March 2011 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for a series of contiguous parcels owned by the Knife River Corporation (KRC) located on the east and west sides of Whitefish Stage Road, Flathead County, Montana. The parcels are collectively referred to as the “Site” in this report. AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. (AMEC), in collaboration with the City of Kalispell, performed the ESA on behalf of the City of Kalispell. The ESA was completed in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1527-05 (ASTM International 2005). ASTM E 1527-05 complies with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) Final Rule (40 CFR 312). To complete the ESA, AMEC and the City of Kalispell reviewed historical documents, photos, maps, and government records; interviewed the property owners; obtained a regulatory database search report; reviewed appropriate agency files; and conducted a Site visit and visual survey of the property. For descriptive purposes, the Site was divided into two areas: Area A is the riparian portion of the Site west of Whitefish Stage Road, and Area B is the portion formerly used for mining and processing of aggregate materials. We do not recommend any additional assessment of Area A. With the exception of minor quantities of concrete and aggregate materials present near the road, the Site inspection and document review did not indicate that lands within Area A were ever used or developed by the current or previous property owners. Based on the currently available information, Area A appears to have remained in its current, undeveloped state since the late 1930’s. The ESA identifies four recognized environmental conditions (RECs) and one potential REC in connection with Area B (the former gravel pit area), including:  Groundwater and soil contamination originating at the adjacent KRY Montana Comprehensive Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act (CECRA) facility that has migrated onto the eastern portion of Area B.  Several waste oil containers and 55-gallons drums were present along the northwest side of the diesel repair shop that is located within Area B. Soil staining was observed in association with several of the drums in this area. AMEC also noted soil and building foundation staining in a location in this area where steel and plastic piping was present entering the subsurface. One of the steel pipes may have been a vent pipe, and if so, it is possible that a waste oil underground storage tank (UST) could be present at this location. A parts washer, waste oil tank, buckets containing waste oil, and various hydrocarbon and chemical containers were present along the northwestern interior wall of the shop (coincident with the exterior soil staining and steel pipes).  An exterior sump observed near the northwest corner of the diesel shop. The walls of the sump were constructed of concrete, but fluid in the sump at the time of our inspection prevented observation of the bottom of the structure. According to a 2002 Phase I ESA of the Site, water from the sump was periodically spread onsite, and the associated sediment was stockpiled in an onsite bermed area (Olympus Technical Services 2002). It is not known where the water was applied or where the sediment stockpile area was located. The sump and the disposal locations for the wastewater and sediment are collectively considered a REC. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 ii  Fill material containing non-inert materials that were used to fill mined excavations. Interviews with KRC representatives indicate that an unknown quantity of fill has been placed within Area B of the Site. Asphalt fill material was observed on the eastern portion of Area B near Flathead Drive. Non-inert fill on the Site constitutes a REC; however, the types of fill and magnitude of fill placed on the property is unknown.  Suspect asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint associated with on-site buildings is a potential REC. The age of the structures suggest that they may contain asbestos and/or lead- based paint. AMEC recommends a Phase II site investigation to address the above-mentioned RECs. An asbestos and lead-based paint survey of the on-site buildings is also recommended if there are plans to renovate or demolish the buildings. Prior to the collection of any samples, a Sampling and Analysis Plan should be prepared to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with the RECs identified for the Site. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for seven parcels owned by the Knife River Corporation (KRC) located on the east and west sides of Whitefish Stage Road, Flathead County, Montana. The contiguous parcels are hereafter referred to as the “Site.” AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. (AMEC), in collaboration with the City of Kalispell, performed the ESA on behalf of the City of Kalispell Brownfields Program. An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Hazardous Substance Grant paid for the completion of this ESA. The ESA was conducted in accordance with the ASTM International (ASTM) E 1527-05 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments (ASTM Standard, 2005). ASTM E 1527-05 complies with EPA All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) Final Rule (40 CFR 312), which was promulgated November 1, 2005 and took effect November 1, 2006. The seven individual parcels of land which total 56.6 acres are shown in Figure 1. Whitefish Stage Road bisects the western third of the Site. The road is within a county road easement that physically separates a portion of Tract 1 from the rest of the Site. Approximately 15.9 acres of Tract 1 is located on the west side of Whitefish Stage Road. This area is referred to as Area A throughout the Phase I ESA report and the remaining 40.7 acres of the Site are referred to as Area B. Area A is within the floodplain of the Stillwater River, contains primarily wetlands and a riparian zone, and has not been developed. Area B is a former gravel mine and concrete batch plant. A portion of Area B is currently being leased as a diesel repair shop. 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the ESA is to compile and review available information about the Site and immediate vicinity to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs) to the extent feasible pursuant to ASTM E 1527- 05. According to the ASTM Standard, a REC is defined as: “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, ground water, or surface water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimis conditions that generally do not present a threat to public health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate government agencies.”1 1.2 REASON FOR PERFORMING THE ESA The City of Kalispell has commissioned this ESA at the request of Knife River Corporation. The ESA fulfills one of the requirements to qualify future purchasers for the innocent landowner, contiguous property owner, or bona fide prospective purchaser limitations on Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) liability (referred to as the landowner liability protections or 1 The AAI Final Rule applies to “…conditions indicative of releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances… (and) petroleum or petroleum products are excluded from the definition of hazardous substance…” (40 CRF 312.1). ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 2 LLPs). This ESA has been prepared using the ASTM Standard and constitutes “all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practice” as defined at 42 United States Code §9601(35)(B). KRC (formerly JTL Group, Inc.) is the current property owner. Area B of the Site was used in the past as a gravel mine and concrete production plant. The majority of available aggregate products have been mined out of the Site. KRC does not plan to conduct additional mining or resume operations at the concrete production plant. Discussions with Ms. Elaine Hawk of pLAND Land Use Consulting (representing KRC) indicate that the Site is being evaluated for future development, which may include light industrial, commercial, and residential uses. KRC elected to participate in the ESA because they are currently investigating the feasibility of the McElroy & Wilken property for redevelopment. KRC recognizes that a complete understanding of the Site is essential for future development given the proximity of the property to known contaminant sources. Company representatives also expect that the ESA will help to ensure that land use plans are integrated with Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) remediation plans. 1.3 SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of services for this Phase I ESA included the following tasks:  Conducting a field reconnaissance to observe and document current conditions and activities at the Site;  Conducting a visual survey of immediately adjacent parcels from the Site or from public streets;  Interviewing the Site owner;  Reviewing available historical documents, state, tribal and local government records or other restrictions on the Site;  Reviewing available historical aerial photographs and topographic maps for the Site and vicinity;  Obtaining a regulatory database search report to identify reported on-site and off-site chemical releases that may affect soil or groundwater conditions at the Site;  Obtaining a report of environmental liens against the Site;  Reviewing a title report to identify previous tenants and Site history;  Reviewing selected agency files identified in the regulatory database search report to obtain current status of environmental assessments and/or remediation at the Site and nearby properties;  Evaluating the data and identifying data gaps, open issues, and key uncertainties; and  Preparing this report documenting these activities and identified RECs, including our opinions on the significance of the data gaps insofar as they impact the ability to identify possible environmental contamination. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 3 1.4 EXCLUSIONS This ESA did not include collection or chemical analysis of samples of soil, water, air, or on-site structures; or an evaluation of seismic characteristics. In addition, according to the ASTM Standard, the following surveys are not part of the scope of this Phase I ESA: asbestos-containing building materials; lead-based paint; lead in drinking water; cultural and historic resources; ecological resources; biological agents; radon; wetlands; industrial hygiene; endangered species; mold; regulatory compliance; health and safety; and indoor air quality. 1.5 SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS Based on potentiometric surface maps created for an adjacent property to the east (for August and October of 2006), the groundwater flow direction in the vicinity of the Site is assumed to be primarily to the southeast. Groundwater elevation data were not measured during this Phase I ESA. 1.6 LIMITATIONS This report does not constitute legal advice. In addition, AMEC and the City of Kalispell make no determination or recommendations regarding the decision to purchase, sell, or provide financing for the Site. Time Constraint The opinions and conclusions presented in this report are based on the Site conditions observed and information reviewed at the time of this assessment. Information pertaining to Site conditions or changes may exist that the City of Kalispell and AMEC are not aware of or which we have not had the opportunity to evaluate within the time available for this ESA. Uncertainty Not Eliminated Per the ASTM Standard, no ESA can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for RECs in connection with a property. The use of the ASTM Standard is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, this uncertainty. Within the limitations of the agreed-upon scope of work and the ASTM Standard, AMEC and the City of Kalispell have conducted this ESA in a professional manner in accordance with generally accepted practices, using the degree of skill and care ordinarily exercised by environmental consultants under similar circumstances. Due to physical limitations inherent to this or any environmental assessment, the City and AMEC do not warrant that the Site is free of pollutants or that all pollutants have been identified. As such, no absolute determination of environmental risks can be made. No other warranties, expressed or implied, are made. Reliance on Information Provided by Others AMEC and the City have relied upon information provided by others in the evaluation of environmental site conditions reported herein. We did not attempt to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of that information. To the extent that the opinion and conclusions in this report are based in whole or in part on such information, those conclusions are contingent on its accuracy and validity. We assume no ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 4 responsibility for any consequence arising from any information or condition that was concealed, withheld, misrepresented, or otherwise not fully disclosed or available to us. 1.7 USER RELIANCE This ESA report has been prepared for the express use of the City of Kalispell. No other parties shall rely on this report without the written consent from AMEC and the City. AMEC or the City may release this report to third parties; however, such third party in using this report agrees that it shall have no legal recourse against AMEC, its parent, or subsidiaries. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The characteristics and uses of the property and vicinity are described in the following sections. 2.1 LOCATION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION The Site consists of seven tracts of land totaling approximately 56.6 acres. The Site can be legally described as Tracts 1 through 7 of Certificate of Survey number 18380 that was filed with Flathead County on July 2, 2008 (Appendix For the purposes of this report, the Site was divided into Area A and Area B. Figure 1 includes the entire 56.6 acre Site with Areas A and B labeled for reference. Several properties near and adjacent to the eastern portion of Area B are part of a Montana state Superfund (Comprehensive Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act or CECRA) complex known as the KRY site. Further information about the KRY site and its environmental impact on the Site is presented in Section 4.2. 2.2 SITE AND VICINITY GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The general Site setting, geology, hydrogeology, and soil characteristics are summarized in the following paragraphs. 2.2.1 General Site Setting The Site is located in an area of mixed commercial, residential and heavy industrial land uses. The Stillwater River and Whitefish Stage Road are located near the western and northwestern boundaries of the Site, and the Burlington Northern Railroad and Oregon Street are located near the eastern boundary. Although the Site is located just outside of the Kalispell City limit, KRC has signed a waiver of the right to protest annexation. 2.2.2 Geology, Hydrogeology, and Soils The Flathead Valley’s mountainous perimeter is largely composed of metamorphosed sedimentary bedrock of the Belt Supergroup (Harrison et al. 1992). These rocks also underlie the valley, and the depth to bedrock at the Site is between 1,500 and 2,000 feet (Smith 2000a). Above bedrock are Tertiary- and Quaternary-age valley-fill sediments (LaFave 2000). Tertiary-age sediments were deposited on bedrock surfaces. The upper 600 to 1,000 feet of valley fill sediments, which were deposited in the Quaternary ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 5 Period during the most recent glacial cycle, consist of alluvium, glacial till, and glaciolacustrine deposits (LaFave 2000, Harrison et al. 1992). Surficial deposits on the Site consist of Quaternary-age river terrace and glacial lake sediments (Smith 2000b). Glacial stream processes deposited a package of alluvial sand and gravel above the Tertiary-age sediments and below a fine-grained confining unit throughout much of the valley. The sand and gravel unit forms a deep artesian aquifer that supplies most of the potable water to the Kalispell area (Smith 2000c). The groundwater flow direction in the deep aquifer beneath the Site is likely to the southeast, toward the Flathead River (LaFave 2000). Shallow groundwater present at the Site is likely not connected to the deep aquifer (Smith 2000c). The Site is located in the northwest quarter of Section 8, Township 28 North, Range 21 West. At the time it was queried, the GWIC database contained records for approximately 40 wells in the northwest quarter of Section 8. The wells were drilled for domestic, commercial, industrial, public water supply, and monitoring purposes. Most listed well depths are less than 100 feet, and several monitoring wells are associated with the CECRA complex located adjacent to the Site. The majority of wells in the area tap unconsolidated valley-fill deposits. McElroy & Wilken (the former Site operator) is the listed owner for three of the wells in Section 8. GWIC ID 82151 was drilled in 1977 to a total depth of 240 feet. The static water level is listed as 30 feet bgs, and the well produced 90 gpm from a Pleistocene alluvial sand and gravel formation. A second well (GWIC ID 140433) was completed in 1983, although no water level or well completion details were available. A third well was drilled in 1996 to a depth of 260 feet in alluvium. The static water level is listed as 38 feet bgs, and the well produced 50 gpm. Soil at the Site is classified as Kalispell gravelly loam (USDA 2010). The USDA database indicates that the soil formed on stream terraces, and alluvium is listed as the parent material. A profile for this well-drained soil consists of gravelly loam (0-30 inches) and stratified gravelly loamy fine sand to gravelly silt loam below 30 inches. 2.3 CURRENT USE OF THE SITE AND ADJOINING PARCELS Area A is entirely surrounded by undeveloped land located within the floodplain of the Stillwater River. Lands immediately west and south of Area A are owned by the City and are part of Lawrence Park. Lands north of Area A are under commercial ownership. There are five buildings located in the northwestern portion of Area B, including an inactive concrete batch plant, an office/weigh station, an older wood frame building, a steel-frame structure (currently used as a diesel engine repair shop), and a Quonset hut (currently used for storage). Two of the buildings (the diesel shop and the Quonset hut) are leased by KRC to Butch Barber Trucking. Properties north of Area B are or were used for industrial businesses. Former businesses included a timber yard and a refining company. Current businesses include a stone supply company and a lumber yard. Lands uses east of Area B include a mix of commercial/retail businesses, professional offices, and single family residences. Single family homes, a truck repair shop, and a trailer park are located south of Area B (within city limits). ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 6 3.0 INFORMATION PROVIDED BY USER The property is currently owned by KRC. Only the portion of the Site designated as Area B in Figure 1 is still being actively used (leased by a trucking company). The property was previously used as a gravel mine and concrete batch plant. An interview with the Vice President of KRC is discussed in Section 6.0 of this document. 3.1 TITLE RECORD INFORMATION First American Title Company of Kalispell provided a recorded document guarantee for all of the parcels composing the Site. The primary tract (Tract 1 of COS 18380) was quitclaimed to a David McGinnis in 1891 shortly after the patent was recorded. McGinnis owned the property until his death, when it was distributed as part of his estate in 1954. During that period, a lease was recorded in 1930 referring to the “McGinnis Gravel Pit”. There was also an easement recorded in 1915 referencing a mill pond and dam bridge, although it is not clear if the pond and bridge were on this property or an adjacent parcel. Documents recorded after 1954 indicate the continued use of the property as a gravel pit. These include an agreement with the state in 1966 for removal of gravel and other material, a transfer of ownership to McElroy and Wilken (a gravel/construction company) in 1983, and that company’s merger with JTL in 2003. Tracts 2 and 3 of the COS were acquired by McGinnis via patent in 1895. He transferred the properties to another party in 1912, and there does not appear to be a direct connection with the gravel pit from that time until McElroy and Wilken acquired the properties in 1983. Tract 4 of the COS was not part of the McGinnis ownership, and recorded documents did not indicate the use of the property until a recorded lease in 1954 provided for the installation of a television antenna and associated structures. In 1964, the property was sold to Engebretson Gravel. In subsequent years, ownership was transferred to a Mel Jukich, then Ron Pack (who owned various gravel and construction interests), and then McElroy and Wilken in 1993. Tracts 5 and 6 of the COS were acquired by McGinnis in 1908. As with Tract 1, he continued to own the property until his death. The same 1966 agreement with the state for removal of materials was recorded, indicating its use as a gravel pit. The property was acquired by McElroy and Wilken in the same transaction as Tract 1. Tract 7 was transferred to Kalispell Water and Electric in 1893 shortly after the patent. It was later transferred to the Conrad Cemetery and other owners before McElroy and Wilken acquired an interest and later owned the property in 1983. A 1976 lease was recorded for Northwest Telephone to install a microwave tower. 3.2 SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE Mr. Alrick Hale, KRC Vice President, provided AMEC with several documents related to the Site. Mr. Hale received an October 26, 2010 letter from AECOM, Inc. describing the future abandonment of two monitoring wells on the Site. The wells are associated with the KRY site (see Section 4.2). Although the abandonments were scheduled for November 2010, it is unknown whether the wells were abandoned at the time of this ESA. They may be the same wells discussed by Moriah Bucy of the DEQ in Section 4.2. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 7 The documents provided by Mr. Hale included additional information about the KRY site. Details about this Montana State Superfund facility are presented in Section 4.2. Mr. Hale provided a 2002 Phase I report documenting historic fuel storage at the Site. Three underground storage tanks (USTs) were removed in 1995 and replaced with newer tanks. In 1995, a diesel release was discovered at the dispenser for the diesel UST system. This release is confirmed by the Olympus (2002) Phase I ESA, which listed a diesel release from an onsite UST system and floor drains within the concrete batch plant as recognized environmental conditions (RECs). January 2011 communications between AMEC and DEQ staff indicate that the agency closed this diesel release in March 2005. According to DEQ records, the newer tanks (gasoline, diesel, and waste oil) were removed in 2009 and there was no indication of a release at that time. 3.3 Commonly Known or Reasonably Ascertainable Information Information on a portion of Area B and adjacent properties to the north was obtained from the DEQ. Further discussion on the information obtained from DEQ is provided in Section 4.2. 3.4 Valuation Reduction for Environmental Issues Contaminants present on or under the property have likely reduced the value of the Site. However, no details were available on the amount of the valuation reduction. 3.3 OWNER, PROPERTY MANAGER, AND OCCUPANT INFORMATION The current property owner is the Knife River Corporation, 3131 Highway 2 East, Kalispell, MT 59901. 3.4 OTHER No additional information was provided to AMEC. 4.0 RECORDS REVIEW The records reviewed for this ESA included standard environmental databases and readily-available historical information. The information from the review of these documents is described in the following sections. 4.1 STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES This discussion below assumes that the direction of shallow groundwater flow at the Site is to the southeast. This assumption is supported by potentiometric surface maps created for the adjacent KRY site for August and October 2006 (Tetra Tech EM Inc. 2008). AMEC retained Environmental FirstSearch (FirstSearch) to search federal, state, and tribal environmental regulatory databases to identify properties located within 1 mile of the Site with documented environmental releases and/or those that use, store, or dispose of regulated chemicals. The distances of the database searches were consistent with those listed in the ASTM Standard (ASTM 2005). Descriptions of the ASTM databases that were searched and a list of the regulatory database results are presented in the FirstSearch report dated October 27, 2010, which is provided in Appendix B. The information provided by ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 8 FirstSearch is limited to what has been reported or registered in each database. The information was used to evaluate the Site and also to determine whether surrounding properties could potentially affect soil or groundwater on the Site. The report included 41 listings of potential RECs. Onsite Listings The report contains four entries for the Site that are listed in the DEQ’s UST and leaking UST (LUST) databases as well as the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste generator database. USTs The Site is listed in the DEQ’s UST database as Facility ID No. 1501294. AMEC contacted the DEQ UST Section for information on the tanks associated with the Site. Shastina Steinweden of the DEQ indicated that six tanks were formerly located at the Site, but that they have all been removed. In 1995, previous owner Mr. Wilken removed a 6,000 gallon gasoline UST, a 10,000 gallon diesel UST, and a 3,000 gallon waste oil UST. A 2002 Phase II ESA for the Site (Olympus Technical Services, Inc. 2002) indicates that three newer USTs were installed to replace the tanks removed in 1995. According to the DEQ’s online database, the newer tanks were removed in 2009. Ms. Steinweden confirmed that in May 2009, KRC removed a heating oil tank and a two-compartment tank which held diesel and gasoline (listed as two tanks by the DEQ). Releases According to Marcile Sigler (DEQ Petroleum Technical Section), only one petroleum release identification number (2507) has been assigned to the facility. The release is associated with the older USTs, and was confirmed in January 1995 when the tanks were removed. Release 2507 appears to be associated with two separate onsite releases: the diesel dispenser and the waste oil UST. Over-excavation at the diesel tank area south of the diesel shop produced approximately ten cubic yards of soil. According to Ms. Sigler, the soil excavated at the diesel tank area was processed through an onsite washer and was mixed into a cement batch. A second source of contamination was documented in soil at the older waste oil tank (north of the diesel shop). Release 2507 is listed as inactive by the DEQ, which closed the file in March 2005. According to the closure letter (Appendix corrective actions were proper and no additional investigation or cleanup was required. The decision was based on the following: the contamination sources were removed; a test pit completed downgradient of the waste oil tank produced satisfactory results; analytical results indicated that groundwater had not been impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons; and confirmation soil samples collected during remediation were below DEQ risk-based screening levels Residual hydrocarbon contamination remains in soil at the location of the former waste oil tank, but the DEQ indicated that concentrations were below The above information indicates that the release is a historical REC, but does appear to be a current REC. However, site maps provided by the DEQ indicate that the waste oil tank was located on the north side of the diesel repair shop. This is the same general location where soil and foundation staining were observed during the site visit (see Section 5.0). ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 9 Hazardous Waste Database According to the FirstSearch report, the Site is listed as a conditionally exempt small quantity generator of hazardous wastes. Facilities in this category generate less than 100 kilograms per month of hazardous waste. The report indicates that corrosive wastes were generated at the Site. AMEC contacted Mr. Bob Reinke of the DEQ Hazardous Waste Section for further information. Mr. Reinke indicated that the facility was on the DEQ’s hazardous waste transporter list, and that acids were used to clean concrete from equipment. However, the use of such acids is a standard procedure in the industry, and Mr. Reinke was not aware of any problems that have been documented at the Site. An acid storage locker was observed west of the concrete batch plant, and the 2002 ESA noted the presence of floor drains inside the batch plant. KRC representatives indicated that chemical containers associated with the plant previously held detergent cleaners, acids, and concrete admixtures. Dilute acid solutions were used to remove concrete from mixer trucks, and admixtures were added directly to ready mix concrete batches. KRC staff did not have any information regarding previous waste disposal practices associated with batch plant chemicals. AMEC did not observe any evidence of improper onsite waste disposal. Based on the above information, the listing of the Site as a hazardous waste generator is not considered a REC. Offsite Properties Details for selected properties identified within one mile of the Site (Table 1) are provided below. The sites are listed in one of two State of Montana databases: the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) list and the DEQ’s Comprehensive Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act (CECRA) database. The remaining listings in the FirstSearch report are located downgradient or cross-gradient of the Site and are therefore unlikely to have affected the Site. Montana Power Company A release occurred from a 4-inch natural gas distribution line in May 1997. According to the FirstSearch report, the release affected the Stillwater River. High water exposed the line, which was then severed by an unknown cause. The line was shut off to secure the release. No fires were involved, and no service was cut off. No additional information was provided in the FirstSearch report. AMEC contacted Mr. Bob Reinke of the DEQ Hazardous Waste Section for additional information, but he did not have any knowledge of the release. AMEC contacted Northwestern Energy (formerly Montana Power Company), the Flathead City-County Health Department, and the Daily Interlake (newspaper) for additional details. No information was provided by NWE or the Health Department. The Daily Interlake provided a short news article about the incident (Daily Interlake 1997). According to the article, the rupture occurred in a line that had been buried beneath the river channel in the 1970s. It did not present a significant hazard because it occurred near the center of the river, far away from any potential ignition sources. The pipe was abandoned and capped on both sides of the river.

AMEC contacted Mr. Reinke for additional information. According to Mr. Reinke, the DEQ completed a site inspection several years ago and determined that no wood treatment was being conducted on the property. No other issues relating to hazardous wastes were identified. According to DEQ records, one UST was removed from the ground in 1996 at this facility. The site is not listed in the DEQ’s online LUST database, and there is no evidence that a leak occurred at the site. Based on the above information, the property is not considered a REC in connection with the Site. 4.2 ADDITIONAL RECORDS AMEC reviewed several other documents and interviewed state officials for information on the KRY site. A portion of Area B is located within the boundaries of the KRY Montana CECRA facility. The Kalispell Pole & Timber (KPT), Reliance Refining Company (Reliance), and Yale Oil Corporation (Yale) sites neighbor each other and exhibit co-mingled contamination. The DEQ is addressing the sites as one facility that is collectively called the KRY Site. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 11 The KPT site is an inactive wood treating facility that operated from approximately 1973 to 1990. The Reliance facility is an inactive oil refinery that operated from 1924 until the 1960s. The Yale facility is an inactive petroleum bulk plant and product refinery that operated from 1938 to 1978. Soil and groundwater are contaminated with pentachlorophenol, dioxins/furans, aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum hydrocarbons, and metals (primarily lead). The DEQ issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the KRY Site in June 2008 (DEQ 2008). The site remedy consists of:  Institutional controls, including land use restrictions and a controlled groundwater area;  Excavation and disposal of contaminated soils;  Free-product recovery;  Chemical oxidation of the groundwater plume;  Monitored natural attenuation; and  Long-term groundwater monitoring. In October 2009, the DEQ issued a Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP, DEQ 2009) for the KRY site that describes the implementation of the remedy. The RAWP shows that contaminated soils are present on portions of the Site in Area B (Figure Soils contaminated with lead, dioxin, and petroleum hydrocarbons are found on the eastern portion of Area B. This area may also contain an area of petroleum soil contamination. Up to 0.5 feet of free-product has been observed in monitoring wells completed within Area B. Groundwater at the Site is contaminated above DEQ cleanup levels with metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, pentachlorophenol, and dioxin/furans. According to Moriah Bucy, DEQ Project Manager for the KRY facilities, soils containing elevated concentrations of lead were excavated from the Site in October 2010. She also stated that two nested wells on the Site were recently abandoned. Ms. Bucy stated that remedial design is on-going and that cleanup activities are anticipated to continue in spring 2011. In a 2002 letter, the DEQ indicated that the previous owner of the Site (the McElroy and Wilken Company) was no longer considered a potentially responsible party for contamination present on the portion of the gravel pit property north of Flathead Drive as a result of subsurface migration from the KRY site. Nevertheless, the KRY site is considered a REC in connection with Area B of the Site. 4.3 HISTORICAL INFORMATION Aerial photos were obtained from the Flathead Soil Conservation District and the City of Kalispell (Appendix Topographic maps (Appendix E) were used to compile historical information about the Site. Sanborn maps were downloaded online at www.sanborn.umi.com. AMEC also requested that EFS conduct a record search of environmental liens against the Site. A copy of their environmental lien search report is presented in Appendix F. A summary of historical information pertaining to the Site and its surroundings obtained from the information sources listed above is presented below. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 12 4.3.1 Historical Aerial Photographs City of Kalispell staff reviewed available historical aerial photographs of the Site and vicinity from 1938 through 2006. Observations from the aerial photographs reviewed are presented in Table 2. 4.3.2 Historical Topographic Maps The City of Kalispell reviewed two topographic maps from the U.S. Geological Survey. The 1:24,000 scale map dated 1962 shows the city limits and surrounding streets, rivers and buildings. For Area A, the Site is unimproved and the Stillwater River is shown flowing through the northern end of the area. For Area B, the map indicates two gravel pits, one in the southern portion of the Site and the other in the northwestern corner. Topographic contours indicate that the majority of the Site was formerly a large hill. Several buildings are shown north and south of the northwestern gravel pit. A dirt road is shown providing access from Whitefish Stage Road to the approximate center of the Site. A green band shown along the north boundary of Area B represents the tree stand shown in aerial photos taken prior to 1974. Numerous structures are depicted to the north, south, and east of the Site. The 1:24,000 scale map dated 1994 shows the surrounding streets, rivers and buildings. For Area A, the Site is still unimproved with the Stillwater River cutting through the northern end of the area. For Area B, the map indicates two gravel pits, one in the southern portion of the Site and the other in the northwest corner. The small dash marks encircling each of the gravel pits in the 1962 map are now gone. This would appear to indicate that the gravel pits have expanded to cover the majority of the area which is consistent with the 1998 and 2006 aerial photos. Several buildings are shown north and south of the northwestern gravel pit. A dirt road is shown providing access from Whitefish Stage Road to the approximate center of the Site. A green band shown along the northern boundary of Area B represents the tree stand shown in the aerial photos taken prior to 1974. The topographic maps provide information about former land uses, but do not indicate the presence of any onsite or offsite RECs. Table 2. Aerial Photograph Observations Date Source of Aerial Photo 1938 US Dept. of Agriculture Area A – Undeveloped floodplain and wetlands along the Stillwater River Area B – The northwest corner shows evidence of small scale mining on the land; no buildings are visible in the immediate area. A small stand of trees is located on the north end of the Site oriented in an east-west direction. Near the northeast corner of the Site are approximately one dozen cylindrical containers for petroleum product storage (location of the former Reliance site). 1946 US Dept. of Agriculture Area A – Undeveloped floodplain and wetlands along the Stillwater River Area B – The northwest corner includes a small gravel pit with evidence of expansion into the hillside running along the southwest corner of the Site. Small buildings are visible in the immediate area of the gravel mine. The small stand of trees is still present and the northeast corner has several small buildings in addition to the containers for petroleum products. A small gravel pit is visible on the south end of the Site. North of the Site is a post and pole yard with buildings and log decks evident in the photo. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 13 Table 2 (continued). Aerial Photograph Observations Date Source of Aerial Photo 1954 US Dept. of Agriculture Area A – Undeveloped floodplain and wetlands along the Stillwater River Area B – The buildings in the northwest have expanded in size. The concrete batch plant is now evident. The gravel pit continues to expand south into the hillside running along the southwest corner of the Site. Small buildings are visible in the immediate area of the gravel mine. The small stand of trees is still present and the northeast corner is unchanged. The gravel pit on the south end of the area has expanded to the north. North of the Site, industrial development has dramatically increased with more buildings and log decks. 1961 US Dept. of Agriculture Area A – Undeveloped floodplain and wetlands along the Stillwater River Area B – The gravel pit in the northwest corner still continues to expand south and east. The gravel pit on the south end of the area now has equipment at the Site. North of the area the industrial development is still very active with numerous buildings and log decks. More development is occurring east of the Site across the railroad tracks. 1974 US Dept. of Agriculture Area A – Undeveloped floodplain and wetlands along the Stillwater River Area B – The gravel pit in the northwest corner still continues to expand south and east, now into the tree stand on the Site. The equipment in the gravel pit on the south end of the area has been removed. A new gravel pit is operating on the east end of the Site. 1998 US Dept. of Agriculture Area A – Undeveloped floodplain and wetlands along the Stillwater River Area B (only the northwest portion is shown) – The gravel pit in the northwest corner is still evident. The pit has expanded further south nearing the property boundaries and has expanded further east. The tree stand has been at least partially removed by mining. 2006 City of Kalispell Area A – Undeveloped floodplain and wetlands along the Stillwater River Area B – The gravel pit has expanded to cover most of the Site. Most of the vegetation on the Site is gone. The only buildings remaining on the Site are located in the northwest corner, the location of the original gravel pit in 1938. The industrial operations north of the area have been scaled back (based on the removal of several buildings and log decks). 4.3.3 Sanborn Maps City of Kalispell staff reviewed Sanborn Maps from the years 1892, 1894, 1899, 1903, 1910, 1927 and 1950. The Site is outside the boundaries of the map years listed above, and therefore, no maps were available. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 14 4.3.4 Environmental Lien Records EFS did not identify any environmental liens or activity and use limitations associated with the property. A copy of the lien search report is included as Appendix F of this ESA. 5.0 SITE VISIT Staff from AMEC and the City of Kalispell Planning and Building Department completed an initial site visit on November 1, 2010. Participants included Adam Johnson of AMEC and the following City staff: Thomas Jentz (Planning Director); Sean Conrad (Senior Planner); and P.J. Sorensen (Planner II). Mr. Johnson conducted an additional reconnaissance of the Site on November 2, 2010. Observations made during the field visits are summarized in this section. 5.1 METHODOLOGY AND LIMITING CONDITIONS The Site was observed by driving and walking the property and recording interior and exterior observations. Photographs obtained during the field visits are included as Appendix G. The office/weigh station building and a nearby older frame building were locked and were not accessible. Although the interior of the concrete batch plant was accessible, AMEC did not observe the upper levels of the plant building due to safety concerns. All other interior and exterior areas of the Site were accessible. 5.2 ON-SITE OBSERVATIONS The undeveloped portion of the Site (Area A) was inspected by AMEC on November 2, 2010. The area was dominated by floodplain, wetland, and riparian habitats. Vegetation included deciduous and coniferous trees, grasses, weeds, and shrubs. Some portions of Area A could not be accessed due to the presence of impenetrable vegetation or small water bodies present in flood channels. AMEC did not observe any evidence of mining activity or any other permanent improvements to Area A. One small portion of land adjacent to Whitefish Stage Road appeared to have been disturbed; aggregate materials may have been placed there in the past, and minor concrete waste was noted at the same location. Area B of the Site is a former gravel mine. Permanent structures in this area include a concrete batch plant, an office/weigh station (locked), an older wood frame building (locked), a steel-frame structure (currently used as a diesel engine repair shop), and a Quonset hut (currently used for storage). An outside acid storage locker was located near the batch plant and several drums and containers were present at scattered locations on the property. The drums and containers held waste oil and other unidentified fluids. The buildings and surrounding land uses are identified on Figure 3. Area B is generally flat, although the original land surface has been removed by past gravel mining operations. The highest land surfaces were located in the southwestern portion of the property, and the lowest elevations were observed in excavations in the eastern portion of the Site. No surface water bodies were observed. Bedrock was not present at the Site. However, a partial stratigraphic section (unconsolidated valley-fill sediments) was exposed in the eastern portion of the Site near Flathead Drive. The exposure indicates that the Site is underlain by alluvial terrace deposits and/or glacial lake sediments. Well- to poorly-sorted and ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 15 interbedded sand, gravel, and silt are consistent with fluvial deposition. Lake sediments are represented by finely laminated silts. Land surface cover consisted of large expanses of exposed gravel and soil, some grass-covered areas, and small areas of asphalt and concrete pavement. Roads adjacent to the Site include: Whitefish Stage Road (western Site boundary); East Oregon Street (south and east); Flathead Drive (north and east); and an unnamed gravel road that forms the northern property boundary. A rail line (BNSF Railroad) parallels Flathead Drive and East Oregon Street, and a rail spur extends from east to west to the north of the Site. Several waste oil containers and 55-gallons drums were present along the northwest side of the diesel repair shop. Soil staining was observed in association with several of the drums. AMEC also noted soil and building foundation staining in a location where steel and plastic piping was present entering the subsurface. One of the steel pipes may have been a vent pipe, and if so, it is possible that a waste oil UST could be present at this location despite DEQ records indicating that it has been removed. A parts washer, aboveground waste oil tank, buckets containing waste oil, and various hydrocarbon and chemical containers were present along the northwestern interior wall of the shop (coincident with the exterior staining). Several areas of concrete floor inside the shop were stained. AMEC observed two sumps associated with the diesel shop. An interior sump was located parallel to and in the northern half of the shop. This structure consisted of a concrete-lined trench approximately three feet deep. The walls and floor of the sump contained minor staining, but appeared to be intact and in good condition. Several drains in the floor of the shop emptied into the interior sump. An exterior sump was observed near the northwest corner of the diesel shop. The walls of the sump were constructed of concrete, but fluid present prevented observation of the bottom of the structure. A diesel mechanic present during the Site visit stated that the contents of the interior sump were periodically transferred to the exterior sump. He also indicated that he had never seen the exterior sump fill completely, nor had he observed it being emptied. According to a 2002 Phase I ESA of the Site, water from the sump was spread onsite, and sediment was stockpiled in an onsite bermed area (Olympus Technical Services 2002). It is not clear whether these activities still occur. A septic system access port was noted near the sump. One water supply well was observed on the west side of the concrete batch plant. Several monitoring wells were also observed on Area B. A typical well surface completion is shown in Appendix G. These wells are associated with the KRY site located north and east of the Site. Concrete block waste piles were present on the eastern portion of Area B. In addition, AMEC observed smaller piles of asphalt and poured concrete waste in this area. One trailer-mounted aboveground storage tank was located near the concrete batch plant. The tank may have been used to store water, and no soil staining was observed. A shallow plastic-lined excavation was present near one of the monitoring well pads beside the northern edge of Area B. The purpose of this excavation is unknown. Heavy equipment was stored along the northern boundary of the Site, north of the diesel shop. AMEC did not observe any soil staining in this location. Assessments of asbestos-containing building materials and lead-based paint are beyond the scope of a Phase I ESA. However, these materials may be present in association with one or more of the buildings present in Area B. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 16 5.3 SURROUNDING PROPERTIES During the field visit, excavation work was occurring on the northeastern portion of the Site (north of Flathead Drive). The area north of the excavation work is the former location of the Reliance Refining Company. AMEC observed monitoring wells on the Reliance site at the time of the field visit. Numerous monitoring wells were also present on property north of the eastern portion of Area B. This property is the site of the former Kalispell Pole and Timber Company. Although not directly observed during the Site visit, the former Yale Oil Corporation property is located east of the Site. The Kalispell Post and Pole, Reliance, and Yale sites are collectively known as the KRY site, and they are managed as one CECRA facility by the DEQ (see Section 4.2). Other land uses surrounding the Site include industrial, residential, commercial, and retail (Figure 6.0 INTERVIEWS On November 2, 2010 AMEC interviewed Mr. Alrick Hale, KRC Vice President of KRC, about his knowledge of the Site. Mr. Hale indicated that the property address is 801 Whitefish Stage Road. The Site was owned and operated by McElroy & Wilken, Inc. from the 1950s until 2003, when it was acquired by KRC. A well located on the western end of the batch plant serves the onsite buildings. The onsite concrete batch plant was inactive at the time of the interview. Mr. Hale was not aware of any asphalt plants that had operated on the Site. The onsite buildings have been used for maintenance and repair for the last few decades. Two of the buildings (the diesel shop and the Quonset hut) are currently leased to Butch Barber Trucking. The westernmost structure that fronts on Whitefish Stage Road is an office building. A weigh station is located immediately south of the office building. Mr. Hale was aware that the Kalispell Pole and Timber Company site is a source of contamination in the area. He indicated that several monitoring wells have been installed on the Site, and that offsite sources have impacted the subject property. Concrete fill has been placed on portions of the eastern side of the Site. A release was documented in association with underground storage tanks (USTs) at a fueling facility formerly located east of the current diesel repair shop. Mr. Hale indicated that the fueling site had been remediated. Mr. Hale indicated that several previous and/or current employees may have information relating to the history of the Site. Although these employees were not available for interviews as of the date of this ESA, they will be able to provide information in the future if necessary. Mr. Hale provided AMEC with several documents relating to the Site and the adjacent CECRA facility. These documents are reviewed in Section 3.2 of this ESA. Interviews with KRC owner representatives indicate that an unknown quantity of fill has been placed on the Site. Specifically, fill and some solid waste (concrete and some asphalt) has been placed on the eastern portion of the Site. KRC is concerned about potential environmental impacts on the Site from the fill, whose origin is unknown. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 17 7.0 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS AMEC has performed a Phase I ESA of the KRC Site located immediately north of the City of Kalispell, Montana in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Standard E 1527-05. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 9.0 of this report. We do not recommend any additional assessment of Area A of the Site. With the exception of minor quantities of concrete and aggregate materials present near the road, the Site inspection and document review did not indicate that the land was ever used or developed by the current or previous property owners. Based on the currently available information, Area A appears to have remained in its current, undeveloped state since the late 1930’s. The ESA identifies four recognized environmental conditions (RECs) and one potential REC in connection with Area B (the former gravel pit area), including:  Groundwater and soil contamination originating at the adjacent KRY Montana Comprehensive Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act (CECRA) facility that has migrated onto the eastern portion of Area B. The KRY site and associated contamination of Area B is a REC in connection with the Site.  Several waste oil containers and 55-gallons drums present along the northwest side of the diesel repair shop. Soil staining was observed in association with several of the drums in this area. AMEC also noted soil and building foundation staining in this area where steel and plastic piping entered the subsurface. One of the steel pipes may have been a vent pipe, and if so, it is possible that a waste oil UST could be present at this location. A parts washer, waste oil tank, buckets containing waste oil, and various hydrocarbon and chemical containers were present along the northwestern interior wall of the shop coincident with the exterior soil staining and steel pipes.  An exterior sump observed near the northwest corner of the diesel shop. The walls of the sump were constructed of concrete, but fluid in the sump at the time of our inspection prevented observation of the bottom of the structure. According to a 2002 Phase I ESA of the Site, water from the sump was periodically spread onsite, and the associated sediment was stockpiled in an onsite bermed area (Olympus Technical Services 2002). It is not known where the water was applied or where the sediment stockpiled area was located. The sump and the disposal location for the wastewater and sediment is considered to be a REC.  Fill material containing non-inert materials that were used to fill mined excavations. Interviews with KRC representatives indicate that an unknown quantity of fill has been placed within Area B of the Site. Asphalt fill material was observed on the eastern portion of Area B near Flathead Drive. Non-inert fill on the Site constitutes a REC; however, the types of fill and magnitude of fill placed on the property is unknown.  Suspect asbestos containing materials and lead-based paint associated with on-site buildings is a potential REC. The age of the structures suggest that they may contain asbestos and/or lead- based paint. AMEC recommends a Phase II site investigation to address the above-mentioned RECs. An asbestos and lead-based paint survey of on-site buildings is also recommended if there are plans to renovate or demolish ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Kalispell Phase I ESA: Knife River Property AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. March 2011 18 the buildings. Prior to collection of any samples, a Sampling and Analysis Plan should be prepared to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with the RECs identified for the Site. 8.0 DEVIATIONS AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES No deviations or deletions from ASTM Standard E 1527-05 were made during preparation of this ESA.
