Graeme - I think this is perfect. Based on my experience reviewing these, we usually just need a few more lines to support that the City of Fresno did not cause or contribute to releases outside the building structure. Please update and resubmit. Thank you.

Hi Jorine,
David and I talked, and we have written up a little more detail about the reasonable steps the city has taken to maintain these buildings. If this detail is satisfactory, I can revise the ED worksheet accordingly and resubmit. If you think additional information or another approach would be warranted, please let me know and I can pivot accordingly.
The existing buildings on Airport-owned property, constructed in the 1940s using Works Progress Administration (WPA) funding, have been well-maintained by the City for nearly 100 years. According to historical research, the airport reflects excellence in architectural design with a campus that includes three distinct styles: Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and Spanish Revival. The City takes pride in this airport facility and has taken great care to maintain the airport facilities for continued use. Available historical information suggests that this airport may be the only WPA-constructed facility still in existence in the United States today
1. This is a clear indicator that the City
has preserved these facilities through regular maintenance and have not allowed regulated building materials to be released to the environment. However, today many of these buildings have reached the end of their usable life. To proactively mitigate potential environmental and health risks associated with asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-based paint (LBP), the City is seeking EPA Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) cleanup planning support. A future RLF loan will enable safe abatement prior to demolition, preventing hazardous material releases and ensuring protection of public health and the surrounding environment.

Thanks Graeme - Before I submit the form to the Site Eligibility team, can you say something more about reasonable steps the City has taken to ensure that hazardous building materials have not been released to the outside environment.

Hello Jorine,
On behalf of the City of Fresno, I am attaching an eligibility determination (ED) worksheet for a new project site in SW Fresno, at the Chandler Executive Airport. I believe this site and project have been discussed with EPA for a while now and we have recently connected with the City department that manages Fresno’s airports to better understand the project and to complete this ED worksheet. Using supplemental RLF funding under CA 98T50501-1, we are looking to develop an ABCA and then issue a loan to help the airport abate regulated building materials in one of their old hangers.
Please review the attached and reach out with any questions.
Thank you,
Graeme Taylor
