9. PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT In the Project Development Process for Minor and Major Projects, by steps 4 and 7 respectively, the Preferred Alternative has been selected and the proposed ROW for the project has been determined prior to conducting the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. The Phase II ESA is used to determine the presence or absence of hazardous substances and/or petroleum products on suspect parcels identified in the Phase I ESA. Where contamination is known to exist on a parcel, the Phase II ESA may also serve to identify the nature and extent of contamination. This is determined through intrusive sampling and testing of soils and/or groundwater. The Phase II ESA provides a higher level of confidence about the degree of environmental risk associated with a specific parcel and is based on the parcel's current and historical land uses that were identified in the Phase I ESA. The Phase II ESA will rarely be conducted without having completed a Phase I ESA, since the selection of sampling locations and analytical test methods are based on the findings of the Phase I ESA and the amount of property required for the project. 9.1 Elements of the Phase II ESA 9.1.1 Executive Summary This section must include a brief general description of the transportation project and location. This section should also include a brief discussion of the data evaluation and regulatory interpretation. A brief discussion of the conclusions and recommendations should also be included. 9.1.2 Introduction A discussion of the project location, the nature and purpose of the transportation improvement, and description of the proposed ROW acquisition and construction activities should be provided in this section. 45
9.1.3 Background Information This section should include information of the transportation project area such as the physical setting, general land use, and general geological and regional hydro-geological information. This section should also include a brief discussion of parcels requiring Phase II ESAs, the rationale, and constituents of concern. 9.1.4 Field Activities and Sampling Procedures 9.1.4.1 The State of Ohio's Right of Entry There are two state laws that govern ODOT right and responsibility to conduct any necessary testing for a transportation project. ORC §163.03 and ORC §5517.01 (see Appendix I) allows ODOT and/or their representative to enter a property to conduct necessary testing. Property owner approval to enter a site to conduct the Phase II ESA, while desired, is not necessary. The property owner must be notified at least 48 hours before entering a property but the entry must take place no more than 30 days from the date of the notification letter. The District or the prime consultant is responsible for providing notification to the property owner. Examples of notification letters are presented in Appendix G. If the property owner does not allow access after receiving the notification, contact the ODOT District Environmental Coordinator and/or the prime consultant who will work with the property owner to resolve any issues. On very rare occasions these issues may not be resolved. In these instances, ODOT will review the situation, the reason for the Phase II ESA and any other information to determine the next step for this property. If ODOT determines that the Phase II ESA will be conducted, the consultant will be escorted by law enforcement onto the property to conduct the field activities. This action is a last resort and should not be used unless all other options and/or discussions with the property owner fail. 9.1.4.2 Sampling Methods A discussion of the methodologies used for conducting soil borings and/or installing groundwater monitoring wells must be included. In addition, the proposed number and terminal depth of soil borings must be included. If applicable, methodologies for collecting samples other than soil or groundwater (i.e. water, near surface, sediment, etc.) must also be included. 46
