PROJECT SUMMARY Community The site is composed of six vacant parcels, including five that are located downtown in the City of Hayden and along the connecting highway This rural area has been chal- lenged by environmental and economic issues. EPA places a high priority on providing Brownfields technical assistance and other support to such communities. Property Information The northern parcel of the property housed a former laundromat, bar and car wash. The property's central parcel housed a clothing store, basketball court and an exist- ing structure formerly used as a movie theater. The southern portion of the property housed a former auto repair shop and gas station, post office, furniture and appliance store and pressing and cleaning service. Four of the parcels have vacant structures on them. Technical Assistance EPA provides technical assistance to research historic property uses, conduct environ- mental sampling and identify cleanup options and costs. An EPA-funded environmen- tal assessment included conducting a geophysical survey of the property, a hazardous building materials survey and sample collection and analysis of surface and subsur- face soil, indoor air, and sub-slab soil gas samples. Volatile organic compounds were detected in the former automotive repair building, former car wash area and adjacent to the structure that was a former laundromat. The hazardous building materials sur- vey documented the presence of asbestos-containing materials at three of the parcels. No other significant environmental concerns were identified at the property. Recom- mendation: Proposed cleanup alternatives include contaminated building materials abatement or removal, installation of a sub-slab depressurization system to address potential indoor air contamination and limited soil excavation and removal.
