based standards used to evaluate
cleanup options and contaminants based on detailed site data and proposed site end use to determine the
appropriate cleanup option and contaminant reduction level necessary. All activities conducted with SEP
Funds must receive Program approval prior to implementation.
Disbursements of SEP Funds will be made by the Program to the political subdivision for payment to the
consultant(s) after the Program receives and approves invoices for work performed consistent with
Program -approved Project Activities. Alternately, a SEP Recipient may request that the Program disburse
payments directly to its consultant(s). Specific information about eligible uses of SEP Funds, ineligible
activities and expenses, and disbursements is available in the Supplemental Environmental Projects
Disbursement Guidelines and can be found at Brtt �;°wow bronfi�ds�ila.�cv
ltieli6ble Uses of SEP Funds
SEP Funds cannot be used for any activities conducted prior to execution of an Agreement without prior
approval by the Program. In addition, costs incurred due to specific requirements of the IDEM Voluntary
Remediation Program (i.e., consultant oversight fees, application fees, etc.) or pursuit of historic
insurance coverage will not be covered by SEP Funds.
Further hif'orination
We welcome comments on brownfield SEPs at any time. Questions regarding these guidelines can be
directed to the Indiana Brownfields Program's Senior Environmental Manager at (317) 234-0968. These
guidelines may be modified at any time by the Authority Board to address issues to promote the effective
and efficient administration of the Indiana Brownfields Program.

enforcement cases.
The following general items apply to all disbursements subject to these Guidelines:
• All funding recipients are required to execute a Financial Assistance Agreement
(Agreement) with the Authority.
• Funds are not retroactive. However, certain costs for low -interest loans that are incurred
by recipients prior to a loan closing are eligible with Program approval. Examples include
closing costs (i.e., legal and/or financial advisor fees), Health & Safety Plan and
Remediation Work Plan preparation costs.
• All activities to be funded must receive Program approval prior to implementation.

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. Heartland understands that the proposed scope of
services will be conducted to prepare the site for future redevelopment and will include initial
site assessment, UST removal and potential future environmental remediation activities.
Heartland's technical approach to the scope of service items is discussed below.
2.1 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and Geophysical Survey
Heartland will conduct a Phase I ESA in accordance with the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) rule
per the most recent American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard, Slamlard
Practice eir Envir onaiental Site Assessments: Phase I ESA Process (ASTM E-1527-13).

health and safety plan (HASP) under the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA)
29 CFR 1910.120 for review and approval of IBP staff and any applicable state and/or federal
agency. All site activities will be done in accordance to the work plan and HASP designed for
the project. All site activities will be done in accordance with ASTM, IDEM and USEPA
applicable guidelines.
Prior to removal activities, Heartland will contact the appropriate utility companies to locate and
mark site underground utility conduits/lines. Off -site utilities will also be located if determined
necessary. For purposes of this removal it is not anticipated that the services of a private utility
locater will be necessary. The GPR survey scheduled to be completed as part of the site activities
will also be utilized to assist in marking private utilities at the site.
As part of environmental services provided, Heartland will conduct oversight for the removal of
the UST system at the site, including the USTs and associated piping. Additionally, any residual
liquids and sludge from the tanks and product lines will be cleaned and containerized for
disposal prior to the removal of the USTs. It is anticipated that liquid/sludge material to be
removed will not exceed 1,500-gallons. It should be noted that, according to images reviewed
and a site reconnaissance by Heartland, the fuel dispensers are no longer present at the site. The
areas around the historic former gasoline dispenser island areas will be explored as part of the
provided UST system removal services to confirm that all former dispenser island structures
have been removed.
Heartland will collect confirmation samples as required by IDEM UST guidance, which require
one confirmation soil sample per 20 feet of sidewall, one confirmation soil sample on the bottom
of the tank pit under both ends an individual UST (for USTs less than 10,000-gallons in size),
one confirmation sample per every 20 linear feet of product line, one confirmation sample
underneath each fuel dispenser island, and one groundwater sample per tank pit. Field oversight
activities will include coordination with the selected UST removal subcontractor and the
laboratory, as well as health and safety oversight.
Field oversight will also include screening of both bottom and sidewall samples. Based on field
observations, Heartland will evaluate the presence of impacts to soil. Heartland will work closely
with the IBP to document impacts present and will advise the IBP during the course of the UST
removal should it be necessary to over -excavate encountered impacted soils within and
surrounding the tank pit. Petroleum impacted soils determined to exhibit the highest petroleum
impacts will be over -excavated, if determined necessary. Over -excavation of impacted soils will
not exceed 1,500 tons, unless determined necessary based on field observations and further
authorized by the IBP. Over -excavated soils will be removed and disposed of as impacted waste
at an authorized landfill. After completion of UST removal and any necessary soil over -
excavation, the UST/soil excavation pit will be backfilled with granular, compactable material
and finished to grade with at least four inches of stone.
Soil confirmation samples will be collected, and samples will be submitted to the laboratory
under proper chain -of -custody protocol. Soil samples collected will be submitted for laboratory
analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, polycyclic

federal agency. All site activities will be done in accordance to the SAP and HASP designed for
the project.
Prior to investigation activities, Heartland will contact the appropriate utility companies to locate
and mark site underground utility conduits/lines. Off -site utilities will also be located if
determined necessary. For purposes of this investigation it is not anticipated that the services of a
private utility locater will be necessary.
Heartland will provide oversight for the advancement of up to eight (8) soil borings on the
property. Specific soil boring locations will be determined after consultation with IBP staff and
will be outlined in Heartland's SAP submitted prior to initiation of site activities.
Soil borings will be advanced using a direct push technology rig. During soil boring installation,
soils will be continuously sampled in 2-foot intervals to the base of each boring. Each soil
interval will be screened for total photo -ionizable vapors (TPVs) using a pre -calibrated PID
equipped with a 10.2 eV lamp. Additionally, each soil interval will be inspected for indications
of potential impacts, such as staining, hydrocarbon or solvent odors, and elevated soil gas
readings. Observations and soil screening results will be recorded on Heartland boring logs. Prior
to sampling, each of the soil borings will be surveyed and located with global positioning system
(GPS) coordinates.
During soil boring advancement, strict decontamination procedures will be followed to reduce
the potential for cross -contamination. All drilling and down -hole sampling equipment will be
decontaminated prior to first use onsite, and thereafter between uses. Decontamination will occur
utilizing a high-pressure spray washer coupled with wash in an Alconox solution, followed by
distilled water rinse.
Two soil samples will be collected from each soil boring, at the first encountered subsurface soil
interval and at the interval exhibiting the highest field screening results or at the interval
immediately above the first -encountered groundwater saturated zone. Soil samples will be
submitted for laboratory analysis of VOCs using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, PAHs using
USEPA SW-846 Method 8270SIM and lead using USEPA SW-846 Method 6010B. Laboratory
QA/QC samples will be collected for this sampling event.
In addition to soil samples, groundwater samples will be collected from temporary 1-inch
diameter piezometers installed in each soil boring advanced. Groundwater samples will be
submitted for analysis of VOCs using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, PAHs using USEPA SW-
846 Method 8270SIM, lead using USEPA SW-846 Method 6010B and lead scavengers using
USEPA SW-846 Method 8011. After collection of the groundwater samples, each of the
piezometers will be abandoned and finished to grade.
Please note, that for budgetary purposes sampling of soil and groundwater for PAHs and lead has
been included in this proposal. However, sampling of PAHs in soil and groundwater as part of
the subsurface investigation may be eliminated if, after review of soil confirmation samples

development methodology in accordance to Indiana Administrative Code 312 IAC 13-8-3(m)
and allowed to stabilize for a minimum of 48 hours prior to sampling.
During soil boring advancement and monitoring well installation activities, strict
decontamination procedures will be followed to reduce the potential for cross -contamination. All
drilling and down -hole sampling equipment will be decontaminated prior to first use onsite, and
thereafter between uses. Decontamination will occur utilizing a high-pressure spray washer
coupled with wash in an Alconox solution, followed by distilled water rinse.
After completion of the installation of the groundwater monitoring wells, Heartland will sample the
groundwater monitoring well network. Groundwater monitoring wells will be sampled utilizing
IDEM approved low -flow sampling methodology. Low -flow sampling methodology will include a
Dow through sampling cell for measuring groundwater quality parameters (temperature, pH,
conductivity, dissolved oxygen, oxygen reduction potential and turbidity).
Depth to groundwater data will be collected from each monitoring well to properly evaluate
groundwater flow direction at the site. Groundwater monitoring wells will be additionally
gauged utilizing a Solinst Oil/Water Interface Probe to evaluate for the presence of any light
non -aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs).
Groundwater samples from the groundwater monitoring wells will be submitted to Pace for
laboratory analysis of VOCs using USEPA SW-846 Method 8260, PAHs using USEPA SW-846
Method 8270, lead using USEPA SW-846 Method 6010B and lead scavengers (if determined
necessary) using USEPA SW-846 Method 8011. All groundwater samples collected will be
placed on ice and delivered to Pace for laboratory analysis under Heartland chain -of -custody
protocol. Laboratory QA/QC samples will be collected for these sampling events.
The soil cuttings and purge water generated from the monitoring well installation and sampling
activities will be contained in 55-gallon drums and disposed of appropriately within one (1)
month of generation.
Once the laboratory data has been received, Heartland will prepare a Groundwater Sampling
Report for the site. The report will include field observations from the site sampling activities, a
site plan illustrating groundwater monitoring well locations, groundwater flow direction maps,
laboratory analytical results, comparison of the project data to the IDEM RCG default closure
objectives, conclusions and recommendations.
For budgetary purposes, Heartland is providing the IBP with a budget to conduct quarterly
monitoring of the proposed groundwater monitoring well network for a period of two years
(eight quarters). Heartland is further providing budgetary numbers for groundwater monitoring
well abandonment activities, to be completed after the completion of the groundwater monitoring
activities and the issuance of an NFA for the site.

o Vehicles will include personal use cars and trucks and heavy equipment, including
excavators, loaders and bobcats.
• Recycling containers will be placed onsite to recycle any and all appropriate waste
generated during site activities. Furthermore, any personal food items brought onsite must
be brought in reusable containers and/or recyclable containers to minimize onsite waste
generation;
• Local trucking companies will be utilized to minimize mobilization travel and decrease fuel
consumption and carbon emissions;
o Trucks entering the site and awaiting loads will be asked to shut vehicles off and not
idle while truck loading is ongoing.
• Should soil over -excavation be determined necessary, soils that are determined to be clean
will be segregated and stockpiled for reuse as backfill;
• Soils removed offsite for disposal will be trucked to local landfill sites within the nearest
proximity to the site. For purposes of this project, Heartland anticipates trucking soils to
Prairie View Landfill in Wyatt, Indiana, located approximately 20-miles from the site;
• Local sources (within 15 miles from the site) will be utilized to import clean backfill
material, if determined necessary;
• When appropriate, Heartland will utilize its staff hybrid gasoline/electric vehicles (Toyota
Prius or similar vehicle) to conduct field activities at times when large transport of field
equipment is not necessary. Please note Heartland will man this project from its South Bend,
Indiana office, located approximately 5 miles from the project site.
In addition to these green strategies, Heartland will require its subcontractors, including drilling and
laboratory subcontractors, to follow green principles. Heartland's drilling subcontractor will be
implementing the following activities:
• Idling of vehicles will not be permitted;
• Zero waste generation goals will be in place, with care taken to recycle any generated
waste during site activities;
• Water usage will be kept to a minimum, with care taken to replace decontamination water
when appropriate and to minimize spillage while decontamination of equipment is
occurring. All used decontamination water will be containerized for disposal in reusable
55-gallon steel drums.
Heartland will be working with Pace as its laboratory subcontractor for this project. Pace has
implemented the following green initiatives as part of its overall corporate strategy:
• Pace is a paperless laboratory, providing digital copies of final laboratory reports and
using online tools to provide customers with access to laboratory documents. By being
paperless, Pace uses less paper, printer toner and energy due to the lack of printers and
copiers being run;
• Pace has implemented technological advances to allow for minimizing sample volume
necessary to run specific analytic methods. Reduction of sample volume allows for less
