Limited Environmental Site Assessment • Sparkle Pool & Eugene Brown Properties Ramsey, Minnesota PROPERTY INFORMATION, OBSERVATIONS AND DATA REVIEW Sparkle Fool Sparkle Pool is located at 14105 Azurite Boulevard in Ramsey, Minnesota. The property has been owned by Mr. John DeKok since 1990. According to Mr. DeKok's records he purchased the property and building from a Mr. Kemp in 1990 and previous to that rented space from Mr. Kemp from 1988 to 1990. Mr. Kemp built the existing building in 1984 and used it for woodworking including construction wood cabinets. Previous to 1984 Mr. Dekok thought the property was vacant and undeveloped however, we have no evidence to support that. According to Mr. DeKok, Sparkle Pool is in the business of swimming pool water quality maintenance. They house soda ash for softening water and Liquified Chlorine Gas for disinfecting swimming pool water. The site contains a domestic well and a septic tank and drainf eld. According to Mr. DeKok they consume the water from the well and the water is potable. We conclude that it is unlikely that the previous and current activities on this property could have created a recognized environmental condition. We have attached to the back of this report a Phase I ESA Questionnaire containing Mr. • DeKok's responses, Eugene Brown Eugene Brown's property is located at 14220 Basalt Street in Ramsey, Minnesota. The property has been owned by Mr. Brown since 1977 and was previously undeveloped, however we have no evidence to support-that. Mr. Brown's business consists of purchasing and selling various combustion engine equipment and collectors items such as tractor buckets and he has performed some engine maintenance on tractors, mowers, etc. The property is hooked up to electric and natural gas utilities. No domestic well or septic system and drainfieid exist on the property. The property contains one building and is of slab on grade construction and steel construction above grade. The floor contains a long thin opening in the floor slab and several small diameter pvc pipes which, according to Mr. Brown was installed for future hook up to sanitary sewer but, never happened. The pvc pipe evidently takes a turn to the south and terminates below the concrete apron on the south side of the building. The soils within the floor opening consisted of sand and gravel and no staining was noticed. Mr. Brown contends that no engine oil, petroleum products or hazardous materials have ever been dumped on the site from site activities. We conclude it is unlikely that the previous and current site activities on this property could have created a recognized environmental condition. We have attached to the back of this report a Phase I ESA Questionnaire containing Mr. Brown's responses. • -73-
