LIST OF ACRONYMS
As part of this project, T N & Associates, Inc. (TN&A) performed a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) to assess whether recognized environmental concerns (RECs) are present
within the study area. In this report, the term REC means 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 REC 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 an enforcement action if brought to the attention of
appropriate governmental agencies (ASTM, 2000).This work was performed in accordance with
American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Practice E1527-00.
In this report, TN&A provides information from the Phase I ESA completed for the Port
Washington Road Relief Sewer Project (the “project”), as shown in Figure 1. During
performance of this Phase I ESA, TN&A placed specific focus on evaluating the likelihood that
RECs are located in close proximity to each relief sewer corridor alignment (“project site”)
presently being evaluated by Brown and Caldwell. The scope of services for this Phase I ESA
included:
(1) reviewing historical information/records regarding land ownership, land use, and
environmental conditions at the project sites, (2) performing a visual reconnaissance to
document existing conditions at each project site and the immediately adjacent land area, (3)
interviewing key persons familiar with the project sites, and (4) preparing this report.
Report findings and recommendations are presented below. A more complete discussion of the
information obtained during the Phase I ESA is presented in the following sections of this report.
Supporting data, figures, photographs, and other information are attached in Appendices A-E.
1.1 Findings
Findings from the Phase I ESA have identified the following RECs:
• The project sites are located in Milwaukee County. Subsurface geology in this area is
represented by a relatively thick sequence of unconsolidated glacial sediment overlying
carbonate bedrock. Perched groundwater occurs in the glacial sediment, with area water
supplies being obtained from Lake Michigan, and in certain instances, the deeper bedrock
aquifer system. Some hydraulic interconnection between shallow groundwater and local
surface water features is likely. Therefore, discharges to groundwater could affect Lincoln
Creek, the Milwaukee River, or other surface water features.
• The residences and businesses located immediately adjacent to the project site are served by
public utilities. Drinking water supplies in the site vicinity are obtained from Lake Michigan
and are distributed and operated by the City of Milwaukee Water Works (MWW)
Department. The possibility exists however that private potable wells are located in the area.
Information should be obtained to determine whether pumping wells in the area are exerting
stress on the aquifer system, potentially affecting groundwater contaminant plume migration.
• Land use along the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor consists predominantly of
residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Existing land use suggests that the potential
exists for contaminants to have been released to the corridor due to surface spills, leaking
underground storage tanks, and commercial/industrial operations. The potential exists for
organic contaminants (i.e., petroleum and solvents), biological contaminants (i.e., viruses,
bacteria), and inorganics (i.e., salt, heavy metals) contaminants to exist locally in the soil,
surface water, groundwater, and/or air. Pesticides and herbicides may also be present.
• Land use along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor (including the
satellite and near surface storage facilities) consists predominantly of mixed residential and
park settings. A good portion of this alignment resides within the 100-year floodplain, and
several areas along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment have been designated as
wetlands. As such, potential site construction and development activities may be restricted
and require permits/approvals from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
(WDNR) and possibly other regulatory agencies. As noted for the 27th Street Relief Sewer
Alignment Corridor, spills and LUSTs could exert environmental risk onto this alignment.
• Information reviewed during this study indicates that land use within the project area has
remained fairly consistent over the past several years. A review of select tax key information
indicates that past liens and encumbrances are associated with certain properties within the
alignment corridors (including tax-delinquent properties). Further evaluation is needed to
identify whether tax-delinquent, bankrupt, abandoned, and/or devalued properties represent
environmental contamination at these sites.
• A review of federal regulatory database information obtained for the project sites did not
identify uncontrolled hazardous waste sites within the standard ASTM search radii. Forty-
seven hazardous waste generators were identified within the ¼-mile search areas for the 27th
Street Relief Sewer Alignment and twenty-four hazardous waste generators were identified
within the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor (includes satellite facilities
and near surface storage facilities). While no known releases were associated with these
sites, the potential exists that hazardous waste could be discharged by these facilities. This
possibility should be considered during the evaluation of alternatives.
• Two spill sites were identified along the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor. These
sites are closed and not expected to pose significant environmental risk to this sewer
alignment corridor.
• Numerous leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) are located at the evaluated sites. The
majority of these sites have either been closed by the WDNR or the Wisconsin Department
T N & Associates, Inc.
2
Port Washington Road Relief Sewer Project – Phase I ESA Report
• Several solid waste landfills (SWLs) that have the potential to affect the 27th Street Relief
Sewer Alignment and Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment alternatives and the satellite
and near surface storage facilities are being considered in the Estabrook Park area. Further
evaluation of the environmental risk associated with each landfill area is recommended. The
presence of buried waste, leachate discharges, and potential or known groundwater quality
impacts suggests that measures to avoid these sites should be considered.
• The project sites are located immediately adjacent to major thoroughfares. Indiscriminate
spills or releases have occurred along roadways, potentially impacting the project sites.
The above RECs indicate that all project areas may potentially be affected by off-site
contaminant sources. No definitive data was obtained during this study to indicate that this is the
case, however. The likelihood of such occurrences is considered moderate due to the presence of
landfills or other potentially contaminating sources within the study area. Accordingly, all
reasonable inquiries should be performed with the appropriate agencies before any construction
activities are initiated. This may include obtaining the permits necessary to address contaminated
soil and groundwater that may be encountered during construction.
1.2 Recommendations
Based on the above findings, TN&A recommends that MMSD conduct follow-up investigation
activities (Phase II ESA) to further evaluate those sites that pose unacceptable environmental
risk to the project sites for the selected alternative. This work may consist of performing an
additional file review to assess site history and existing environmental conditions and/or possibly
subsurface investigation and sampling activities. It is recommended that the supplemental results
from such studies be integrated into the final design of the selected alternative, as well as provide
appropriate information to ensure that proper environmental monitoring and safety and health
protocols are used during construction.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
This Phase I ESA was conducted to evaluate whether any RECs are indicated at, or in the
immediate vicinity of, the following project sites:
• 27th Street Storage Relief Sewer
• Milwaukee River Storage Relief Sewer
• Green Tree and Estabrook Satellite Facilities
• Green Tree Road, Humboldt Avenue, and Range Line Road Near Surface Storage
Because of the significant development along nearby Port Washington Road (located further
east), this area was also evaluated for potential RECs.
Further discussion regarding the scope of services performed by TN&A during this Phase I ESA
is presented below.
2.1 Scope-of-Services
This Phase I ESA was conducted in accordance with a proposal submitted to Brown and
Caldwell during June 2004. This work was completed in substantial accordance with ASTM E
1527-00, subject to the assumptions, limitations, and exceptions noted below. Of note, no
sampling or inspection of the inside of buildings or structures was performed during this Phase I
ESA; rather, visual observations were limited to those made from public roadways.
2.2 Assumptions
Certain information contained in this report has been obtained from regulatory database search
firms, regulatory and public agencies, personal interviews, and MMSD. It is assumed that the
information obtained from these and other information sources is true and accurate. TN&A
makes no representations or warranties that such information is accurate or that any independent
investigation, beyond the agreed upon scope of services, has been or will be made to verify the
accuracy of such information.

In addition, TN&A also performed a separate review of information contained within the WDNR
Bureau of Remediation and Redevelopment Tracking System (BRRTS) Database. TN&A staff
also reviewed select file information at the WDNR office in Milwaukee.
Further discussion regarding the information provided by each database source as well as the
findings from the database review is provided below.
Records from the Federal Government were reviewed to determine the potential of the subject
areas to be contaminated and/or have on-site generation of hazardous wastes. The information
obtained is also presented by corridor in Figure 16.
NPL: represents the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA’s) list of
confirmed or proposed Superfund Sites (updated quarterly).
No NPL sites were identified within the designated search radius for any of the evaluated
alternatives.
CERCLIS: provides data on sites that have been reported to the U.S. EPA by states,
municipalities, private companies, and private persons, and which have either been investigated
or are currently under investigation for the release or threatened release of hazardous substances
(updated quarterly).
No CERCLIS sites were identified within the designated search radius for any of the evaluated
alternatives.
CERCLIS - NFRAP: The CERCLIS No Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP) database
identifies those CERCLA sites, which to the best of U.S. EPA’s knowledge, have completed all
necessary assessment activities and that no further steps will be taken to list this site on the NPL
(updated quarterly).
The database review did not identify any CERCLIS - NFRAP sites within the designated search
radius for any of the evaluated alternatives.
RCRIS: U.S. EPA’s database of registered facilities that generate, transport, store, treat, or
dispose of hazardous waste(s) as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) of 1976. RCRA identifies, tracks, and regulates the hazardous waste(s) from the time it
is generated until its ultimate disposal. RCRIS databases queried by FirstSearch consisted of the
following:
RCRIS - TSD: contains information pertaining to facilities that generate, treat, store, or dispose
of hazardous waste(s). This database is updated annually.
No RCRIS - TSD site was identified within a 0.5-mile radius designated search radius for any of
the evaluated alternatives.
RCRA COR: The RCRA Corrective Action Sites (CORRACTS) list defines hazardous substance
handlers with RCRA COR. The list includes nationally defined corrective action events. This
information is also reported on the standard RCRIS detailed data listing (this database is updated
annually).
No CORRACTS were identified within the designated search radii from the evaluated
alternatives.
RCRA GEN: This report contains information pertaining to large and small quantity generators.
This list identifies facilities that either generate more than 1,000 kilograms (kg) of hazardous
waste per month or meet other applicable criteria set for large quantity generators (LQGs) under
RCRA; and considers information pertaining to facilities that either generate between 100 kg
[220 pounds (lb.)] and 1,000 kg (2,200 lb.) of hazardous waste per month or meet other
applicable criteria set for small quantity generators (SQGs) under RCRA (this database is
updated annually).
Several RCRA generators were located within the project corridors. The number of RCRA
generators located within the 0.25-mile search radius for each of the evaluated alternatives is
tabulated below. This information represents a summary of the FirstSearch regulatory search
database reports provided in Appendix A (Note: The regulatory data for each alignment is
separated by a contrast color page to facilitate use of this information).

small quantity hazardous waste generators (VGN). Based on this information, it is not expected
that either site would pose significant environmental risk to the proposed alignments. RCRA
generators located along Port Washington Road are identified below (See Figure 16).
According to this information, four sites are listed as VGN and three sites as SGN. Based on this
information, it is not expected that these sites would pose significant environmental risk to the
proposed alignment.
ERNS: The Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) list is a national computer
database system that is used to store information on the sudden and/or accidental releases of oil
and hazardous substances including petroleum into the environment. The ERNS reporting
system contains preliminary information on specific releases including the spill location, the
substance released, and the responsible party (updated quarterly).
ERNS sites located within the study area are identified on the FirstSearch regulatory search
database reports provided in Appendix A. This information is summarized further below.
Two ERNS sites were identified within the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor
and an additional site within the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor as summarized
below. The location of these “Other Sites” is shown (in green) on Figure 17. The location of
non-UST/non-LUST (“Other”) sites is shown on Figure 20 (27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment
Corridor), Figure 24 (Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment), and Figure 28 (Port
Washington Road).

The locations for the Satellite Facilities are shown on Figure 30. Environmental sites located
within the designated ASTM search radii area also shown (identified by number, cross-
referenced to the ‘ID’ column provided within the FirstSearch Database Report for the
Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor in Appendix A). Similarly, the locations for
the identified near surface storage facilities are also shown on Figure 30 (site location
identification codes cross-reference those given in Appendix A for the Milwaukee River
Corridor database report).
ERNS sites identified within a 0.25 miles of the project relief sewer alignmentcorridor(s) are
noted below.
According to WDNR information this site is closed, and therefore is not expected to pose
significant environmental risk to the proposed alignment (see Figure 20). No ERNS sites were
identified along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor. Sites identified along
nearby Port Washington Road are summarized below.
According to a review of WDNR records, two of these sites have been closed (no further action
required). Consequently, neither site is believed to pose significant environmental risk. Fuel oil
has resulted in contamination at the Green Tree Health Center site, and a remedial action options
report to address this contamination has been approved by the WDNR. The unknown site
appears to be the Milprint, Inc. facility. Review of WDNR information indicates that soil and
groundwater contamination exists at this site, and continuing investigation is being performed.
Open ERNS sites along Port Washington Road should be further evaluated to assess the current
risk posed on the evaluated corridors.
Records from the state government were reviewed to determine the potential of the evaluated
relief sewer alignment corridor to be contaminated and/or have on-site generation of hazardous
wastes.
STATE SITES: The WDNR’s listing of Hazard Ranking Sites as maintained by the Emergency
and Remedial Response Program Division (updated annually).
No state sites were identified within the 27th Street or Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment
Corridors. The following site was located however along nearby Port Washington Road:
Select file information regarding the Blue Hole Landfill is provided in Appendix B. As reported,
the Blue Hole Landfill accepted municipal waste including rubbish, ash, and other non-
combustible material until it was closed in 1973. This site is designated as a high priority site
due to its proximity to the Milwaukee River. Sampling performed by the WDNR has shown
elevated levels of arsenic, barium, and lead in leachate surface seeps. A landfill closure plan and
Exemption to Construct was approved by the WDNR in July 1997, and the property was
subsequently sold to the Milwaukee Area Technical College who constructed a parking lot over
T N & Associates, Inc.

Port Washington Road Relief Sewer Project – Phase I ESA Report
this area. Continued monitoring has shown elevated metals and organic compounds in site
groundwater. However, given the distance and down-river direction of this landfill from the
nearest proposed construction area, it is not expected to pose a significant environmental threat
to construction.
WDNR SWL: The WDNR’s Bureau of Waste Management maintains a database containing a
listing of active and historic SWL facilities. This database is updated annually (or as available).
According to the FirstSearch database, several SWL facilities are located within the 0.25-mile
search radius search area completed along the proposed relief sewer alignments. This
information is summarized below.

The SWL sites identified during the database search are shown on Figure 17, and other relevant
information presented in Appendix A. Further information regarding the SWL sites located
within each corridor is presented below.
Information regarding these (and other) sites is contained in Appendix B. According to this
information, all three sites pose significant environmental risk to portions of the 27th Street
Relief Sewer Alignment.
Several tanks are located at the W.H. Brady Technicote facility. According to regulatory records,
several spills have occurred during on-site operations. Additional review to assess current
environmental conditions at this facility is recommended.
The City of Glendale site is an 18-acre municipal solid waste disposal facility site that was
operated during the 1960s and 1970s. Continued monitoring to assess groundwater conditions at
this site is being performed.
Johnson Controls generated waste at its research and experimental testing facility, which
operated a lead-acid battery line. In 1981, a wastewater spill containing high levels of lead was
released to a drainage located within a ½ mile of Lincoln Creek. Later, a lead oxide leak/spill
occurred during the transfer of lead oxide powder at the facility. A preliminary closure plan was
submitted to the WDNR in August 1995. Further review to determine the current status of this
facility is recommended.
The FirstSearch database search also identified one SWL site within the Milwaukee River Relief
Sewer Alignment Corridor.
According to WDNR records, the Schlitz Terminal site was used as a municipal/sanitary waste
site for many years. From the information reviewed, it appears likely that this site poses
significant environmental risk to the southern portion of the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer
Alignment Corridor.
In addition to the Schlitz Terminal site (located near Port Washington Road), the FirstSearch
database effort identified a dumpsite in the same general area.
TN&A did not find any information regarding this site when reviewing WDNR files. It is likely
that this dump was also used for the disposal of assorted municipal waste. Therefore, it appears
likely that this site poses significant environmental risk to the southern portion of the Milwaukee
River Relief Sewer Alignment.
REG UST/AST: The database search included the identification of registered USTs/ASTs. This
database resides with the Wisconsin DCOM and is maintained by the Division of Safety,
Buildings, and the Environment.
The database review identified numerous USTs located within the project search area including
several sites that were located at higher elevations from the project site, indicating that releases
from these sites would have the potential to intersect the evaluated relief sewer alignment
corridors. The following identifies the number of USTs located within the designated 0.25-mile
search area.
Other
The UST/AST sites identified during the database search are shown on Figure 19 and other
relevant information presented in Appendix A. Further information regarding the UST/AST sites
located within each corridor is presented below.
Other UST sites located immediately adjacent to the corridor are identified below:

According to information obtained from FirstSearch and the WDNR, no releases are known to
have occurred at any of these sites. Based on this information and current tank monitoring
requirements, it is unlikely that these UST sites pose significant environmental risk to the
27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor.
The UST/AST sites identified during the database search along the Milwaukee River Relief
Sewer Alignment Corridor are shown on Figure 23 (Appendix A). The three UST sites located
within the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor are identified below:
UST 55, 56, Concours Motors 1400 W. Silver Spring 0.01 681635, 64459,
57 Dr. 582721
According to information obtained during this assessment, no releases have occurred at any of
these sites. Based on this information and current tank monitoring requirements, it is unlikely
that these UST sites pose significant environmental risk to the 27th Street Relief Sewer
Alignment.
The FirstSearch database search also identified seven UST/AST sites along Port Washington
Road. They are identified below.

According to FirstSearch and WDNR records, no known releases have occurred from these UST
systems. Furthermore, the majority of these UST sites are located in positions that would not be
expected to affect the adjacent Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment.
LUST Database: The WDNR manages a database listing of all LUSTs. This list is maintained
by the WDNR’s Remediation and Redevelopment Program and is updated on a quarterly basis.
The database review identified numerous LUSTs located within the project search area including
several sites that were located at higher elevations or positions expected to be hydraulically
upgradient from the relief sewer alignment corridors. This information indicates that petroleum
(or other) releases from these sites would have the potential to intersect the project sites.
According to the FirstSearch database, the following LUST sites are located within the
designated 0.25-mile search area.
Other
The LUST sites identified during the database search along the 27th Street Relief Sewer
Alignment Corridor are shown on Figure 17. Other relevant information is presented in
Appendix A. Further information regarding the LUST sites located within this corridor is

Conditional closure is pending for the Hewitt, Dealers Choice, Bentley, and Wagner properties,
indicating that the contamination at these sites has likely been addressed. A remedial action plan
has been implemented to address soil and groundwater contamination at the Akal Quick Mart
site.
LUST sites present along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor are shown on
Figure 22, and related information presented in Appendix A. Information regarding WDNR
designated high priority sites have also been tabulated in Tables 1-6. Those sites located closest
to the alignment axis are summarized below.
LUST 123 North Shore Dodge 1433 W. Silver 0.03 0341001617 CLOSED

According to information obtained from FirstSearch and the WDNR, all sites have been closed,
suggesting that the contamination has been addressed. Two additional sites, Amoco Station
#19721, 190 W. Hampton Avenue (#129), located 0.13 miles from the corridor axis and
Milwaukee Gear Co., 5150 N. Port Washington Road (#127) have been closed with deed
restrictions (on-site soil and groundwater contamination exists at these sites). Based on this
information, it appears unlikely that these sites pose significant environmental risk to the
Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment.
Three open LUST sites are located within a ¼ mile from the corridor. These sites, designated by
the WDNR as high priority/high risk LUST sites, are: Laidlaw Transit, 5901 N. Glen Park Road
(#122); Amoco Station #19681, 6369 N. Green Bay Road (#114); and the former Hometown Gas
Station located at 6772 N. Green Bay Road (#121) (See Figure 25). A site investigation at the
Laidlaw site has identified soil and groundwater contamination (high priority site). The WDNR
has reviewed information regarding the Amoco #19681 site (contamination investigation not yet
conducted). A closure request has been submitted to the Hometown site (on-site soil and
groundwater contamination).
Six other open LUST sites located along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor
have been designated by the WDNR as high priority/low risk sites (contamination at these sites
is limited to soil impacts; groundwater is not affected). These sites are: Ameritech Services, 4349
N. Richards Street (#131); Spic & Span, 4301 N. Richards Street (#44), Laurel Oaks, 1700 W.
Bender Road (#34); Office Max, 5100 N. Port Washington Road (#40); Donahue Property (#31);
and Crestwood Area Projects, 1720-1800 W. Silver Spring Road (#30)(See Figure 27). Since
contamination at these sites is limited to on-site soil impacts, it is unlikely that they will affect
the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment.
The FirstSearch database search also identified five UST/AST sites along nearby Port
Washington Road. They are shown on Figure 26, and are identified below.
According to FirstSearch and WDNR records, three of these LUST sites have been closed and no
further action is necessary (contamination from these sites is unlikely). Closure is pending for
the Kohl’s Food Store site, which suggests that site contamination has been addressed. The latest
correspondence from the WDNR indicates that contaminated soil and groundwater are present at
the Woodfield Suites site (further investigation is required). Assessment of these sites indicates
that they are located at hydraulically downgradient positions, suggesting that releases from these
sites would not affect the nearby Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment.
Several other sites identified by the WDNR as high priority/high risk sites have been identified
in the corridor area (See Figure 29). These consist of the following: 7-Eleven #30501, 6204 N.
Port Washington Road (#293); One-Hour Martinizing, 285 E. Hampton Avenue (#310);
Whitefish Bay Village Garage, 155 W. Fairmount (#311); Amoco Station #19721, 190 W.
Hampton Avenue (#306); Milwaukee Gear Co., 5150 N. Port Washington Road (#308); City of
Glendale Right-of-Way (ROW), Henry Clay and Port Washington Road (#71); Milprint, 4200 N.
Holton (#80), and Kaul Oil, 209 W. Silver Spring Drive (#301). Closure has been obtained or is
pending for the majority of these sites. Restricted closure has been obtained from the WDNR for
the Amoco and Kaul Oil sites, suggesting that residual contamination is present however.
Closure has been denied for the One-Hour Martinizing Site and a remedial investigation is being
completed to determine the extent of contamination at the 7-Eleven LUST site.
Several other LUST sites within the Port Washington Road area have been designated by the
WDNR as being high priority/low risk sites, indicating that the risk posed by these sites is not
severe. Those identified consist of: Clark Oil Station #562, 4751 N. Santa Monica Boulevard
(#307); Spur E-Z Go, 425 E. Capital Drive (#326), 3866-3868 Fratney Street (#317); John
Amato Oldsmobile, 5200 N. Port Washington Road (#305); Knoerr & Fisher, Inc., 3939 N. Weil
Street (#323); Amoco Station #2290, 7010 N. Port Washington Road (#282), and Harter Amoco
Station, 303 E. Hampton Avenue (#312). Closure has been obtained for the Amato, Knoerr &
Fischer, and two Amoco sites. Conditional closure has been obtained for the Clark’s Oil and
Spur E-Z Go sites, indicating that residual contamination is associated with these sites. The site
on Fratney Street is open, indicating that contamination is present at this site.
OTHER SITES: The database information obtained by FirstSearch included the WDNR’s
listing of ERP sites as maintained by the Remediation and Redevelopment Program Division.
This listing identifies non-LUST cleanup sites (updated annually).
The database review identified numerous “Other Sites” located within the project search area,
including several located at or adjacent to the proposed alignments. According to the FirstSearch
database, the following sites are located within the designated 0.25-mile search area.
Other
“Other Sites” identified during the database search are shown on Figures 20, 24, and 28, and
related site information presented in the FirstSearch Database Reports contained in Appendix A.
No “Other Sites” were identified at the evaluated alternative corridors. The four sites identified
within ⅛ mile of the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment are: The Milwaukee Sanitation
Department, 2931 W. Cameron Avenue (#62); MMSD, 4830 N. 32nd Street (#61); N. Josten &
Co., 4905 N. 32nd Street (#60); and Kaiser Property, 4763 N. 32nd Street (#64). Those located

N. Port Washington Road (#40); and Stabelfeldts Flowers and Greenhouses, 1515 W. Silver
Spring Drive (#36).
The following four sites were identified along Port Washington Road:
As noted previously, further investigation is being conducted at the Woodfield Suites site to
address soil contamination from a LUST. Soil contamination is also being investigated at the
FirstStar Development Corp. site. A closure letter has been submitted to the WDNR for the Bay
Shore Mall LUST site.
BRRTS: The WDNR’s BRRTS contains a listing of contaminated sites within the State of
Wisconsin. As part of this assessment, the BRRTS database was accessed and information
regarding those sites located within the study area was compiled. This information is presented
in Tables 1-6, and is further discussed below.
ORPHAN SUMMARY: Due to poor or inadequate address information, the locations of several
sites identified in the FirstSearch are designated with Non-Geocode (GC) and have not been
mapped.
Further effort was taken to identify the location of the orphan sites. This consisted of locating
street intersection information on maps and/or downloading map location information from the
internet. The additional information obtained indicates that the majority of these sites is reported
elsewhere within the FirstSearch database or is located outside of the study area. Others not
previously identified are shown below:

Additional information obtained indicates that the majority of these sites are located outside of
the designated ASTM search radius criteria.
The following summarizes information obtained from the regulatory database review. Tables 1-6
and several figures have been prepared to support discussion focusing on those sites interpreted
to present the most risk to the evaluated corridors. Figures showing the location of WDNR-
designated high-priority/high risk-sites for the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor
(Figure 21), Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor (Figure 25) and the Port
Washington Road Area (Figure 29).
Hazardous Waste Sites. Several RCRA generators are located within the 0.25-mile search area
along the 27th Street and Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridors (includes the
satellite and near surface storage facilities). For the most part, these sites have been designated as
very small or small quantity generators. All such facilities are required to manage hazardous
waste in a manner consistent with state and federal requirements from waste generation and
management through waste characterization and disposal.
Discussions conducted with the WDNR, the Milwaukee County Fire Inspectors Office, and the
City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) did not identify RCRA sites that currently pose
significant environmental risk to the evaluated corridors. Since construction is expected to occur
along existing roads/established corridors, a release of hazardous wastes at an adjacent facility
could, however, adversely affect the project corridor(s), particularly if groundwater quality is
affected.
Spill Sites. Two spill sites were identified within the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment
Corridor and an additional site was noted within the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment
Corridor. According to WNDR file information, the majority of these spills have been addressed
(the sites have been closed by the WDNR). Since these sites are located more than ¼ mile from
the proposed corridor construction areas, it is unlikely that these (or other) spill sites would pose
significant risk to the project area.
Solid Waste Landfills. One state-listed site (the Blue Hole Landfill, 810 E. Capital Drive) (#1) is
located along nearby Port Washington Road. According to the information reviewed by TN&A,
continued groundwater monitoring is being performed at this site.
According to the FirstSearch database, SWL facilities are located within the 0.25-mile search
radii along the proposed corridors. The W. H. Brady Co site (2230 W. Florist Avenue) (#195),
the City of Glendale Landfill (#50), and the Johnson Controls Site (5400 N. Teutonia Avenue)
(#51) are all currently being monitored to assess the extent of environmental impacts. Based on
the information reviewed during this assessment, it is likely that these sites pose significant
environmental risk to portions of the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment (Figure 21, Table 2).
The Schlitz Terminal Landfill Site in Glendale (#27) is considered to pose environmental risk to
the Milwaukee River Sewer Alignment Corridor (Figure 25, Table 4). A dumpsite located in this
same area is also considered to pose an unacceptable risk to the southern portion of the
Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor.
Underground Storage Tanks. The database review identified numerous USTs located within the
project search area. According to information obtained from FirstSearch and the WDNR, no
releases are known to have occurred at any of these sites. Based on this information and current
tank monitoring requirements, it is unlikely that the identified UST sites pose significant
environmental risk to the evaluated corridor alignments. While several USTs are located along
nearby Port Washington Road, the majority of these UST sites are located in positions that
would not be expected to affect the adjacent Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment.
Leaking Underground Storage Tanks. Numerous LUSTs are located within the project search
area including several sites situated at higher elevations that are expected to be hydraulically
upgradient from the project sites. The three LUST sites located on 27th Street and several
additional LUSTs located within ⅛ mile of the 27th Street and Milwaukee River Relief Sewer
Alignments have received closure status from the WDNR. No high priority/open LUST sites
appear likely to pose significant risk to the evaluated corridors.
27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor. Sites designated by the WDNR as high
priority/high risk LUST sites (soil and groundwater contamination) are: Ed Weber, 2727 N. Mill
Road (#156); Munson, Inc., 2737 W. Mill Road (#160); Jefferson Smurfit, 2800 W. Custer
Avenue (#177); Armada Corp, 2487 W. Silver Spring Drive (#169); and Glendale Automotive,
2484 W. Silver Spring Drive (#165)(See Figure 21). All of these sites are closed, with
conditional closure/deed restrictions for the Ed Weber, Armada Corp., and Glendale Automotive
sites (residual soil and groundwater contamination).
Five open LUST sites are located within a ¼ mile from the corridor. These sites are: Hewitt Tire
& Automotive, 2501 W. Silver Spring Drive (#173); Dealers Choice Enterprises Inc., 2525 W.
Silver Spring Drive (#171); Akal Quick Mart #2, 4811 N. Teutonia Avenue (#182); Bentley
Property, 3142 W. Mill Road (#52); and ER Wagner Mfg. Co., 4625 N. 32d Street (#66).
Conditional closure is pending for the Hewitt, Dealers Choice, Bentley, and Wagner properties,
indicating that the contamination at these sites has likely been addressed. A remedial action plan
has been implemented to address soil and groundwater contamination at the Akal Quick Mart
site.
Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment (including Near Surface Storage Facilities). Two
LUST sites, Amoco Station #19721, 190 W. Hampton Avenue (#129), located 0.13 miles from
the corridor axis and Milwaukee Gear Co, 5150 N. Port Washington Road (#38) have been
closed with deed restrictions (on-site soil and groundwater contamination exists at these sites)
(Figure 25). Based on this information, it appears unlikely that these sites would pose significant
environmental risk to the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment.
Three open LUST sites, designated by the WDNR as high priority/high risk LUST sites, are
located within ¼ mile from the corridor. A site investigation at Laidlaw Transit, 5901 N. Glen
Park Road (#122) has identified soil and groundwater contamination (high priority site). The
WDNR has reviewed information regarding the Amoco #19681 site, 6369 N. Green Bay Road
(#114) (contamination investigation not yet conducted). A closure requested has been submitted
to the WDNR for the former Hometown Gas Station, located at 6772 N. Green Bay Road
Hometown site (#121) (on-site soil and groundwater contamination). However, given their
distance from the proposed corridor, none of these sites are believed to pose significant risk to
this alignment.
Five other open LUST sites located along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment
Corridor have been designated by the WDNR as high priority/low risk sites (contamination at
these sites is limited to soil impacts; groundwater is not affected). These sites are: Ameritech
Services, 4349 N. Richards Street (#131); Spic & Span, 4301 N. Richards Street (#44), Laurel
Oaks, 1700 W. Bender Road (#34); Office Max, 5100 N. Port Washington Road (#40); Donahue
Property (#31); and Crestwood Area Projects, 1720-1800 W. Silver Spring Avenue (#30). Since
contamination at these sites is limited to on-site soil impacts, it is unlikely that they will affect
the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment.
Port Washington Road Area. To further assess environmental conditions within the area, the
location and status of LUST sites along Port Washington Road were evaluated. While several
LUST sites are located in the area, WDNR records indicate that they have been closed and no
further action is necessary (contamination from these sites is unlikely). The one open LUST site
identified is the Kohl’s Food Store site (#297) (closure is pending). Restricted closure has been
obtained from the WDNR for the Amoco Station #19721 site located at 190 W. Hampton
Avenue (#306) and the Kaul Oil site located at 209 W. Silver Spring Drive (#301), suggesting
that residual contamination is present. Closure has been denied for the One Hour Martinizing site
located at 285 E. Hampton Avenue (#310), and a remedial investigation is being completed to
determine the extent of contamination at the 7-Eleven #30501 site, located at 6204 N. Port
Washington Road (#293). Local topography and hydrogeology indicates that these sites are
located at hydraulically downgradient positions, suggesting that any releases from these sites
would probably not intersect the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment. Nevertheless, the
presence of these and other LUST sites in the area should be considered during evaluation of the
various alternatives.
Several other LUST sites within the Port Washington Road area have been designated by the
WDNR as being high priority/low risk sites. While closure has been obtained for the majority of
these sites, conditional closure has been obtained for Clark Oil Station, 4751 N. Santa Monica
Boulevard (#562), and Spur E-Z Go, 425 E. Capital Drive (#326), indicating that residual
contamination is associated with these sites.
Satellite Facilities. An additional LUST is located within ⅛ mile of the Estabrook Satellite
Facility. This information indicates that petroleum (or other) releases from this LUST could
affect this site and, therefore, further evaluation of this site is recommended.
Other Sites. The database information obtained by FirstSearch included the WDNR’s listing of
ERP sites as maintained by the Remediation and Redevelopment Program Division. This listing
identifies non-LUST cleanup sites (designated as Other Sites). No non-LUST sites were
identified at the corridor locations. Four non-LUST sites were identified within ⅛ mile of the
27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment, however. Those located within ⅛ mile of the 27th corridor
are: The Milwaukee Sanitation Department, 2931 W. Cameron Avenue (#62); MMSD, 4830 N.
32d Street (#61); N. Josten & Co., 4905 N. 32nd Street (#60); and the Kaiser Property, 4763 N.
32nd Street (#64). Those located within ⅛ mile of the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment
are: Bridgewood Lane Utility, 6081 N. Bridgewood Lane (#29); Laurel Oaks, 1700 W. Bender
Road (#34); Office Max, 5100 N. Port Washington Road (#40); and Stabelfeldts Flowers and
Greenhouses, 1515 W. Silver Spring Drive (#36). Further evaluation of these sites is
recommended.
BRRTS: The WDNR’s BRRTS contains a listing of contaminated sites within the State of
Wisconsin. As part of this assessment, the BRRTS database was accessed and information
regarding those sites located within the study area was compiled. This information is presented
in Tables 1-6.
Orphan Sites: The location of several sites identified in the FirstSearch report as orphan sites
(designated as Non-GC) were evaluated to determine their location and status. According to this
information, the majority of these sites are reported elsewhere within the FirstSearch database.
Further review indicates that the majority of the remaining orphan sites are located outside the
designated ASTM search radius criteria. LUST sites that could not be located appear to have
undergone closure, suggesting that the environmental risk posed by orphan sites to the evaluated
alternatives is minimal.

The dominant hydrological feature in the project area is the Milwaukee River. The river flows
principally to the south from the northern most extent of the project area to just south of Lincoln
Park, then to the southeast to the southeastern most extent of the project area. The river roughly
parallels the Milwaukee River Sewer Relief Alignment. Lincoln Creek crosses the southern
portion of the study area from west to east and discharges to the Milwaukee River in Lincoln
Park. The southern portion of the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment roughly parallels Lincoln
Creek. Several small lakes or ponds are located in the project area principally between the two
corridors. Lake Michigan is located approximately 1-2 miles east of the project area, but is
hydrologically separated from it by a ridge of higher topography.
Information obtained from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicates that a
substantial portion of the land located along the Milwaukee River is within the 100-year flood
zone (Figure 31). Based on visual estimates, it appears that more than 50 percent of the
Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment is within a designated flood zone. The southern part
of the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment is located within the 100-year floodplain.
Information regarding designated wetlands in the project area was obtained from the
Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC). Wetland occurrence
relative to the evaluated alternatives is shown on Figure 33. Based on this information, it appears
that wetlands are located at, or in the immediate vicinity of, the Green Tree Satellite and Surface
Storage Facilities and along the north end of the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment
Corridor. Wetlands are also located near the south end of this corridor, in the Lincoln Park area.
Based on the SEWRPC data, it also appears that wetlands are located along a portion of Lincoln
Creek Parkway, potentially affecting a portion of the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment.
of well-drained soils that have a subsoil of clay loam and are moderately deep, developed over
sand and gravel. These soils are formed on outwash plains and stream terraces (USDA, 1971).
The surface soils in the northwestern portion of the project area belong to the Ozaukee-Morley-
Mequon Association. This soil association consists of well-drained to somewhat poorly drained
soils that have a subsoil of silty clay loam and silty clay and are formed in thin loess and silty
clay loam glacial till on moraines (USDA, 1971).
Bedrock outcrops occur along the Milwaukee River where the river trends southeast (along
approximately the southern ½ mile of the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment) and where
the river crosses the Glendale/River Hills boundary (at the northern end of the Milwaukee River
Relief Sewer Alignment). Relatively thin (less than 50 feet) unconsolidated deposits can be
found in the areas of these outcrops and extending south (from River Hills) along the Milwaukee
River to approximately Devon Street. However, other than this, the thickness of the
unconsolidated deposits exhibits little correlation with surface topography indicating a variable
bedrock surface.
Within the project area, groundwater is shallow with typical depths ranging from 0 to 20 feet
below ground surface (bgs) in the project area (Appendix C). The direction of groundwater flow
within the glacial units commonly mimics local topography with some hydraulic interconnection
between the shallow groundwater system and local surface water features. Shallow groundwater
flows towards and discharges to the Milwaukee River or Lincoln Creek.
Groundwater within the unconsolidated deposits is interconnected throughout the full extent of
the deposits, although semi-confined conditions may exist within or beneath the lower
permeability glacial tills. The sand and gravel deposits would likely exhibit relatively high
hydraulic conductivities, [>10-3 centimeters per second (cm/sec)] while the glacial till deposits
would likely exhibit moderate to low hydraulic conductivities (<10-3 cm/sec). Most of the study
area is mapped as having surface deposits with high hydraulic conductivity (SEWRPC, June
2002), although the northwestern portion of the project area is mapped as having surface
deposits with low hydraulic conductivity (<10-5 cm/sec). Figure 32 illustrates the relative

permeability distribution of near-surface soils in the project area. Based on information reviewed
during this assessment, it appears likely that the unconsolidated deposits are hydraulically
interconnected with the underlying bedrock and that the hydraulic conductivity of the bedrock
varies widely between the different units.
Information obtained from the online City of Milwaukee tax assessor website (http://www.ci.mil.
wi.us/citygov/assessor/assessor.htm) was reviewed to determine past and present land uses at
properties located in the alignment corridors. Information from the City of Glendale tax records
was also reviewed. Since property acquisition was not the focus of this assessment, no title
records were reviewed at this time. Such activity will be appropriate if property acquisition does
occur.
The reported assessment value for a representative number of properties located along each
alignment was obtained and reviewed during this ESA to identify potentially blighted property
with associated environmental issues. In summary, three properties on the 27th Street Relief
Sewer Alignment Corridor, one property on the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment
Corridor, and at least six properties located along Port Washington Road have substantially
lower property values compared to adjacent properties. Further evaluation of these sites should
be performed to assess whether contamination is present at these sites, and if they pose
significant environmental risk to the evaluated alternatives.
Since the focus of this assessment was to assess the affect that environmental sites may have on
construction activities along specific alignments (rather than property acquisition), no effort was
made to review property assessments or title records for adjacent properties. If property
acquisition is performed, further evaluation of ownership information should be performed,
especially for industrial properties that have the potential to locally affect site soils or
groundwater.
An area immediately east of the approximately ¼ mile northern end of the corridor exhibits
varying types of surface disturbance in the 1963 through 1980 aerial photographs. This area is
nearby (west) of the location noted in WDNR records as the City of Glendale Landfill. None of
the surface disturbance in the photographs indicates ongoing landfilling activities, however.
Possible buildings, or mounds, apparently serviced by an unpaved driveway are seen in the
central portion of this area in the 1980 aerial photograph. In the 2000 aerial photograph, the
entire area has become vegetated except for an unimproved road that partially encircles much of
the area.
No other obvious signs of land use with a potential to exert environmental impacts to this
corridor alignment were noted. The majority of the north-south portion of the corridor alignment

runs through areas of residential and commercial development, while the east-west portion of the
corridor alignment runs through areas of residential development and undeveloped land along
Lincoln Creek and in Lincoln Park.
5.6.2 Other
According to the WDNR report, “The State of the Milwaukee River Basin, August, 2001”
(WDNR, August 2001) the Milwaukee River Basin, Lincoln Creek, and the Milwaukee River
contain elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs), and some heavy metals such as lead and zinc. Fish consumption advisories are in effect
for PCBs in certain areas of the Milwaukee River Basin. The report specifically mentions that
PCB-contaminated sediments have been identified in Milwaukee River sediments in the
Estabrook and Kletzsch Parks areas. According to this report, an estimated 5,271 kilograms of
PCB-contaminated sediments exist in the river in Estabrook Park, and an estimate 4 kilograms of
such sediments exist in the river in Kletzsch Park. According to a second report (WDNR, May
2004), approximately 5200 kilograms of PCB-contaminated sediment exist in the Milwaukee
River from the Estabrook Park dam impoundment north to Thiensville.
distressed vegetation, the presence of monitoring wells or past soil boring activity, and other
potential indicators at the project site and adjacent property. Completed Phase I ESA
reconnaissance checklists and representative photos taken during the site reconnaissance visits
are contained in Appendix D.
Representative photos showing land use and the environmental condition of the corridor are
contained in Appendix D. Accompanying field checklists documenting the observations made
during the site reconnaissance are also contained in Appendix D.
Several small businesses are located along the corridor. This includes some manufacturing
entities that have outside storage tanks and container storage areas. Based on information
obtained from the FirstSearch regulatory database review, RECs located along this corridor
include LUSTs and spill sites. Some of the businesses in the area have also been identified as
hazardous waste generators.
No obvious odor or noticeable decrease in air quality was noted during the site reconnaissance.
General land use in the area is shown on Photo 3. Railroad tracks and a transformer field were
observed at the north end of this corridor, near Mill Road (Photo 4). A catch basin containing
dark colored water was also noted in this area. Further south is a mixture of industrial and
residential land use. Outside container storage was noted at the Benz Oil property (Photo 16)(as
noted elsewhere in this report, an open LUST and other discharges are associated with this site).
Shown on Photo 13 is a sanitary overflow location at Villard Avenue. The general condition of
the industrial area at 29th Street and Cameron Avenue is shown on Photo 14. St. Michaels
Hospital, located further south, is shown on Photo 16. A former LUST site (now closed) is
located at the St. Michaels Hospital site.
The site reconnaissance along this alignment was conducted on June 24, 2004. A large portion of
this corridor is park land and residential property. Typical land use (residential boulevard) is
shown on Photo 10. The public works buildings are shown on Photo 11. Storage bins containing
salt and wood chips are present, and a maintenance garage was noted at this location. The
general condition of the Milwaukee River at N. Apple Blossom Lane is shown on Photo 12, and
the condition of the river further south at Silver Spring Drive is shown on Photo 13. It appears
likely that runoff from the road over the curb will be able to enter the river at this location
(possibility of oil, gas, and other pollution to enter the river).
No visual stain or noxious odor was noted during the reconnaissance of the Milwaukee River
Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor. Regulatory database information indicates that USTs and
LUSTs are located in this area. Other information also indicates that a substantial portion of this
alignment is located within a 100-year flood zone.
The Green Tree and Estabrook facilities lie in a mixed residential and park setting. As shown on
Photo 1, the existing MMSD building at the Green Tree site lies in an open area (a designated
100-year floodplain) near the Milwaukee River. Land use in the vicinity of the Estabrook facility
is similar. Drainage at these areas can be expected to drain across the open area, flowing to the
Milwaukee River. At the Green Tree site, TN&A identified an access road to the Milwaukee
River and two manholes labeled 05 and 06 (with a slight septic odor). Two transformer banks are
located on the south side of the MMSD building at this site (Wisconsin Electric #82-U-4138 and
#82-U-4139 (Photo 5). A small out-building is located further west and the entrance into
Kletzsch Park and to the Green Tree site is shown on Photo 8 (Green Tree Road and Milwaukee
River Parkway). No noxious odor, visual stain, or other RECs were identified during the site
reconnaissance.
6.3.4 Green Tree, Humboldt and Range Line Near Surface Storage Facilities
Land use along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor is predominantly
developed as park areas (Kletzsch, Lincoln, and Estabrook Parks) with some residential areas
and essentially no industrial development. Further east, Port Washington Road consists
predominantly of commercial businesses with some interspersed residential. No RECs were
identified at these facilities.
The land area along Port Washington Road consists predominantly of mixed residential and
commercial uses with some park areas and a soccer field across from Nicolet High School and
nearby Estabrook Park (located near the south end of this alignment). A small brick building
located in the cell tower farm was placarded as containing “Hazards.” This building is shown on
Photo 4. An existing pump station located at Marne and Port Washington Roads is shown on
Photo 15, and the North Shore Water Filtration Plant is shown on Photo 6 (view northwest). A
Citgo gas station at Bender and Port Washington Roads is shown on Photo 8. Vent pipes are
located in a primarily residential setting, near the intersection of Lydell and Fairmount Streets.
While no noxious odor or visual stain that might be indicative of a REC was identified during
the site reconnaissance, the presence of commercial development (i.e. gas stations) does indicate
that RECs are present along Port Washington Road. This opinion is supported by regulatory
database information which indicates that LUST sites with known soil and groundwater
contamination are present in the area.
Port Washington Road is a high-traffic area (potential for spills, releases). In addition, review of
regulatory information identified another REC (Blue Hole Dump) located just north of Humboldt
Avenue and Capital Drive. The landfill has been covered and developed as a paved parking lot
for university parking. A fenced retention pond (most likely for parking lot runoff) is located in
this area. Groundwater monitoring wells are located in the area (based on database records
reviewed during this assessment, groundwater impacts are present).
7.0 INTERVIEWS
Interview correspondence is contained in Appendix E and is summarized below.
On August 3, 2004, Mr. Dave Eastman, Director of Public Works for the City of Glendale and
Mr. Richard Maslowski, Administrator for the City of Glendale, met with MMSD (B. Plecash)
and its contractors, Brown and Caldwell (D. Bennett), TN&A (D. Voight), and HNTB
(P. Bielefeld). The discussion pertaining to the Phase I ESA resulted in the identification of two
sites requiring consideration: (1) the previously mentioned City of Glendale Landfill and (2) H.
Brady Technicote Division (landfill). Beyond these sites, City representatives mentioned
ongoing development plans but no other spill or release sites. Thomas Tollaksen, Manager for
the Village of River Hills, was also visited on August 3. While he reported surcharging during
past storm events, no RECs were reported.
On August 12, Mr. Tim Thur, with the City of Milwaukee Public Works, met with MMSD (B.
Plecash), Brown and Caldwell (D. Bennett), and TN&A (D. Voight). As a result of this meeting,
the following potential environmental sites were identified (each was subsequently investigated
as noted below):
2817 W Stark St Closed LUST site (soil contamination only) and historic
spill site. No investigation/cleanup is required.
In addition to the above sites, the development of the new Aldrich Chemical site on 27th Street
was discussed (further review indicates that this site is located south of the area of interest and
does not merit further investigation). No industrial or domestic wells were located within the
project limits.
Paving, water main replacement, and sanitary sewer replacement projects to be completed by the
City in 2005-2006 were also discussed.
On August 13, 2004, the project team met with Ms. Mary Jo Lange, Director of Public Works for
the Village of Whitefish Bay. The Village did not identify any recognized environmental sites or
conditions that would affect the selection, design and construction of the relief sewer alignments
presently under consideration.
Mr. John Hnat, a hydrogeologist in the WDNR’s Bureau for Remediation and Redevelopment
(Southeastern Region) was contacted on several occasions between July 14 and September 3,
2004 to obtain information regarding potential environmental concerns in the area. This included
discussing the current environmental condition of the Kaiser (Tannery) ERP site. Mr. Hnat, who
is primarily responsible for WDNR oversight of contaminant release sites in northern Milwaukee
County, indicated that he was not aware of any sites in the subject area that posed an obvious
environmental threat to off-site receptors. He stated that most of the contaminated sites in the
subject area did not have groundwater contaminant plumes that extended off site. He mentioned
that one site on Green Bay Road (an Amoco Station at 6369 N. Green Bay Road) has an
undefined petroleum plume extending off site towards Kletzsch Park (located to the Northeast).
This site is currently undergoing investigation. To his knowledge, no contaminated sites would
affect the construction at the depths proposed for the Mid-Level and Deep Alternatives.
Mr. Hnat also provided specific information regarding the Kaiser Tannery ERP site (located near
the south end of the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment). He cited the results of a Phase II ESA
prepared by HNTB in 2000 which noted elevated soil contamination (diesel range organics,
gasoline range organics, lead, phenanthrene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylene) and elevated
groundwater metals contamination (barium (1.9 parts per million - ppm), cadmium (0.069 ppm),
and chromium (0.27 ppm)). The WDNR issued a Responsible Party notification letter on July 23,
2004, and the site is still in the investigation phase. Mr. Hnat reported that MMSD found (in
2002) an outfall discharging an oily substance from the Kaiser site into Lincoln Creek, but that
the concentrations (not identified) were found to be acceptable at that time.
Ms. Sharon Gayan of the WDNR was contacted on September 3, 2004 regarding potential PCB
contamination in Lincoln Creek. Ms. Gayan is the Milwaukee River Basin Water Team Leader
in the WDNR’s Bureau of Watershed Management, Southeastern Region. Ms. Gayan stated that
PCBs have been identified in Lincoln Creek sediments at the mouth of the creek (which empties
into the Milwaukee River at Lincoln Park). She indicated that PCB concentrations as high as
300 ppm have been identified in some spots.
Mr. Ted Bosch of the WDNR was contacted on September 3, 2004 regarding potential PCB
contamination in Lincoln Creek. Mr. Bosch is a basin engineer in the WDNR’s Bureau of
Watershed Management, Southeastern Region. Mr. Bosch stated that the WDNR is only looking
for PCBs in the portion of Lincoln Creek to the east of Green Bay Road because the portion of
the Creek to the west of Green Bay Road has been completely changed. He indicated that the
known PCB sediment hotspots are located near the Kaiser building (Lincoln Creek) and in the
Estabrook Park area (Milwaukee River). He also stated that no source has been identified,
although the Kaiser property could be a candidate.
the WDNR indicated that he was unaware of any sites in the project area that posed an obvious
risk to the proposed construction. He stated that groundwater contaminant plumes on the vast
majority of the sites are limited to the individual property boundaries located in the area (not
directly within the corridor) and are confined to the shallow groundwater system (hydraulic
interconnection with the deeper aquifer system is not anticipated).
The greatest potential risk is likely posed by the Kaiser (Tannery) ERP site located less than ¼
mile south of the proposed southern end of the corridor (Site #64 on Figure 20). The Kaiser ERP
site has been identified by the WDNR as a high risk site but does not have an assigned priority. It
has only undergone limited investigation and the nature and extent of contamination have not
been defined. Contaminants in shallow groundwater migrating from this site likely flow east
toward Lincoln Creek. Because the nature and extent of groundwater contamination associated
with this site has not been determined, it has to be assumed that extensive shallow dewatering in
this area (i.e., as can be expected during future construction activities) could induce groundwater
contaminant plume migration. It is unlikely that the proposed construction would have a
significant impact on the PCB contaminated sediments in Lincoln Creek unless such
construction directly disturbs the sediments. PCBs have very low solubilities and high sediment
sorption potential and, therefore, are not likely to form significant groundwater contamination
plumes. Similarly, sediment contamination by PAHs and metals is also not expected to pose
significant risk to the proposed construction activities. Disturbance of contaminated sediments
(such as through ground vibrations from construction activities) could increase the extent of
contaminated sediments or the exposure risk to aquatic organisms. The risk to the northern
portion of the corridor is due to an old landfill (City of Glendale Landfill) located less than 200
feet from this alignment. This risk is somewhat mitigated by the geology and hydrogeology of
the area, which consists of relatively low permeability silt and clay glacial tills. There are few
other contaminated sites along the northern portion of the corridor.
The central portion of the corridor is judged to have a moderate risk of being impacted by
contaminated groundwater. There are numerous contaminated sites, including a SWL, along the
central portion of the corridor. However, the landfill is located more than ¼ mile west of the
corridor, and the underlying soils are predominantly low permeability silt and clay glacial tills.
8.2.2 Mid-Level (187- to 198-foot depth) and Deep Alternative (224- to 235-foot depth)
The risk of contaminated groundwater impacts to the corridor for these alternatives is considered
low due to the depths of the proposed tunnels and the relatively low permeabilities of the
overlying strata.
activities) could create a liability issue by increasing the extent of contaminated sediments or
increasing exposure risks to aquatic organisms.
to deeper depths. This would be of particular concern for the mid-level and deep-depth sewer
options. The WDNR has identified improperly abandoned wells, particularly in southeastern
Wisconsin, as a significant threat to groundwater quality in the deeper aquifers. Within the
project area, estimated well densities range from 100 to 400 wells per square mile (SEWRPC,
June 2002).
Construction of the mid-depth sewer option has lower risks of being impacted by contaminated
groundwater, or affecting existing contaminant plumes in a manner that would result in increased
environmental liability. A higher proportion of low permeability glacial sediments and the
greater likelihood the sewer will be located in low permeability bedrock limits the potential for
hydraulic interconnection between the construction zone and shallower contaminant plumes.
Construction of the deep-depth sewer option has the lowest risk of being impacted by
contaminated groundwater or affecting contaminant plume migration. Tunnel construction would
likely occur in low permeability Silurian formations that would limit interconnectivity with
shallow groundwater contaminant plumes.
Construction of the mid-depth sewer option has low to moderate risks of being impacted by
contaminated groundwater or of affecting the conditions of existing contaminant plumes
potentially resulting in environmental liabilities. This risk is highest along the southern portion
of the corridor where several landfill sites were identified. Shallow, permeable bedrock in this
location would enhance the interconnectivity between shallow groundwater and groundwater at
the construction depth.
Construction of the deep-depth sewer option has a lower risk of being impacted by contaminated
groundwater or affecting contaminant plumes that could result in environmental liabilities.

Tunnel construction would likely occur in low permeability Silurian formations that would limit
interconnectivity with shallow contaminated groundwater.
The risks of encountering contaminated soil or groundwater at the Green Tree Facility location
are considered low due to the lack of any identified, nearby contaminated sites. It is considered
unlikely there are any such sites given the proposed facility’s location in the Milwaukee River
Parkway. Perhaps the most significant finding is that the site is located within a floodplain and
probable wetland area.
The risks of encountering contaminated soil or groundwater at the Estabrook location are
considered moderate to high because of the history of landfilling in this area. The proposed
facility is located between two large known landfills and may be located in an area of historical
landfill.
9.5 Green Tree, Humboldt and Range Line Remote Near Surface Storage
Facilities
The risk of encountering contaminated soil or groundwater at the Green Tree Facility and Range
Line locations is considered low due to the lack of any identified, nearby contaminated sites. It is
considered unlikely there are any such sites given the proposed facility’s location along the
Milwaukee River Parkway.
The risk of encountering contaminated soil or groundwater at the Humboldt location is moderate
to high because of the history of landfilling in this area. The proposed facility is located in the
vicinity of two landfills and may be located in an area of historical landfill
10.0 OPINION
In TN&A’s professional opinion, known or suspected RECs are located adjacent to the project
area. Further evaluation of their potential significance is provided below.
Local residents receive basic utility services (i.e., gas, electric, phone) and are served by
municipal water and sewer. The potential exists, however, that private potable water supply
wells are located in the area. It is possible that high capacity industrial wells in the area may
affect contaminant plume migration.
Several hazardous waste generators, solid waste facilities, UST sites, spill sites, and LUSTs are
located in the project area. Information obtained during this assessment indicates that soil and
groundwater contamination is present at areas within the 27th Street and Milwaukee River Relief
Sewer Alignment Corridors, and could potentially affect future construction activities.
Portions of the project area are situated within a 100-year floodplain. Wetland-type vegetation is
locally present along the Milwaukee River Relief Sewer Alignment (and at the Green Tree site).
Such conditions could affect this project and should be considered during the evaluation of
design alternatives.
11.0 CONCLUSIONS
11.1 Conclusions
A Phase I ESA was performed in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice
E-1527 of the project area, located within the City of Glendale, Wisconsin, and parts of the
adjacent cities of Milwaukee, Whitefish Bay, and River Hills. Any exceptions to, or deletions
from, this practice are described in Section 4 of this report. This assessment has revealed
evidence of several RECs in connection with the proposed sewer construction corridors. The
relative risk posed by these RECs to proposed sewer construction activities varies depending on
the depth of the proposed option. The environmental risks consist of two types: 1) encountering
contaminated soil or groundwater during sewer construction activities, which may require
special construction, material handling, and material disposal procedures, and 2) potential
environmental liability stemming from alteration of the conditions of existing groundwater
contaminant plumes or contaminated sediments in nearby water bodies resulting in impacts to
previously non-impacted property or sensitive receptors.
11.2 Recommendations
Based on the above findings, TN&A recommends the following:
Project Area
One general recommendation for consideration is to identify abandoned and active groundwater
supply wells in the project area for the purpose of evaluating the potential that they may be
impacted by the proposed construction activities or act as a conduit for the migration of
contamination under the subsurface conditions created by the construction activities. Other
recommendations for each alignment under consideration are presented in the table below that
summarizes specific sites that were identified with RECs that may pose a significant threat to
work along the proposed corridors. However, additional information may eliminate some of
these sites or may identify other sites.

Port Washington Road Relief Sewer Project – Phase I ESA Report
To further evaluate potential environmental issues associated with the shallow-depth sewer
option, it is recommended that a Phase II ESA be completed if this alternative is selected for
implementation. The goal of this assessment is to further characterize groundwater conditions
between the proposed sewer alignment and existing sites of known groundwater contamination.
Investigation should be conducted for landfill facilities up to ½ mile from the proposed sewer
and up to ⅛ mile for all other identified sites with constituents in groundwater at levels above
WDNR Chapter NR 140 Wis. Adm. Code Enforcement Standards. Because additional
information may become available between the publication of this report and the time the Phase
II ESA is conducted, an updated review of WDNR records should be conducted to confirm
which sites warrant assessment.
A Phase II ESA may not be necessary for the mid-depth sewer option except for the southern end
of this corridor where the presence of shallow permeable materials and nearby contaminated
groundwater suggests potential hydraulic interconnectivity between contaminated shallow
groundwater and the construction zone. In addition, the potential exists for mobilization of
contaminated creek and river sediments where construction is in close proximity to those water
bodies. Monitoring of sediment conditions in those water bodies during construction may be
necessary. A final determination of whether to conduct a Phase II ESA elsewhere along the
corridor should be made following a more detailed review of subsurface conditions along the
proposed sewer corridor. As noted above, an updated review of WDNR records should be
performed to further assess if any contaminated sites have the potential to impact contemplated
construction activities.
No additional ESA activities are recommended for the deep-depth sewer option.
As noted for the 27th Street Relief Sewer Alignment Corridor, it is recommended that a Phase II
ESA be conducted to assess groundwater conditions between the shallow-depth sewer option and
sites with groundwater contamination if this alternative is selected for implementation.
Investigation should be conducted for landfill facilities up to ½ mile from the proposed sewer
and up to ⅛ mile for all other identified sites with groundwater quality exceedances above
WDNR NR 140 Enforcement Standards. In addition, the potential exists for mobilization of
contaminated creek and river sediments where construction is in close proximity to those water
bodies. Monitoring of sediment conditions in those water bodies during construction may be
necessary. It is also recommended that further review of WDNR records be performed to
confirm the scope of Phase II ESA activities.
For the mid-depth sewer option, a Phase II ESA may not be necessary. However, a final
determination should be made following a more detailed review of subsurface conditions along
the proposed sewer corridor. An updated review of WDNR records should also be performed to
evaluate whether any contaminated sites having the potential to impact sewer construction
activities are located in the area.
No additional ESA activities are recommended for the deep-depth sewer option.
Significant portions of this corridor are located within the 100-year floodplain and are probable
wetland areas. Given this possibility, alternatives considering the acreage and type of wetland
that may be impacted during construction should be evaluated. Applicable permits must be
obtained from the appropriate agencies before any construction activities are initiated within
delineated wetland areas.
No additional ESA activities are recommended for the Green Tree Facility location.
A Phase II ESA should be conducted at the proposed location of the Estabrook Facility to assess
the potential presence of contaminated soil or groundwater or landfill materials if this alternative
is selected for implementation. In addition, the potential exists for mobilization of contaminated
river sediments if construction is in close proximity to the Milwaukee River. Monitoring of
sediment conditions in those water bodies during construction may be necessary.
As noted above, portions of the Green Tree and Estabrook Remote Treatment Facilities are
located within the 100-year floodplain, and possible wetland areas. Further evaluation of the
affects that such occurrences may have on construction activities should be performed.
Green Tree, Range Line, and Humboldt Remote Local Near-Surface Storage
No additional ESA activities are recommended for the Range Line location. Due to landfill
presence, further review of the condition of the Humboldt site is recommended to assess the need
and scope for any subsequent Phase II ESA activities if this alternative is selected for
implementation.
As noted above, portions of the Green Tree and Estabrook Remote Treatment Facilities are
located within the 100-year floodplain and possible wetland areas. Further evaluation of the
affects that such occurrences may have on construction activities should be performed.
Other Recommendations
• Reviewing the assessed values of properties along each alignment identified potentially
blighted property with associated environmental issues. Further evaluation of these sites
should be performed to assess whether contamination is present at these sites and if they
exert significant environmental risk to the evaluated alternatives.
• Integrating additional data obtained during subsequent investigation into the overall selection
of the final design alternative.
• Utilize appropriate safety and health protocols during construction. This includes monitoring
site conditions during construction activities and taking the appropriate action should any
unusual or noxious odor or staining that might be indicative of environmental contamination
be encountered.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN
February 12,2004
The large crack, approximately 100 feet long and as much as one inch wide that was observed
on the north side of the parking lot during 2002 cap inspection has not been repair. In addition,
numerous other cracks in the pavement appear to have developed over the past year. These
cracks should be repaired using the appropriate methods and materials.
The slopes of the riverbank were fully vegetated. The riprap barrier at the river's edge appeared
to be in good condition.
Graef Anhalt Schloemer (GAS), who was responsible for performing the groundwater sampling
in 2003, reported no significant changes in the groundwater conditions.
As reported in the 2002 Inspection Report, two of the monitoring wells MW-2R and MW-10,
apparently had shifted and are no longer able to be sampled. Although monitoring well MW-
10A was also reported to be shifting, it was sampled in 2003. It is my understanding that Mike
Zillmer (WDNR Project Hydrogeologist) was notified as to the condition of these three wells.
The gas monitoring points were last sampled on December 5, 2004. The GAS sampling
technician reported the stick up well casings to be in good condition.
Of the seven monitoring points, only GP-3 indicated the presence of methane gas (December -
2.0% of LEL). Since 1999, the concentrations in GP-3 have been variable, although there has
been a downward trend over the last two years. Methane gas monitoring results for 2003 are
enclosed with this report.
Drainase Areas
There are four primary surface drainage areas on or adjacent to the MSW waste area:
The area immediately surrounding the inlet side of pond discharge pipe showed signs of minor
erosion. It is recommended bentonie chips be placed around the pipe and in the voids of the
riprap to prevent further damage to this area.

Remedial Activities Effectiveness
Based on review of field and analytical data, there have been no significant changes observed
in the methane gas and groundwater conditions during 2003.
No changes were made to either the methane gas or groundwater monitoring systems in 2003.

RE: Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring Data for the Former City of Glendale Sanitary
Landfill (License No. 01 121). Milwaukee County, Wisconsin -- STS Project No.
84073XF
Enclosed, please find the turnaround documents (TADS) for the field and analytical
testing for the September 1995 sampling round for the former City of Glendale Sanitary
Landfill (License No. 0 1 12 1, facility I.D. No. 24 1206900) in Milwaukee County,
Wisconsin. Please be advised that there were several exceedances of the Preventive
Action Limits (PALS) and Enforcement Standards (ES) for the Public Welfare Standards,
and exceedances of the PALs for public Health Standards based on the September 1995
sampling round. This letter serves as notice of the exceedances as required in Wisconsin
Administrative Code NR140.24 and NR140.26. A brief discussion of the analytical test
data follows.
The samples were collected on September 25, 1995 stored on ice in coolers and
forwarded to Enviroscan, Inc. Analytical Testing Laboratory in Rothschild, Wisconsin,
for the appropriate testing as specified in the WDNR Conditional Groundwater
Monitoring Plan approval dated October 20, 1992. You should be aware that the
number of parameters analyzed was reduced for this round of sampling in accordance
with the Conditional Approval. No VOCs were analyzed, as they were only required for
the first four (4) rounds of sampling (Condition 5(e)). Only those parameters, with the
exception of the VOCs as noted above, detected above the PALs or ESs for the Public
Health and Public Welfare Standards for any of the initial four rounds of sampling in the
individual wells or piezometer were tested (Condition 5(d)). Tables 1 and 2 provide a
listing of the various parameters detected for each of the wells (W-01 through W-04) and
the sole piezometer (P-05) for the Public Health and Welfare parameters tested,
respectively and are coded to indicate PAL and ES exceedances. The tables have been
updated to reflect the most recent changes in the PALs and ESs promulgated in August
of 1995 and coded to indicate PAL and ES exceedances. The tables show the results
from the initial sampling performed in December of 1992, as well as the March 1993;
June 1993; September 1993; December 1993; March 1994; June 1994: September 1 994;
December 1994; March 1995; June 1995 and September 1995 sampling rounds.
The field and analytical test data from September 1995 is generally consistent with the
previous eleven rounds. The groundwater level information suggests that the direction of
STS Consultants Ltd.
Consulting Engineers
groundwater flow is northeast. The analytical data suggests that the data is
representative, as the concentrations of contaminants detected in each of the wells are
reasonably consistent between the twelve sampling rounds. However, the data is
inconclusive with regard to the distribution of affected groundwater when the upgradient
and downgradient wells are compared. Furthermore, the analytical data does not
indicate any trends in further groundwater quality degradation. Instead, the data is
generally consistent between sampling rounds.
Due to our concern of analyzing fluoride by newly approved EPA method 300.0
resulting in the ES exceedances and the blind check sample STS submitted, the
laboratory analyzed the September 1995 samples for fluoride with matrix spikes
according to both methods, method SM 4500F-E and EPA method 300.0. Through this
evaluation, the laboratory determined that a positive interference in the sample matrix
was resulting in biased results using EPA method 300.0. Accordingly, the fluoride
results in Table 1 for the June 1995 sampling round have been flagged as biased high.
The interference can be resolved if the operating parameters of EPA method 300.0 are
modified. Consequently, the laboratory informed STS that "EPA method 300.0 will not
be used for samples of this type in the future."
We will keep you informed of the project progress. Should you have any questions with
regard to the information provided above, please feel free to contact us at your
convenience.

GROUNDWATER MONITORING PLAN FOR THE
FORMER CITY OF GLENDALE SANITARY LANDFILL
GLENDALE, WISCONSIN
1.0 Introduction
The City of Glendale presently owns a 15 acre parcel, which was formerly used as a
sanitary landfill. The site is located west of N. Baker Road. and extends to the north
and south of the W. Bender Road extension, in Glendale, Wisconsin. The approximate
site location is shown on Figure 1. The landfill was active from the late 1960's through
the mid 1970's. The facility was closed and properly abandoned in the late 1970's.
In the early 1980's. the City intended to develop the parcel for recreational use, by the
construction of several athletic fields. Clean fill was imported to the site to establish the
final site grades. However, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR)
considered this action to constitute a violation of the closure plan, and ordered the City
to cease any further filling activities.
This groundwater monitoring plan has been prepared as part of the WDNR's closure
plan modification. The purpose of the groundwater monitoring program is to evaluate if
the former landfill is impacting the quality of the area groundwater. This document will
discuss the history of the site, and the regional and local geologic setting. The proposed
upgradient and downgradient groundwater monitoring well locations will be discussed, as
well as the rationale for the selection of each well location. In addition. a discussion of
the proposed groundwater sampling and testing programs is provided. Following review
and approval of this plan by the WDNR, the City of Glendale will implement the plan at
the former landfill facility.

The City of Glendale's abandoned landfill facility is located to the north and south of the
W. Bender Road extension, west of North Baker Road, in the City of Glendale,
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin (NW114 of the NW114 of Section 30, Township 8N,
Range 22E). The facility was originally licensed on October 30, 1970 (license No.
1121). The facility operated through the mid 197OYs,and was closed on September 30,
1976.
The primary contact for the landfill is Mr. Richard E. Maslowski, the Administrator for
the City of Glendale. He can be reached by telephone at 414-228-1730. He can be
reached by mail at the following address:
Approximately 18 acres were originally licensed for landfill use. The city currently owns
approximately 15 acres of this original area. Two portions of the original landfill site
were sold by the City for development (Figure 3). A two-acre parcel of the originally
licensed landfill is currently owned by the Northern Landscape Contractors. This parcel
is located near the southeast comer of the landfill site. In addition, a one-acre parcel of
the originally licensed landfill is currently owned by Waste Management. This parcel is
located near the southwest comer of the landfill site.
The available data indicates that the former landfill contained 8 cells; Cell Nos. 1
through 7, and a cell termed old dump. The approximate cell locations are shown on
the attached Cell Location Diagram (Figure 2). As noted on Figure 3, a portion of Cell
No. 7 appears to extend onto a portion of the property currently owned by the Northern
Landscape Contractors. In addition, a portion of the "dump area" appears to extend
, onto a portion of the Waste Management property.

9 The cells were used for the disposal of municipal waste. There are, however, no tippage
records for the cells. It is our understanding that the refuse was placed in the cells in
lifts, and that soil cover was placed over subsequent lifts. The cells were not lined prior
to the placement of the waste. The cells were abandoned by covering the cells with
approximately 3 to 5 feet of clay fill. None of the cells are currently active. The
approximate dates that the cells were active are provided below.

The volume of refuse in each of the cells was estimated by subdividing the cells into
geometric shapes for which volumes could be readily calculated. The exterior plan
dimensions of the cells, the cell base elevations. and the final ground surface elevations
after the cells were closed were obtained from the "Plan of Sanitary Landfill" prepared
by Nienow Engineering Associates dated September 1 1 , 1975. A copy of this plan is
attached in the Appendix F (Plan No. I). This plan did not, however, indicate the
original base elevation of the "old dump" cell or the final ground surface elevation of
Cell Nos. 6 and 7 after they had been closed. The final ground surface elevation for
Cell Nos. 6 and 7 was determined from a topographic survey of the site prepared by
Nienow Engineering dated November 3. 1989. A copy of this plan is provided in
Appendix F (Plan No. 2).
No information was available regarding the original base elevation of the "old dump"
cell. For our analysis, we assumed that the base elevation of the "old dump" cell was at
approximately the same elevation as the average base elevation of the other cells in the

3 area. The base elevation of the other cells in the area ranged between elevation 43.9
and 50.2 feet. Accordingly, the base elevation of the "old dump" cell was assumed to
be elevation 46.0 feet.
The thickness of the refuse in each cell was estimated by comparing the original base
elevation of the cell with the final site grades of the cell area. The clay cap covering the
refuse was included in rhe volume calculations so that a more conservative estimate could
be provided. The estimated thickness of refuse in each of the cells is summarized in
Table 2 below.

For our calculations, we assumed that each cell had side slopes of one horizontal to one
vertical. The volume of refuse along the perimeter of each cell (the area at a 1 to 1
slope) was calculated by multiplying the area of the perimeter by one half the refuse
thickness. The volume of refuse in the interior of each cell was determined by
multiplying the the area of the interior by the refuse thickness. A summary of the
estimated area of the perimeter and interior of each cell, the estimated volume of refuse
contained in the perimeter and interior of each cell, and the total estimated volume of
refuse in each cell is provided in Table 3.

TABLE 3
As discussed in Section 2.4, GEA constructed four groundwater monitoring wells on the
Packaging Specialties site, immediately adjacent to the southeast comer of the former
landfill site. The approximate well locations area shown on GEA's BoringIWell
Location Diagram contained in Appendix E. Because GEA conducted a longer term
groundwater monitoring program than Poeschl. GEA's water information was considered
a more reliable indication of the groundwater levels and flow direction. These wells
were constructed on May 4, 1989 and May 5. 1989. Water levels within the wells were
then measured on May 6, 1989 and May 16, 1989. The results of GEA's groundwater
monitoring program indicated that the local groundwater table is on the order of 7 to 9
feet below the site grade and flows in a southeasterly direction. The level of the
groundwater table will, however, fluctuate seasonally due to variations in precipitation,
e<apotransporation, surface water runoff, etc.

Dear Rey:
WDNR RESPONSE: The full sentence should read as follows: 'The facility is a
generator of at least 1000 kglmonth of non-acutety hazardous waste and 1 kglrnonth
of acutely hazardous 'waste.
EPA COMMENT: Figure 3-1 Please mark your soil sample locations with the
appropriate ID numbers.
WDNR RESPONSE: A copy of figure 3-1 is provided with this'finalization with the
appropriate ID numbers included.
EPA COMMENT: At this time based on the information presented, EPA does not
agree with the ESI designation given to this site. There are very few targets for the
groundwater pathway, there is no surface water pathway, and you would need at least
a score on the soil exposure pathway in order for the accumulative score for the site
to exceed 28.5. EPA does not feel that a score of 57 is possible.
WDNR RESPONSE: WDNR agrees that an ESI designation is inappropriate for this
site.
EPA COMMENT: The facility is being designated a No Further Remedial Action
Planned at this time.
WDNR RESPONSE: WDNR agrees with the NFRAP designation given to the site at
this time.
In addition to these comments, WDNR would like line 11, section 2.2, page 3- "To the
north across Teutonia Ave...."to be changed to read "To the west across Teutonia
.
Ave.. .'
Enclosed is the Final SI Report title page and cover. This SI Report is now considered
finalized. Ifyou have any further comments, please contact Bill Ramsey at (608) 267-
7559.

The SSI included: interviews with WDNR personnel assigned to the facility and
current site owners; file reviews; a reconnaissance inspection of the site; and
the collection of five soil samples. The soils were sampled on November 14,
1989. Soil samples were split with a facility representative.
The purpose of an SSI has been stated by U.S. EPA in a directive outlining Pre-
Remedial Program strategies. The directive states: A
The Johnson Controls, Inc. - Teutonia site occupies an area of 1.8 acres
with one building on site.(see Figure 2-3) The building is
approximately 50 years old. It is a two story brick building with
loading dock on the east and west sides. There is a loading port for
liquids o n the north side of the building. There is a small area on the
northwest part of the property that is characterized by overgrown
vegetation-(see photo #1) Along the east side of the building is a set
of railroad tracks. The remainder of the site is paved, there are no
grass or landscaped areas. The site is separated from other
manufacturing facilities to the east and %opTby railroad tracks, and the
south by elevation and a fence. To the m d k across Teutonia Avenue is
Srnith,Park. .The site consists of a small research and experimental
manufacturing facility. The facility has experimental production
facilities and develop new manufacturing equipment.
The site is located in the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4, Section 36, T08N,
R21E, City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin and
corresponds to a latitude of 43 07'05'' and a longitude of 87 57'05" (see
figure 2-1 arid Appendix A). The site is located at 5400 N. Teutonia
Avenue on the northwest side of the City of Milwaukee in an area
which is a mix of industrial as well as residential development. The
site lies approximately 1/2 mile north of Lincoln Creek at .an elevation
of approximately 670 feet, and is situated across .the street from a park.

3 DISCUSSION
7/9/04 Walt Ebersol For landfill sites talk to Frank Schultz (263-8694)
For identifying other sites of potential GW concern talk to Jim
Schmidt (out on vacation until 7/19)
Frank Schultz Best person for official DNR information Jim Schmidt
Mike Zillmer might have some 263-8581 (out today).
Can talk to John Krahling about Schlitz Terminal
John Krahlinn
- Does not recall exactly what Blue Hole landfill site has for ground
water contamination. worked on it 20 years ago. ~ r o b a b l ~ s o mlow
e
level pesticides, chlorinateds, and petroleum. Closure was
conducted by the waste program.
Be sure to ask for PAISI File for file review. Look at well data
specifically (northernmost well in particular). May be MMSD sewer
leak in area.
7/14 John Hnat [Left Message]
He was unable to open the map figure I sent. I tried to describe
where we were looking (the locations of the middle and western
corridors and the approximate depths of the three depth options:
20', 150', and 200-250') and what our concerns were (not drawing
contaminated ground water into the construction area, not altering
the locations of any plumes).
He said for the two deeper options there should not be any effect on
the contaminant plumes in the area.
He said most of the sites with contaminated GW in the area did n o t
have plumes extending off-site.
He mentioned one site on Green Bay Road (an Amoco Station) that
has an undefined petroleum plume extending off-site towards Kletch
Park.
He suggested I try to send the map in a different format.
[I called Dave V. and asked hini to try to send the PDF map]
8/12 John Hnat Asked him about Kaiser Tannery site.
HNTB P2 in 2000 found:
- Elevated soil contamination: DRO, GRO, lead, phenanthrene,
ethylb, tolu, xyl.
- Elevated GW contamination: metals barium, cadmium, chromium.
In MW-2 Cr (270 ppb, Cd 0.069, Ba 1.9 ppm), MW-1 Cr (91 ppb).
- MW-2 depth 20 feet, MW depth 20 feet.
Nothing else done since then.
MMSD found outfall into Lincoln Creek 2 yrs ago, concentrations
were acceptable at that time.
DNR sent a RP letter 7/23/04
913 John Hnat [Left message]
John Hnat [Returned my call, called him back] Since I called him they took
down the building.
The oil release was two years ago (same as that referred to above).
He is not aware of any PCBs in Lincoln Creek sediments, would
need to talk to people that deal with sediments.
Do not know what is in the buildings. Nothing- is being
- removed.

They have until September 13 to pull down
There is PCBs in Lincoln Creek sediments at the mouth. As high a s
300 ppm in some spots. Talk to Ted Bosch 263-8623 for further
information
Ted Bosch They are only looking east of Green Bay Road. West of Green Bay
Rd Creek has been completely changed.
The hotspot sediments are in the Estabrook Park area and near the
Kaiser building.
No identified source. Can orlly think of the Kaiser property.
Will do some more looking around and call or send me an email if
finds anything else.

appendage corridor from 27' and Villard heading east to Villard and 12'~, 'Y shaped
2) Milwaukee River Sewer Corridor (approx 2.5 miles) begins at Green Tree Rd and Sunny Pt
Rd, ends at Capitol and Humboldt
3) Lydell Sewer Corridor (approx 5 miles long) begins at Green Tree Rd and Port Washington
Rd, also ends at Capitol and Humboldt
Per our phone conversation, I understand a smaller request could be completed in about 3 days, but
all 3 requests might take a week. TN&A would appreciate it if you could do the research in the order
above and send as each is complete. A block by block check of spills is requested. I would be glad to
give you our account number if the info is too long to fax.
