TARGETED BROWNFIELD ASSESSMENT For Oklahoma Army National Guard Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma ASTM E 1527-05 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment All Appropriate Inquiry Prepared by: December 16, 2010 Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 3 Background and Disclaimer: The purpose of an environmental site assessment is to identify actual or potential “recognized environmental conditions” that may result in liability or land use restrictions. The ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment E 1527 – 05 is the minimum standard for environmental due diligence in the commercial real estate industry and meets the standard for All Appropriate Inquiry under the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002. A diligent effort in accordance with generally accepted good commercial and customary standards and practices was undertaken to identify the “recognized environmental conditions” that might affect the redevelopment project. However, the identification of old hazardous waste sites is an evolving process; therefore, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) cannot state with absolute certainty that no other potential hazardous waste sites are located in the area. In no event shall the DEQ or its employees be liable for any damages, injury, loss, cost or expense whatsoever arising in connection with the use or reliance on the information contained in this report, except as otherwise provided by law.

Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 6 1.0 Executive Summary On November 2, 2010, Beatriz Santamaria and Dustin Davidson of the DEQ performed a site reconnaissance of the former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory that is located at the southeast corner of Southwest 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. All other research on the Targeted Brownfield Assessment (TBA) was performed by Heather Mallory with the DEQ. The subject property is in a section of town characterized by residential areas, commercial development, and a city park. The purpose of the TBA was to identify potential environmental concerns by reviewing historical data, regulatory information, and by performing a visual inspection of the site and surrounding area. The following is an executive summary of the environmental site assessment results: • Recognized environmental conditions (RECs) on site are the possible indoor firing range (IFR) and possible buried sand trap in the drill floor. • Due to the age of the building, there is a potential for asbestos and lead-based paint at the subject property. There is also a potential for lead dust in the building due to weapons fire and cleaning. • Meth houses have been reported nearby. One of the meth houses recently caught fire, therefore, this is considered a REC due to the potential air emissions associated with chemicals burning. • The subject property is composed of 5 acres of land. The armory building is surrounded by grassy areas on all sides and by paved parking areas on the east, west, and south sides. The vehicle compound is located on the east side and is bordered by Brock Creek. • Adjoining properties in the area are commercial, residential, and recreational in nature. To the north are a bowling alley, restaurants, apartments, and a gas station. To the east are Young’s Park, a residential area, and some commercial properties. To the south is Young’s Park. To the west is a residential area. According to Sergeant Kevin Coffman, several of the houses nearby are meth houses and one recently caught fire. • The aerial photographs from 1995 to 2010 show an area of oil and gas development to the south of the armory building, south of Brock Creek. Several oil and/or gas tanks are observed in these photographs. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s (OCC) Oil and Gas Well database shows four wells listed for Young’s Park. The OCC oil and gas database indicates that oil exploration was attempted in the past. However all of these wells have been abandoned or plugged. Since this area of oil and gas development is located on an adjacent property, it is considered a REC. One gas well is currently operating onsite. Three oil or gas wells are listed as being near the subject property. These do not appear to be located on adjacent properties. One of these wells has been plugged and the other two are listed as active and probably producing. • The Sanborn map from 1922-1955 for the Oklahoma City area showed the subject property as Brock Park. No armory building is shown in the Sanborn map. Adjacent Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 7 properties to the north, south, east, and west are all residential. No other Sanborn maps for the subject properties were viewed for this assessment. • The Polk City Directories from 1955 to 1970 were viewed at the Oklahoma City Downtown Metropolitan Library for the subject property only. Two addresses were found for the National Guard Armory. It appears that both addresses pertain to the armory. One of the addresses, 2222 SW 44th Street, corresponds to the current address of the armory and is listed as the National Guard Meeting Room in the 1970 directory. Prior to 1970, 2222 SW 44th Street was not listed in the city directories. The other address, 2140 SW 44th Street, is listed as the National Guard Armory in the 1970 directory. The 2140 SW 44th Street address was listed as vacant in 1958 and 1966, as Harmon AJ Plumbing and Heating Contractors from 1959 to 1964, and Security Fence Construction in 1965. • No National Priorities List (NPL) or delisted NPL sites, active Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) site listings, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action (CORRACTS) and non-CORRACTS Treatment, Storage, or Disposal (TSD) listings, Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) list, State-equivalent NPL or CERCLIS lists, or State landfills and/or solid waste disposal sites were found on the subject property or within the ASTM recommended search radii. No archived CERCLIS site listings, RCRA generators, or Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) sites were found on the subject property. No Brownfield sites were found on the subject property either. The armory building on the subject property is being investigated for potential lead-based paint, lead dust, and asbestos. If any of these materials are found, the DEQ Site Cleanup Assistance Program (SCAP) will address them during cleanup of the building. • Five confirmed Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) cases and one unconfirmed LUST case were reported in the OCC’s Underground Storage Tank (UST) database within the ½ mile radius of the subject property. No LUST cases were reported on the subject property. Some of the LUST cases are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • No registered UST’s were found on the subject property. However, 28 registered USTs were found within ½ mile of the subject property. None of the adjacent properties contained registered USTs. Some of the USTs are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • The property owner and representatives of the property were not aware of any Institutional Controls (ICs) or Engineering Controls (ECs) on the property. No ICs or ECs were found in the Oklahoma County Courthouse records. 2.0 INTRODUCTION The State of Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) under a Brownfield Assistance Agreement (No. RP976412010) (Ref. 1) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 8 Agency (EPA) conducted a Targeted Brownfield Assessment of a property on the southeast corner of SW 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard (2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). 2.1 Purpose The purpose of this assessment is to look at the environmental conditions within the target area and provide this information to the City of Oklahoma City to assist in its revitalization planning as well as meet the All Appropriate Inquiry requirement of the landowner liability protections under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, better known as Superfund – Ref. 2), as provided in the Small Business Relief and Brownfield’s Revitalization Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-118, Subtitle B – Ref. 3). The purpose of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is to identify, to the extent feasible, recognized environmental conditions in connection with the target property through a systematic review of readily available information sources and a site reconnaissance. The DEQ is providing technical assistance to the project by evaluating the environmental condition of the property prior to the City acquiring the property. Funding for this assessment has been provided by the EPA. 2.2 Detailed Scope-of-Services The DEQ examined the current use of the property and then identified the historical uses of the property to determine if recognized environmental conditions exist. The DEQ examined historical documents, governmental databases, oil and gas records, aerial photographs, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, and conducted interviews, and performed a site reconnaissance of the area. A good faith effort was made to identify possible environmental conditions that might affect the development of the property. 2.3 Significant Assumptions Significant assumptions of the subject property from the history and knowledge of the subject property indicate that the drill floor may have been used as an indoor firing range and that weapons were cleaned onsite. 2.4 Limitations and Exceptions The purpose of an environmental site assessment is to identify actual or potential “recognized environmental conditions” that may result in liability, land use restrictions, or cause delays in revitalization. The ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment E 1527 – 05 (Ref. 4) is the minimum standard for environmental due diligence in the commercial real estate industry and meets the standard for All Appropriate Inquiry under the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002. A diligent effort in accordance with generally accepted good commercial and customary standards and practices was undertaken to identify the “recognized environmental Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 9 conditions” that might affect the revitalization project. However, the identification of old hazardous waste sites is an evolving process; therefore, DEQ cannot state with absolute certainty that no other potential hazardous waste sites are located in the area. This assessment was conducted under constraints of time, cost, and scope and reflects a limited investigation and evaluation. It reflects the normal degree of care and skill that is ordinarily exercised by environmental professionals conducting business in this or similar localities. In no event shall the DEQ or its employees be liable for any damages, injury, loss, cost or expense whatsoever arising in connection with the use or reliance on the information contained in this report, except as otherwise provided by law. The information in this report is based on a review of governmental records, interviews with knowledgeable representatives of the property, information provided by the Oklahoma Military Department, and observations of the environmental professional. The result of this assessment, as written in this report, is valid as of the date of report. The assessment does not include sampling of rock, groundwater, surface water, or air. 2.5 Special Terms and Conditions This assessment report has been prepared for the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by the DEQ using EPA funding. Information about this report will be provided to the EPA for its files. This report and the working file are public record and subject to the Oklahoma Open Records Act and the federal Freedom of Information Act. 3.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND HISTORY 3.1 Location and Legal Description The subject property is located in the southeast corner of SW 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard (2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). The subject property is located in the NW1/4, NE1/4, NE1/4 of Section 19, Township 11 North, and Range 3 West Indian Meridian. This property is described on the lease agreement as: All of block 2, including the alley therein which has never been used by the public, 45th Street between blocks 2 and 7 which has never been used by the public; and the north 13’ of lots 1 to 24 inclusive of block 7; all in Moore’s Heights Addition to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, containing five acres more or less. The land is owned by the City of Oklahoma City and leased to the State of Oklahoma on November 28, 1962 to build the National Guard armory. A deed search was performed and only the lease agreement between the City of Oklahoma City and State of Oklahoma could be found. A search of archived newspaper articles from the Daily Oklahoman was performed and several news articles were found about the armory. An article from June 14, 1963 indicates that the property was a city park before the armory was constructed (see Appendix A). A site map and topographical map of the property have been provided in Appendix B of this report. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 10 3.2 Site and Vicinity Characterization The subject property is an approximate 5 acre tract of land with an armory building built onsite. It is located in south Oklahoma City, in the southeast corner of SW 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard (2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). North of the subject property lies the Penn 44 Lanes bowling alley, pawn shop, bank, bridal shop, church, restaurants, and an apartment complex. Brock Creek bounds the subject property to the east. To the east of Brock Creek are residential areas, Young’s Park, restaurants, a thrift store, VFW Post, and Unique Cleaners dry cleaning downgradient to the armory. South of the subject property is Young’s Park. West of the subject property is a residential area. The areas where the subject property and adjacent properties are located are best characterized by residential and commercial development. A site vicinity map of the subject property can be found in Appendix B. A review of the topographical map indicated that the surface elevation of the site is approximately 1230 feet above mean sea level. The topographical gradient is to the southeast, toward Brock Creek. Brock Creek is located on the eastern edge of the subject property. The topographical map can be found in Appendix B. 3.3 Description of Structures, Roads, and Other Improvements The subject property consists of approximately 5 acres of land bounded by Brock Creek to the east, with a brick armory building built onsite. The northern portion of the property houses the armory building and the southern portion of the property is a city park. SW 44th Street bounds the subject property to the North and South Youngs Boulevard bounds the subject property to the west. The subject property is in an urban area and is surrounded by homes and businesses. 3.4 Owner, Property Manager, and Occupant Information The subject property was leased by the Oklahoma Army National Guard from 1961 to 2010. The subject property is currently owned by the City of Oklahoma City. See Appendix A for lease agreement. 3.5 Information Reported by User Regarding Environmental Lien or Specialized Knowledge or Experience The property owner and/or representatives reported no environmental liens on the subject property and had no specialized knowledge or experience regarding recognized environmental conditions at the site. 3.6 Commonly Known or Reasonably Ascertainable Information It is commonly known within the community that the National Guard Armory resides on the subject property. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 11 3.7 Valuation Reduction for Environmental Issues Valuation of the property is outside the scope of this assessment. A professional appraiser should be consulted to place a value on the property. 3.8 Current Use of the Property The armory building on the property is currently being vacated by the Oklahoma Army National Guard. DEQ will clean up lead and asbestos in the building and the building will be turned over to the City of Oklahoma City. A city park is located south of the subject property. The city park is not part of this Phase I Targeted Brownfields Assessment. 3.9 Past Use of the Property 3.9.1 Review of Aerial Photographs Historic aerial photographs were searched to view the changes to the property over time. The 1941 aerial photograph was found at the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. The aerial photographs from 1995, 2003, and 2008 were obtained from the DEQ database of aerial photographs. The aerial photographs from 2006 and 2010 were found on Google Earth. Aerial photographs from 1941, 1995, 2003, 2006, 2008, and 2010 were obtained. All these photographs are located in Appendix B. The following represents a summary of what was found at the subject property from each photograph. 1941 aerial photograph The 1941 aerial photograph shows the subject property to be farmland. 1995 aerial photograph The 1995 aerial photograph shows the subject property developed as the Armory. Young’s Park is shown to the south and an area of oil and gas development can be seen near a residential area. Brock Creek is shown to the east of the large building. Residential areas are shown to the east and west. Commercial areas are shown to the north. 2003 aerial photograph The 2003 aerial photograph shows some dirt work along Brock Creek on the subject property and across the street to the north. Most adjoining properties appear to be the same as in 1995. A few buildings have been added to the west of the subject property. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 2006 aerial photograph Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 12 The 2006 aerial photograph shows a concrete channel for Brock Creek that was not shown in the 2003 aerial photograph. Other then the absence of dirt work and new creek channel, the subject property did not change in appearance from the 2003 aerial photograph. Adjoining properties have not changed much either. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 2008 aerial photograph The 2008 aerial photograph shows the building to the south as being removed. It appears that a round concrete pad has been poured in place of the building. Not much has changed on the subject property other than four metal storage containers being added to the southeast corner of the armory parking lot, near Brock Creek. Adjacent properties have not changed much either. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 2010 aerial photograph The 2010 aerial photograph shows a water spray park on the round concrete slab and playground equipment located south the subject property. The subject property has not changed much form the 2008 aerial photograph. It appears that three metal storage containers are now located in the southeast corner of the armory parking lot, near Brock Creek. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 3.9.2 Fire Insurance Maps Sanborn Fire Insurance maps were viewed and downloaded from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries website. One Sanborn map of the subject property and adjoining properties was found for 1922-1955. This Sanborn map is located in Appendix C. The following represents a summary of what was found at the subject property and adjoining properties for this Sanborn map. 1922-1955 Sanborn map The 1922-1955 Volume 4, sheet 438 Sanborn shows the subject property as a city park called Brock Park during that time. No armory building is shown. Adjacent properties to the north, south, east, and west are residential. 3.10 Current and Past Uses of Adjoining Properties The adjacent properties are currently developed as follows according to Google Earth: to the south is a city park; to the north is the Penn 44 Lanes bowling alley; to the west is a residential area; to the east is a residential area, thrift store, VFW post and a dry cleaner; Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 13 to the northeast is a pawn shop, restaurant, bank, and apartments; and to the northwest is a restaurant, church, bridal shop, and residential area. The 1922-1955 Sanborn shows the subject property without an armory and indicates that the property was a city park called Brock Park during that time. Adjacent properties to the north, south, east, and west are residential. The Polk City Directories from 1955 to 1970 were viewed at the Oklahoma City Downtown Metropolitan Library for the subject property only. Two addresses were found for the National Guard Armory. It appears that both addresses pertain to the armory. One of the addresses, 2222 SW 44th Street, corresponds to the current address of the armory and is listed as the National Guard Meeting Room in the 1970 directory. The other address, 2140 SW 44th Street, is listed as the National Guard Armory in the 1970 directory. The following table summarizes the information found in the directories.

These sources include: The United States Department of Agriculture Oklahoma County Soil Survey, Oklahoma Geological Survey, and the Federal Emergency Management Association. Review of the physical setting of the area is to evaluate the sensitivity of the hydrogeology to potential contamination from sources either on or near the site Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 14 3.11.1 Surface Water Characteristics According to the DEQ Dataviewer, the nearest water body is Brock Creek. Brock Creek runs along the eastern edge of the subject property and drains into the North Canadian River. The North Canadian River is located 2.27 miles north of the subject property. The topography of the site is relatively flat and the general topographical gradient is to the southeast, toward Brock Creek. According to the Federal Emergency Management Association, the subject property and the adjacent properties to the east and south are in an area determined to be inside the 100-year floodplain of Brock Creek. A map of this information is located in Appendix C. 3.11.2 Soil Characterization The subject property is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Oklahoma County. Oklahoma County is in the Interior Lowlands physiographic region, the Central Lowland physiographic province, and the Osage Plain physiographic subprovince. The subject property is located in the OK094 Kirkland-Renfrow- Zaneis (Kirkland-Urban Land-Renthin) soil map unit. The Kirkland-Renfrow- Zaneis soil map unit is characterized by areas of very deep and deep, well drained, clayey soils and areas of urban land; on prairie uplands. The subject property is located in an urban area. Urban land soils in this soil map unit tend to have 1 to 5 percent slopes and various soil textures that are covered by streets, parking lots, buildings, and other structures. Urban land soils are not typically suited for cropland due to urban encroachment. Kirkland-Renfrow-Zaneis soils are poorly suited for urban development, since they have a high shrink-swell potential, very slow permeability, high corrosivity to steel, hazard of erosion, and clayey subsoil (USDA, 2003). 3.11.3 Subsurface Geological Characterization Surface geology of Oklahoma County typically consists of outcroppings of reddish brown sandstone and shales of Permian age (USDA, 2003). This formation is known as the Bison Formation and consists of mostly red-brown shale; grades northward into many thin greenish-gray calcitic siltstones and some orange-brown fine-grained sandstones and siltstones. The Reeding Sandstone Bed is at the base of the Bison Formation (Bingham, 1975). Permian sandstones are major freshwater aquifers within Oklahoma. The outcropping Permian strata overlie older sedimentary rocks that are important petroleum reservoirs in many parts of Oklahoma. Subsurface rock units in the southwestern portion of the county (where the subject property is located) tend to be 13,000 feet thick. These strata rest on granite and other igneous or metamorphic rocks that extend 20 to 25 miles down to the Earth’s crust (USDA, 2003). Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 15 3.11.4 Groundwater Characteristics Groundwater in this area is stored in terrace deposits. Water from most of the terrace deposits contains less than 500 mg/l dissolved solids; the water is of the calcium bicarbonate type and is generally suitable for irrigation purposes (Bingham, 1975). The Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) Reported Well Log Viewer was utilized to make a map of groundwater and monitoring wells within a 1 mile radius of the subject property. The closest monitor wells to the subject property are located 0.22 miles west and were used for site assessment purposes. There are also some monitor wells located 0.29 miles southeast of the subject property, these wells were used for site assessment. The closest groundwater well is 0.82 miles northwest of the subject property. For a list and map of wells that are within 1 mile of the subject property, see Appendix C. 3.11.5 Air Characteristics No permitted air facilities are located on the subject property or adjoining properties. No odors were noticed at the subject property during the site visit. Meth houses have been reported nearby. One of the meth houses recently caught fire. Therefore, there is a potential for air emissions associated with chemicals burning in the house. The illegal manufacture of methamphetamine releases hazardous chemicals into the air. It is unlikely that the property has been impacted by these airborne chemicals. The closest facility on the DEQ Air Emissions Inventory is located at 4401 S Western about 0.98 miles northeast of the subject property (DEQ, 2010). The facility is Southwest Medical Center and appears to be permit exempt. In 2008 and 2009, Southwest Medical Center emitted carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, PM-10, PM-2.5, sulfur oxides, volatile organics, and ethylene oxide. For emission amounts and associated email from Holly Taber in the DEQ Air Quality Division see Appendix C. 4.0 RECORDS REVIEW A regulatory database search was conducted by the DEQ. This search included, at a minimum, those records and distances from the site dictated as appropriate in the ASTM standard. The DEQ performed a review of available federal and state databases to assess whether the subject property or proximate properties were listed as having environmental concerns, which could have an adverse impact on the subject property. The following provides a summary of the databases reviewed. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 16 4.1 Federal National Priorities List (NPL) The EPA database was searched for NPL sites near the subject property within the ASTM’s recommended search radius of one mile. The subject property is not a listed NPL site. There are no NPL sites reported within a one-mile radius of the subject property. There is also an EPA database for Delisted NPL sites, which ASTM requires to be reported within ½ mile of the subject property. No delisted NPL sites are within the ½ mile search radius. 4.2 Federal CERCLIS List The EPA database for Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Information System was searched for active and archived CERCLIS sites on and near the subject property. The ASTM’s recommended search radius of the subject property for both active and archived CERCLIS sites is ½ mile. No active or archived CERCLIS sites were found within ½ mile of the subject property. The closest archived CERCLIS site is located 2.06 miles north of the subject property. It is the Union Carbide Corporation located at 1700 S Agnew Avenue Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73108. This site did not qualify for the national priorities list. A preliminary assessment was performed on the site in 1980 by the EPA. 4.3 Federal RCRA CORRACTs List The EPA database for RCRA facilities subject to corrective action was searched within the ASTM’s required minimum distance of one mile of the subject property. No RCRA CORRACT facilities are within the one-mile radius of the subject property. 4.4 Federal RCRA non-CORRACTS TSD List The EPA database for RCRA facilities not subject to corrective action was searched within the ASTM’s required minimum distance of ½ mile of the subject property. No RCRA non-CORRACT Treatment, Storage and Disposal sites are within the ½ mile radius of the subject property. 4.5 Federal RCRA Generators List The EPA RCRA Notifiers database and DEQ Oklahoma Notifiers database were searched for RCRA generators within the ASTM’s required minimum search distance of the subject property. The minimum distance is the property and adjoining properties. The subject property did not have any RCRA notifiers or generators. However, there was one facility found near the subject property. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 17 Capital Hill Typewriter located at 4301 S Penn in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This facility is listed as never generating hazardous waste (see EPA Facility Location Information (RCRA Info) map in Appendix C). 4.6 Federal ERNS List Emergency Response Notification system maintained by the National Response Center was searched for any hazardous substance releases or spills within the subject property. ASTM requires a minimum search distance of property only when identifying ERNS cases.

Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 22 5.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND INTERVIEWS 5.1 Methodology and Limiting Conditions A site reconnaissance of the subject property located on the southeast corner of South Youngs Boulevard and Southwest 44th Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma was performed on November 2, 2010. Beatriz Santamaria and Dustin Davidson of the DEQ met Sergeant Kevin Coffman at the armory. Sergeant Coffman has worked at the armory for 14 months. Sergeant Coffman introduced Santamaria and Davidson to the site and answered questions to the best of his knowledge. Sergeant Coffman lead Santamaria and Davidson inside the building and gave his knowledge of what the building was used for and what kinds of activities occurred there in the past. All areas of the building were observed noting any environmental conditions that might need additional investigation. The outside area of the property was walked entirely for observations that might need additional investigation as well. 5.2 General Site Conditions The former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory is composed of approximately five acres consisting of land with an armory building and parking lots surrounding the south, east, and west sides of the building. The building is currently being vacated by the Oklahoma National Guard. Southwest 44th Street bounds the subject property to the north, Brock Creek bounds the subject property to the east, south Youngs Boulevard to the west, and Young’s Park to the south. The following are general site conditions that were looked for on the property. Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) The subject property does not have any ASTs. No ASTs were found on the adjacent properties during the site reconnaissance. Landfills and/or Dumping No landfills, dumping, or disturbed soil was found on the property. Impoundments No impoundments were observed at the subject property. Stormwater runoff drains into a storm drain system, which bounds the property to the east. Monitoring Wells No monitoring wells are present on the property. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 23 Disturbed and Stained Soils No disturbed and/or stained soils were observed at the subject property. There was no stressed vegetation of concern either. Seeps No seeps of any kind were observed at the subject property. Chemical Spills No chemical spills were observed at the subject property. Seargent Coffman reported that several of the nearby houses are meth labs and one of these houses caught fire recently. Farm Waste No farm waste was observed at the subject property. Known Pesticide Misapplication No known pesticide misapplications were detected during the site visit or from the historical research. Discharges and Runoff from Adjacent Property Affecting the Site No discharges and/or runoff were observed from any of the adjacent properties that would affect the subject property. Petroleum Products No petroleum products were observed on the subject property during the site visit. However, there is an area of oil and/or gas development on the adjacent property to the south. Asbestos It is unknown if the building contains asbestos; however due to the age of the building, there is a potential for asbestos containing materials to be present in the building. DEQ is performing additional assessments of the building to identify whether asbestos is present. Lead Sergeant Coffman did not know if there was an indoor firing range in the armory in the past. The questionnaire provided by the Oklahoma Military Department (OMD) indicates that there was an IFR in the armory on or before 1997 and that lead sampling Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 24 was performed on the IFR in 1991. A news article published in the Oklahoman on December 25, 1962 indicates that preliminary plans for the armory included a large, rectangular drill hall incorporating a rifle range and doubling as a recreation hall and athletic gymnasium (Appendix A). Dustin Davidson and Beatriz Santamaria observed the drill floor on the subject property and noted that the north end of the drill floor had a long, rectangular strip of newer concrete that ran the width of the drill floor. Davidson and Santamaria also noticed pole holes evenly spaced behind the rectangular strip of concrete. Sergeant Coffman indicated that the pole holes looked like holes for target posts. No vent fans were observed on the exterior of the building. Due to the evidence that the entire drill floor may have been used as an IFR, there is a potential for lead dust in the building. Also, due to the age of the building there is a potential for lead-based paint in the building. DEQ is performing additional assessments to determine if lead is present in the armory. Transformers/PCB Equipment No transformers were observed on the subject property. Drop ceilings with modern white fluorescent fixture were observed throughout the building. However, a new drop ceiling has been installed and it is unknown if older fluorescent light fixtures exist above the drop ceiling, older fluorescent fixtures may contain PCBs in their ballasts. 5.3 External Observations The external observations showed no recognized environmental conditions. The area is composed of paved parking lots on the east, west, and south sides of the armory building and grassy areas in between the building and the parking lots and southwest 44th Street. Brock Creek bounds the subject property to the east. Photographs of the external view of the site can be found in Appendix D. 5.4 Internal Observations The building is currently being vacated by the Oklahoma Army National Guard. Most rooms are vacant, but some military equipment remains onsite. According to Sergeant Coffman, the building will be completely vacant by December 15, 2010. Most of the rooms were used as offices. The drill floor had a long rectangular concrete strip that ran the width of the northern end of the drill floor. See Section 5.2 for more detail on the concrete strip and possible IFR. Photographs of the internal view of the site can be found in Appendix D. 5.5 Interviews A news article published in the Oklahoman on December 25, 1962 indicates that preliminary plans for the armory included a large, rectangular drill hall incorporating a rifle range and doubling as a recreation hall and athletic gymnasium (Appendix A). John Gibson at OMD was briefly interviewed by Heather Mallory with the Oklahoma Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 25 Department of Environmental Quality on September 23, 2010. Mr. Gibson was asked if the armory had an IFR. Mr. Gibson indicated that OMD did not observe an IFR during their recent tour of the armory. However, OMD did observe an area at the north end of the drill hall that had new concrete and new paint. Mr. Gibson said that the area of new concrete and paint was a long, rectangular strip that was flush with the floor. Mr. Gibson also provided a copy of a questionnaire that was filled about the armory in 1997. This questionnaire indicated that the armory did have an IFR either past or present and that lead testing had been performed on the IFR in 1991. No lead testing results were provided. See Appendix C for a copy of the questionnaire. The questionnaire also listed the following information (Appendix C): • Regular and unleaded gasoline was stored onsite in 5 gallon containers for yard work • 1,1,1-Trichloroethane was used for cleaning weapon parts • The armory generated ½ pound of rags and patches associated with rifle cleaning • Dry cleaning solvent and carburetor cleaner were used onsite • Latex paint and primer was stored onsite • Paint thinner was stored onsite • A small amount of rodenticide was stored onsite • Motor oil and antifreeze were stored onsite • Nickel cadmium and/or alkaline batteries were stored onsite • Magnesium batteries were stored onsite • The facility was considered a conditionally exempt small quantity generator • Stormwater run-off from the parking areas emptied into a storm drain system • A private contractor disposed of the trash at the facility • The flammable materials cabinet was housed in the Company C supply room and Company A storage room • The petroleum, oil, and lubricant storage was located on the southeast side of the vehicle compound On November 2, 2010, Beatriz Santamaria and Dustin Davidson performed a site reconnaissance on the subject property and interviewed Sergeant Kevin Coffman. Sergeant Coffman provided the following information. Site visit notes can be found in Appendix E. • Unsure of the types of chemicals that were used at the armory • Chemicals currently at the armory include 40 gallons of a chemical known as COP used for cleaning weapons • The property to the north is commercial, property to the east is residential and commercial, property to the south is a playground, and the property to the west is residential • Historical uses of adjacent properties are the same as above except for the playground was not present to the south until recently • Not aware of any current industrial use of properties in the area Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 26 • Meth houses are located nearby and one recently caught fire • Not aware of an IFR at the armory in the past 11 years, however it appears that one may have existed in the drill floor • There has been a huge termite problem in the north hall of the building in the past few months. However, no information was available regarding the use of chemical treatment for the removal of termites. • There is a gas station nearby • Nearby properties observed: bowling alley, pawn shop, apartments, church, gas stations, restaurants, veterinary clinic • Not aware of any discarded auto/industrial batteries, pesticides, paints, or other industrial chemicals present onsite • Not aware of any drums or storage tanks in the area • Not aware of any fill dirt brought onto the property • There is a drainage ditch on the east side of the armory • Not aware of any stained soil, chemical spills, or groundwater seeps • Not aware of any oil and gas exploration in the area • Not aware of any groundwater or surface water contamination at the subject property • The armory has not been flooded • Not aware of any vent pipes or fill pipes protruding from the ground now or in the past • Not aware of any USTs onsite in the past or present • Not aware of any unusual odors coming from the soil, structures, or drains in the area • Not aware of any wells in the area or nearby • Not aware of any environmental lawsuits, liens, or violations nearby • Not aware of any wastewater discharges in the area • Not aware of any transformers in the area • There is no radiation signage in the building • No water impoundments are present onsite • No above ground storage tanks have been used on the subject property past or present • Not aware of any hazardous air emissions on the property or nearby • The armory contents will be moved to a new location following Thanksgiving and will most likely be moved out by December 15, 2010 6.0 FINDINGS Summarized below are the major findings from this Targeted Brownfield Assessment and DEQ’s recommendations. The major findings of the highest environmental concern are presented first. • The following RECs were identified, former IFR and possible buried sand trap in the drill floor were found at the subject property during the site reconnaissance performed on November 2, 2010. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 27 • Due to the age of the building, there is a potential for asbestos and lead-based paint at the subject property. There is also a potential for lead dust in the building due to weapons fire and cleaning. • Meth houses have been reported nearby. One of the meth houses recently caught fire, therefore this is considered a REC due to the potential air emissions associated with chemicals burning. • The subject property is composed of 5 acres of land. The armory building is surrounded by grassy areas on all sides and by paved parking areas on the east, west, and south sides. The vehicle compound is located on the east side and is bordered by Brock Creek. • Adjoining properties in the area are commercial, residential, and recreational in nature. To the north are a bowling alley, restaurants, apartments, and a gas station. To the east are Young’s Park, a residential area, and some commercial properties including a dry cleaner. To the south is Young’s Park. To the west is a residential area. According to Sergeant Kevin Coffman, several of the houses nearby are meth houses and one recently caught fire. • The aerial photographs from 1995 to 2010 show an area of oil and gas development to the south of the armory building, south of Brock Creek. Several oil and/or gas tanks are observed in these photographs. The OCC Oil and Gas Well database shows four well listed for Young’s Park. The OCC oil and gas database indicates that oil exploration was attempted in the past, however all of these wells have been abandoned or plugged. Since this area of oil and gas development is located on an adjacent property, it is considered a REC. One gas well is currently operating onsite. Three oil or gas wells are listed as being near the subject property. These do not appear to be located on adjacent properties. One of these wells has been plugged and the other two are listed as active and probably producing. • The Sanborn map from 1922-1955 for the Oklahoma City area showed the subject property as Brock Park. No armory building is shown in the Sanborn map. Adjacent properties to the north, south, east, and west are all residential. No other Sanborn maps for the subject properties could be found. • The Polk City Directories from 1955 to 1970 were viewed at the Oklahoma City Downtown Metropolitan Library for the subject property only. Two addresses were found for the National Guard Armory. It appears that both addresses pertain to the armory. One of the addresses, 2222 SW 44th Street, corresponds to the current address of the armory and is listed as the National Guard Meeting Room in the 1970 directory. Prior to 1970, 2222 SW 44th Street was not listed in the city directories. The other address, 2140 SW 44th Street, is listed as the National Guard Armory in the 1970 directory. The 2140 SW 44th Street address was listed as vacant in 1958 and 1966, as Harmon AJ Plumbing and Heating Contractors from 1959 to 1964, and Security Fence Construction in 1965. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 28 • No NPL or delisted NPL sites, active CERCLIS site listings, RCRA CORRACTS and non-CORRACTS Treatment, Storage, or Disposal listings, ERNS list, State-equivalent NPL or CERCLIS lists, or State landfills and/or solid waste disposal sites were found on the subject property or within the ASTM recommended search radii. No archived CERCLIS site listings, RCRA generators, or VCP sites were found on the subject property. No Brownfield sites were found on the subject property either. The armory building on the subject property is being investigated for potential lead-based paint, lead dust, and asbestos. If any of these materials are found, the DEQ Site Cleanup Assistance Program (SCAP) will address them during cleanup of the armory. • Five confirmed LUST cases and one unconfirmed LUST case were reported in the OCC’s UST database within the ½ mile radius of the subject property. No LUST cases were reported on the subject property. Some of the LUST cases are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • No registered UST’s were found on the subject property. However, 28 registered USTs were found within ½ mile of the subject property. None of the adjacent properties contained registered USTs. Some of the USTs are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • The property owner and representatives of the property were also not aware of any ICs or ECs on the property. No ICs or ECs were found in the Oklahoma County Courthouse. 7.0 OPINION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Due to the potential for asbestos and lead-based paint in the armory building and the possible indoor firing range and buried firing range sand, the environmental professionals working on this site believe that additional assessment is warranted. Several findings mentioned in Section 6.0 of this Phase I TBA report support this opinion. The DEQ feels there is a low potential of impact from the LUST cases due to the distance they are located from the site. None of these LUST cases were found on the adjoining properties either. The UST sites located nearby to the southeast are upgradient according to the topographical map, however there is a low potential of impact from the USTs due to their proximity to the subject property. The DEQ feels there is a low potential of impact to the site from the LUST and UST sites. The meth houses located nearby are believed to pose a low impact to the subject property, because no dumping of chemicals from these houses has been observed or reported by personnel at the armory. One of the meth houses recently caught fire. Therefore there is a potential for air emissions associated with this event. The DEQ feels that there is a low potential of impact from this incident. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 29 8.0 DATA GAPS No tribal information was obtained for this assessment. No tax records or zoning records were reviewed for this report. The Limited Environmental Baseline Assessment (LEBA) had not been completed by the Oklahoma Military Department (OMD) at the time this TBA was conducted. There is a gap in knowledge of what the OMD says was used on site as shown by the interview responses. However, this did not affect the ability of the DEQ to make a recommendation on the subject property. Serious environmental contaminants were used on site with no specific information about use available. 9.0 CONCLUSIONS The DEQ has performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E 1527-05 of the former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory located at 2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section [10.0] of this report. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized conditions in connection with the former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory property. However, the following RECs exist on site: one former injection well, two former oil wells, and one currently producing gas well found in the OCC database that are near the subject property; the potential of asbestos, lead dust, and lead-based paint in the armory building; the potential indoor firing range and buried firing range sand trap located in the drill floor of the armory building; and meth labs located nearby, one that recently burned. The information provided in this assessment is to assist the City of Oklahoma City in its revitalization planning as well as meet the All Appropriate Inquiry requirement of the landowner liability protections under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, better known as Superfund – Ref. 2), as provided in the Small Business Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-118, Subtitle B – Ref. 3). 10.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES No additional services were provided in this Phase I Targeted Brownfield Assessment. However, sampling and analysis of asbestos, lead paint and lead dust is ongoing and results will be provided. 11.0 DEVIATIONS No deviations and deletions from E 1527-05 were made for this Phase I Targeted Brownfield Assessment. 12.0 REFERENCES 1.

Full text | TARGETED BROWNFIELD ASSESSMENT For Oklahoma Army National Guard Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma ASTM E 1527-05 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment All Appropriate Inquiry Prepared by: December 16, 2010 Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 3 Background and Disclaimer: The purpose of an environmental site assessment is to identify actual or potential “recognized environmental conditions” that may result in liability or land use restrictions. The ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment E 1527 – 05 is the minimum standard for environmental due diligence in the commercial real estate industry and meets the standard for All Appropriate Inquiry under the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002. A diligent effort in accordance with generally accepted good commercial and customary standards and practices was undertaken to identify the “recognized environmental conditions” that might affect the redevelopment project. However, the identification of old hazardous waste sites is an evolving process; therefore, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) cannot state with absolute certainty that no other potential hazardous waste sites are located in the area. In no event shall the DEQ or its employees be liable for any damages, injury, loss, cost or expense whatsoever arising in connection with the use or reliance on the information contained in this report, except as otherwise provided by law.

Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 6 1.0 Executive Summary On November 2, 2010, Beatriz Santamaria and Dustin Davidson of the DEQ performed a site reconnaissance of the former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory that is located at the southeast corner of Southwest 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. All other research on the Targeted Brownfield Assessment (TBA) was performed by Heather Mallory with the DEQ. The subject property is in a section of town characterized by residential areas, commercial development, and a city park. The purpose of the TBA was to identify potential environmental concerns by reviewing historical data, regulatory information, and by performing a visual inspection of the site and surrounding area. The following is an executive summary of the environmental site assessment results: • Recognized environmental conditions (RECs) on site are the possible indoor firing range (IFR) and possible buried sand trap in the drill floor. • Due to the age of the building, there is a potential for asbestos and lead-based paint at the subject property. There is also a potential for lead dust in the building due to weapons fire and cleaning. • Meth houses have been reported nearby. One of the meth houses recently caught fire, therefore, this is considered a REC due to the potential air emissions associated with chemicals burning. • The subject property is composed of 5 acres of land. The armory building is surrounded by grassy areas on all sides and by paved parking areas on the east, west, and south sides. The vehicle compound is located on the east side and is bordered by Brock Creek. • Adjoining properties in the area are commercial, residential, and recreational in nature. To the north are a bowling alley, restaurants, apartments, and a gas station. To the east are Young’s Park, a residential area, and some commercial properties. To the south is Young’s Park. To the west is a residential area. According to Sergeant Kevin Coffman, several of the houses nearby are meth houses and one recently caught fire. • The aerial photographs from 1995 to 2010 show an area of oil and gas development to the south of the armory building, south of Brock Creek. Several oil and/or gas tanks are observed in these photographs. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s (OCC) Oil and Gas Well database shows four wells listed for Young’s Park. The OCC oil and gas database indicates that oil exploration was attempted in the past. However all of these wells have been abandoned or plugged. Since this area of oil and gas development is located on an adjacent property, it is considered a REC. One gas well is currently operating onsite. Three oil or gas wells are listed as being near the subject property. These do not appear to be located on adjacent properties. One of these wells has been plugged and the other two are listed as active and probably producing. • The Sanborn map from 1922-1955 for the Oklahoma City area showed the subject property as Brock Park. No armory building is shown in the Sanborn map. Adjacent Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 7 properties to the north, south, east, and west are all residential. No other Sanborn maps for the subject properties were viewed for this assessment. • The Polk City Directories from 1955 to 1970 were viewed at the Oklahoma City Downtown Metropolitan Library for the subject property only. Two addresses were found for the National Guard Armory. It appears that both addresses pertain to the armory. One of the addresses, 2222 SW 44th Street, corresponds to the current address of the armory and is listed as the National Guard Meeting Room in the 1970 directory. Prior to 1970, 2222 SW 44th Street was not listed in the city directories. The other address, 2140 SW 44th Street, is listed as the National Guard Armory in the 1970 directory. The 2140 SW 44th Street address was listed as vacant in 1958 and 1966, as Harmon AJ Plumbing and Heating Contractors from 1959 to 1964, and Security Fence Construction in 1965. • No National Priorities List (NPL) or delisted NPL sites, active Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) site listings, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action (CORRACTS) and non-CORRACTS Treatment, Storage, or Disposal (TSD) listings, Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) list, State-equivalent NPL or CERCLIS lists, or State landfills and/or solid waste disposal sites were found on the subject property or within the ASTM recommended search radii. No archived CERCLIS site listings, RCRA generators, or Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) sites were found on the subject property. No Brownfield sites were found on the subject property either. The armory building on the subject property is being investigated for potential lead-based paint, lead dust, and asbestos. If any of these materials are found, the DEQ Site Cleanup Assistance Program (SCAP) will address them during cleanup of the building. • Five confirmed Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) cases and one unconfirmed LUST case were reported in the OCC’s Underground Storage Tank (UST) database within the ½ mile radius of the subject property. No LUST cases were reported on the subject property. Some of the LUST cases are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • No registered UST’s were found on the subject property. However, 28 registered USTs were found within ½ mile of the subject property. None of the adjacent properties contained registered USTs. Some of the USTs are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • The property owner and representatives of the property were not aware of any Institutional Controls (ICs) or Engineering Controls (ECs) on the property. No ICs or ECs were found in the Oklahoma County Courthouse records. 2.0 INTRODUCTION The State of Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) under a Brownfield Assistance Agreement (No. RP976412010) (Ref. 1) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 8 Agency (EPA) conducted a Targeted Brownfield Assessment of a property on the southeast corner of SW 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard (2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). 2.1 Purpose The purpose of this assessment is to look at the environmental conditions within the target area and provide this information to the City of Oklahoma City to assist in its revitalization planning as well as meet the All Appropriate Inquiry requirement of the landowner liability protections under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, better known as Superfund – Ref. 2), as provided in the Small Business Relief and Brownfield’s Revitalization Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-118, Subtitle B – Ref. 3). The purpose of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is to identify, to the extent feasible, recognized environmental conditions in connection with the target property through a systematic review of readily available information sources and a site reconnaissance. The DEQ is providing technical assistance to the project by evaluating the environmental condition of the property prior to the City acquiring the property. Funding for this assessment has been provided by the EPA. 2.2 Detailed Scope-of-Services The DEQ examined the current use of the property and then identified the historical uses of the property to determine if recognized environmental conditions exist. The DEQ examined historical documents, governmental databases, oil and gas records, aerial photographs, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, and conducted interviews, and performed a site reconnaissance of the area. A good faith effort was made to identify possible environmental conditions that might affect the development of the property. 2.3 Significant Assumptions Significant assumptions of the subject property from the history and knowledge of the subject property indicate that the drill floor may have been used as an indoor firing range and that weapons were cleaned onsite. 2.4 Limitations and Exceptions The purpose of an environmental site assessment is to identify actual or potential “recognized environmental conditions” that may result in liability, land use restrictions, or cause delays in revitalization. The ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment E 1527 – 05 (Ref. 4) is the minimum standard for environmental due diligence in the commercial real estate industry and meets the standard for All Appropriate Inquiry under the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002. A diligent effort in accordance with generally accepted good commercial and customary standards and practices was undertaken to identify the “recognized environmental Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 9 conditions” that might affect the revitalization project. However, the identification of old hazardous waste sites is an evolving process; therefore, DEQ cannot state with absolute certainty that no other potential hazardous waste sites are located in the area. This assessment was conducted under constraints of time, cost, and scope and reflects a limited investigation and evaluation. It reflects the normal degree of care and skill that is ordinarily exercised by environmental professionals conducting business in this or similar localities. In no event shall the DEQ or its employees be liable for any damages, injury, loss, cost or expense whatsoever arising in connection with the use or reliance on the information contained in this report, except as otherwise provided by law. The information in this report is based on a review of governmental records, interviews with knowledgeable representatives of the property, information provided by the Oklahoma Military Department, and observations of the environmental professional. The result of this assessment, as written in this report, is valid as of the date of report. The assessment does not include sampling of rock, groundwater, surface water, or air. 2.5 Special Terms and Conditions This assessment report has been prepared for the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by the DEQ using EPA funding. Information about this report will be provided to the EPA for its files. This report and the working file are public record and subject to the Oklahoma Open Records Act and the federal Freedom of Information Act. 3.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND HISTORY 3.1 Location and Legal Description The subject property is located in the southeast corner of SW 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard (2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). The subject property is located in the NW1/4, NE1/4, NE1/4 of Section 19, Township 11 North, and Range 3 West Indian Meridian. This property is described on the lease agreement as: All of block 2, including the alley therein which has never been used by the public, 45th Street between blocks 2 and 7 which has never been used by the public; and the north 13’ of lots 1 to 24 inclusive of block 7; all in Moore’s Heights Addition to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, containing five acres more or less. The land is owned by the City of Oklahoma City and leased to the State of Oklahoma on November 28, 1962 to build the National Guard armory. A deed search was performed and only the lease agreement between the City of Oklahoma City and State of Oklahoma could be found. A search of archived newspaper articles from the Daily Oklahoman was performed and several news articles were found about the armory. An article from June 14, 1963 indicates that the property was a city park before the armory was constructed (see Appendix A). A site map and topographical map of the property have been provided in Appendix B of this report. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 10 3.2 Site and Vicinity Characterization The subject property is an approximate 5 acre tract of land with an armory building built onsite. It is located in south Oklahoma City, in the southeast corner of SW 44th Street and South Youngs Boulevard (2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma). North of the subject property lies the Penn 44 Lanes bowling alley, pawn shop, bank, bridal shop, church, restaurants, and an apartment complex. Brock Creek bounds the subject property to the east. To the east of Brock Creek are residential areas, Young’s Park, restaurants, a thrift store, VFW Post, and Unique Cleaners dry cleaning downgradient to the armory. South of the subject property is Young’s Park. West of the subject property is a residential area. The areas where the subject property and adjacent properties are located are best characterized by residential and commercial development. A site vicinity map of the subject property can be found in Appendix B. A review of the topographical map indicated that the surface elevation of the site is approximately 1230 feet above mean sea level. The topographical gradient is to the southeast, toward Brock Creek. Brock Creek is located on the eastern edge of the subject property. The topographical map can be found in Appendix B. 3.3 Description of Structures, Roads, and Other Improvements The subject property consists of approximately 5 acres of land bounded by Brock Creek to the east, with a brick armory building built onsite. The northern portion of the property houses the armory building and the southern portion of the property is a city park. SW 44th Street bounds the subject property to the North and South Youngs Boulevard bounds the subject property to the west. The subject property is in an urban area and is surrounded by homes and businesses. 3.4 Owner, Property Manager, and Occupant Information The subject property was leased by the Oklahoma Army National Guard from 1961 to 2010. The subject property is currently owned by the City of Oklahoma City. See Appendix A for lease agreement. 3.5 Information Reported by User Regarding Environmental Lien or Specialized Knowledge or Experience The property owner and/or representatives reported no environmental liens on the subject property and had no specialized knowledge or experience regarding recognized environmental conditions at the site. 3.6 Commonly Known or Reasonably Ascertainable Information It is commonly known within the community that the National Guard Armory resides on the subject property. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 11 3.7 Valuation Reduction for Environmental Issues Valuation of the property is outside the scope of this assessment. A professional appraiser should be consulted to place a value on the property. 3.8 Current Use of the Property The armory building on the property is currently being vacated by the Oklahoma Army National Guard. DEQ will clean up lead and asbestos in the building and the building will be turned over to the City of Oklahoma City. A city park is located south of the subject property. The city park is not part of this Phase I Targeted Brownfields Assessment. 3.9 Past Use of the Property 3.9.1 Review of Aerial Photographs Historic aerial photographs were searched to view the changes to the property over time. The 1941 aerial photograph was found at the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. The aerial photographs from 1995, 2003, and 2008 were obtained from the DEQ database of aerial photographs. The aerial photographs from 2006 and 2010 were found on Google Earth. Aerial photographs from 1941, 1995, 2003, 2006, 2008, and 2010 were obtained. All these photographs are located in Appendix B. The following represents a summary of what was found at the subject property from each photograph. 1941 aerial photograph The 1941 aerial photograph shows the subject property to be farmland. 1995 aerial photograph The 1995 aerial photograph shows the subject property developed as the Armory. Young’s Park is shown to the south and an area of oil and gas development can be seen near a residential area. Brock Creek is shown to the east of the large building. Residential areas are shown to the east and west. Commercial areas are shown to the north. 2003 aerial photograph The 2003 aerial photograph shows some dirt work along Brock Creek on the subject property and across the street to the north. Most adjoining properties appear to be the same as in 1995. A few buildings have been added to the west of the subject property. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 2006 aerial photograph Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 12 The 2006 aerial photograph shows a concrete channel for Brock Creek that was not shown in the 2003 aerial photograph. Other then the absence of dirt work and new creek channel, the subject property did not change in appearance from the 2003 aerial photograph. Adjoining properties have not changed much either. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 2008 aerial photograph The 2008 aerial photograph shows the building to the south as being removed. It appears that a round concrete pad has been poured in place of the building. Not much has changed on the subject property other than four metal storage containers being added to the southeast corner of the armory parking lot, near Brock Creek. Adjacent properties have not changed much either. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 2010 aerial photograph The 2010 aerial photograph shows a water spray park on the round concrete slab and playground equipment located south the subject property. The subject property has not changed much form the 2008 aerial photograph. It appears that three metal storage containers are now located in the southeast corner of the armory parking lot, near Brock Creek. The only environmental condition noted from the photograph is the area of oil and gas development. 3.9.2 Fire Insurance Maps Sanborn Fire Insurance maps were viewed and downloaded from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries website. One Sanborn map of the subject property and adjoining properties was found for 1922-1955. This Sanborn map is located in Appendix C. The following represents a summary of what was found at the subject property and adjoining properties for this Sanborn map. 1922-1955 Sanborn map The 1922-1955 Volume 4, sheet 438 Sanborn shows the subject property as a city park called Brock Park during that time. No armory building is shown. Adjacent properties to the north, south, east, and west are residential. 3.10 Current and Past Uses of Adjoining Properties The adjacent properties are currently developed as follows according to Google Earth: to the south is a city park; to the north is the Penn 44 Lanes bowling alley; to the west is a residential area; to the east is a residential area, thrift store, VFW post and a dry cleaner; Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 13 to the northeast is a pawn shop, restaurant, bank, and apartments; and to the northwest is a restaurant, church, bridal shop, and residential area. The 1922-1955 Sanborn shows the subject property without an armory and indicates that the property was a city park called Brock Park during that time. Adjacent properties to the north, south, east, and west are residential. The Polk City Directories from 1955 to 1970 were viewed at the Oklahoma City Downtown Metropolitan Library for the subject property only. Two addresses were found for the National Guard Armory. It appears that both addresses pertain to the armory. One of the addresses, 2222 SW 44th Street, corresponds to the current address of the armory and is listed as the National Guard Meeting Room in the 1970 directory. The other address, 2140 SW 44th Street, is listed as the National Guard Armory in the 1970 directory. The following table summarizes the information found in the directories.

These sources include: The United States Department of Agriculture Oklahoma County Soil Survey, Oklahoma Geological Survey, and the Federal Emergency Management Association. Review of the physical setting of the area is to evaluate the sensitivity of the hydrogeology to potential contamination from sources either on or near the site Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 14 3.11.1 Surface Water Characteristics According to the DEQ Dataviewer, the nearest water body is Brock Creek. Brock Creek runs along the eastern edge of the subject property and drains into the North Canadian River. The North Canadian River is located 2.27 miles north of the subject property. The topography of the site is relatively flat and the general topographical gradient is to the southeast, toward Brock Creek. According to the Federal Emergency Management Association, the subject property and the adjacent properties to the east and south are in an area determined to be inside the 100-year floodplain of Brock Creek. A map of this information is located in Appendix C. 3.11.2 Soil Characterization The subject property is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Oklahoma County. Oklahoma County is in the Interior Lowlands physiographic region, the Central Lowland physiographic province, and the Osage Plain physiographic subprovince. The subject property is located in the OK094 Kirkland-Renfrow- Zaneis (Kirkland-Urban Land-Renthin) soil map unit. The Kirkland-Renfrow- Zaneis soil map unit is characterized by areas of very deep and deep, well drained, clayey soils and areas of urban land; on prairie uplands. The subject property is located in an urban area. Urban land soils in this soil map unit tend to have 1 to 5 percent slopes and various soil textures that are covered by streets, parking lots, buildings, and other structures. Urban land soils are not typically suited for cropland due to urban encroachment. Kirkland-Renfrow-Zaneis soils are poorly suited for urban development, since they have a high shrink-swell potential, very slow permeability, high corrosivity to steel, hazard of erosion, and clayey subsoil (USDA, 2003). 3.11.3 Subsurface Geological Characterization Surface geology of Oklahoma County typically consists of outcroppings of reddish brown sandstone and shales of Permian age (USDA, 2003). This formation is known as the Bison Formation and consists of mostly red-brown shale; grades northward into many thin greenish-gray calcitic siltstones and some orange-brown fine-grained sandstones and siltstones. The Reeding Sandstone Bed is at the base of the Bison Formation (Bingham, 1975). Permian sandstones are major freshwater aquifers within Oklahoma. The outcropping Permian strata overlie older sedimentary rocks that are important petroleum reservoirs in many parts of Oklahoma. Subsurface rock units in the southwestern portion of the county (where the subject property is located) tend to be 13,000 feet thick. These strata rest on granite and other igneous or metamorphic rocks that extend 20 to 25 miles down to the Earth’s crust (USDA, 2003). Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 15 3.11.4 Groundwater Characteristics Groundwater in this area is stored in terrace deposits. Water from most of the terrace deposits contains less than 500 mg/l dissolved solids; the water is of the calcium bicarbonate type and is generally suitable for irrigation purposes (Bingham, 1975). The Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) Reported Well Log Viewer was utilized to make a map of groundwater and monitoring wells within a 1 mile radius of the subject property. The closest monitor wells to the subject property are located 0.22 miles west and were used for site assessment purposes. There are also some monitor wells located 0.29 miles southeast of the subject property, these wells were used for site assessment. The closest groundwater well is 0.82 miles northwest of the subject property. For a list and map of wells that are within 1 mile of the subject property, see Appendix C. 3.11.5 Air Characteristics No permitted air facilities are located on the subject property or adjoining properties. No odors were noticed at the subject property during the site visit. Meth houses have been reported nearby. One of the meth houses recently caught fire. Therefore, there is a potential for air emissions associated with chemicals burning in the house. The illegal manufacture of methamphetamine releases hazardous chemicals into the air. It is unlikely that the property has been impacted by these airborne chemicals. The closest facility on the DEQ Air Emissions Inventory is located at 4401 S Western about 0.98 miles northeast of the subject property (DEQ, 2010). The facility is Southwest Medical Center and appears to be permit exempt. In 2008 and 2009, Southwest Medical Center emitted carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, PM-10, PM-2.5, sulfur oxides, volatile organics, and ethylene oxide. For emission amounts and associated email from Holly Taber in the DEQ Air Quality Division see Appendix C. 4.0 RECORDS REVIEW A regulatory database search was conducted by the DEQ. This search included, at a minimum, those records and distances from the site dictated as appropriate in the ASTM standard. The DEQ performed a review of available federal and state databases to assess whether the subject property or proximate properties were listed as having environmental concerns, which could have an adverse impact on the subject property. The following provides a summary of the databases reviewed. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 16 4.1 Federal National Priorities List (NPL) The EPA database was searched for NPL sites near the subject property within the ASTM’s recommended search radius of one mile. The subject property is not a listed NPL site. There are no NPL sites reported within a one-mile radius of the subject property. There is also an EPA database for Delisted NPL sites, which ASTM requires to be reported within ½ mile of the subject property. No delisted NPL sites are within the ½ mile search radius. 4.2 Federal CERCLIS List The EPA database for Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Information System was searched for active and archived CERCLIS sites on and near the subject property. The ASTM’s recommended search radius of the subject property for both active and archived CERCLIS sites is ½ mile. No active or archived CERCLIS sites were found within ½ mile of the subject property. The closest archived CERCLIS site is located 2.06 miles north of the subject property. It is the Union Carbide Corporation located at 1700 S Agnew Avenue Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73108. This site did not qualify for the national priorities list. A preliminary assessment was performed on the site in 1980 by the EPA. 4.3 Federal RCRA CORRACTs List The EPA database for RCRA facilities subject to corrective action was searched within the ASTM’s required minimum distance of one mile of the subject property. No RCRA CORRACT facilities are within the one-mile radius of the subject property. 4.4 Federal RCRA non-CORRACTS TSD List The EPA database for RCRA facilities not subject to corrective action was searched within the ASTM’s required minimum distance of ½ mile of the subject property. No RCRA non-CORRACT Treatment, Storage and Disposal sites are within the ½ mile radius of the subject property. 4.5 Federal RCRA Generators List The EPA RCRA Notifiers database and DEQ Oklahoma Notifiers database were searched for RCRA generators within the ASTM’s required minimum search distance of the subject property. The minimum distance is the property and adjoining properties. The subject property did not have any RCRA notifiers or generators. However, there was one facility found near the subject property. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 17 Capital Hill Typewriter located at 4301 S Penn in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This facility is listed as never generating hazardous waste (see EPA Facility Location Information (RCRA Info) map in Appendix C). 4.6 Federal ERNS List Emergency Response Notification system maintained by the National Response Center was searched for any hazardous substance releases or spills within the subject property. ASTM requires a minimum search distance of property only when identifying ERNS cases. No ERNS sites were reported within the property or the adjoining properties. 4.7 Federal Institutional Control/Engineering Control Registries Institutional Control/Engineering Control registries are under development but not available at this time. There are no known Institutional Controls/Engineering Controls on the subject property from speaking to the owner and representatives of the subject property. 4.8 State-Equivalent NPL The DEQ does not have a State-equivalent NPL database. Oklahoma does not have a State Superfund law to establish a State-equivalent NPL database. 4.9 State-Equivalent CERCLIS The DEQ does not have a State-equivalent CERCLIS database. 4.10 State Landfill and / or Solid Waste Disposal Sites The DEQ regulates landfills and solid waste disposal sites across the State of Oklahoma. State landfills and solid waste disposal facilities were searched in the DEQ database within the ASTM required minimum distance ½ mile from the subject property. No permitted landfills or solid waste disposal facilities are located within the search distance of the subject property (see 1 mile radius map in Appendix C). 4.11 State Leaking UST List The OCC UST Notification Database was searched to locate any known LUST sites located within the ASTM’s minimum search distance of a ½ mile of the subject property. Five confirmed LUST sites and one unconfirmed LUST site were found within the ½ mile radius. The following sites are listed and described below.

Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 22 5.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND INTERVIEWS 5.1 Methodology and Limiting Conditions A site reconnaissance of the subject property located on the southeast corner of South Youngs Boulevard and Southwest 44th Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma was performed on November 2, 2010. Beatriz Santamaria and Dustin Davidson of the DEQ met Sergeant Kevin Coffman at the armory. Sergeant Coffman has worked at the armory for 14 months. Sergeant Coffman introduced Santamaria and Davidson to the site and answered questions to the best of his knowledge. Sergeant Coffman lead Santamaria and Davidson inside the building and gave his knowledge of what the building was used for and what kinds of activities occurred there in the past. All areas of the building were observed noting any environmental conditions that might need additional investigation. The outside area of the property was walked entirely for observations that might need additional investigation as well. 5.2 General Site Conditions The former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory is composed of approximately five acres consisting of land with an armory building and parking lots surrounding the south, east, and west sides of the building. The building is currently being vacated by the Oklahoma National Guard. Southwest 44th Street bounds the subject property to the north, Brock Creek bounds the subject property to the east, south Youngs Boulevard to the west, and Young’s Park to the south. The following are general site conditions that were looked for on the property. Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) The subject property does not have any ASTs. No ASTs were found on the adjacent properties during the site reconnaissance. Landfills and/or Dumping No landfills, dumping, or disturbed soil was found on the property. Impoundments No impoundments were observed at the subject property. Stormwater runoff drains into a storm drain system, which bounds the property to the east. Monitoring Wells No monitoring wells are present on the property. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 23 Disturbed and Stained Soils No disturbed and/or stained soils were observed at the subject property. There was no stressed vegetation of concern either. Seeps No seeps of any kind were observed at the subject property. Chemical Spills No chemical spills were observed at the subject property. Seargent Coffman reported that several of the nearby houses are meth labs and one of these houses caught fire recently. Farm Waste No farm waste was observed at the subject property. Known Pesticide Misapplication No known pesticide misapplications were detected during the site visit or from the historical research. Discharges and Runoff from Adjacent Property Affecting the Site No discharges and/or runoff were observed from any of the adjacent properties that would affect the subject property. Petroleum Products No petroleum products were observed on the subject property during the site visit. However, there is an area of oil and/or gas development on the adjacent property to the south. Asbestos It is unknown if the building contains asbestos; however due to the age of the building, there is a potential for asbestos containing materials to be present in the building. DEQ is performing additional assessments of the building to identify whether asbestos is present. Lead Sergeant Coffman did not know if there was an indoor firing range in the armory in the past. The questionnaire provided by the Oklahoma Military Department (OMD) indicates that there was an IFR in the armory on or before 1997 and that lead sampling Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 24 was performed on the IFR in 1991. A news article published in the Oklahoman on December 25, 1962 indicates that preliminary plans for the armory included a large, rectangular drill hall incorporating a rifle range and doubling as a recreation hall and athletic gymnasium (Appendix A). Dustin Davidson and Beatriz Santamaria observed the drill floor on the subject property and noted that the north end of the drill floor had a long, rectangular strip of newer concrete that ran the width of the drill floor. Davidson and Santamaria also noticed pole holes evenly spaced behind the rectangular strip of concrete. Sergeant Coffman indicated that the pole holes looked like holes for target posts. No vent fans were observed on the exterior of the building. Due to the evidence that the entire drill floor may have been used as an IFR, there is a potential for lead dust in the building. Also, due to the age of the building there is a potential for lead-based paint in the building. DEQ is performing additional assessments to determine if lead is present in the armory. Transformers/PCB Equipment No transformers were observed on the subject property. Drop ceilings with modern white fluorescent fixture were observed throughout the building. However, a new drop ceiling has been installed and it is unknown if older fluorescent light fixtures exist above the drop ceiling, older fluorescent fixtures may contain PCBs in their ballasts. 5.3 External Observations The external observations showed no recognized environmental conditions. The area is composed of paved parking lots on the east, west, and south sides of the armory building and grassy areas in between the building and the parking lots and southwest 44th Street. Brock Creek bounds the subject property to the east. Photographs of the external view of the site can be found in Appendix D. 5.4 Internal Observations The building is currently being vacated by the Oklahoma Army National Guard. Most rooms are vacant, but some military equipment remains onsite. According to Sergeant Coffman, the building will be completely vacant by December 15, 2010. Most of the rooms were used as offices. The drill floor had a long rectangular concrete strip that ran the width of the northern end of the drill floor. See Section 5.2 for more detail on the concrete strip and possible IFR. Photographs of the internal view of the site can be found in Appendix D. 5.5 Interviews A news article published in the Oklahoman on December 25, 1962 indicates that preliminary plans for the armory included a large, rectangular drill hall incorporating a rifle range and doubling as a recreation hall and athletic gymnasium (Appendix A). John Gibson at OMD was briefly interviewed by Heather Mallory with the Oklahoma Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 25 Department of Environmental Quality on September 23, 2010. Mr. Gibson was asked if the armory had an IFR. Mr. Gibson indicated that OMD did not observe an IFR during their recent tour of the armory. However, OMD did observe an area at the north end of the drill hall that had new concrete and new paint. Mr. Gibson said that the area of new concrete and paint was a long, rectangular strip that was flush with the floor. Mr. Gibson also provided a copy of a questionnaire that was filled about the armory in 1997. This questionnaire indicated that the armory did have an IFR either past or present and that lead testing had been performed on the IFR in 1991. No lead testing results were provided. See Appendix C for a copy of the questionnaire. The questionnaire also listed the following information (Appendix C): • Regular and unleaded gasoline was stored onsite in 5 gallon containers for yard work • 1,1,1-Trichloroethane was used for cleaning weapon parts • The armory generated ½ pound of rags and patches associated with rifle cleaning • Dry cleaning solvent and carburetor cleaner were used onsite • Latex paint and primer was stored onsite • Paint thinner was stored onsite • A small amount of rodenticide was stored onsite • Motor oil and antifreeze were stored onsite • Nickel cadmium and/or alkaline batteries were stored onsite • Magnesium batteries were stored onsite • The facility was considered a conditionally exempt small quantity generator • Stormwater run-off from the parking areas emptied into a storm drain system • A private contractor disposed of the trash at the facility • The flammable materials cabinet was housed in the Company C supply room and Company A storage room • The petroleum, oil, and lubricant storage was located on the southeast side of the vehicle compound On November 2, 2010, Beatriz Santamaria and Dustin Davidson performed a site reconnaissance on the subject property and interviewed Sergeant Kevin Coffman. Sergeant Coffman provided the following information. Site visit notes can be found in Appendix E. • Unsure of the types of chemicals that were used at the armory • Chemicals currently at the armory include 40 gallons of a chemical known as COP used for cleaning weapons • The property to the north is commercial, property to the east is residential and commercial, property to the south is a playground, and the property to the west is residential • Historical uses of adjacent properties are the same as above except for the playground was not present to the south until recently • Not aware of any current industrial use of properties in the area Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 26 • Meth houses are located nearby and one recently caught fire • Not aware of an IFR at the armory in the past 11 years, however it appears that one may have existed in the drill floor • There has been a huge termite problem in the north hall of the building in the past few months. However, no information was available regarding the use of chemical treatment for the removal of termites. • There is a gas station nearby • Nearby properties observed: bowling alley, pawn shop, apartments, church, gas stations, restaurants, veterinary clinic • Not aware of any discarded auto/industrial batteries, pesticides, paints, or other industrial chemicals present onsite • Not aware of any drums or storage tanks in the area • Not aware of any fill dirt brought onto the property • There is a drainage ditch on the east side of the armory • Not aware of any stained soil, chemical spills, or groundwater seeps • Not aware of any oil and gas exploration in the area • Not aware of any groundwater or surface water contamination at the subject property • The armory has not been flooded • Not aware of any vent pipes or fill pipes protruding from the ground now or in the past • Not aware of any USTs onsite in the past or present • Not aware of any unusual odors coming from the soil, structures, or drains in the area • Not aware of any wells in the area or nearby • Not aware of any environmental lawsuits, liens, or violations nearby • Not aware of any wastewater discharges in the area • Not aware of any transformers in the area • There is no radiation signage in the building • No water impoundments are present onsite • No above ground storage tanks have been used on the subject property past or present • Not aware of any hazardous air emissions on the property or nearby • The armory contents will be moved to a new location following Thanksgiving and will most likely be moved out by December 15, 2010 6.0 FINDINGS Summarized below are the major findings from this Targeted Brownfield Assessment and DEQ’s recommendations. The major findings of the highest environmental concern are presented first. • The following RECs were identified, former IFR and possible buried sand trap in the drill floor were found at the subject property during the site reconnaissance performed on November 2, 2010. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 27 • Due to the age of the building, there is a potential for asbestos and lead-based paint at the subject property. There is also a potential for lead dust in the building due to weapons fire and cleaning. • Meth houses have been reported nearby. One of the meth houses recently caught fire, therefore this is considered a REC due to the potential air emissions associated with chemicals burning. • The subject property is composed of 5 acres of land. The armory building is surrounded by grassy areas on all sides and by paved parking areas on the east, west, and south sides. The vehicle compound is located on the east side and is bordered by Brock Creek. • Adjoining properties in the area are commercial, residential, and recreational in nature. To the north are a bowling alley, restaurants, apartments, and a gas station. To the east are Young’s Park, a residential area, and some commercial properties including a dry cleaner. To the south is Young’s Park. To the west is a residential area. According to Sergeant Kevin Coffman, several of the houses nearby are meth houses and one recently caught fire. • The aerial photographs from 1995 to 2010 show an area of oil and gas development to the south of the armory building, south of Brock Creek. Several oil and/or gas tanks are observed in these photographs. The OCC Oil and Gas Well database shows four well listed for Young’s Park. The OCC oil and gas database indicates that oil exploration was attempted in the past, however all of these wells have been abandoned or plugged. Since this area of oil and gas development is located on an adjacent property, it is considered a REC. One gas well is currently operating onsite. Three oil or gas wells are listed as being near the subject property. These do not appear to be located on adjacent properties. One of these wells has been plugged and the other two are listed as active and probably producing. • The Sanborn map from 1922-1955 for the Oklahoma City area showed the subject property as Brock Park. No armory building is shown in the Sanborn map. Adjacent properties to the north, south, east, and west are all residential. No other Sanborn maps for the subject properties could be found. • The Polk City Directories from 1955 to 1970 were viewed at the Oklahoma City Downtown Metropolitan Library for the subject property only. Two addresses were found for the National Guard Armory. It appears that both addresses pertain to the armory. One of the addresses, 2222 SW 44th Street, corresponds to the current address of the armory and is listed as the National Guard Meeting Room in the 1970 directory. Prior to 1970, 2222 SW 44th Street was not listed in the city directories. The other address, 2140 SW 44th Street, is listed as the National Guard Armory in the 1970 directory. The 2140 SW 44th Street address was listed as vacant in 1958 and 1966, as Harmon AJ Plumbing and Heating Contractors from 1959 to 1964, and Security Fence Construction in 1965. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 28 • No NPL or delisted NPL sites, active CERCLIS site listings, RCRA CORRACTS and non-CORRACTS Treatment, Storage, or Disposal listings, ERNS list, State-equivalent NPL or CERCLIS lists, or State landfills and/or solid waste disposal sites were found on the subject property or within the ASTM recommended search radii. No archived CERCLIS site listings, RCRA generators, or VCP sites were found on the subject property. No Brownfield sites were found on the subject property either. The armory building on the subject property is being investigated for potential lead-based paint, lead dust, and asbestos. If any of these materials are found, the DEQ Site Cleanup Assistance Program (SCAP) will address them during cleanup of the armory. • Five confirmed LUST cases and one unconfirmed LUST case were reported in the OCC’s UST database within the ½ mile radius of the subject property. No LUST cases were reported on the subject property. Some of the LUST cases are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • No registered UST’s were found on the subject property. However, 28 registered USTs were found within ½ mile of the subject property. None of the adjacent properties contained registered USTs. Some of the USTs are located upgradient of the subject property, but should not affect the subject property due to their proximity. • The property owner and representatives of the property were also not aware of any ICs or ECs on the property. No ICs or ECs were found in the Oklahoma County Courthouse. 7.0 OPINION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Due to the potential for asbestos and lead-based paint in the armory building and the possible indoor firing range and buried firing range sand, the environmental professionals working on this site believe that additional assessment is warranted. Several findings mentioned in Section 6.0 of this Phase I TBA report support this opinion. The DEQ feels there is a low potential of impact from the LUST cases due to the distance they are located from the site. None of these LUST cases were found on the adjoining properties either. The UST sites located nearby to the southeast are upgradient according to the topographical map, however there is a low potential of impact from the USTs due to their proximity to the subject property. The DEQ feels there is a low potential of impact to the site from the LUST and UST sites. The meth houses located nearby are believed to pose a low impact to the subject property, because no dumping of chemicals from these houses has been observed or reported by personnel at the armory. One of the meth houses recently caught fire. Therefore there is a potential for air emissions associated with this event. The DEQ feels that there is a low potential of impact from this incident. Phase I TBA Former 44th Street Oklahoma City Armory Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 29 8.0 DATA GAPS No tribal information was obtained for this assessment. No tax records or zoning records were reviewed for this report. The Limited Environmental Baseline Assessment (LEBA) had not been completed by the Oklahoma Military Department (OMD) at the time this TBA was conducted. There is a gap in knowledge of what the OMD says was used on site as shown by the interview responses. However, this did not affect the ability of the DEQ to make a recommendation on the subject property. Serious environmental contaminants were used on site with no specific information about use available. 9.0 CONCLUSIONS The DEQ has performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E 1527-05 of the former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory located at 2222 SW 44th Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section [10.0] of this report. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized conditions in connection with the former Oklahoma City 44th Street armory property. However, the following RECs exist on site: one former injection well, two former oil wells, and one currently producing gas well found in the OCC database that are near the subject property; the potential of asbestos, lead dust, and lead-based paint in the armory building; the potential indoor firing range and buried firing range sand trap located in the drill floor of the armory building; and meth labs located nearby, one that recently burned. The information provided in this assessment is to assist the City of Oklahoma City in its revitalization planning as well as meet the All Appropriate Inquiry requirement of the landowner liability protections under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, better known as Superfund – Ref. 2), as provided in the Small Business Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-118, Subtitle B – Ref. 3). 10.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES No additional services were provided in this Phase I Targeted Brownfield Assessment. However, sampling and analysis of asbestos, lead paint and lead dust is ongoing and results will be provided. 11.0 DEVIATIONS No deviations and deletions from E 1527-05 were made for this Phase I Targeted Brownfield Assessment. 12.0 REFERENCES 1.
