Site Assessments

Targeted Brownfields Assessment

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Texas

These assessments were conducted on behalf of the Property Owners by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) program. The EPA Region 6 Brownfields Team funded the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District to execute the work reflected in these reports. These Phase I ESAs were requested by the designated User as part of their due diligence to assess the current status of environmental conditions and compliance at the Subject Properties. A records review was conducted of available records of public use for indications of Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC) or concerns. Some documents reviewed included: historical/current aerial photographs, historical city directories, area related geologic/hydrogeologic information, flood plain maps, wetlands maps and others, and depending on Scope, a review request to the State’s Historical Preservation Office. Site reconnaissance of the Site was conducted in an attempt to identify past and present uses of the Site and adjoining properties, the Site’s physical setting, and any obvious environmental conditions. Interviews were attempted to gather information about the Site’s environmental status from people knowledgeable about the Site and surrounding properties. The gathered information was analyzed to produce a report and recommendations.
