STAFF REPORT TO DIRECTOR <br />CHEVRON LOT CLEANUP <br />October 11, 1995 <br />PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT: <br />Paragraph 9.G. states "the property shall be used for the sole <br />purpose of a parking lot for vehicles or parking equipment." <br />Paragraph 10.E. states, "Buyer reserves the option, at its sole <br />discretion, to conduct remediation of the covered contamination <br />on the property ...." After the buyer and seller agree on the <br />cost to complete the remediation, buyer will pay 1/3 and seller <br />2/3. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT REPORT: <br />Jerry Koschal (639-6305) reported the system is currently working <br />very well. It is a ground water clean up using air sparging and <br />vapor extractions. Ground water is approximately 20 ft deep. <br />The process can not be hurried - it takes time. He expects the <br />clean up process to take another 2- 3 years with one additional <br />year of testing meeting DEQ clean standards. The Statesman <br />Journal site is not impacting this property. The contamination <br />does not appear to be migrating. <br />Paving with well caps allows the process to continue. A roadway <br />would not necessarily require removing the system. If other <br />construction is considered there most likely would be soil <br />removal for a basement. The soil would then have to be disposed <br />at the appropriate landfill or burner. There may be "hot spots" <br />but the greatest expense will be tipping fees because excavation <br />would occur for the construction anyway. Current tipping fees <br />are $600 a truckload ($53 @ ton) at the North Marion County <br />landfill. Mr. Koschal did not see this as a difficult site <br />because it appears to be self-contained. <br />If construction was started soon (within a year or so) the worse <br />case scenario would be working with the DEQ to re-install a clean <br />up system as a part of the new construction. <br />Summary: There's a good possibility the clean up will be com- <br />pleted in 3- 4 years. The greatest cost would be if construc- <br />tion started within a year or two. If later the contaminated <br />soil deposits will be the greatest expense. <br />I also called Bruce Visser and review this information with him. <br />He though it made sense. <br />Let me know if you want additional information. <br />Elyn M.
