Recommendations

Regulatory ResponseEnquiries have been directed to the Local Authority's Environmental Health Department regarding the status of the Site in relation to their Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy. A response is still outstanding and once received, will be included in the final version of the report. It should be noted this may affect the overall risk assessment and it is advised you review the final version of the report.

Top Level Environmental Compliance1.Builders waste: All piles of builders' waste should be removed by an licensed waste contractor and the burning of builders' waste should stop with immediate effect.

2.Fuel and Chemical Storage: All empty tanks and containers should be removed by a licensed waste contractor. As a matter of best practice all hazardous chemicals/fuels that are to remain on Site should be stored in adequate secondary containment.

3.Drainage: Businesses have a strict duty of care to make sure any waste water with oil and silt is disposed of lawfully. We recommend obtaining a drainage plan for the Site, confirming the drainage infrastructure and discharge points to the foul or storm sewer network. Particular attention should be drawn to confirm where effluent from the wash bay discharges. If unavailable a drainage survey should be commissioned and any recommendations actioned.

4.Asbestos: Review current documentation held by the landlord for an Asbestos register and management plan. If unavailable we recommend commissioning an asbestos survey.

5.Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): Review current documentation held by the landlord for an EPC. If unavailable we recommend commissioning an EPC certificate.

Understanding this report

The Site Solutions Inspect report is a preliminary risk assessment (Phase1).

The aim of the Site Solutions Inspect is to identify significant potential

contaminated land liabilities and financial risk which may be associated

with the Site. It also provides a top level review of compliance with key

environmental legislation.1

Scope of Works

The agreed scope of works and the data sources included in this assessment are detailed below:

A Site inspection and liaison with the current occupiers of the Site in May 2016;

A review of available current and historical Ordnance Survey maps and other sources of historical information relating to the Site and surrounding area;

A review of information contained within a Landmark environmental data pack and other relevant environmental information held by publicly available databases;

Targeted regulatory consultation with the Environmental Health and Planning Departments, the Environment Agency and the Petroleum Licensing Authority;

A study of the environmental sensitivity of the Site, with reference to the local geological, hydrological and hydrogeological setting;

The derivation of a Conceptual Site Model, identifying potential pollutant linkages and an assessment of the risk and liabilities associated with the Site; and

The provision of an interpretive report, including a qualitative risk assessment and recommendations for any further work which may be required.

Formation of conclusions and recommendations for further work (if required) to include estimated capital expenditure for each material issue identified.

Context of transaction

The Site is being acquired for the inclusion into a Pension Scheme. The Site is currently a car dealership, with an associated garage facility as well as a scaffolding hire yard.

Summary of Findings

Contaminated Land Liabilities

Contaminated Land Liabilities

Risk Comment

None Identified Moderate The south of the Site has been in use as a car dealership with associated servicing and repair facilities since May 2014. Operations ceased in December 2015. Prior to this the entire Site was solely used for body repair of used cars c.1968-2014 with similar operations anticipated during this time.

Most operations are likely to have occurred indoors due to the nature of the work. Hardstanding will act as a barrier and protect the underlying bedrock hydrogeology as well as creating a barrier between site users and the shallow sub-surface soils. In addition, potential sources of contamination have subsequently been removed, or left empty. No obvious spills or signs of contamination were observed on the day of assessment.

An above ground tank leaked c.2013. The direction of the leak reportedly flowed along tarmac. Where it pooled, absorbent granules were laid and subsequently removed from the Site. This would have reduced the likelihood of any contaminants entering the shallow sub surface soils, and therefore into the underlying groundwater. Natural attenuation of any residual contamination since this time would reduce the environmental risk further.

The north of the Site is currently occupied by a builders' yard and has been for up to 10 years. A number of piles of builders' waste were noted in the yard currently occupied by the builders yard. The contents of the waste included brick, tarmac, wood, plasterboard, soil, metal, plastic and concrete. Evidence of ash from burning was also identified.

Contaminants potentially could migrate vertically and laterally from rainfall infiltration, mobilising into shallow sub surface soils and underlying Principal Aquifer. In addition, wind blown ash could settle in the adjacent Canal.

Regulatory Response

Contaminated Land Officer

Enquiries have been directed to the Local Authority's Environmental Health Department regarding the status of the Site in relation to their Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy. A response is still outstanding and once received, will be included in the final version of the report. It should be noted this may affect the overall risk assessment.

Planning Department

A review of the Local Authorities online planning portal reveals one planning application of interest. A summary of this application is as follows:

• Ref: 01/11/201500 for the proposed valet bay extension. This application was granted. No conditions relating to contaminated land was placed on this application.

Risk Assessment

Petroleum Licencing

Enquires were directed to the Trading Standards Officer within Example County Council Trading Standards. A response was received on the 19th April and is summarised below:

• A review of the Local Authority’s records confirm no above or below ground fuel storage tanks have been identified at the Site.

Top Level Environmental Compliance

Compliance Issues

1.Builders' waste: Several piles of builders' waste were located across the yard area in the north, with evidence of ash from burning also identified. The contents of the waste included brick, tarmac, wood, plasterboard, soil, metal, plastic and concrete.

2.Fuel and Chemical Storage: There are a number of bulk storage tanks and small containers which were either containing hazardous chemicals/fuels or were empty. These were associated with the current and former operations of the Site and are detailed as follows:

• Approximately 2,500L tank; empty (formerly containing heating oil) • 950L tank; heating oil• Five 199L drums; engine oil/empty• 90L drainer; empty (formerly containing waste engine oil)• Numerous 1-25L containers; paints, oils, degreasers, thinners, solvents and cleaner• 1000L Intermediate Bulk Container; empty (formerly containing red diesel)

3.Drainage: A wash bay used to valet vehicles was located adjacent north east of the main building. The wash bay was approximately 10m2 with a single drain at the lowest point in the centre. No drainage plan was made available to view during the Site inspection.

4.Asbestos: Given the age of the building, asbestos could be present. No asbestos register was available to review during the site inspection

5.Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): No EPC was made available to view during the Site inspection.

Financial Risk

Financial Risk Risk Comment

Risk Assessment

Contaminated Land Risk and Liabilities

Below is a Conceptual Site Model which explores the environmental risk at the Site. For the statutory definition of contaminated land, a High risk is most likely to represent statutorily Contaminated Land, a Medium risk represents potentially contaminated land and a Low risk represents land which is unlikely to be contaminated.

Potential Contamination Sources

Identified Contamination Sources Associated Contaminants

Location; In South of Site

The south of the Site has been in use as a car dealership with associated servicing and repair facilities since May 2014. Operations ceased in December 2015.

Prior to this the entire Site was solely used for body repair of used cars c.1968-2014 with similar operations anticipated during this time.

A plastic, double skinned c.2,500L above ground storage tank was cited on a steel plinth fixed to a concrete slab, adjacent west to the main building. This tank was formerly used to heat the main building prior to 2014 and contained heating oil. This tank is now empty and has been moved into the north of the Site. Anecdotal evidence suggests this tank leaked c.2013, causing the contents to run in a northerly direction parallel to the main building. Evidence of staining was noted on the concrete slab.

One 950L above ground, single skinned, steel tank containing heating oil is used to fuel a space heater within the workshop. Above ground pipework was noted connecting the tank to the space heater.

Three 199L steel drums in good condition were also identified in the workshop. One contained virgin engine oil and is estimated to be half full. The remaining two were empty. Engine oil would have been used during vehicle servicing.

A 90L waste engine oil drainer was identified in the workshop floor. Waste engine oil would have been syphoned from vehicles being serviced into the drainer.

Two slightly corroded 199L steel drums, formerly used to store engine oil were also located adjacent west of the main building. These are cited directly on crushed hardcore.

The workshop formerly housed a compartmentalised spray booth with two ventilation stacks and associated chemicals in 1-25L plastic containers.

A wash bay used to valet vehicles was located adjacent north east of the main building. The wash bay was approximately 10m2 with a single drain at the lowest point in the centre.

Risk Assessment

Identified Contamination Sources Associated Contaminants

Location; In North of Site

The north of the Site is currently occupied by Worksop Scaffold Hire (Ltd) and has been for up to 10 years. Several piles of builders' waste was located across the yard area, with evidence of ash from burning also identified. The contents of the waste included brick, tarmac, wood, plasterboard, soil, metal, plastic and concrete.

One 1000L Intermediate Bulk Container was identified in a freight container. The tank is currently empty, but formerly was used to fuel a generator for the ancillary office space.

Small quantities of synthetic oil (5-25L) was also noted in the freight container.

The aforementioned empty c.2500L above ground storage tank, formerly used to heat the main building in the north.

Site users The dealership in south is currently vacant.

Groundwater The underlying bedrock geology is the Manchester Castle Sandstone Formation.

The Environment Agency have classified this strata as a Principal Aquifer. These are layers of rock or drift deposits that have a high inter-granular and/or fracture permeability – meaning they usually provide a high level of water storage. They must support water supply and or/river base flow.

The closest groundwater abstraction is 629m east to support wetland water levels. The Site lies with a Source Protection Zone (SPZ) III.

Surface water The nearest surface water feature is a Canal adjacent north.

The closest surface water abstraction is 345m north west for agricultural spray irrigation.

Eco receptors No eco-receptors have been identified within 1km.

Third parties The nearest residential property is located 14m south comprising open garden areas.

Ground workers This assessment is based upon a continued use without redevelopment.

Buildings

/Services

The units appear to be serviced by mains water and electricity. Aggressive ground conditions are not expected to be present at the Site given the historic use.

Comment

The former above ground storage (c.2500L) tank containing heating oil, represents a potential source of contamination. Anecdotal evidence suggests this tank leaked c.2013. The site representative confirmed that the tank was not full at the time of the leak. It is assumed that the Environment Agency were not notified.

A review of the tanks former location identified that it was cited on a concrete slab, with only minor evidence of staining observed. The direction of the leak reportedly flowed along tarmac. Where it pooled, absorbent granules were laid and subsequently removed from the Site. This would have reduced the likelihood of any contaminants entering the shallow sub surface soils, and therefore into the underlying groundwater. Natural attenuation of any residual contamination since this time would reduce the environmental risk further.

The tank has since been moved into the north of the Site and is empty. Therefore the ongoing environmental risk is reduced.

Comment

The former and current body repair depot and car dealership stored bulk volumes of a number of hazardous fuels and chemicals associated with their operations.

No secondary containment, or spill trays were noted during the Site inspection. However, the majority of fuels and chemicals are cited within the main workshop, laid to good quality hardstanding. This will act as a barrier for any contaminants to migrate into the underlying geology. No drains were noted and no staining or evidence of spills and leaks were noted inside the main building.

Two empty 199L steel drums formerly containing engine oil were located outside directly on crushed hardcore. Given that the drums are empty, the source of contamination has been removed.

A wash bay adjacent north east of the main building is used to valet cars. A single drain was noted to collect surface run-off. No drainage plan was made available to view during the site inspection, however the site representative suggested that it discharged direct to fowl.

It is therefore unlikely that the former and current body repair depot and car dealership has resulted in a significant risk of contamination that may have impacted the Site, the health of current and future users or controlled waters. The likelihood of significant impact is not considered sufficient to justify further investigation.

A number of piles of builders' waste were noted in the yard currently occupied by the builders' yard Hire (Ltd). The contents of the waste included brick, tarmac, wood, plasterboard, soil, metal, plastic and concrete. Evidence of ash from burning was also identified.

Contaminants potentially could migrate vertically and laterally from rainfall infiltration, mobilising into shallow sub surface soils and underlying Principal Aquifer. In addition, wind blown ash could settle in the adjacent Canal.

The Site representative confirmed that all builders waste is currently not in use and will be removed from the Site. In addition, burning of waste material will cease with immediate effect.

Comment

A petrol station has been identified adjacent east from c.1959-2016. The Site is currently occupied by a Volvo dealership, with refuelling pumps identified.

However, the majority of the south of Site, nearest to where underground tanks are anticipated to be, is laid to good quality hardstanding. This will act as a barrier for any site users to come into contact with any contaminants in the shallow sub surface soils.

Given the Site is underlain by a Principal Aquifer, there is a potential for contaminants to migrate on Site and for site users to come into contact with contaminants where no handstanding is present to act as a barrier. The Site representative confirmed that they were unaware of any environmental issues with the adjacent Site. Any future issues of contamination migrating on Site from the adjacent petrol station will lie with the owners of the Volvo dealership.

Tabular Summary Explanation

Argyll has carefully selected a range of datasets which are considered appropriate for the intended use of this report. Each dataset is searched to a

set radius from the Site boundary and the tabular summary is divided into different search bands accordingly. If a database is searched and

information is found, then the number of records available are detailed in the table above. If the database was searched and no data was found,

then a zero will be present. If a database was not searched then the abbreviation N/A will be found, indicating this information was not available at

the radius searched.

Landfill Site Information

Registered landfill site boundaries (where available), are shown on the map as a red diagonal hatched polygon and referred to in the map legend as

Registered Landfill Sites. At present no complete national dataset exists for landfill site boundaries, therefore a point grid reference provided by the

data supplier is used for some landfill sites. The point grid references supplied provide only an approximate position, and can vary from the site

entrance to the centre of the site. A point cannot properly define landfill boundaries therefore Landmark constructs a 250 metre or 100 metre

"buffer" zone around the point to warn of the possible presence of landfill. The "buffer" zone is shown on the map as an orange crosshatched area

and is referred to in the map legend as Potential Landfill Buffer.

Local Authority landfill data is sourced from individual local authorities that were able to provide information on sites operating prior to the

introduction of the Control of Pollution Act (COPA) in 1974. Appropriate authorities are listed under Local Authority Landfill Coverage with an

indication of whether or not they were able to make landfill data available. Details of any records identified are disclosed. You should be aware that if

the local authority had landfill data but passed it to the relevant Environment Agency office, it does not necessarily mean that local authority landfill

data is now included in our other Landfill datasets. In addition if no data has been made available for all or part of the search area, you should be

aware that a negative response under 'Local Authority Recorded Landfill Sites' does not necessarily confirm that no local authority landfills exist.

Subsidence Hazards

Information on subsidence hazards is provided by the British Geological Survey (BGS). Information present within 250m of the Site is reported under

Natural and Mining Related Hazards. Due to the level of detail of this data and the complexities of the real world, the BGS recommends a

precautionary approach when using this information and advises taking the worst reading noted for each dataset within the vicinity of a property.

Therefore, Argyll reports the presence of a ground stability or non-coal related mining hazard in the Risk Analysis section based on the highest

reading found within 50m of the Site boundary.
