A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE J.R. SMITH, CLERK Page 1 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Consultant, Gary Exner of Advantage Consulting LLC, conducted a detailed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on October 5, 2021 of the subject property located at 2950 Airport West Drive, Vero Beach, FL 32967, serving as the ARRF (Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting) station adjacent to the Vero Beah Regional Airport. The property is presently owned by the City of Vero Beach as part of the Vero Beach Regional Airport properties. The property is identified as Indian River County Property Appraiser Property Identification #53970, Parcel ID# 32-39-26-00011-0480-00001.1, and is estimated to be approximately 2.72+/- Acres or 118,483+/- (SF) Square Feet in size. The parcel lies in Section 34, Township 32S, Range 26E is currently developed, and contains a single -story building with offices, fire rescue and fire fighting equipment, and storage/warehouse space. The subject parcel is an irregularly shaped rectangular parcel in the southwest side of the airport -owned property (see Site Vicinity Map - Appendix 1). The subject structure is 19,399 SF overall with 9,275 SF heated area, and was actually built in 1985. The subject property is further described in the Indian River County Property Appraiser's record cards included in Appendix 11. The ESA was performed in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments (ASTM Practice E 1527- 05E), Sections 6-11. Non -scope considerations, as defined in the standard practice, were not addressed. Based on the unknown historic use of the parcels and future excavation/development plans, additional inspections, sampling, and laboratory analyses may be necessary. 1.1 INTRODUCTION 1.1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Phase I ESA is to determine the likelihood of hazardous or petroleum substances being present on the subject property that would result in cleanup liability on behalf of the property owner. Almost all businesses use products containing hazardous or toxic materials as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) or the various environmental regulatory agencies. Often, the amount of material stored, generated, or disposed does not exceed reportable quantities as defined in Federal, State, or local environmental regulations. As a result, this report does not address hazardous or toxic substances that currently appear to be present in very small quantities below reportable levels, but over a length of time could exceed reportable quantities. The purpose and objective of the standard Phase I ESA was met through a physical site investigation of the subject parcel, a limited investigation of adjacent properties, interviews, and a review of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and available EDR (EDR/FirstSearch Technology Corporation) environmental databases. 1.1.2 Special Terms and Conditions This Phase I report is a professional opinion of the possibility of contamination impacts to the subject property resulting from direct visual observation and review of available EDR file information as compiled by others. This report was performed as a standardized ESA Phase 1 which did not include sampling or analyses of asbestos and/or lead based paints as a preemptive evaluation of potential risks that may be associated with any planned excavations/demolition of ground surfaces on the subject sites. The assessment does not include such environmental issues as naturally occurring toxic substances in the subsurface soils, rocks, water and/or toxicity of on-site flora, toxicity of common household products or consumables, contaminants or contaminant concentrations that are not now Recognized Environmental Concerns (REC), but may be under future regulations, radon gas, or wetland issues.
