Executive Summary Artspace retained Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. (Bureau Veritas) to conduct an Environmental Hazard Evaluation (EHE) of the Artspace project site (Tax Map Key [TMK] Number: [1] 2-3-003: Parcel 040), located at 1025 Waimanu Street, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii (hereafter referred to as the “site”). Bureau Veritas previously prepared both a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at the site for Hawaii Community Development Program (Bureau Veritas, 2010) and a limited Phase II Environmental Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a). The Phase I ESA identified one Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) and one potential REC both related to potential impacts from historical and adjacent site use. The limited Phase II Environmental Investigation identified limited soil and groundwater impacts at the site, although the investigation was not comprehensive. During the Phase II Environmental Investigation, the soil and groundwater data were compared to the State of Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) unrestricted Tier 1 Environmental Action Levels (EAL) for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential drinking water resource and a surface water body is not located within 150 meters of the site. Because it is unknown if the site groundwater is infiltrating into the City and County of Honolulu storm drain system, the Phase II Environmental Investigation recommended evaluating the use of the HDOH Tier 1 EALs for site where groundwater is not a current or potential drinking water resource and a surface water body is located within 150 meters of the site. The site is the location of a proposed future residential condominium building with first floor retail space. The purpose of the EHE is to document and assess the potential environmental hazards at the site posed by the impacted soil and groundwater. The potential environmental hazards will be used to develop the appropriate soil and groundwater management measures during future construction activities (i.e., the Construction-Environmental Hazard Management Plan [C-EHMP] prepared under separate cover). In addition, following the proposed construction activities, the potential environmental hazards will be used to determine the necessary site use restrictions and institutional controls, which will be identified and managed in the Environmental Hazard Management Plan (EHMP) to be prepared under separate cover. The EHE is based on the soil and groundwater data collected during the Phase II Environmental Investigation. The Phase II samples were collected to determine presence or absence and did not fully characterize or delineate the contamination at the site. Without additional sampling, site workers should not assume soil and/or groundwater are uncontaminated. Based on the analytical results of the limited Phase II Environmental Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a), site soils and groundwater are impacted with petroleum and related constituents. Shallow soils at two site locations, the southeastern half of the site (0.5 to 3.0 feet below ground surface [bgs]) and the western edge of the site (0.5 to 2.5 feet bgs), are impacted with Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Residual Range Organics (TPH-RRO) at concentrations exceeding the Hawaii Department of Health Tier 1 Environmental Action Level (EAL). Groundwater from one of the four monitoring wells, MW-1, located on the western edge of the site is impacted with two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, at concentrations exceeding their respective HDOH Tier 1 EALs. An EHE consists of a multi-step process to assess potential environmental hazards at sites impacted with environmental contaminants. Following this process, several tasks were completed including defining the nature and extent of contamination, identifying Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs), identifying applicable HDOH screening levels for comparison to site data (i.e., targeted HDOH screening levels), and identifying potential environmental hazards.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 vi
Following the HDOH guidance for the preparation of EHEs, the soil and groundwater data collected during the Phase II investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a) were compared to the HDOH Tier 1 EALs to identify COPCs (HDOH, 2013 & 2012). One COPC, TPH-RRO, was identified for site soils. Two COPCs, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, were identified for site groundwater. Based on the current and anticipated future land uses of the site, the following potential receptors were identified for the site:
Future Residents Future Indoor Workers Future Outdoor Workers Future Construction Workers Aquatic Ecological Receptors (for the specific case in which groundwater would be discharged to
surface water after being pumped during potential future construction de-watering activities) Because it is unknown if the site groundwater is connected to the storm drain system, the groundwater analytical results were also compared to the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking water and the nearest surface water body is less than 150 meters from the site. The measured concentrations of the following contaminants exceeded the chronic aquatic toxicity EALs: TPH-RRO, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. However, the measured groundwater concentrations did not exceed the acute aquatic toxicity EALs. It was determined that site groundwater was unlikely to impact aquatic receptors through potential migration to surface water via the storm drain system considering the low contaminant concentrations (i.e., do not exceed acute aquatic toxicity EALs) and the distance to surface water (i.e., expected significant dilution during storm events). One potential environmental hazard, gross contamination, may exist at the site (or may be posed by site soil if transferred off-site), as described below. Soil Potential gross contamination hazards in shallow soils for residential receptors may exist if impacted near surface site soil is excavated and used as uncovered surface soil at this site or another residential site. Re-development plans for the site indicate the entire surface of the site will be covered with the proposed future structure. Potential gross contamination hazards for residential receptors are posed by concentrations of TPH-RRO soil. The HDOH (2012) describes gross contamination as soils having offensive odors, unaesthetic appearance and general resource degradation. Groundwater Potential gross contamination hazards may exist in groundwater that is not a current source of drinking water. Potential gross contamination hazards are posed by two PAH analytes, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. It is unlikely site groundwater would impact aquatic receptors through potential migration to surface water via the storm drain system. Soil Vapor Soil vapor hazards were not identified. However, if additional contamination is encountered during construction activities, soil vapor hazards may need to be reevaluated.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 vii
It should be noted that the site has not been fully characterized or delineated. Therefore, sample results may indicated greater or fewer environmental hazards than are present at the site. Recommendations Based on the results of the EHE, Bureau Veritas recommends the preparation of a C-EHMP to document the requirements and appropriate methods for the proper management, handling, and disposal of impacted soil and groundwater that may be encountered during the proposed development/construction activities at site (Bureau Veritas, 2014c). Once the development/construction activities at site are completed, Bureau Veritas recommends that an Environmental Hazard Management Plan (EHMP) be prepared to document the requirements and appropriate methods to manage the potential environmental hazards at the site over the long-term. Bureau Veritas also recommends that HDOH be notified immediately if field observations during construction indicate the magnitude or extent of contamination is greater than expected.

1.0 INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND, AND PURPOSE Artspace retained Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. (Bureau Veritas) to conduct an Environmental Hazard Evaluation (EHE) of the Artspace project site (Tax Map Key [TMK] Number: [1] 2-3-003: Parcel 040), located at 1025 Waimanu Street, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii (hereafter referred to as the “site”). A Site Location Map showing the general location of the site is presented on Figure 1. 1.1 BACKGROUND Bureau Veritas previously prepared both a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at the site for Hawaii Community Development Program (Bureau Veritas, 2010) and a limited Phase II Environmental Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a). The Phase I ESA identified one Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) and one potential REC both related to potential impacts from historical site use and adjacent site use. The limited Phase II Environmental Investigation identified limited soil and groundwater impacts at the site, although the investigation was not comprehensive. 1.2 PURPOSE The purpose of the EHE is to document and assess the potential environmental hazards at the site posed by the impacted soil and groundwater. The potential environmental hazards will be used to develop the appropriate soil and groundwater management measures during future construction activities (i.e., the Construction-Environmental Hazard Management Plan [C-EHMP] prepared under separate cover). In addition, following the proposed construction activities, the potential environmental hazards will be used to determine the necessary site use restrictions and institutional controls, which will be identified and managed in the Environmental Hazard Management Plan (EHMP) to be prepared under separate cover. The EHE is based on the soil and groundwater data collected during the Phase II Environmental Investigation. The Phase II samples were collected to determine presence or absence and did not fully characterize or delineate the contamination at the site. Without additional sampling, site workers should not assume soil and/or groundwater are uncontaminated. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The site consists of a 30,000 square foot rectangular parcel of land located at 1025 Waimanu Street, in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, in an industrial business district (Figures 1 and 2, Figures Tab). The site is further described as the parcel of land designated as TMK Number: (1) 2-3-003: Parcel 040. According to the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP), the site is located within the “Kakaako Commercial Development District”. 2.1 PHYSICAL SETTING The site lies in the western portion of the Honolulu Plain physiographic division, on the central southern coast of the island of Oahu. The approximate latitude and longitude of the site are 21° 17’ 45.86”N and 157° 51’ 06.12” W, respectively. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-Minute Honolulu, Oahu, Topographic Quadrangle Map (1998), the elevation at the site is between 5 and 10 feet above mean sea level. The general topography of the site and surrounding region slopes down to the south, toward Kewalo Basin and the Pacific Ocean.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 2
2.1.1 Soils/Geology According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) report entitled “Soil Survey of Islands of Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai” (Foote, D.E. et. al., 1972) the soil type beneath the site is classified as Fill Land soil. Fill Land soil (mapping unit FL) consists of material dredged from the ocean or hauled from nearby areas, garbage, and general material from other sources. This land type is used for developments including airports, housing areas, and industrial facilities. During drilling and sampling activities conducted at the site, the soil encountered immediately beneath the surface consisted of silty clay with varying percentages of basalt and coral gravel clasts, and coral and coral sand. Beneath the silty clay, near the groundwater table a one to two foot thick layer of grey saturated silty clay was observed. Groundwater was present at a depth of approximately 6.5 to 7.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). A hard coral shelf was encountered at approximately one to two feet below the water table. 2.1.2 Groundwater Bureau Veritas reviewed the Aquifer Identification and Classification for Oahu: Groundwater Protection Strategy for Hawaii, Technical Report No. 179, (Mink, J.F. and Lau, L.S. 1990), published by the Water Resources Research Center at the University of Hawaii, for information on groundwater conditions below the site. The report describes two aquifers below the site as part of the Nuuanu aquifer system of the Honolulu sector on the island of Oahu. The upper aquifer is an unconfined basal aquifer of the sedimentary type, occurring in non-volcanic lithology. The status is described as a replaceable, moderate salinity water supply, not used for drinking water or of ecological importance, which has a potential for use. This aquifer has a high vulnerability to contamination. The lower aquifer is a confined basal aquifer of the flank type, occurring in horizontally extensive lavas. Its status is described as an irreplaceable, fresh drinking water supply that is currently in use. This aquifer has a low vulnerability to contamination. The site is located below the State of Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) defined Underground Injection Control (UIC) line. Areas above the UIC line denote potential underground drinking water aquifers. Areas below the UIC line generally denote groundwater that is unsuitable for drinking water purposes. Consequently, the groundwater below the site is considered non-drinking water. The regional groundwater flow direction is inferred to the southwest toward the Pacific Ocean, based on the surface topography. However, topography is not always a reliable basis for predicting groundwater flow direction. The local gradient and flow direction under the site may be influenced naturally by tidal fluctuations, zones of higher or lower permeability, or artificially by nearby pumping or recharge, and may deviate from the regional trend. During the Phase II Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a), depth to groundwater measured from approximately six to 7.5 feet bgs. According to the 1983 U.S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey 7.5 Minute Topographic Map of the Honolulu Quadrangle with the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Water and Land Development Underground Injection Well Overlay, no drinking water wells or other commercial or municipal wells lie with ¼ mile of the site (USGS, 1983). Groundwater at the site is located at a depth of approximately 6.5 to 7.5 feet bgs. It is unknown if groundwater is infiltrating into the City and County of Honolulu storm drain system.

2.1.3 Surface Water The nearest surface water body is the Kewalo Basin harbor, approximately 1,500 feet to the southwest of the site. The Kewalo Basin is connected to the Pacific Ocean near Honolulu Harbor. The storm water runoff from the site flows via sheet flow both northeast towards Waimanu Street and southwest towards Kawaiahao Street. The storm water then discharges into the City and County of Honolulu storm drain system. 2.2 HISTORIC LAND USE According to the Bureau Veritas Phase I ESA report (Bureau Veritas, 2010), Sanborn Fire Insurance maps indicated the site was previously used as a contractor’s storage yard from at least 1955 until 2008. The contractor storage yard was unpaved and aerial photographs indicated heavy equipment was stored on site. Historical usage as a contractor’s storage yard indicates the potential use and storage of petroleum products and other hazardous materials. From 2008 to the present, the site has been a paved parking lot. Reportedly, prior to paving in 2008, fill material was brought onto the site to increase the slope of site and help control surface runoff. The fill material was reportedly brought in from the adjacent Pacifica Condominium site, which is located across Waimanu Street (TMK [1] 2-3-003: Parcel 105). The fill material appears to have been used to increase the grade in the central portion of the site (in the northwest to southeast direction). The site slopes downward from the central area toward Waimanu Street on the northeast and toward Kawaiahao Street on the southwest. It should be noted that the fill material is believed to have been brought onto the site, prior to paving in 2008, when the site was owned by Evershine X. The current owner, Hawaii Community Development Authority purchased the property on or about May 20, 2010 according to the City and County of Honolulu DPP’s website. The Sanborn Fire Insurance maps also indicated the following historical uses on several nearby properties:
The property (TMK [1] 2-3-003: Parcel 043) located adjacent and northwest of the site was labeled as an auto body and paint facility and also showed a paint booth on the 1962, 1972 and 1977 maps.
The property (TMK [1] 2-3-003: Parcel 037) located southeast of the site was labeled on the 1962 map as a chemical and fertilizer warehouse.
The property (TMK [1] 2-3-003: Parcel 059) located south-southeast of the site was labeled Honolulu Laundry and had a dry cleaning facility on the 1955, 1962, 1972, 1977, and 1986 maps. The 1991 and 1993 maps did not show the presence of the laundry, although the dry cleaning facility remained.
2.3 CURRENT AND FUTURE LAND USE The site is currently owned by Hawaii Community Development Authority and is currently paved with asphalt demarcated with parking spaces. The site is enclosed by a chain-link fence and gates, and is currently used for public parking.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 4
The site is the proposed, future location of a residential condominium building with first floor retail space. Specifically, the site is the proposed, future location of a nine level mixed use property that will include commercial, residential, parking, and community use areas. This mixed-use development project is intended to serve the broader Hawaiian Community by developing a traditional Hawaiian Cultural Center with classroom space, space for teaching and performing Hula, music, and other traditional practices, as well as 72 units of affordable multi-ethnic artist housing for Hawaiian artists and their families. 2.4 APPLICABLE ACTION LEVELS The HDOH Tier 1 Environmental Action Levels are published by the HDOH’s Office of Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response (HEER Office). The Environmental Action Level (EAL) applicable to this site are the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs where groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking water and the nearest surface water body is greater than 150 meters from the site (HDOH, 2012). It is unknown if the groundwater at the site, located at approximately 6.5 to 7.5 feet bgs, is infiltrating into the City and County of Honolulu storm drain system. If the groundwater is connected to the storm drain system, it may be appropriate to compare to the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs where groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking water and the nearest surface water body is less than 150 meters from the site. (Please see Section 6.2 Groundwater for further evaluation and discussion). 3.0 INVESTIGATION HISTORY 3.1 PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT (2010) In 2010, Bureau Veritas prepared a Phase I ESA at the site for Hawaii Community Development Program (Bureau Veritas, 2010). The Phase I ESA identified one Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) that was related to historical use of the site, which was located on the site, and one potential REC related to potential impacts from historical uses at an adjacent and nearby properties in the vicinity of the site (Bureau Veritas, 2010). The Phase I ESA revealed the following evidence of RECs, as defined by ASTM, in connection with the site:
Historical research indicated that the site was previously used as a contractor’s storage yard from at least 1955 until 2008. The storage yard was unpaved and aerial photographs indicated heavy equipment was stored on site. Historical use as a contractor’s storage yard indicates the potential use and storage of petroleum products and other hazardous materials. Additionally, vicinity properties identified in fire insurance maps included a drycleaner, chemical and fertilizer warehouse, and auto body and paint shop. These types of facilities are typically associated with the storage and/or usage of hazardous chemicals and materials, with the potential for releases of such materials.
Bureau Veritas recommended conducting a subsurface investigation to assess the presence or absence of impacts from potential releases associated with the findings of the Phase I ESA. 3.2 PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION (2012) In July 2012, Bureau Veritas conducted a limited Phase II Environmental Investigation of the site. The purpose of the Phase II Environmental Investigation was to assess the presence or absence of impacts from historical releases that may have occurred on or around the site. The site was not fully characterized during the limited Phase II Environmental Investigation. A direct push drilling rig was used to (1) advance 16 boreholes for the collection of shallow multi-increment soil samples, and (2) advance four boreholes for the collection of multi-increment soil samples and groundwater grab samples (from
Project No. 17012-012090.00 5
temporary monitoring wells set within the four boreholes). The boreholes are depicted in Figure 3, located behind the Figures tab. Two decision units (DU) were established on the site to investigate the shallow soils for impacts related to the on-site contractor storage yard. The area of each DU measured approximately 15,000 square feet in size. One of the DU areas was established on the northwestern half of the site and the soil sample was designated as sample number UW MI-1. A second DU area was established on the southeastern half of the site and a soil sample was designated as sample number UW MI-2. Samples UW MI-1 and UW MI-2 were multi-increment soil samples comprised of at least 30 soil increments that were collected from the 0.5 to 3.0 feet bgs interval from eight shallow boreholes collected from within each of the established DU areas. No staining or odors were observed within any of the soil samples retrieved from the two DU areas. Two boreholes with temporary groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1 and MW-2) were positioned along the northwest side of the site to assess potential impacts from the former off-site auto body and paint area. Two additional boreholes with temporary groundwater monitoring wells (MW-3 and MW-4) were positioned along the southeast of the site to assess potential impacts from the former off-site chemical and fertilizer warehouse and off-site dry cleaning facility. No staining or odors were observed within any of the soil boreholes. Six multi-increment soil samples were collected from select soil intervals within the four boreholes. Samples were analyzed for TPH, PAHs and VOCs to assess potential impacts from the former off-site auto body shop. Samples were analyzed for VOCs to assess potential impacts from the former paint area. Samples were analyzed for VOCs and PAHs to assess potential impacts from the former off-site chemical and fertilizer warehouse. Lastly, samples were analyzed for VOCs to assess potential impacts from the off-site dry cleaning facility. Temporary well casings were installed in the four soil boreholes to facilitate the collection of a groundwater grab sample from each borehole. Boreholes BH-1, BH-2, BH-3, and BH-4 were converted to groundwater monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4, respectively. The soil and groundwater results were compared to the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential drinking water resource and a surface water body is not located within 150 meters of the site. Analytical results for the multi-increment soil samples are presented in Tables 1 and 2, located behind the Tables tab. Analytical results for the groundwater grab samples are presented in Tables 3 and 4. It should be noted these conclusions are based on preliminary samples, not a full site characterization. Phase II samples were collected to determine presence or absence and did not fully characterize or delineate the contamination at the site. Without additional sampling, site workers should not assume soil and/or groundwater are uncontaminated. Multi-Increment Samples - Shallow Soils in DU1 and DU2 Soil samples UW MI-1 and UW MI-2 were multi-increment samples from the shallow soils of the two DUs established at the site (i.e., 0.5 to 3.0 feet bgs). Total petroleum hydrocarbons as residual range organics (TPH-RRO) was detected at concentrations of 490 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and 610 mg/kg. The TPH-RRO concentrations of 610 mg/kg detected in soils sample UW MI-2 (i.e., southeastern side of site) exceeded the HDOH Tier 1 EAL of 500 mg/kg for TPH-RRO. Total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel range organics (TPH-DRO), total lead, and several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) analytes were detected; however, the concentrations were below the applicable HDOH Tier 1 EALs. Concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline range organics (TPH -GRO), total cadmium
Project No. 17012-012090.00 6
and volatile organic compounds (VOC) were not detected at concentrations above the laboratory reporting limits in either of the samples. Boreholes BH-1 and BH-2 (Soil and Groundwater) Four multi-increment soil samples collected from select soil intervals (i.e., UW BH1 1’, UW BH1 6’, UW BH2 1’, and UW BH2 7’) were collected from boreholes BH-1 and BH-2, which were positioned along the northwest side of the site to assess potential impacts from the former off-site auto body and paint area. TPH-RRO was detected at concentrations ranging from not detectable up to 1,900 mg/kg. Only the TPH-RRO concentration of 1,900 mg/kg, which was detected in soil sample UW BH1-1’, exceeded the HDOH Tier 1 EAL of 500 mg/kg for TPH-RRO. TPH-DRO, total lead, and several PAH analytes were detected; however, the concentrations were below the applicable HDOH Tier 1 EALs. Concentrations of TPH-GRO, total cadmium, and VOCs were not detected at concentrations above the laboratory reporting limits in either of the samples. Boreholes BH-1 and BH-2 were converted to temporary groundwater monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-2, respectively. Two groundwater grab samples (i.e., UW MW-1 and UW MW-2) were collected from these two temporary monitoring wells. TPH-RRO was detected at a concentration of 1,400 micrograms per liter (µg/L) in groundwater sample UW MW-1, which was below the HDOH Tier 1 EAL of 2,500 µg/L for TPH-RRO. Two of the PAH analytes were reported at concentrations that exceeded the HDOH Tier 1 EALs in sample UW MW-1. The PAH analyte indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene was detected at a concentration of 0.38 µg/L, which exceeded the HDOH Tier 1 EAL of 0.095 µg/L. The PAH analyte benzo[g,h,i]perylene was detected at a concentration of 0.34 µg/L, which exceeded the HDOH Tier 1 EAL of 0.13 µg/L. Concentrations of TPH-GRO, TPH-DRO, total cadmium, total lead, and VOCs were not detected at concentrations above the laboratory reporting limits in either of the samples. Boreholes BH-3 and BH-4 (Soil and Groundwater) Two multi-increment soil samples collected from select soil intervals (i.e., UW BH3 7’ and UW BH4 6’) were collected from boreholes BH-3 and BH-4, which were positioned along the southeast of the site to assess potential impacts from the former off-site chemical and fertilizer warehouse and off-site dry cleaning facility. TPH-RRO, TPH-DRO, several PAH analytes, and two of the organochlorine pesticide analytes were detected; however, the concentrations were below the applicable HDOH unrestricted Tier 1 EAL, or the HDOH has not established a Tier 1 EAL. Concentrations of total arsenic, VOCs, and pesticide screen analytes were not detected in either of the samples at levels of that exceeded the laboratory reporting limits. Boreholes BH-3 and BH-4 were converted to temporary groundwater monitoring wells MW-3 and MW-4, respectively. Two groundwater grab samples (i.e., UW MW-3 and UW MW-4) were collected from these two temporary monitoring wells. TPH-RRO was reported at concentrations of not detectable and 980 µg/L; however, these concentrations were below the HDOH Tier 1 EAL of 2,500 µg/L for TPH-RRO. Concentrations of TPH-DRO, total arsenic, PAHs, VOCs, organochlorine pesticide analytes, and pesticide screen analytes were not detected at concentrations above the laboratory reporting limits in either of the samples. In summary, the investigation identified the following:
TPH-RRO impacted soil, having a concentration of 610 mg/kg, was identified in the shallow soils (i.e. 0.5 to 3.0 feet bgs) at the DU located on the southeastern half of the site.
TPH-RRO impacted soil, having a concentration of 1,900 mg/kg, was identified in a shallow soil sample (i.e. 0.5 to 2.5 feet bgs) collected from BH-1/MW-1.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 7
The PAH analytes indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene that were detected at concentrations that exceed the HDOH Tier 1 EALs in the groundwater sample collected from well MW-1.
Bureau Veritas recommended that an EHE be conducted to evaluate potential environmental hazards associated with the identified soil and groundwater impacts, including the potential use of Tier 1 EALs for sites located less than 150 meters from surface water (i.e, potential groundwater and storm drain water comingling). In addition, Bureau Veritas recommended that documents be prepared to guide the handling and management of the impacted soil and groundwater during future construction (i.e., a Construction-Environmental Hazard Management Plan [C-EHMP]). It should be noted that the site has not been fully characterized or delineated. Therefore, sample results may indicated greater or fewer hazards than are present at the site. 4.0 NATURE AND EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION Based on the analytical results of the Phase II Environmental Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a), site soils and groundwater are impacted with petroleum and related constituents, although the investigation was not comprehensive. The soil and groundwater data were compared to the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential drinking water resource and a surface water body is not located within 150 meters of the site. Shallow soils in two site locations, the southeastern half of the site (0.5 to 3.0 feet bgs) and the western edge of the site (0.5 to 2.5 feet bgs), are impacted with TPH-RRO at concentrations exceeding the HDOH Tier 1 EAL. Groundwater from one of the four monitoring wells, MW-1, located on the western edge of the site is impacted with two PAHs, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, at concentrations exceeding their respective HDOH Tier 1 EALs. Figure 4 depicts locations where the shallow soil and groundwater concentrations exceeding the HDOH Tier 1 EALs were discovered during the limited 2012 Phase II Investigation. These areas are not delineated and all soil at the site should be managed as contaminated unless additional sampling indicates results are below Tier 1 EALs. 5.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD EVALUATION PROCESS The HDOH Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response (HEER) Office has devised a methodology for preparing Environmental Hazard Evaluations (EHEs) to assess potential environmental concerns at sites where releases of hazardous substances have occurred (HDOH, 2012 & 2013). To aid in the EHE process, the HEER Office has developed Tier 1 EALs1 and provided guidance for their use (Evaluation of Environmental Concerns at Sites With Contaminated Soil and Groundwater) (HDOH, 2012). The Tier 1 EALs are available for over 150 contaminants commonly detected in soil and groundwater at sites where releases of hazardous substances have occurred. EHEs consolidate potential human health and ecological hazards, along with other types of environmental hazards, to comprehensively evaluate a broad range of potential concerns.
1 The term “Tier 1 EALs” refers to the individual screening levels developed by the HDOH that are relevant to specific media (i.e., soil, groundwater, or soil vapor).
Project No. 17012-012090.00 8
The HDOH has developed a multi-step framework for conducting EHEs that includes the following major tasks:
1. Summarize Past, Current and Anticipated Future Site Activities and Uses 2. Summarize the Site Investigation (and Identify the Chemicals of Potential Concern [COPCs]) 3. Summarize the Appropriateness of the Use of the Look-up Tables and EALs 4. Determine the Groundwater Categorization 5. Determine Representative Contaminant Concentrations 6. Select the Appropriate Screening Levels and Compare to Site Data 7. Present Conclusions and Recommendations
The EHE presented within this document follows the approach developed by the HDOH. 6.0 IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICALS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN Following the HDOH guidance for the preparation of EHEs, the soil and groundwater data collected during the Phase II Environmental Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a) were compared to the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs (for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential drinking water resource and a surface water body is not located within 150 meters of the site) to identify COPCs (HDOH, 2012 & 2013). Because it is unknown if groundwater is infiltrating into the storm drain system, the data were also compared to the Tier 1 EALs for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential drinking water resource and a surface water body is located within 150 meters of the site (see Section 6.2). 6.1 SOIL One contaminant, TPH-RRO, was detected at concentrations exceeding the HDOH Tier 1 EALs in near surface soil samples collected during the Phase II Environmental Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a). During the Phase II Environmental Investigation, two DUs were established from which near surface multi-increment soil samples were collected. One of the DUs (i.e., UW MI-2) contained a soil concentration of TPH-RRO that exceeded the HDOH Tier 1 EAL, as shown in Table 6-1 below. Multi-increment soil samples were also collected from the four boreholes drilled on site that were subsequently converted to temporary monitoring wells. One of the soil samples collected from one of the boreholes (BH-1), also contained a near surface soil concentration of TPH-RRO that exceeded the HDOH Tier 1 EAL, as shown in Table 6-1 below. Contaminants exceeding the HDOH Tier 1 EALs are also depicted in Figure 4, located behind the Figures tab.

6.2 GROUNDWATER Two PAH analytes, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, were detected at concentrations exceeding the HDOH Tier 1 EALs in groundwater samples collected from one of the four on-site monitoring wells, MW-1, during the Phase II Environmental Investigation (Bureau Veritas, 2014a), as shown in Table 6-2 below. Contaminants exceeding the HDOH Tier 1 EALs are also depicted in Figure 4, located behind the Figures tab.

Because it is unknown if the site groundwater is connected to the storm drain system, the groundwater analytical results were also compared to the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking water and the nearest surface water body is less than 150 meters from the site. This comparison was performed to determine if additional groundwater COPCs should be identified other than those presented in Table 6-2. Groundwater contaminants were not detected at concentrations greater than the laboratory method reporting limits in the grab samples collected from two of the monitoring wells (i.e., MW-2 and MW-4). Several groundwater contaminants, TPH-RRO and numerous PAHs, were detected in the sample collected from MW-1. One contaminant, TPH-RRO, was detected in the sample collected from MW-3. Table 6-3 below presents a comparison of the COPC concentrations measured in groundwater samples collected from MW-1 and MW-3 to the HDOH Tier 1 EALs.
Table 6-3 Comparison of COPC Groundwater Concentrations to the HDOH Tier 1 EALs
Notes: Bold Concentration exceeds HDOH Tier 1 EAL where groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking
water and the nearest surface water body is less than 150 meters from the site. Bold* Concentration exceeds HDOH Tier 1 EAL where groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking
water and the nearest surface water body is greater than 150 meters from the site. Bold∆ Concentration exceeds Chronic Aquatic Toxicity EAL.
The measured concentrations of the following contaminants exceeded the chronic aquatic toxicity EALs: TPH-RRO, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. However, the measured groundwater concentrations did not exceed the acute aquatic toxicity EALs. Site groundwater does not appear to be a risk to aquatic receptors through potential migration to surface water via the storm drain system for the following reasons:
Separate phase hydrocarbon (i.e., free product) was not observed in the four site monitoring wells.
The contaminants detected in groundwater samples from MW-1 and MW-3 are heavier hydrocarbons that are not very mobile.
The concentrations of the contaminants detected in groundwater samples from MW-1 and MW-3 do not exceed acute aquatic toxicity EALs.
The site is located a significant distance from surface water (1,500 feet). Considering this distance and anticipated storm water volumes, groundwater that may be infiltrating into the storm drain system would be greatly diluted during a storm event prior to reaching surface water.
Based on the above analysis, additional groundwater COPCs were not identified. 7.0 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Several potential environmental hazards may exist at sites with identified environmental contaminants (HDOH, 2012 & 2013). In general, potential environmental hazards associated with contaminated soil may include human health (direct exposure and vapor intrusion into indoor air), leaching to groundwater, impacts to terrestrial ecological receptors, and gross contamination. Similarly, potential environmental hazards associated with contaminated groundwater may include human health (ingestion, dermal contact, and vapor intrusion into indoor air), impacts to aquatic ecological receptors, and gross contamination. Potential environmental hazards specific to this site are discussed and identified in the following sections.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 11
7.1 CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL A conceptual site model was developed for the site to aid in the identification of potential environmental hazards at this site. The conceptual site model is presented as Table 5, located behind the Tables tab, and identifies suspected sources, types of contamination, potential migration pathways, potential exposure pathways, and potential receptors. 7.2 POTENTIAL RECEPTORS The site consists of a 30,000 square foot rectangular parcel of land located in an industrial business district. It is presently paved and marked with parking spaces. The site is the proposed future location of a residential condominium building with first floor retail space. Potential human receptors at this site include future residents, future indoor workers, future outdoor workers, and future construction workers. Terrestrial ecological receptors are improbable as the site is located in a highly developed area of Honolulu. The closest surface water to the site is Kewalo Basin, which is located approximately 1,500 feet to the southwest of the site. It is unknown if site groundwater is infiltrating into the City and County of Honolulu storm drain system. However, it is unlikely site groundwater would impact aquatic receptors considering their low concentrations (i.e., do not exceed acute aquatic toxicity EALs) and the distance to surface water (i.e., expected significant dilution during storm events). The groundwater beneath the site is not considered a source of drinking water. The following potential receptors were identified for the site:
Future Residents Future Indoor Workers Future Outdoor Workers Future Construction Workers Aquatic Ecological Receptors (for the specific case in which groundwater would be discharged to
surface water after being pumped during potential future construction de-watering activities) 7.3 POTENTIAL EXPOSURE PATHWAYS An exposure pathway describes the course that a chemical takes from a source to a receptor. Potential exposures are evaluated by considering the following four factors:
A source of potentially toxic chemicals; A contaminated media, such as soil or groundwater; An exposure or contact point with the contaminated medium; and An exposure route for chemical intake by a receptor.
An exposure pathway is considered complete when it has all four factors. Designation of an exposure pathway as complete indicates that human exposure is possible, but does not necessarily mean that exposures will occur, nor that exposures will occur at the levels estimated in this report. When any one of the factors is missing, the pathway is considered incomplete.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 12
Potentially complete exposure pathways were identified and are presented in the Conceptual Site Model presented as Table 5, located behind the Tables tab. The following potentially complete exposure pathways were identified for the site: Surface Soil
Incidental ingestion Dermal contact Inhalation (fugitive dust generated during construction)
Subsurface Soil
Incidental ingestion Dermal contact Inhalation (fugitive dust generated during construction) Inhalation (volatile emissions, if additional subsurface soil impacts are encountered during future
construction activities) Groundwater
Dermal contact Inhalation (volatile emissions, if additional subsurface soil impacts are encountered during future
construction activities) The results of the Limited Phase II Investigation indicate the site is not impacted with volatile contaminants. As such, a vapor intrusion risk does not appear to be present. However, in the event additional contamination is discovered during construction, this pathway must be reevaluated. 7.4 TARGETED ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Based on the nature and extent of contamination at the site, the identified potential receptors, and the exposure pathways, the following potential environmental hazards were targeted for the site for further evaluation:
Human Health (direct exposure) Vapor Emissions to Indoor Air Gross Contamination Leaching to Groundwater Aquatic Ecotoxicity (for the specific case, in which groundwater would be discharged to surface
water after being pumped during potential future construction de-watering activities) 8.0 TARGETED SCREENING LEVELS AND COMPARISION TO SITE DATA In general, the HDOH Tier 1 EALs applicable to the site are those for sites in which groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking water and are located greater than 150 meters from a surface water body. Individual HDOH screening levels were selected specific to the conditions of this site and were compared to the site data (HDOH, 2012 & 2013).
Project No. 17012-012090.00 13
8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS FOR SOIL One COPC, TPH-RRO, was identified in soil. TPH-RRO concentrations in soil were compared to the identified targeted HDOH EALs, or screening levels, as shown in Table 6, located behind the Tables tab. Specifically, TPH-RRO concentrations in soil were compared to the individual EALs associated with specific potential environmental concerns related to (1) Direct Exposure, (2) Vapor Emission to Indoor Air, (3) Gross Contamination, and (4) Leaching (groundwater protection concerns). One potential environmental hazard was identified for the TPH-RRO concentrations in soil, as described below. Environmental hazards potentially posed by near surface soils are depicted in Figure 5, located behind the Figures tab.
Gross Contamination Hazards in Shallow Soils at Residential Sites –The TPH-RRO concentrations, 610 mg/kg in UW MI-2 and 1,900 mg/kg in BH-1, both exceeded the gross contamination EAL for TPH-RRO in shallow soils at residential sites of 500 mg/kg. The HDOH defines shallow soils as less than three meters at residential sites for the purposes of identifying gross contamination hazards. As such, TPH-RRO concentrations in soil may pose gross contamination hazards in shallow soils if the near surface soils are excavated and used as uncovered surface soil at this site or another residential site. Re-development plans for the site indicate the entire surface of the site will be covered with the proposed future structure. The HDOH (2012) describes gross contamination as soils having offensive odors, unaesthetic appearance and general resource degradation.
8.2 GROUNDWATER ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Two PAH analytes, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, were identified as COPCs in groundwater. COPC concentrations in groundwater were compared to the identified targeted HDOH EALs, or screening levels, as shown in Table 7, located behind the Tables tab. Specifically, concentrations of the groundwater COPCs were compared to the individual EALs associated with specific potential environmental concerns related to (1) Vapor Emission to Indoor Air, (2) Aquatic Ecotoxicity, and (3) Gross Contamination. Two potential environmental hazards were identified for the COPC concentrations in groundwater and discussed below. Environmental hazards potentially posed by groundwater are depicted in Figure 5, located behind the Figures tab.
Chronic Aquatic Ecotoxicity in Estuarine, Freshwater, and Marine Environments – The benzo(g,h,i)perylene concentration of 0.34 µg/L measured in MW-1 exceeded the Chronic Aquatic Ecotoxicity EAL for benzo(g,h,i)perylene of 0.1 µg/L for estuarine, freshwater, and marine environments, although the Acute Aquatic Ecotoxicity EAL for benzo(g,h,i)perylene of 300 µg/L was not exceeded. Because it is unknown if the site groundwater is connected to the storm drain system, the groundwater analytical results were also compared to the unrestricted Tier 1 EALs for sites where groundwater is not a current or potential source of drinking water and the nearest surface water body is less than 150 meters from the site (see Table in Section 6.2). Several groundwater contaminants, TPH-RRO and numerous PAHs, were detected in the sample collected from MW-1. One contaminant, TPH-RRO, was detected in the sample collected from MW-3. The measured concentrations of the following contaminants exceeded the chronic aquatic toxicity EALs: TPH-RRO, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. However, the measured groundwater concentrations did not exceed the acute aquatic toxicity EALs.
Project No. 17012-012090.00 14
It is unlikely site groundwater would impact aquatic receptors considering their low concentrations (i.e., do not exceed acute aquatic toxicity EALs) and the distance to surface water of 1,500 feet (i.e., expected significant dilution during storm events). However, if groundwater is to be pumped during potential future de-watering activities and if the water is to be discharged to surface water or storm sewers, the concentration of contaminants should not exceed the HDOH’s EALs based on Ecotoxicity for either acute or chronic toxicity. Gross Contamination Hazards (at sites where groundwater is not a current source of drinking water) – The groundwater concentration of indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene of 0.38 µg/L measured in MW-1 exceeded the gross contamination EAL for sites where groundwater is not a current source of drinking water for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene of 0.095 µg/L. Similarly, the groundwater concentration of benzo(g,h,i)perylene of 0.34 µg/L measured in MW-1 exceeded the gross contamination EAL for sites where groundwater is not a current source of drinking water for benzo(g,h,i)perylene of 0.13 µg/L. As such, COPC concentrations in groundwater may pose gross contamination hazards. The HDOH (2012) describes gross contamination as having offensive odors, unaesthetic appearance and general resource degradation.
It should be noted that the site has not been fully characterized or delineated. Therefore, sample results may indicated greater or fewer hazards than are present at the site. 9.0 CONCLUSIONS An EHE consists of a multi-step process to assess potential environmental hazards at sites impacted with environmental contaminants. Following this process, several tasks were completed including defining the nature and extent of contamination, identifying COPCs, identifying applicable HDOH screening levels for comparison to site data (i.e., targeted HDOH screening levels), and identifying potential environmental hazards. One potential environmental hazard, gross contamination, may exist at the site (or may be posed by site soil if transferred off-site), as described below. Soil
Potential gross contamination hazards in shallow soils for residential receptors if impacted near surface site soil is excavated and used as uncovered surface soil at this site or another residential site. Re-development plans for the site indicate the entire surface of the site will be covered with the proposed future structure. Potential gross contamination hazards for residential receptors are posed by concentrations of TPH-RRO soil. The HDOH (2012) describes gross contamination as soils having offensive odors, unaesthetic appearance and general resource degradation.
Groundwater
Potential gross contamination hazards in groundwater that is not a current source of drinking water. Potential gross contamination hazards are posed by two PAH analytes, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. It is unlikely site groundwater would impact aquatic receptors through potential migration to surface water via the storm drain system considering the low contaminant concentrations (i.e., do not exceed acute aquatic toxicity EALs) and the distance to surface water (i.e., expected significant dilution during storm events).
Project No. 17012-012090.00 15
Soil Vapor
Soil vapor hazards were not identified. However, if additional contamination is encountered during construction activities, soil vapor hazards may need to be reevaluated.
10.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the results of this EHE, Bureau Veritas recommends the preparation of a Construction Environmental Hazard Management Plan (C-EHMP) to document the requirements and appropriate methods for the proper management, handling, and disposal of impacted soil and groundwater that may be encountered during the proposed development/construction activities at site (Bureau Veritas, 2014c). Once the development/construction activities at site are completed, Bureau Veritas recommends that an Environmental Hazard Management Plan (EHMP) be prepared to document the requirements and appropriate methods to manage the potential environmental hazards at the site over the long-term. Bureau Veritas also recommends that HDOH be notified immediately if field observations during construction indicate the magnitude or extent of contamination is greater than expected. 11.0 LIMITATIONS This report is for the exclusive use of Artspace. and no other party shall have any right to rely on any service provided by Bureau Veritas without prior written consent.
