01/20/2011 | This report presents the results of area air and sub-slab air sampling conducted for the General Services Administration (GSA) at the Bannister Federal Complex (BFC), specifically Building 4, located at 1500 East Bannister Road, Kansas City, Missouri. |
Contaminant migrations may exist through perforations in the building foundation slab. However, based on identified contaminant concentrations at levels below the applicable Site-Specific Screening Levels identified in the indoor air and crawlspace samples collected, it does not appear that contaminants are migrating to the employee-occupied spaces located above the crawlspace at concentrations above the Site-Specific Screening Levels. |
