Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Riverside Conoco 1350 Myers Avenue Batesville, Arkansas EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report has been prepared to document the scope of work, procedures, and methods used by Pollution Management Inc. (PMI) during the course of this Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). This Phase I ESA was conducted in accordance with the scope and limitations of ASTM International E1527-21, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. The findings and conclusions presented in this report are based upon the findings of the visual site inspection, owner interview, and the limited regulatory and historical records review for the property. This report is limited to the specific scope of work and by the limitations set out herein. This report contains pertinent information other than that set out in the Executive Summary, and should be read in its entirety. The subject of this Phase I ESA is the property located at 1350 Myers Avenue in Batesville, Independence County, Arkansas. The property is associated with Independence County tax parcel 1100482001C. The parcel will be referred to hereafter as "the subject property." The subject property is approximately one (1) acre in area with one (1) approximately 4,000-square-foot convenience store and an approximately 2,500-square-foot metal canopy located thereon. The historical records review revealed that the subject property was first developed as a dirt lot sometime between 1942 and 1963. Around 2000, the present-day convenience store and gasoline service station were constructed. Surrounding properties have been commercial/office in use, with two (2) bank buildings and a coffee shop to the north, a VFW constructed around 2000 to the east, and a florist/bait shop to the west. PMI utilized Environmental Data Resources (EDR) to search various federal, state, and tribal databases suggested by ASTM E 1527-21. The subject property was identified in the regulated storage tank (RST) database for the operation of two (2) underground storage tanks. Several off-site facilities were identified within the recommended search radii. A review of available information based on distance, apparent topographic gradient, and/or regulatory status revealed that the identified facilities do not present an environmental concern for the subject property at this time. PMI performed a visual site inspection on December 8, 2022. At that time, the subject property was a vacant gasoline service station. 1
