CONSULTANT' S scope of work includes completion of a Phase I ESA for the property( ies) listed above and consists of the following: Completing a regulatory database search of publicly environmental records ( for the property of interest and nearby properties). available federal and state This search will typically identify any environmental matters that have been brought to the attention of the regulatory agencies. If the property or any adjoining property is identified in the regulatory database search of government environmental records, pertinent regulatory files and or records associated with the listing may be reviewed, if warranted, at an additional cost, depending on the amount of records. Reviewing registries or publically available lists of environmental liens and/ or actitivity use limitations ( AULs) such as engineering controls and institutional controls. Note: current related costs assume that the subject Property is contained in one parcel or deed and has one owner. If the Property consists of additional parcels/ deeds and/ or additional owners, third party costs for the Environmental LienSearch/ AULs will increase and these costs will be passed onto the CLIENT. Conducting a site visit and inspection of each property to observe existing property conditions and surrounding land use. Conditions will be documented with written field notes, field checklists, and/ or photographs. In particular, we will look for any signs of waste disposal or contamination; potential environmental issues; any significant emissions, discharges, or hazardous waste; and potential impacts to the subject property from adjacent properties. Visually inspecting adjoining properties from the subject property and/ or public areas. Evaluating the potential presence of wells, tanks ( above and below ground), and any waste disposal facilities, whether active or closed.

Evaluating the potential for migration of hazardous substances or petroleum products in soil, groundwater, and subsurface vapor. Identifying registered water wells and oil/ gas wells within a 0. 5- mile radius of the subject property through a review of well logs for registered water wells. Wetlands: A wetlands inventory is not part of the Phase I ESA scope of work. However, available wetland inventory maps will be reviewed.
