The Warehouse may be used solely and exclusively as a space for the storage, transshipment, reparation, transportation, handling and distribution of goods. If an operating or environmental permit or notification is required for the activities of Skechers, Skechers shall be responsible, at its sole risk and expense, for the request and obtainment thereof, as well as for any renewal or extension during the term of this Agreement. Skechers shall bear all costs relating thereto and shall strictly adhere to all conditions imposed by such permit or notification.

The car parking spaces may be used solely and exclusively for the parking of the cars of Skechers and its contacts.
All other activities and/or adjustments in the Premises may only take place subject to prior written permission by ProLogis, which will not withhold its permission without any justified reasons.

In the event that, due to a use of the Premises during the term of this Agreement which is not in conformity with the terms of this Agreement, the payments under the current Agreement are no longer subject to VAT, either in part or in their entirety, Skechers will compensate ProLogis for any loss suffered by the latter as a result, including the loss which ProLogis may suffer by being unable to recoup the VAT already paid by it.
Skechers is not authorized to alter this use without prior written permission by ProLogis, which will not withhold its permission without any justified reasons.
It is explicitly agreed that any use of the Premises or the Site for any work or activity covered by the legislation regarding commercial leases (The Law dated April 30, 1951 as amended) is strictly prohibited.

Within this context, it must be stated that the maximum floor load permitted in the Warehouse is 5,000 kg per m 2 of the floor area, on the Mezzanine floor in the Warehouse 400 kg per m 2 of the floor area and in the Office Space 400 kg per m 2 of the floor area.

The Agreement for the availability of the Premises is entered into on the basis of an annual price (price level July 1, 2007) of nine hundred ninety-one thousand nine hundred and seventy-one Euro and fifty-five Eurocent, i.e. €991,971.55, (+VAT : two hundred and eight thousand three hundred and fourteen Euro and three Eurocent i.e. € 208,314,03, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Price’, payable per quarter and in advance in four (4) equal parts of two hundred and forty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-two Euro eighty-nine Eurocent, i.e. € 247,992.89, (+VAT : fity-two thousand and seventy-eight Euro fity-one Eurocent i.e. € 52,078.51), to be made by direct bank transfer to the bank account of ProLogis.
As stipulated in Article 5, this Agreement is to take effect on April 1, 2009. The first period over which payment is due will therefore be the period from April 1, 2009 up to and including June 30, 2009, which is due as from April 1, 2009.
In the event that the Premises are completed after April 1, 2009 the provisions relating to the payment of the Price as stipulated in the preceding paragraph shall be suspended until the effective date of completion.
The Price must be paid in Euro and is payable to ProLogis Belgium III sprl, account number: 720540646989 (ABN Amro Bank in Brussels).
If Skechers, either in part or in its entirety, is in default with the payment of the above-mentioned quarterly payments of the Price on the aforementioned dates when the payments are due, Skechers must pay ProLogis, by operation of law (“ipso iure”) and without notice of default, the interest due over that sum amounting to twelve percent (12%) per annum, whereby any month that has commenced must be regarded as completed.
When the Price in accordance with Article 4 is modified, the amount of the bank guarantee, as referred to in Article 25, will have to be adjusted in line with the annual adjustment of the Price payments every year. This bank guarantee may only be released six (6) months after the termination of the Agreement, provided that Skechers have been released properly of the obligations resulting from this Agreement. Under no circumstance, shall the bank guarantee be used by Skechers to pay the Price. However, in the event of breach of Agreement on the part of Skechers, ProLogis may use the aforementioned deposit to compensate for Skechers’ overdue payments and any other omissions in the performance of its obligations by Skechers.

 


 

4 Price Modifications
Unless otherwise provided by law, it is determined that the Price, as stipulated in Article 3, will be linked to the consumer price index (“health index)” as published each month in the Belgian State Gazette.
The basic index is that of the month prior to the signature of this Agreement, i.e. the month March 2008.
The Price will be reviewed annually on the date of the entry into force of this Agreement, automatically and by operation of law, in accordance with the increase of the aforementioned index according to the formula as defined below, whereby the month used for the new index will be the month prior to the relevant anniversary of the date of the entry into force:
         
new Price =
  Price x new index
 
basic index
   
However, the new Price will at no time be lower than the Price as stipulated above.
Skechers will implement the modifications to the Price subject to a one-month notification to that effect by ProLogis.
In the event that the publication of the ‘consumer price index’ (health index) should be discontinued, the parties will agree to replace this by the new index published by the Belgian government.
In the event that no new official index is published, the parties, if they fail to come to an agreement, will submit the problem to a tribunal of three arbitrators. Each party will appoint its own arbitrator within one month of being requested to do so by the other party and the two arbitrators will jointly appoint a third arbitrator.
If one of the parties fails to duly appoint its arbitrator or if the two arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator, the missing arbitrator will be appointed, at the request of either party, by the Justice of the Peace in whose jurisdiction the Premises are located.
It is explicitly agreed that ProLogis shall only waiver the right to increase the Price arising from this article by a written confirmation, signed by ProLogis.

20 Environment and health
Skechers shall at all times use its best efforts to minimize the impact of its activities on the environment and human health.
Skechers shall, both during the Agreement and afterwards, fully indemnify ProLogis and hold ProLogis harmless for all damages and costs resulting from the release by Skechers of harmful substances into the air, the water, the soil and the groundwater, or from any activity which is harmful for the environment or human health, including but not limited to (i) the fees and expenses for surveys or other studies, preventive or remedying measures and for monitoring programs, (ii) the decrease of the value of the Site, (iii) the loss of benefit of the exploitation of the Site, (iv) liabilities towards third parties and/or public authorities, (v) all penalties, interests, proceedings and fees of technical, legal and financial experts.
Prior to the commencement of this Agreement, ProLogis has conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Industrial Park Hauts-Sarts-Milmort, ProLogis Belgium II Sprl ProLogis Belgium III, V, VI Sprl, Avenue du Parc Industriel, 4041 Herstal-Milmort (Liège), Belgium (GEDAS, January 18, 2001, project. number: 11/15/1844) and the Geotechnical Site Investigation (GEDAS, March 7, 2001, project number : 11/15/1844 — revision B) on the Site, for its own account. The Assessment and the Geotechnical site Investigation (together ‘the GEDAS report’) have been appended to this Agreement as Appendix 6.

This Update report will be attached to this Agreement as Appendix 7. The GEDAS report and the Update report represent a legally appropriate survey and is regarded a sufficient basis to describe the status of the soil and ground water of the Site, agreed by ProLogis and Skechers.
Prior to the termination of the Agreement, Skechers will, at its sole expense, order an accredited expert to carry out an exploratory soil survey on the Site.
If the results of this exploratory soil survey indicate that there are concentrations of substances in the soil and/or the groundwater of the Site exceeding the standards which apply on such date and/or which give cause to further survey measures and/or soil decontamination, Skechers will have these further surveys and soil decontamination carried out, for its own account.
Skechers will also compensate ProLogis for any damage which the latter may suffer as a result of any soil and/or groundwater contamination exceeding the contamination ascertained in ‘the GEDAS report’ and the Update report or as a result of the survey and remediation measures carried out by Skechers for such contamination
Skechers will make a reasonable effort to ensure that the survey and remediation measures are carried out prior to the termination of the Agreement and interfere as little as possible with the use of the Site.

1 Introduction
1.1 Background — Purpose of the Report
GEDAS, member of the ARCADIS-group, was commissioned by ProLogis on behalf of Prologis Belgium II S.p.r.1. (“ProLogis”) on August 15, 2002 to perform an update of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) of a Site in Liège, located near the Avenue du Parc Industriel, 4041 Herstal-Milmort (Liège), Belgium (“the Site”).
The contract is based on the ARCADIS proposal 2002.M5662 from August 14, 2002.
Representative photographs of the site / site inspection findings are attached in appendix 1; an overview map is shown in appendix 2.1.
Although no soil investigation is included in a Phase I Site Assessment, based on the ASTM practice, an investigation has been conducted in August 2002 and is added in appendix 3 (3.2.).
1.2 Scope of Work/Methodology
ARCADIS GEDAS already performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the site located near the Avenue du Parc Industriel, 4041 Herstal-Milmort in October-November 2000. This assessment did not identify any non-compliances with the environmental legislation. No further investigation was required by the environmental authorities.
This above described assessment was updated. The update was carried out to define the present environmental condition of the site and to identify potential sources of environmental liabilities.
The main objectives for this update are to acquire an understanding of any changes in the current situation compared with 2000 and liabilities with regard to:
    actual and previous use/site history;
 
    soil and groundwater;
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 5/44

 


 

    general environmental setting;
 
    surrounding land use and potential impacts on the site;
 
    legal requirements, permits;
The Phase I ESA is based upon the following activities:
  Record review: review of available information related to the former and present uses of the location and adjacent properties.
 
  Site reconnaissance: a visit to the property to investigate the Site and surrounding properties.
 
  Interviews with current owners and with the government
 
  Preparation of a written Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report, with a summary of GEDAS’s conclusions and recommendations.
1.3 Planned Land Use of the Site
In 2000 the investigated site (app. 15.5 ha) was free of any construction and was used as arable ground (mainly for cereals).
In 2001 the land was divided in 2 pieces (Lot I and Lot II) with each a surface of app. 8 ha. On one of these parcels (Lot I) a building (Lot I, Phase I) has been constructed. ProLogis plans to rent out this new constructed building. Therefore the investigation (Phase I ESA and limited soil investigation), only considers this part of the parcel with the building on.
Extensions to the buildings are foreseen in the near future. A second part of this building will be constructed in the future years (Lot I, Phase II) (cf. appendix 2).
The existing buildings and planned buildings are shown in appendix 2.3. The logistics hall and the office were at the time of site inspection not put into use(22/08/2002).
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 6/44

 


 

1.4 Limitations of Investigation/Disclaimer
The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was performed by GEDAS in conformance with the scope and limitations of the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) standard practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (E 1527-00) and the Master Services Agreement for consulting with ProLogis European properties Fund, ProLogis Trust, ProLogis B.V. or any of its European affiliates and subsidiaries, agreed and accepted on 4 November 1999.
The Phase I ESA comprised a site visit on August 22, 2002. The site inspection was conducted by Mr. Herwig Teughels and Mr. Kristof Peperstraete. The desk study was performed by Ms. Marleen Clerinx. The desk study comprised a limited review of existing documentation as well as confirmation of regulatory compliance from provided/presented permits or revision protocols and the interpretation of information on the environmental setting of the area in wich the site is located.
The results, findings, conclusions, and recommendations provided in this Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report are based on the conditions that were observed during the Site inspection, the review of past occupancy history of the location and information asked for by several authorities provided.

2 Property Description and Environmental Setting
2.1 The Property
2.1.1 Property Description and Location
The Site is located in an industrial zone (cf. appendix 3, 3.4.) in Herstal-Milmort (“Parc d’activités économiques de Hauts-Sarts”), app. 6 km northeast of the city centre of Liège, along the E313 highway Liège-Hasselt (Exit 34) and the A601 (see Site Map, appendix 2).
 
The nearest houses are situated at a distance of approximately 0,5 km at the northeastern site of the Site. Public transport facilities are present.
The surrounding streets are well maintained and new streets are under construction in other parts of the industrial zone.
The railway station of Herstal is situated at 1,5 km from the Site. At 11,5 km from the site, the airport of Liège is located (in Voroux-Goreux) and the airport of Maastricht is located at app. 46 km.
The investigated part of the site comprises an areal extent of app. 4 ha, of which the logistic hall covers ca. 22.450 m2. The future attached building (Lot I, Phase II) covers also 22.450 m2 according to the reviewed plans.
A transformer building (approx. 6 m2) is located on the northwestern side of the site. A gas main station is located near the main entrance of the site.
Approx. 20.000 m2 are sealed traffic- and parking areas.
A detailed topographical site survey was carried out in 2001. No final detailed topographical survey (levels) was recieved. The actual buildings show no deviation to the planned building location and size according to the received information from ProLogis.

2.1.2 Current Property Use / Site Operations
The Site is classified as an industrial area allowing non-polluting industrial activities. Zone 3 of the industrial parc in which the Site is located, allows only transportation and transport-related activities since this zone is specified as “parc industriel pour les logistics”. The entire surface of this Industrial Zone 3 is app. 121 ha.
The land studied in 2000 covered approximately 15,5 ha. The whole Site was at the time (2000) owned by S.P.I. (Services Promotion Initiatives en Prov. de Liège, Rue Lonhienne, 14 in 4000 Liège).
This site was in 2001 divided in 2 parts (Lot I and Lot II) of each app. 8 ha. ProLogis bought one of both sites in June 2001 (Lot I). The other part is still property of S.P.I.
 
Lot I was divided in two pieces : Lot I, Phase I and Lot I, Phase II. Each Phase covers approximately 4 ha. Only Phase I is included in this investigation.
The Site of interest (Lot I, Phase I) covers approximately 4 ha. A building of app. 22.450 m3 had been constructed. No electrical towers and overhead power lines are located on the site. Along the southern property border three electrical towers are present.
The cadastral data from Lot I are known as :
  community of Herstal, Division 6, Section A, cadastral parcel 620 a (27.529 m2)
 
  community of Herstal, Division 7, Section A cadastral parcel 450 b2 (40.548 m2)
 
  community of Herstal, Division 7, Section A cadastral parcel 450 c2 (9.576 m2)
 
(cf. appendix 3.1.).
One big distribution facility/warehouse with an office department is located on Site.
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 10/44

 


 

The current site operation (empty building) is not qualified as of any environmental concern according to the results of the site visit, data review and according to verbal statements of the authorities. Specific operation permits beyond the general construction are not required at this time.
2.1.2.1 Electricity, Transformers
The plant’s electric system is connected to the public supply net (Idea, in the past Electrabel). No PCB containing transformers or capacitors are in use on site as far as noticed during the site visit. This was confirmed by ProLogis.
The site operates 1 transformer in the transformer-station located near the sprinkler installation (see map in appendix 2.2); the power output is 630 kVA.
2.1.2.2 Water Management
Water Supply
The potable water supply of the Site is partly provided by the S.W.D.E. (Société Wallone des eaux) and the C.I.L.E. (Compagnie Intercommunale Liègois des eaux). This water concerns sanitary and drinking water. A sprinkler basin (capacity 550 m3) is present on the site (southwestern area of the location).
Sewer System / Waste Water
The site’s sanitary waste water and storm water is collected separately in the site’s sewer system and conveyed to the new public sewage system. The internal sewer consists of PVC-pipes.
The site does not operate a water / oil separator (not required); production waste water generating processes are not carried out at this time. Sanitary water is headed via a degreaser towards the sewer system.
2.1.2.3 Heating Units
The site operates a natural gas fueled heating system consisting of:
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 11/44

 


 

  a heating circuit with a boiler unit (Ø 160) in the administration building (Firm Elco Klöcler) Two heating rooms are present. The equipment in the offices consist of Radson radiators.
 
  16 modern heating radiators type Reznor in the logistic halls.
The radiators in the logistic halls should periodically be supervised by a certified chimney sweep company.
The location of the boiler unit in the administration building is shown in Appendix 2.6.
2.1.2.4 Heating Oil
The site does not operate a heating oil fueled system.
2.1.2.5 Natural Gas
There is a natural gas pipeline (Association Liégois de gaz (A.L.G.) and Distrigas) and a sewage draining system. Electrical power is provided by A.L.E. (Association Liégois d’léctricité).
2.1.2.6 Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)
At the site, no underground storage tanks are noticed. No visit was executed inside the building, only the exterior part.
2.1.2.7 Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs)
At the site, besides the water tank (550 m3), no aboveground storage tanks are noticed. No visit was executed inside the building, only the exterior part
2.1.2.8 Fuel Station
No fuel station or battery loading stations are noticed on site.
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 12/44

 


 

2.1.2.9 Storage of Chemicals
Nowadays the activities of the site do not (yet) comprise the use, storage and/or handling of hazardous materials and materials of environmental concern.
According to the owner of the site, no spills or accidents occured till date during the building of the hall.
2.1.2.10 Emissions to the Atmosphere
In the future due to the gas heating / boiler exhausts, emissions will be generated on the site. At this time no air emissions are present on site.
2.1.2.11 Noise, Vibration and Odor Nuisance
Up till now the site does not operate heavy noise generating machinery leading to external noise emissions above the permitted emission values for industrial areas nor generating relevant vibrations.
No complaints occurred during the building of the warehouse.
The truck traffic to and from the ProLogis- site will not pass designated residential areas. Since the site entrance as well as the loading / unloading areas and internal traffic zones are not neighbored by housing areas, truck traffic generated noise emissions are unlikely to be a nuisance in the future.
Odor emitting processes do not occur at the site.
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 13/44

 


 

2.1.2.12 Waste Materials
The site (empty building) produces no hazardous commercial waste (packaging material, cardboard, plastic foil etc.) or normal office waste.
2.1.2.13 Potentially Contaminated Building Materials
Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)
ACM has not been identified during the inspection of the recently constructed building and is not present according to the owner and the reviewed construction documents (i.e. installation of ACM in new buildings is forbidden according to the applicable Belgian legislation).
PCB
The site does not operate PCB-containing transformers according to the owner; PCB-containing earth cables have not been installed.
2.1.2.14 Radioactive Materials
Prologis has not been using or storing radioactive materials. Ionization-smoke-detectors containing radioactive substances are not used on the site.
2.1.2.15 Other Contaminated Building Material
During the site visit, no contamination of building materials has been observed (new building).
2.1.2.16 Health & Safety
Dangers to the public could not be detected at this time. The site is not in possession of an emergency plan at this time. No plan is required at this time.
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 14/44

 


 

 
2.1.2.17 Fire Protection
The municipal fire prevention revised the application for the building permit (prior to the start of the construction of the building) and imposed some rules concering fire protection.
According to the reviewed permit the following rules should be followed :
  Implantation : A connecting road should be present for the intervention vehicles (fire department, ambulance ,...) This road should be 4 m long and should be located at a distance of 2 m from the building. This has been fulfilled.
 
  Structure : Rf-value (fire resistance) 1/2 h, electricity should be controlled by a recognized expert, the safety exits should be clearly marked, pictograms must be applied, an alarm should be installed
 
  Fire protection : The site must be equipped with sufficient hose reels. The whole building must be reached with one jet of water. A proposal with the implantation of the fire extinguishers for the whole building complex must be transferred. Two Fire extinguishers based on water must be installed on each officelevel. Four CO2 fire extinguishers must be installed on specific sites on the location. The installation of automatic fire / smoke detectors and a sprinkler system is required. An aboveground hydrant should exists (possible to supply 60 m3/hour, during 2 hours).
Should future storage and handling of large volumes of combustible/flammable materials or an expansion of the halls result in an increase of fire risk, than an upgrading of the present fire prevention / fire fighting installations would be required.
2.1.3 Previous Property Use
The site was used for agricultural purposes until 2000-2001. Mainly cereals and maize were grown on the land. An aerial photograph ordered by the firm Eursosense showed that in 1985 no activity was present on the site.
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 14/44

 


 

2.1.4 Summary of Property History
Besides the above mentioned previous use, the site development till date comprises the construction of the present logistic hall and related administration- / service building in 2001-2002. On the 15th of September, new tenants will enter this buildings.
2.2 Environmental Setting
2.2.1 Geology
The geology of the location can be schematised in the following way:
The site of investigation is situated in the wide valley of the Meuse. Immediately below surface, Quaternary river deposits occur. These can consist of gravel (Pleistocene Meuse terraces) and a mixture of sand, silt and clay (Holocene Meuse deposits).
Below these recent layers, the Paleozoic basis occurs. At the location the top is formed by deposits of Westphalian and Namurian (late Carboniferous) age. These consist of sandstone and schist, alternated with coal beds. Underneath, the Visean and Tournesian limestones occur. The underlying Devonian beds consist of alternating thick limestone and sandstone layers. The basis of the Paleozoic layers is formed by metamorphous schist and kwartsite of Silurian and Cambrian age.
Potential aquifers in the region are formed by the Meuse gravel deposits, and the Paleozoic limestones in which secondary porosity was created by karstic phenomena.
2.2.2 Hydrogeology
According to Mr. Lalleman d’Herstal (2000) it is not possible to abstract groundwater at this location. This is due to the presence of sandstone, schists, limestone and coal beds in the subsoil. The groundwater level of the first aquifer should only be situated at 118 m-gl in the Houiller. However in this formation some sandstone layers can be present with a thickness of 20-30 m. It is impossible to abstract water from the sandstone layers.
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 16/44

 


 

We asked once more for the groundwater abstraction within a radius of 2 and 5 km. Four active abstractions (undrinkable) are present within a distance of 2 km. Two non-active groundwater abstraction wells are present within a distance of 2 km. One potentially polluating activity is present within a distance of 2 km : Axima S.A.. The data are presented in appendix 3 (3.3.).
2.2.3 Hydrology
Rainwater is collected on the site and conveyed into the public sewage system (separation rainwater — discharged waste water). The only surface water bodies of importance for the Site are the river called the “Meuse (de Maas)” and the Albert canal, both located approximately 6 km to the east of the Site. The direction of the groundwaterflow can not be determined based on present data.
The Site is located in an area with problems with respect to rainwater. The soil in this area is very impermeable, which makes it very hard for rainwater to infiltrate in the soil. This was obvious during the site visit as the soil was very swampy after a downpour. A big pond was visible on the southeastern site.
2.2.4 Topography
The topography of the Site slopes from the southeast to the northwest. On the site of Weerts a pile of soil was visible. No information concerning the origin of the ground was given. Probably the soil is originating from Weerts.
2.2.5 Previous Investigations
In the past GEDAS carried out an environmental and geotechnical investigation in the current investigation area and on the neighbouring site.
According to the reviewed files provided for the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, GEDAS produced the following reports for the site and the neighbouring site:
  Measurement plan dated 6th November 2000, 03/3043 (neighbouring site)
 
  Measurement plan dated 6th of January 2001, 11/11/1844
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 17/44

 


 

  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment; dated 5th October 2001, 03/3043 (neighbouring site)
 
  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment; report 11/15/1844 dated 18th January 2001, 11/11/1844
 
  Geotechnical site investigation dated 29th November 2000, 03/3043 (neighbouring site)
 
  Geotechnical site investigation dated 23th January 2001, 11/11/1844
 
  Soil investigation dated 9th October 2000, 03/3043 (neighbouring site)
 
  Topographical survey dated December 21st 2000, 11/11/1844
Together with the geotechnical study on the neighbouring parcels, 8 soil samples were taken and were analysed to determine the soil quality. No concentrations exceeded the Walloon Background Values or the Flemish Vlarebo Intervention Values.
A new soil investigation was executed on the current site.
2.2.6 Environmental Sensitivity
No wooded areas were observed on or around the property by GEDAS at the time of the Site inspection. The Site was formerly covered with cereals. No stressed vegetation was noticed. The site is not located in a biological valuable area. This was once more asked to the institution of nature conservation.
Regarding the presence of archeologic relicts, an inquirement was made once more with the authorities.
According to the S.P.I. no relicts were ever found on surrounding properties.
The “Service des fouilles de la région Wallonne” has mentioned in 2000 the possible presence of a Roman track from Tongeren to Herstal (Chaussée Brunehaut on the map). This implies that every demand for a building permit should be advised by the “Service de Archéologie, Direction de Liège”. They should attend every meeting concerning the preparation of the works and the start up of the activities. If something important is found they can stop the works.
There were contacts with this autorities during the construction works. A copy of this correspondence is represented in Appendix 3.7.
To the west behind the E313 the municipality of Liers is situated. To the east at 1,5 km the municipality of Milmort is located.

2.2.7 Planning Applications
The district plan defines the site and its surrounding as an industrial area. A copy of this Plan is attached in appendix 3.4. Additional legal obligations were asked for by the competent autorithies.
Building permission for the constructed building :
The building permission was granted on March 5th, 2001. The building permission for the Phase I distribution center is attached in Appendix 3.5.
2.2.8 Current Surrounding Uses
The Site is bordered to the west by the “Avenue du parc industriel” and the E313 Highway and to the other sides by small to medium sized enterprises.
The closest neighbours are Weerts (to the south) and Techspace Aero (to the east). These companies are medium-sized enterprises. Weerts is specialised in transport of biscuits. Techspace Aero produces aircraft engines. On the other sides the site is bordered by agricultural land, property of I.S.P.C. and Air Liquide.
According to the authorities no specific environmental problems were noticed except for some complaints concerning noise in the past. These were complaints from the local inhabitants concerning traffic. These complaints were not addressed to the activities of ProLogis.
The surrounding companies are :

Based on the review available documentation and the site visit, the current use of the surrounding properties does not seem to represent any risk for potential contamination of the Site.
All companies in the surrounding area are in possession of required operational permits and no issues of non-complianced have been reported. No changes with regard to the situation in 2001 was reported. Only Weerts started in 2001 with the storage of foods in refrigerators (cf. appendix 3.6.).
2.2.9 Previous Surrounding Uses
The area was previously used for agricultural purposes.
2.2.10 Statement of Property Sensitivity
An official central register regarding the sensitivity of a property does not exist in Belgium. The information regarding potential sensitivity issues such as environmental relevance, landfill
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 20/44

 


 

registration, contaminated land registry, mining issues etc. have to be obtained from several authorities.
The mentioned sensitivity aspects are described in the previous chapters.
2.2.11 Site Access and Traffic
The location is served by the E40 and the E313. Public transport facilities are present. The surrounding streets are well-maintained.
2.2.12 Utilities
Water
The potable water supply of the Site is partly provided by the S.W.D.E. (Société Wallone des eaux) and the C.I.L.E. (Compagnie Intercommunale Liègois des eaux). This water concerns sanitary and drinking water.

3 Regulatory / governmental agency inquiries
This section discusses the Walloon legislation regarding environmental practices.
The present legislation in Walloon relating to environmental protection is not well developed. Only in specific domains exists a legislation (f.e. waste).
The authorities are aware of the current situation and have worked out a new legislation. The new decree should replace the old legislation. However one is still waiting for new implementing regulations. Until then the old regulations stay into use.
According to the local authorities it will probably take another two years before this new legislation will be officially enforced.
3.1 Environmental law
A big part of the environmental law of the Walloon district is still sectorial legislation (surface water, noise, etc.). However since ten years some overall environmental aspects are implemented in the Walloon legislation.
From this point of view two decrees merit particular attention.
3.1.1 Environmental impact assessment
In view of the European directive 85/337/EEG concerning environmental impact assessment of some public and private projects, the Walloon authorities have decided on the decree of September 11, 1985. The decree was implemented in 1991 and has found wide application.
The decree makes some government decisions (f.e. granting of exploitation permits, building permits) subject to a preceding environmental impact assessment f.e.:
Whenever a request for an exploitation permit or some building permit is submitted, it has to be joined by a preceding environmental impact assessment (,,Notice d’évaluation préalable des incidences“).
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 22/44

 


 

The competent authorities evaluate the repercussions of the project on the environment. If the authorities consider the repercussions to be negligible, no further investigation / measures should be taken.
If the authorities consider the environmental repercussions of the project to be important, an extensive environmental impact assessment (,,ètude d ’incidences“) should be conducted.
This elaborate assessment (,,ètude d’incidences“) contains at least:
    A description of the project, the location, planning and dimensions
 
    The necessary information to identify and to value the effects of the project on the environment
 
    A description of the necessary measures necessary to avoid negative aspects
 
    A non-technical description of the data mentioned above
The elaborate environmental impact assessment should be conducted by a recognised expert. After the study has been finished, the developer submits five copies of the demand to the competent authorities. These authorities forward the demand to the local authorities with a view to a public investigation.
3.1.2 Admission to environmental information
With a decree of June 13, 1991 (concernant la liberté d’acces des citoyens à l’information relative è l’environnement) the free entrance to environmental information has been converted into law.
3.2 Environmental law concerning specific environmental sectors
Up till now no complete integrated system for environmental permits is implemented. Only in a few domains the legislation is well developed.
The most important legislations at this moment are :
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 23/44

 


 

3.2.1 Exploitation of dangerous or unhealthy activities
In the Walloon provinces the legislation for exploitation of unhealthy goods is still the R.G.P.T. (Réglement Générale pour la Protection du Travail) — legislation (former federal legislation). The permits are given for a maximal duration of 30 years.
Activities listed in Chapter II of title I of the R.G.P.T. should get an exploitation permit. The establishments are grouped in two classes, depending on their size and impact on the environment.
If the activities are defined as second class, the involved municipality (in case Herstal) will judge the demand. If the activities are classified as class one, the involved province (in case Liége) will grant the environmental permit. If necessary an appeal should be lodged with the Walloon minister.
3.2.2 Protection of the surface water
The protection of the surface water is organized in the decree of 7 October 19851. A permit is necessary to discharge water (industrial waste water and domestic wastewater).
3.2.3 Protection and exploitation of groundwater and drinking water
With the decree of 30 April 19902 the protection of the groundwater and the surface water is regulated. For example for the abstraction of groundwater a permit is necessary.
3.2.4 Protection of air
No separate legislation exists concerning air pollution. The permit for the exploitation of the activities holds standards for the air emissions. Awaiting a new Walloon legislation, the authorities often use the German TA-Luft standards.
 
1   Décret sur la protection et l’exploitation des eaux sousterraines et des eaux potables
 
2   sur la protection et l’exploitation des eaux sousterraines et des eaux potables
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 24/44

 


 

3.2.5 Noise abatement
No separate legislation exists concerning noise abatement. A federal law of 1973 still forms the legal framework. As for the air-emissions, the permit for the exploitation of the activities holds standards for noise.
3.2.6 Soil protection
A soil investigation has been conducted at this site (cf. appendix 3.2.).
In Walloon there is only specific regulation concerning soil, soil protection or soil remediation for service stations. Frequently references are made to the Walloon Waste legislation.
The Walloon authorities have however realized that there is a need for such a legislation and are working on a legislation concerning this soil protection.
3.3 Environmental management system
In order to manage environmental issues properly in all departments of the company, it is essential that everyone bears clear-cut responsibilities for the environment. In the event of accidents that affect the environment, the responsible authority has to be informed.
In Belgium, there are no legal requirements for the implementation of an environmental management system, neither in Flanders nor in the Walloon provinces.

3.4 Sitescope Report
In Belgium, a property data file comparable to a sitescope report and sitefile directory (see next chapter) is not provided. The land registry comprises the areal extent of a property, the covered land parcels / identification, ownership, registered easements.
A copy of the actual land registry dated September, 2002 is attached as appendix 3.1.
According to the land registry, the ProLogis site comprises the following parcels defined in land registry: Municipality of Herstal, Division, Section A, part of parcel 450 y.
3.5 Sitefile Directory
Not applicable in Belgium

4 Results of Walk-Over Inspection
During the walk-over inspection, no issues representing a relevant matter of environmental concern or indicating the need for major rehabilitation- or corrective measures have been identified. No visit inside the buildings was conducted. No activities were present on site according to ProLogis and as far as seen.
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 27/44

 


 

5 Environmental Risk Assessment
GEDAS, a member of the ARCADIS group, has performed an update of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of a Site at the Avenue du Parc industriel at Milmort (Herstal), Belgium in conformance with the scope and limitations of the ASTM standard practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments.
Observations made during the Site reconnaissance did not identify any non-compliance with the environmental legislation.
A review of historical activities on Site and the current use of the Site do not reveal any environmental conditions and no further investigation is recommended.

Our Phase I ESA did not reveal any recognised environmental conditions and no indications of possible land contamination were reported nor noted and no further investigation is recommended or required.

6 Conclusions and Recommendations
Summary of Issues
         
1. Environmental Risk Assessment
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  Based on the findings of the site inspection and data review / desk study, the actual and planned future site utilization and the identified subsurface situation do not inhere any relevant environmental risks    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:   No Action required
 
       
2. Results of Walk-Over Inspection
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  During the walk-over inspection, no issues representing a relevant matter of environmental concern or indicating the need for major rehabilitation- or corrective measures have been identified    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:   No Action required
 
       
3. Planned Building Expansion
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  On Lot I, Phase I a new storage building had been constructed. On this parcel no building expansion is provided.    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:   No Action required
 
       
 
       
4. Site-/Building Survey Report
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  Existing documents state that the actual buildings show no deviation of the planned building and the constructed building with regard to location and size.    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:   No Action required
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 29/44

 


 

         
5. Chemicals
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  Site activities at this time do not comprise use/handling of hazardous materials and materials of environmental concern requiring official permission and regulatory surveillance.    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:   No Action required
 
       
6. Traffic Study
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  Truck traffic is not present at this time. In the future traffic will not pass through designated areas. Since the site entrance as well as the loading / unloading areas and internal traffic zones are not neighbored by housing areas, truck traffic generated noise amissions are unlikely to be a nuisance in the future.    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:   No Action presently
 
       
7. Future Fire-Prevention Measures
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  Should future storage / handling of larger volumes of combustible / flammable materials or an expansion of the halls result in an increase of the fire risk, an upgrading of the present fire prevention / fire fighting installations would be required    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:    
 
       
 
  Internal assessment of future fire load situation depending on planned storage activities, informal discussion with authorities regarding potential permission requirements.   No Action presently
 
       
8. Soil investigation
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  Based on the soil analysis no further soil and groundwater investigation or remedial actions are required by the authorities.    
 
       
 
  Recommendation:   No Action required
     
Date: 23th September 2002   Page: 30/44

 


 

         
 
       
9. Easements
  Finding / Conclusion:    
 
       
 
  The following easement exist for the ProLogis-site :    
 
       
 
  A connecting road should be present for the intervention vehicles
   (4m long at a distance of 2 m from the building)
   
 
       
 
  Recommendation:    
 
      No Action required

The Lambert coordinates of the central point of the site are: X = 235,402 km, Y = 153,427 km and Z = 180 m.
The ground is situated in an area designated for industrial activities. Nine groundwater extraction wells exist in an area of 2 km around the center of the research site. As far as known, there are no protection zones for groundwater extraction located near the research site. Close to the site are 3 creeks (2 situated at 370 meters from the site (to the east and to the north-west side), 1 situated next to the southern site of the building at the research site. Three small surface waters are situated within 614 meters around the research site, located to the east, west and north-west side of the site.
Data gathered in former soil investigations are summarized in par. 2.8

2.2 Characteristics surrounding area
The site is located in an industrial zone (Parc Industriel) 5 km to the north of the city Luik. To the west an exit of the highway E313 Luik-Hasselt is found, to the south-east the A3 motorway.
The total industrial zone comprises an area of ca. 180 ha. The area is used by small, medium and large sized companies like ISPC International (food branch), Air Liquide SA (compressed gasses), Eurofreins SA (car parts), Galliker Transports SA (transport company), HTC Wallonie (tankcleaning), Techspace Aero (development of aeronautical propulsion engines), ...
2.3 Geology and hydrogeology
The geology of the location can be schematised as follows:
The research site is situated in the wide valley of the Meuse, Immediately below surface, Quaternary river deposits occur. These can consist of gravel (Pleistocene Meuse terraces) and a mixture of sand, slit and day (Holocene Meuse deposits).
Below these recent layers, the Paleozoic basis occurs. At the location, the top is formed by deposits of Westphalian and Namurian (late Carboniferous) age. These consist of sandstone and schist, alternated with coal beds. Underneath, the Visean and Touresian limestones occur. The underlying Devonian beds consist of alternating thick limestone and sandstone layers. The basis of the Paleozoic layers is formed by metamorphous schist en kwartsite of Silurian and Cambrian age.
Potential aquifers in the region are formed by the Meuse gravel deposits, and the Paleozoic limestones in wich secondary porosity was created by karstic phenomena.
According to the “Walloon Geo-Environmental website” (OGEAD http://environnement.wallonie.be/cartosig/ogead/#) the groundwater can be qualified as vulnerable.
The following table presents the geology of the site.

During the fieldwork, following soil profile was observed: beneath all asphalt hardening on the terrain, an artificial, dark brown layer of sand was found until a depth of around 60cm. This layer contained a lot of stone. Below the layer of sand, a more loamy brown layer was found. At most of the drilling locations, it was impossible to get any deeper than 50-60cm: a hard impenetrable layer of unknown origin prevented any further drilling. At drilling locations where no hardening was located on the surface the underground consisted of a brown layer of loam.
The expected depth of the groundwater table is situated around 118 m-gl. The assumed direction of the groundwater flow is unknown.

As far as known, none of these extractions has an influence on the direction of the groundwater flow.
2.4 Historical data
In 2000 the site was owned by S.P.I. (Service Promotion Initiatives en province de Liége, Rue Lonhienne, 14 in 4000 liége). During this period, the land was used as agricultural land (mainly for cereals).
In 2001, the terrain became the property of ProLogis and the land was divided in 2 pieces (Lot I and Lot II) with each a surface of app. 8 ha. On one of these parcels (Lot I) a building (Phase I) has been constructed. The building was rented out in 2002 to the company “Skechers”, which uses it as a depot and distribution center for shoes.
Construction of the second part of the building (Phase II) (on the second parcel (Lot II) commenced in august 2008. The second part of the building has also been rented out to the company “Skechers”, which is using it until present day.
As far as known, no accidental spills have occurred on the research site.
There has been a change of the soil profile: the terrain has been partly excavated for the construction of the loading and unloading zones and for the construction of the foundations. Underneath the concrete or other hardening materials, a layer of debris is used as foundation.
As far as known, no polluted soil is excavated, no remediation has occured, nor a significant groundwater lowering was performed.
2.5 Actual activities
The terrain is used by the company “Skechers” as a depot and distribution center for shoes.
The exact location of cables and sub ground wiring is partly known (before the drillings were performed each location was measured with the aid of wire detection equipment).
2.6 Overview of activities
During the pre-study copies of the available permits concerning present and former activities on the terrain were requested with the City of Herstal.
As far as known, no activities were exploited that present a risk for soil contamination.
2.7 Data storage tanks
As far as known, no storage tanks are/were present at the site.

2.8 Previous soil investigations
In view of the pre-study, it is also investigated whether in the past already soil investigations or remediations have taken place on the terrain. This information is then taken into account for selection of the appropriate research strategy. A more elaborate report of these investigations can be found in annex 7.7.
     
Soil investigation

  03/3043
 
Conclusion:
  (Quote)
Results from laboratory analyses show slightly elevated concentrations of nickel, zinc, lead and PAH’s above the Vlarebo-Background values. However, all of the concentrations are lower than 80% of the Intervention Value for type II soil (= agricultural land), which means that no additional investigation is necessary. The Vlarebo Intervention Values are never reached.
No concentrations exceed the Walloon Background Values.
According to the procedure of the OVAM (Vlarebo), a conclusion has to be made for every separate parcel. Since the site is located in Liége, no soil certificate is necessary, therefore one conclusion is made for the whole site.
The conclusion can be summarized in the following statements:
    according to the current legislation there is no contamination above the intervention values on the site
 
    no additional soil investigation should be conducted on the site
 
    the slightly elevated concentrations of heavy metals are natural background values, and of no concern
 
    the parcels should not be registered as ‘polluted soils’
 
    no remedial action is necessary
Based on the soil analysis no further soil and groundwater investigation or remedial actions are recommended.
2.9 Site visit
For the present research one site visit was made.

3 SAMPLING STRATEGY
In this paragraph the suspected / potential source zones and sampling strategy are described, and this for different zones present on the site.
With the previous soil investigation dated 09/10/2000, different parcels (under which the current 450 G 2 (which was formerly part of a larger parcel)) were examined according to a self-developped strategy. This strategy was chosen because in Walloon, no specific regulations concerning soil investigation for activities other than service stations exist.
Given that the aim for the Investigation is to determine the environmental status of the site, that in the previous investigation no locations of risk could be identified and that it is unclear if the parcel 450 G 2 was sufficiently screened, it was decided to screen the terrain again according to strategy 1 as prescribed by the OVAM.
3.1 Strategy 1: screening of the research site
The site has a surface area of 37099 m2.
The larger part of the terrain is occupied by the warehouse / distribution center. At the north and the east side of the building a parking area is present. At the north side of the building the loading and unloading quays are located. Around the building there is a fire way (constructed in asphalt). To the south of the building there is an artificial creek and fallow ground.
Since — according to literature and former examinations in the region — the suspected groundwaterlevel is situated around 118 m-gl, no groundwater was examined.
3.1.1 Subdividing in blocs
In view of the surface area of the research site and the screening of the terrain, the terrain was subdivided in 6 blocs (see annex 8.4). Per bloc two drillings were performed, of which a soil sample was analyzed for the parameters foreseen in the Walloon Standard Analysis Package (WSAP).
3.1.2 Unsuspected terrain part
The part of the terrain which is unsuspected comprises the complete area. No drillings were allowed inside the warehouse, therefore all drillings were placed outside and around the warehouse.
The unsuspected zones have a combined surface area of ca. 37099 m2.
Since in these zones no extra specific parameters of concern could be identified, the selected samples were all just analyzed for the parameters of the Walloon Standard Analysis Package.
3.2 Summarizing table
On the next page, the summary of the sampling strategy is presented.

4 FIELDWORK AND LABORATORY RESEARCH
This chapter describes the conducted fieldwork and laboratory research. The sensory perceptions and analysis results are presented.
4.1 Field research and sampling
All drillings and sampling presented in this report are performed according the OVAM guidelines, published in the “Compendium for sampling and analysis”, as approved by the Ministerial Order of 11/01/2008.
The drillings and sampling are executed by ASA, Industriepark Brechtsebaan 10, 2900 Schoten.
The followed procedures are given in annex 7.3. The complete drilling report with the observed soil structure on the site is given in annex 7.4. A short overview of the observed details is given in the following paragraphs.
4.1.1 Motivation for the location of drillings and wells
In chapter 3 an overview is given of the performed drillings and wells per zone of risk and source of contamination. The eventual deviations of the strategy are discussed here.
It was necessary to keep the warehousefloor intact, therefore all drillings were placed outside the building.
On 4 drilling locations, it was impossible to get any deeper than 50-60cm: a very hard Impenetrable layer of unknown origin prevented any further drilling. Severals drillings were replaced, but each time the impenetrable layer prevented further drilling.
4.1.2 Soil structure
For a detailed description of the geology and hydrogeology, reference is made to paragraph 2.3.
During the fieldwork, following soil profile was observed: beneath all asphalt hardening on the terrain, an artificial, dark brown layer of sand was found until a depth of around 60cm. This layer contained a lot of stone. Below the layer of sand, a more loamy brown layer was found. At a lot of these drilling locations, it was impossible to get any deeper than 50-60cm: a very hard impenetrable layer prevented any further drilling. At drilling locations where no hardening was located on the surface the underground consisted of a brown layer of loam.
The complete bore logs logs are given in annex 7.4.
The organoleptic/sensory observations are given in the table below.

4.3 Analysis results
4.3.1 Reference values Flanders
On the 29th of October 1995 the Decree on soil remediation issued by the Flemish government became effective (B.S. 29/4/1995). This legislation has meanwhile been cancelled by the Flemish Government and replaced by a new decree.
The new Decree on soil remediation and soil protection (B.S. 22/01/2007) became effective on 01/06/2008. In this new decree, the striving levels and remediation standards for pollution substances in soil and groundwater were determined. In the Decree, distinction is made between striving values for soil quality and soil remediation levels.
Striving levels reflect the concentration of contaminating substances in soil or groundwater which can be found in non-polluted soils with comparable soil features.
Aim levels reflect the level of soil pollution under which a soil can be used to its potential without any restrictions.
Soil remediation levels reflect a level of contamination which can cause serious adverse effects for man and environment. When these soil remediation values are passed, the contamination is regarded serious.
Legally also a difference is made between the different types of land use (I: nature, II: agricultural area, III: residential area, IV: recreation area and V: industrial area). Use of sites situated in areas for groundwater exploitation and the preservation area’s therefore are regarded as land use type I.
For the evaluation of an eventual contamination also the point in time at which the contamination came about has to be considered. A distinction is made between the following types:
Historical soil contamination is a contamination originating before 29/10/1995.
New soil contamination is a contamination originating after 28/10/1995.
Mixed soil contamination is a contamination originating partially before and partially after the date of coming into operation of the Decree Soil Remediation (29/10/1995), as far as the two types of contamination can not be separated.
Increased concentrations are considered a “pollution” when the analyses show concentrations which are higher than the aim level.
Parameters for which no soil remediation levels are known, the evaluation values are determined according to the Dutch striving and intervention values, as given in the Guide for Soil Protection. When applicable, these are mentioned in annex 7.9.
4.3.2 Analysis results for soil samples
The analysis results of the soil samples are listed in the tables below.
A comparison is made between the measured concentrations and the soil background and remediation levels. For the soil samples, these standards are corrected for the content of clay, organic matter and pH, as is legally foreseen. The contents which are used are mentioned for every sampling point (drilling). The measured values for organic matter and clay are given in the following table:

In the Walloon region, currently one legislation and one decree exist on soil remediation and soil protection:
  -   The Walloon legislation concerning service stations, dated 4/03/1999. This legislation is only applicable to service stations.
 
  -   The Decree on soil remediation and rehabilitation of economical sites (M.B. 07/06/2004). This decree is not yet active.
Concerning the soil remediation levels, only the levels determined in the legislation concerning service stations are currently legally applicable. Both the legislation concerning service stations as the Decree on soil remediation and rehabilitation of economical sites are using a system with 3 concentration values (Valeur Référence, Valeur Seuil en Valeur d’Intervention).
Valeur Référence reflect the concentration of contaminating substances in soil or groundwater which can be found in non-polluted soils with comparable soil features.
Valeur Seuil determines whether additional investigation is necessary.
Valeur d’Intervention reflect a level of contamination which can cause serious adverse effects for man and environment. When these soil remediation values are passed, the contamination is regarded serious.
Since no service station existsts on the research site, concentrations will be indicatively compared to the levels as stated in the Decree on soil remediation and rehabilitation of economical sites.
4.3.4 Analysis results for soil samples
The analysis results of the soil samples are listed in the tables below.
A comparison is made between the measured concentrations and the soil background and remediation levels. These standards do not have to be corrected for the content of clay, organic matter and pH.
The soil remediation levels for land use type V, INDUSTRIAL AREA, are used.
Measured values which exceed the Walloon “Valeur Référence” (VR) significantly, but remaining below the Valeur d’Intervention (VI), are printed in Italic. Concentrations exceeding the Walloon Valeur d’Intervention (VI) for the applicable type of land use are given in bold. Concentrations exceeding the Valeur Seuil (VS) are underlined.

5 DATA EVALUATION
This chapter describes per zone and source the results and formulated conclusions.
For a dear description of the parcels, zones, potential contaminating sources, drillings, wells and sampling, reference is made to the previous chapters. There also an overview of the sensory data and field measurements is given.
The gathered data shows no gaps.
Since the activities on the site started after 2000, eventual encountered contaminations which can be linked with the activities on the site have to be considered as “new pollution”.
5.1 Evaluation status of contamination per zone
Paragraph 4.1.1. gives schematically the executed drillings per parcel and per zone. The field observations and analysis results are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Unsuspected zones (strategy 1; drillings 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12)
According to Flemish regulations:
Three soil samples show concentrations only slightly above the striving levels for PAH and two samples show a slightly elevated concentration above the striving level for mineral oil. Almost all soil samples show elevated concentrations for heavy metals, exceeding the striving levels. However, all concentrations remain well below 80% of the soil remediation levels for industrial land use.
Since all concentrations remain well below 80% of the soil remediation levels for industrial land use, no further investigations are necessary and no further actions have to be taken.
According to Walloon regulations:
All concentrations for mineral oil stay below the “Valeur Référence”. Six soil samples show elevated concentrations for PAH, slightly exceeding the “Valeur Référence”. Eight soil samples show concentrations above the “Valeur Référence” for heavy metals of which one sample (3 (0, 10-0,50)) is slightly exceeding the “Valeur Seuil” for the heavy metal Zinc. However, all measured concentrations stay well below 80% of the “valeur d’intervention”.
Since the analysis certificate mentions that sample 3 (0,10-0,50) has been grinded cryogenically, it can be assumed that the sample consisted largely out of stone instead of soil. The bore log affirms the presence of these stones. Considering this, it can be stated that the result is not representing the state of the soil on the research site and the result can be disregarded.
The groundwater is not investigated in this zone.
There are no indications for the presence of NAPLs (Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids).
No contamination is detected in this zone.
There is no need for a descriptive soil investigation.
There is no need for precaution measures or for limiting the usage of this zone of the site.
5.1.1 Groundwater evaluation
In view of the facts that the lightly elevated zinc concentration in the solid phase is only slightly above the “Valeur Seuil” and far below the 80% level of the “valeur d’intervention” and the fact that the groundwater is present more than 118 meters below ground level, it can be assumed that the risk to the groundwater originating from zinc will be very unlikely.

5.2 Summary per zone
In the following table a schematic overview is given of the observed contaminations per zone.

(*)   The Observed slightly elevated zinc concentration is most likely caused by the presence of large ammounts of stones in the analyzed sample. Considering the fact that the sample has been cryogenically grinded, it can be stated that the result is not representing the state of the soil on the research site and the result can be disregarded.

6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
On instruction of PROLOGIS BELGIUM III BVBA an explorative soil investigation is performed on a site located in HERSTAL, Avenue du Parc Industriel 159.
The complete site consists of following cadastral parcels:
                         
Municipality     Municipality N°   Section   Parcel N°     Surface (m2)
 
Herstal 7 DIV/LIERS/
    62051     A   450 G 2     37099  
The administrative data of instructors, owners and users are found in the pre-study (chapter 2).
The site is located in an industrial zone (Parc Industriel) 5 km to the north of the city Luik. To the west an exit of the highway E313 Luik-Hasselt is found, to the south-east the A3 motorway.
The total industrial zone comprises an area of ca. 180 ha. The area is sold to small, medium and large sized companies like ISPC International (food branch), Air Liquide SA (compressed gasses), Eurofreins SA (car parts), Galliker Transports SA (transport company), HTC Wallonie (tankcleaning), Techspace Aero (development of aeronautical propulsion engines), ...
Nine groundwater extraction wells exist in an area of 2 km around the center of the research site. As far as known, there are no protection zones for groundwater extraction located near the research site. Close to the site are 3 creeks (2 situated at 370 meters from the site (to the east and to the north-west side), 1 situated next to the southern site of the building at the research site. Three small small surface waters are situated within 614 meters around the research site, located to the east, west and north-west side of the site.
In 2000 the site was owned by S.P.I. (Service Promotion Initiatives en province de Liège, Rue Lonhienne, 14 in 4000 Liège). During this period, the land was used as agricultural land (mainly for cereals).
In 2001, ProLogis became owner of the terrain and the land was divided in 2 pieces (Lot I and Lot II) with each a surface of app. 8 ha. On one of these parcels (Lot I) a building (Phase I) has been constructed. The building was rented out in 2002 to the company “Skechers”, which uses it as a depot and distribution center for shoes.
Construction of the second part of the building (Phase II) (on the second parcel (Lot II) commenced in august 2008. The second part of the building has also been rented out to the company “Skechers”, which is using it until present day.
As far as known, no accidental spills have occurred on the research site.
There has been a change of the soil profile: the terrain has been partly excavated for the construction of the loading and unloading zones and for the construction of the foundations. Underneath the concrete or other hardening materials, a layer of debris is used as foundation.
As far as known, no polluted soil is excavated, no soil remediation has occured, nor a significant groundwater lowering was performed.
The terrain is used by the company “Skechers” as a depot and distribution center for shoes.
During the fieldwork, following soil profile was observed: beneath all asphalt hardening on the terrain, an artificial, dark brown layer of sand was found until a depth of around 60cm. This layer contained a lot of stone. Below the layer of sand, a more loamy brown layer was found. At a lot of these drilling locations, it was impossible to get any deeper than 50-60cm: a very hard impenetrable layer prevented any further drilling. At drilling locations where no hardening was located on the surface the underground consisted of a brown layer of loam.
According to the “Walloon Geo-Environmental website” (OGEAD — http://environnement.wallonie.be/cartosig/ogead/#) the groundwater can be qualified as vulnerable.

For an overview of the sampling strategy and the performed fieldwork and laboratory research, reference is made to the summarizing table in the chapter “Sampling strategy”.
In the following paragraphs per cadastral parcel a conclusion is given.
6.1 Parcel: HERSTAL 7 DIV (62051), section A, parcel n° 450 G 2
In none of the soil samples, the soil remediation standards, or 80% of these levels, were surpassed.

There is no need to perform a descriptive soil investigation on the cadastral parcel.

There is no need for precaution measures or for limiting the usage of the cadastral parcel.

For this research sufficient information could be gathered.
6.2 General
According to Flemish regulations:
A few soil samples show concentrations only slightly above the striving levels for PAH and mineral oil. Almost all soil samples show elevated concentrations for heavy metals, exceeding the striving levels. Since all concentrations remain well below 80% of the soil remediation levels for industrial land use, no further investigations are necessary and no further actions have to be taken.
According to Walloon regulations:
One sample (3 (0,10-0,50)) is slightly exceeding the “Valeur Seuil” for the heavy metal Zinc. All other concentrations are — at the very most — exceeding the “Valeur Référence”.
Since the analysis certificate mentions that the sample 3 (0,10-0,50) has been grinded cryogenically, it can be assumed that the sample consisted largely out of stone instead of soil. The bore state affirms the presence of this stone. Considering this, it can be stated that the result is not representing the state of the soil on the site and the result can be disregarded.
No further investigations are necessary and no further actions have to be taken.
A groundwater investigation was not performed. However, it can be assumed that the risk to the groundwater, originating from the observed slightly elevated concentrations for zinc, will be very unlikely.
No contamination was observed.
There is no need for precaution measures or for limiting the usage of the cadastral parcel.

ANNEX 7.3: Technical description sampling
Drillings and wells
Drillings are normally executed manually with a Edelman manual drilling set. On locations where pavements/hard surfaces are present, first hole is made with a diamond drill. If the sub ground contains significant debrit, a mechanical spiral drill is used.
On predefined places, the drillings are finished to wells. A HDPE-tubing is used with a diameter of 50 x 51,4 mm, and a filter length of 2 m. The different pieces are screwed together. The filter element (standard length 2 m) is placed cutting the groundwater level, so that possible LNAPL (light non aqueous phase layer) can be detected. The filter element is surrounded by a filter stocking and fine gravel. Above the filter, the drilling hole is filled with clay over a length of approx. 50 cm. The water in the wells is pumped directly after finishing.
Soil sampling
On the site a number of drillings are performed. Each 50 cm or when the soil composition is changing, a sample is taken. For each drilling the organoleptically most contaminated sample is selected. When a contamination is not obvious or present, the surface sample is selected. In the presence of underground potential contaminating sources, the sample at the base level of this source is selected. Modifications of the sampling procedure are always possible and if necessary are clarified in the report.
Groundwater sampling
Sampling of the wells takes place only at least a week after placement. The wells are pumped empty thoroughly (5x its volume), after which a sample is taken with a peristaltic pump. During sampling the temperature, conductivity and pH of the groudwater is measured for each sampling point.
The selected samples are sent for laboratory analysis within 24h.
The exact location of drillings and gauches is presented in a detailed plan of the site, which can be found in annex 8.4.

6. EVALUATION OF ANALYTICAL RESULTS
Results from laboratory analyses show slightly elevated concentrations of nickel, zinc, lead and PAH’s above the Vlarebo-Background values. However, all of the concentrations are lower than 80% of the Intervention Value for type II soil (= agricultural land), which means that no additional investigation is necessary. The Vlarebo Intervention Values are never reached.
No concentrations exceed the Walloon Background Values.
According to the procedure of the OVAM (Vlarebo), a conclusion has to be made for every separate parcel. Since the site is located in Liege, no soil certificate is necessary, therefore one conclusion is made for the whole site.
The conclusion can be summarized in the following statements:
    according to the current legislation there is no contamination above the intervetnion values on the site
 
    no additional soil investigation should be conducted on the site
 
    the slightly elevated concentrations of heavy metals are natural background values, and of no concern
 
    the parcels should not be registered as ‘polluted soils’
 
    no remedial action is necessary
Based on the soil analysis no further soil and groundwater investigation or remedial actions are recommended.

Re: Hauts-Sarts economic activity park — Herstal
Dear Mrs Clerinx
As agreed, I am confirming the content of our telephone conversation today.
The area concerned by the industrial construction is very sensitive archeologically. It is in fact crossed by a roadway which, in Roman times, linked Tongres to Herstal (« Brunehaut roadway » on the plan). The surrounding land is therefore liable to contain ancient remains relating to the antique road. Any permit application put in to the municipal Administration concerned is sent to the Designated Official — Town Planning Division, Ministry of the Walloon region — who automatically forwards it to the Archaeological Service, Management of Liege. In the case in question, the latter will then give a notice requesting the insertion of an archaeological clause and to be invited to any preparatory work meeting. It goes without saying that, the sooner the Archaeology Service is informed of the project (execution times, possible stages of work...), the better the cooperation will be and, thus, planning of any intervention by our service, prior to implementation of the project.
Hoping this information meets with your expectation, I remain
Yours etc.
