contacted Lisa Dewitt to confirm that the CGA for the Idaho Pole Company facility did indeed
bisect the L Street property. She confirmed that they are within the CGA but outside the
contaminated zone. She said IPC owns the residential property immediately south of the
former slaughterhouse. I asked why they were included when the wells on the L Street
property tested clean she said that they had imposed a substantial buffer to protect human
health. I asked if they were liable for the environmental impacts and she said they were not as
long as they followed the institutional controls in the report. I said I would send her an email
regarding what, if any, wells were sampled on the L Street property and what the results were

INTERVIEWER: TIME:
Mike Ellerd 11:30am
Tom Deibele,the former owner of the Vollmer Slaughterhouse,was interviewed in person on July 6, 2005. He
stated that the site was used historically as a slaughterhouse and rendering plant beginning in 1938 and that a
wastewater lagoon was used to handle wastewater from the operation. Slaughterhouse operations stopped
in 1983. He then processed box beef until approximately 1988. Yellowstone game processing leased the
building until 2004. Industrial uses at the site included fertilizer mixing/storage and woodworking. Mr.
Deibele indicated he was aware that industrial chemicals were stored on the property.
Mr. Deibele stated that he owned the site for about 30 years. He removed the hay shed and a few
outbuildings, but everything else was left as it was when he bought the property. Several underground
storage tanks were in-use on the site when he purchased the property, but he took the tanks out of service
and crushed them in the tank basin when he purchased the property because they were known to have
leaked.The crushed tanks remained buried on the site until the spring of 2005 when they were removed. Mr.
Deibele indicated that a soil sample was collected from beneath the crushed tanks and was submitted for
laboratory analysis during a previous environmental investigation. He recalled that the soil sample results
indicated the presence of some type of solvent, but that no regulatory standards were exceeded. He also
indicated that groundwater samples were collected from the former wastewater infiltration pit, and again
Mr. Deibele indicated the results indicated the presence of some type of solvent, but no regulatory standards
were exceeded. Mr. Deibele also had a monitoring well installed in the southwest area of the site to see if
there were impacts from Idaho Pole. Although the environmental report with sampling results is not
available, he recalled the testing had shown that groundwater is clean. He said the creek that flows through
the property had been polluted from Idaho Pole but it is now clean.
