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