Re: Gloria Ford Property Hazardous Materials Report, Contract Number 1240LR21P0058

Dear Mr. Barry:

Water, Civil, and Environmental Inc. (WCE Inc.) has conducted a hazardous materials survey to identify potentially hazardous materials associated with the Gloria Ford Property, located in Township 8N, Range 5E Section 2, Lots 9, 12, and 13 and Section 11, Lots 3 and 6 (herein referred to as the “Property”). The Property is accessible from State Highway 17 (Banks-Lowman Road). During the site inspections, which were conducted on July 19, 2021, and August 18, 2021, WCE Inc. personnel examined the Property for universal wastes, hazardous materials/wastes, and toxic wastes, including the following:

Mercury (Hg) thermostats.

Hg fluorescent lights.

PCB ballasts or transformers.

Refrigeration or A/C units containing CFCs.

Smoke detectors.

Propane containers.

Containers of liquids or hazardous waste.

Vehicle batteries.

A list of the quantity and location of each material/waste that will require removal/disposal or recycling before demolition is included in Table 1. Photographs of the materials are found in Appendix 1.

LIMITING FACTORS

This report is based upon the condition of the Property, accessibility of the structures present on the Property, and materials observed at the time of the site inspections. No samples were collected as part of the investigation. In 1996, landslide flow intruded the Property, covering much of the area around the structures and partially filling the main house with sand and rocks. Notably, the debris partially buried two 55-gallon drums in Shed 3, preventing WCE Inc. personnel from determining whether they contained hazardous materials. It should be noted that the landslide flow also may have completely buried additional debris and containers of hazardous materials so that they could not be observed from the surface. In addition to the limitations due to the landslide, several containers observed in the main house contained liquids but were unlabeled. A summary of the hazardous materials and unlabeled containers is included in Table 1.

CONCLUSION

WCE Inc. has performed a hazardous materials inspection of the Gloria Ford Property, located along Highway 17 in Boise County, Idaho. WCE Inc. recommends that the hazardous materials observed be removed and disposed of properly before demolition of the structures on the Property. Additionally, the partially buried 55-gallon drums should be unearthed and any unidentified substances in them and in the other unlabeled containers observed should be characterized and properly disposed of.
