Himanshu Mehta, P . E . Geosyntec <br /> 7 May 2008 consultants <br /> Page 11 <br /> problems . Geosyntec has provided you with a budget for conduct of this site visit (and the related <br /> interview) by an "environmental professional" as that term is defined by EPA' s AAI rule. <br /> Geosyntec ' s onsite staff will endeavor to traverse the majority of the site on foot to perform a <br /> visual review of the major site features . It is assumed that the site is not overgrown to the extent <br /> that access is limited . Geosyntec ' s onsite staff shall seek evidence regarding the following : <br /> current and past uses of the site and adjoining sites as well as the area in general ; geologic, <br /> hydrologic, and topographic conditions for the site ; structures and roads present onsite; the onsite <br /> potable water supply and sewage disposal system; hazardous substances and petroleum products <br /> that have been used, stored, or discarded onsite ; onsite storage tanks ; onsite odors ; onsite pools <br /> of liquid ; onsite drums ; onsite unidentified substance containers ; potential polychlorinated <br /> biphenyl (PCB ) -containing equipment and materials ; the onsite heating/cooling system ; onsite <br /> stains/corrosion which evidence a chemical release into the ground or surface water; onsite drains <br /> and sumps ; onsite pits, ponds and lagoons ; onsite stressed vegetation ; onsite solid waste and <br /> waste water; onsite wells ; and onsite septic systems . <br /> As mentioned above, as part of our reconnaissance, Geosyntec will perform a cursory visual <br /> review of adjacent properties . The purpose of this effort is to evaluate the potential for current or <br /> past activities on those properties that may have an environmental impact on the site . Geosyntec <br /> will not enter those adjacent properties to perform this reconnaissance. <br /> As part of our site reconnaissance ( and if not completed prior to the site reconnaissance under <br /> Task C) , Geosyntec will attempt to interview an individual considered knowledgeable about <br /> historical practices at the site (for budget purposes, we assume this individual will be a current <br /> site owner/occupant and/or a former site owner/occupant designated by you who has detailed <br /> knowledge of onsite land use history) . Please note that we assume the individual will be readily <br /> accessible by telephone number(s) provided by you or when Geosyntec performs the site <br /> reconnaissance . Inquiries shall be restricted to seeking information relative to that required by <br /> ASTM E1527 - 05 . <br /> Please note that in performing this Phase I ESA, Geosyntec has not budgeted for and does not <br /> intend to evaluate or provide consultation regarding the "Non- Scope Considerations" as defined <br /> in ASTM E1527 -05 (these include, but are not limited to radon, lead based paint, asbestos , <br /> wetlands , wildlife, historical/archeological resources, regulatory compliance, etc . ) . <br /> XR0805 l R/CCR08045 R.
