Mr. Devin Stettler <br />CEC Proposal 161-618 — Phase II ESA <br />Page 2 <br />March 16, 2018 <br />Wilber Street (the Project Area). The Project proposes to redevelop the abandoned railroad line <br />for use as a recreational public pathway, including construction of an approximately 10 to 12-foot <br />wide paved walkway, light poles and other amenities. <br />CEC understands that the environmental services requested are based on the findings of CEC's <br />Phase I ESA performed in 2016 and updated in 2017, which was conducted as a preliminary <br />assessment to identify the potential presence of hazardous materials within the Project Area. The <br />findings of the Phase I ESA identified multiple recognized environmental concerns (RECs) with <br />potential to impact the subsurface conditions of the Project Area. <br />Following approval of the Phase I ESA findings by INDOT, it was determined that a Phase II ESA <br />is required to further evaluate the RECs identified in the Phase I ESA which may pose a threat to <br />worker safety or require waste handling. A conference call between representatives of UCE, <br />INDOT and CEC on November 1, 2017, concluded that additional assessment was necessary to <br />prepare a site -specific Phase II ESA work plan. <br />CEC, in coordination with UCE, conducted the assessment of the identified RECs via a review of <br />available documents found on the IDEM's Virtual File Cabinet (VFC) to better understand the <br />nature and extent of known contamination and current status of the investigation and remediation <br />efforts at the these facilities, along with their potential to adversely affect the Project Area as it <br />relates to potential exposure risks during construction activities. CEC summarized the findings in <br />the attached Work Plan spreadsheet, which, along with an accompanying proposed sampling <br />locations sketch, was submitted to INDOT for review and approval prior to preparation of this <br />proposal. INDOT approved CEC's site -specific Work Plan on February 15, 2018. <br />2.0 PURPOSE <br />The purpose of our proposed services is to perform soil sampling and associated laboratory analyses <br />to help understand existing Site conditions and, if needed, to support the preparation of a potential <br />site -specific Soil Management Plan (SMP) for the area of the proposed trail construction activities. <br />If encountered, groundwater samples will also be collected for analysis and used to support <br />preparation of appropriate management strategies, if needed, that will be provided within the SMP in <br />the event that groundwater is encountered during construction and excavation activities. <br />3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />CEC will perform the following scope of services: <br />3.1 Task l -- Project Management & Work Plan Develo ment <br />This task includes the project management services provided to -date, including consultation with <br />UCE and INDOT personnel, review of historical records for surrounding sites identified as RECs <br />Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. <br />
