Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Old Panola Mills Building Batesville, MS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Neel-Schaffer, Inc., Jackson, Mississippi, has performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) in general conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E 1527-05 and 40 CFR 312 “All Appropriate Inquiry” for a portion of the Old Panola Mills Building located at 137 Van Voris Street, Batesville, Mississippi. Approximately 33,000 square feet of the Old Panola Mills Building is scheduled for demolition and is referred to in this report as the property. This assessment revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The original building was built around 1945 as a textile mill. Several additions of similar construction have been added. At the time of the site reconnaissance performed on July 21, 2009, the property was unoccupied and the most recent tenant was Fruit of the Loom. The other portions of the Old Panola Mills Building not designated as the property were leased to Batesville Casket Company, used by the City of Batesville for equipment storage, and other areas of the building were unoccupied. The Phase I ESA included a review of information from regulatory data files as provided by EDR. According to the EDR Radius Map TM with GeoCheck ® Report, the Old Panola Building was listed in the FINDS, UST, AND RCRA-CESQ databases. According to the MDEQ files two underground storage tanks were removed on June 25, 1991. One of the tanks was 10,000 gallons in size and contained gasoline. The second UST was 1,000 gallons in size and contained diesel. A NFA letter was issued on August 19, 1991. Three LUST facilities were reportedly located within approximately 1,000 feet of their property. Descriptions of these facilities are provided in the body of this report. Based on its distance from the property, the site reconnaissance, records review, and interviews, it is our opinion that these sites are not recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Neel-Schaffer, Inc.

Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Old Panola Mills Building Batesville, MS 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose The MDEQ retained Neel-Schaffer, Inc. to perform a Phase I ESA on a portion of the Old Panola Mills Building located at 137 Van Voris Street, Batesville, Mississippi. For purposes of this report, the property is defined as the 33,000 square feet portion of the Old Panola Mills Building that is scheduled for demolition. The purpose of the Phase I ESA was to identify recognized environmental conditions at the property in accordance with ASTM Practice E 1527-05 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process and 40 CFR 312 “All Appropriate Inquiry”. ASTM E 1527-05 defines a recognized environmental condition as…“the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimis conditions that generally do not present a material risk of harm to public health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of the appropriate governmental agencies.” 1.2 Scope of Services The scope of this assessment included the following activities: 1. The results of an inquiry by an environmental professional. 2. Interviews with past and present owners, operators, and/or occupants of the property for the purpose of gathering information regarding the potential for contamination at the facility. 3. Reviews of historical sources, such as chain of title documents, aerial photographs, topographic maps, Sanborn® maps, building department records, and/or land use records, to determine previous uses and occupancies of the property since the property was first developed, or back to 1940, whichever is earlier. 4. Reviews of federal, state and local government records, waste disposal records, underground storage tank records, and hazardous waste handling, generation, treatment, disposal and spill records concerning contamination at or near the property. 5. Visual inspections of the property and adjoining properties. 6. Specialized knowledge or experience on the part of the user (the City of Batesville). 7. The relationship of the purchase price to the value of the property, if the property was not contaminated. 8. Commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the property. 9. The degree of obviousness of the presence or likely presence of contamination at the property, and the ability to detect the contamination by appropriate investigation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Neel-Schaffer, Inc.
