Water, Civil, and Environmental Inc. (WCE Inc.), on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the Gloria Ford Property in Boise County, Idaho. The 142.15-acre property, currently vacant, was assessed to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs) in accordance with ASTM Standard Practice E1527-13 and the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) standard. The assessment identified two RECs: a partially full 300-gallon heating oil aboveground storage tank (AST) and three rusting 55-gallon steel drums potentially containing hazardous materials. Additionally, a de minimis spill of Chevron Duraplex grease was noted. WCE Inc. recommends removing the heating oil and properly disposing of the contents of the steel drums and the spilled grease before the demolition of structures on the property.

Atlas Technical Consultants LLC (ATLAS) conducted an asbestos survey at the former Gloria Ford Residence in Garden Valley, Idaho, prior to its demolition. The survey identified several Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM), including joint compound, surfacing layer on greenboard wall backing, smooth texture on drywall ceilings, and orange peel texture on drywall, all with 2% Chrysotile asbestos. ATLAS recommends point count analysis for better quantification due to the asbestos levels being near the regulatory limit. The report details the categories of asbestos-containing materials as per the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Asbestos Final Rule, emphasizing the need for special abatement methods for Category II and Regulated Asbestos Containing Materials (RACM) during renovation or demolition. The survey acknowledges limitations, such as not sampling wiring and the impracticality of assessing flooring due to dirt, and advises that a NESHAP Competent Person be on-site during demolition for newly discovered ACM. The document includes a detailed bulk sample analysis report with sample types, locations, and asbestos fiber percentages.

Water, Civil, and Environmental Inc. (WCE Inc.) conducted a hazardous materials survey on the Gloria Ford Property in Boise County, Idaho, on July 19 and August 18, 2021. The survey identified various hazardous materials, universal wastes, and toxic wastes, including mercury thermostats, fluorescent lights, PCB ballasts, CFC-containing refrigeration units, smoke detectors, propane containers, hazardous liquids, and vehicle batteries. A 1996 landslide partially buried two 55-gallon drums, preventing full assessment, and may have concealed other hazardous materials. Unlabeled liquid containers were also found. WCE Inc. recommends the removal and proper disposal of all identified hazardous materials before demolition. Additionally, the buried drums and unlabeled containers require unearthing, characterization, and proper disposal.
