1.0 INTRODUCTION
A preliminary Phase 1 Environmental site assessment and investigation of
potential contamination for the Lums Pond State Park Campground has been
conducted and completed. The site assessment report includes all information
necessary to determine the risk of contamination to include use of property, use of
adjoining property, all potential threats of past, present, and future contamination to
 For Educational Purposes Only

include leaking underground storage tanks, leaking aboveground storage tanks,

and all other potential environmental contamination threats.

1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of the preliminary Phase 1 Environmental site assessment is
to assess the site and determine if there is contamination on the site and to
determine if physical sampling is required.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of this work will comply with the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule
set forth by the American Society for Testing and Material Standard Practice for
Environmental Site Assessments, E-1527-13

1.3 SUMMARY
Capstone Consulting 2017 has found that there are no imminent threats or recognized
environmental conditions as defined by ASTM E1527-13 that propose immediate threats to the
site in terms of contamination at this time. The client, Dr. Heidi Gurdo may proceed with her
building plans after complete and total review of the Preliminary Phase 1 Site Assessment
report and full agreement that there is no potential contamination on the Lums Pond State Park
Campground. Please refer to the entirety of the report and the final conclusion of findings for
further information regarding the assessment.

2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2.1 FINDINGS

On-site:
Land use of the property: The Lums Pond State Park Campground
property is owned by the State of Delaware and zoned as SR- Suburban
Reserve.
Existing water bodies:
The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and the Pond itself are the
main bodies of water. There is also another body of water located east of the site
but the name for it is undetermined.
Wetlands:
There are Terrene Flat (palustrine), & Hydrologic-wetlands
consisting of hydric soils having natural vegetation.
There are also Palustrine wetlands which are rock bottom,
unconsolidated bottom, aquatic bed, unconsolidated shore, moss-lichen
wetlands, emergent wetlands, scrub-shrub wetlands, and forested wetlands.
Historical Findings of the site include:
Lums Pond is the largest freshwater pond in
 For Educational Purposes Only

Delaware. It was built in the 19th century as the impoundment for the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
The Lums Mill house is located on site and it is in
poor condition.The Lums Mill House was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 1973. Currently no visible posted
signs or markings for archaeological sites on the grounds.
Riparian Buffer:
There is a required 100 foot riparian buffer around
Lums pond on the site.
There is a riparian buffer of 50 feet around the 100
year floodplain, freshwater and forested shrubs and wetlands, as
well as the freshwater emergent wetlands.
Water and Sewer:
According to the Lums Pond State Park
Superintendent, the drinking water is available and is controlled and
monitored by Artesian Water Company.
There is an existing public sewer available.The
sewer is connected to the existing wastewater treatment facility. The
outfall for the wastewater treatment plant is located off the C&D
Canal.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL):
According to Delaware Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control; Total Maximum Daily Load regulation, designation: 16
DE Reg. 538 (11/02/12), (last updated November 7, 2014); there are limitations
of nitrogen, phosphorous, and 5-day Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen
Demand (CBOD5) material for point source rates as well as nonpoint source
discharge rates for effluent or treated water being discharged back into the canal.
Point Source limitations:
The total nitrogen waste load from
the Lums Pond State Park Wastewater Treatment Plant shall be
limited to 9 pounds per day
The total phosphorus waste load
from the Lums Pond State Park Wastewater Treatment Plant shall
be limited to 2 pounds per day
The 5-day Carbonaceous
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD5) waste load from the Lums
Pond State Park Wastewater Treatment Plant shall be limited to
13 pounds per day.
Nonpoint source limitations:
The nonpoint source nitrogen load in
the sub-watershed shall be reduced by 40 percent from the 2009-
2011 baseline level. This shall result in an average of 30 pounds
per day of nitrogen load.
The nonpoint source phosphorus
load in the sub-watershed shall be reduced by 40 percent from the
2009-2011 baseline level. This shall result in an average of 1
pound per day of phosphorus load.
 For Educational Purposes Only

The nonpoint source CBOD5 in the

sub-watershed shall be reduced by 40 percent from the 2009-2011
baseline level. This shall result in an average of 88 pounds per
day of CBOD5 load.
Soil Groups:
Most of the soil is acidic soil however there are some
concentrations of alkaline soils mixed throughout the site.
Soils on site include:
47.3% - Ingleside Sandy Loam (2-5% slope). Soil
Group A. Acidic.
21.8%- Fallsington Sandy Loam (0-2% slope). Soil
Group C/D. Alkaline/Acidic.
8.9%- Greenwich Loam (2-5% slope). Soil Group B.
(80% sand, 20% clay). More acidic than alkaline.
Building restrictions due to soil type:
The Ingleside Sandy Loams and Greenwich Loams
on the site have no limitations for building.
The Fallsington Sandy Loams and the Longmarsh
and Indiantown Soils cannot be built on due to ponding and flooding risks.
Locations of transformers:
There is a transformer (electric box) about 50-60 feet
passed the welcome station, as well as in the north-east section.
Other Activities:
Recreational activities such as camping, biking,
running, fishing, hiking, visiting and other visitor activities take place
within the site.

Off-site:

Using the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental

Controls (DNREC) Environmental Navigator Maps, four underground storage tanks
were found within a 1 mile radius of the Lums Pond Campground Site. Three of these
four storage tanks were reported as leaking in the past and have since been capped and
monitored by DNREC and no longer pose any immediate threat. Lindsay Hall, a project
manager from DNREC, and colleagues investigated the site on January 30, 2017 and
determined these tanks would not create any risk to the Lums Pond Campground site.
Using DNRECs Environmental Navigator Maps, two aboveground storage tanks
were found within a 1 mile radius of the Lums Pond Campground Site. Out of these two
aboveground storage tanks only one has been reported as leaking. This leaking tank
has since been capped and is monitored by the Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control so it does not pose a threat to the site.
According to DNRECs Environmental Navigator Maps there is one Certified
Brownfield site within one mile of the Lums Pond Campground Site. From an
investigation of this site by DNREC it has been determined that the Brownfield site does
not pose any current immediate threats to the Lums Pond Campground site.

2.2 SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

An enforcement permit was issued and paid for on an open aboveground storage
tank on the North Summit Marina property northeast from the Lums Pond State Park
Campground on 5/4/2016. After the permit was issued, the tank was capped and
continues to be monitored by DNREC.

There is no further evidence of contamination on or off the site for a

distance of approximately 1000 feet to a mile may have an impact on the
site.

The Lums Pond State Park Campground is free of risk and or threat
of contamination that would negatively impact the site.

The Lums Pond State Park Campground property, the above ground
storage tank, and the North Summit Marina property have since been investigated
by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control
(DNREC), (January, 2017). A determination was made by the DNREC officers who
investigated these areas that there is no imminent threat or recognized
environmental conditions that may provide proof of risk, or threat of contamination
on the site. The only consideration given to the site in terms of waste was the
investigation of burn pits on the Lums Pond State Park Campground property and
the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from burning plastics.
Since there is a site proposal for a Smart Growth community to be placed
on the existing property, excavation practices are to be taken into consideration. It
is highly recommended that the excavators contact the Delaware Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental Control for waste disposal recommendations
for the burn/fire pit areas prior to digging.

5.0 INTERVIEWS

5.1 INTERVIEW WITH LINDSAY HALL

On January 30, 2017 Jacob Capodanno had an interview with

Lindsay Hall, a project manager at the Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control
On this same day Lindsay and her colleagues from DNREC
investigated the site and their findings are as follows:
There are no national priorities list or brownfield sites
in the surrounding area that would affect the Lums Pond
Campground Site.
No permits have been issued recently that would
impact the site in any way.
No major outstanding issues regarding the Summit
North Marina property would affect the site. In the past, there have
been tank releases on the Marina property, but they did not and will
not impact the Lums Pond Site.
DNREC is currently investigating cases on polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons from the burn pits and fire rings through soil
sampling tests and air quality monitoring tests, but no action has
been necessary yet and there has not been an issue with
contamination at the Lums Pond site.

6.0 SITE HYDROGEOLOGY

New Castle County, Delaware is located in, The Atlantic Coastal

Plain physiographic province that is characterized by low hills of
unconsolidated sand, silt, and clay sediments(Laurel, pp.32).
Total thickness of all coastal plain units is about 8,000
feet (at Fenwick Island). A great period of time, of which there is no
record in Delaware, passed before the deposition of the oldest
sediments of the Coastal Plain, the Potomac Formation, during the
latter part of Early Cretaceous time, about 120 million years
ago(Delaware Geological Survey).
There are two major confined aquifers in Delaware
the Potomac and the Piney Point aquifer. Although not completely
illustrating both, you can observe these from the map below.

7.0 CONCLUSION

Based on the research and findings from the Phase 1 Environmental

Site Assessment reported in this document Capstone Consulting can
conclude there are no current or previous environmental risks or hazards
that would affect the Lums Pond project.
The Capstone Consulting Environmental Team recommends to
move forward with development of the site.

9.0 DEFINITIONS

Aerial photographs: photographs taken from an aerial platform with sufficient resolution to allow
identification of development and activities of areas encompassing the property.

Adjoining properties: any real property or properties the border of which is contiguous or
partially contiguous with that of the property, or that would be contiguous or partially contiguous
with that of the property but for a street, road, or other public thoroughfare separating them.
 For Educational Purposes Only

ASTM-E1527-13: American Society for Testing Materials, is globally recognized leader in the
development and delivery of internationally voluntary consensus standards. The purpose of this
practice is to define good commercial and customary practice in the United States of America
for conducting an environmental site assessment of a parcel of commercial real estate with
respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products.

Brownfields amendments: amendments to CERCLA pursuant to the Small Business Liability

Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act, Pub. L. No. 107-118 (2002), 42 U.S.C. 9601et seq

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act: provides a Federal

"Superfund" to clean up uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous-waste sites as well as accidents,
spills, and other emergency releases of pollutants and contaminants into the environment.
Through CERCLA, EPA was given power to seek out those parties responsible for any release
and assure their cooperation in the cleanup.

Drum: a container (typically, but not necessarily, holding 55 gal (208 L) of liquid) that may be
used to store hazardous substance or petroleum products.

Hazardous substance: A substance defined as a hazardous substance pursuant to CERCLA 42

USC 9601(14), as interpreted by EPA regulations and the courts: (A) any substance
designated pursuant to section 1321(b)(2)(A) of Title 33, (B) any element, compound, mixture,
solution, or substance designated pursuant to section 9602 of this title, (C) any hazardous
waste having the characteristics identified under or listed pursuant to section 3001 of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, (42 USC 6921) (but
not including any waste the regulation of which under RCRA (42 USC 6901et seq.) has been
suspended by Act of Congress), (D) any toxic pollutant listed under section 1317(a) of Title 33,
(E) any hazardous air pollutant listed under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (42 USC 7412),
and (F) any imminently hazardous chemical substance or mixture with respect to which the
Administrator (of EPA) has taken action pursuant to section 2606 of Title 15. The term does not
include petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof which is not otherwise specifically
listed or designated as a hazardous substance under subparagraphs (A) through (F) of this
paragraph, and the term does not include natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas,
or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas).

Hazardous waste: any hazardous waste having the characteristics identified under or listed
pursuant to section 3001 of RCRA, as amended, (42 USC 6921) (but not including any waste
the regulation of which under RCRA (42 USC 6901-6992k.) has been suspended by Act of
Congress). RCRA is sometimes also identified as the Solid Waste Disposal Act. RCRA defines a
hazardous waste, in 42 USC 6903, as: a solid waste, or combination of solid wastes, which
because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may-
(A) cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious
irreversible, or incapacitating reversible illness; or (B) pose a substantial present or potential
 For Educational Purposes Only

hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or
disposed of, or otherwise managed.

Interviews: those portions of this practice that are contained in Section 10 and 11 thereof and
address questions to be asked of past and present owners, operators, and occupants of the
property and question to be asked of local government officials.

Pits, ponds, or lagoons: man-made or natural depressions in a ground surface that are likely to
hold liquids or sludge containing hazardous substances or petroleum products. The likelihood of
such liquids or sludge being present is determined by evidence of factors associated with the
pit, pond, or lagoon, including, but not limited to, discolored water, distressed vegetation, or the
presence of an obvious wastewater discharge.

Property: the real property that is the subject of the environmental site assessment described in
this practice. Real property includes buildings and other fixtures and improvements located on
the property and affixed to the land.

Recognized environmental conditions: the presence or likely presence of any hazardous

substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing
release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or
petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface
water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even
under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimis
conditions that generally do not present a material risk of harm to public health or the
environment and that generally would not be the subject of enforcement action if brought to the
attention of appropriate governmental agencies. Conditions determined to be de minimis are not
recognized environmental conditions.
