• Visual assessment of the accessible areas of the subject property and review of readily available public records to assess the presence or absence of the following non-scope considerations: ACMs and LBP.

• Preparation of a Phase I ESA report.

11.3 Significant Assumptions

Information obtained from the Client, the Client’s representative, subject property representatives, individuals interviewed, and prior environmental reports is considered accurate unless VERTEX’s reasonable inquiries clearly revealed otherwise.

Conditions observed were considered representative of areas that were not observed unless otherwise indicated.

The primary direction of groundwater flow is assumed to follow topography, unless otherwise indicated by measurement of the potentiometric surface or other quantifiable data.

VERTEX reviewed reasonably ascertainable public records with respect to past operations and ownership of the subject property to identify past usage. VERTEX is not a professional title insurance firm and makes no guarantee, express or implied, that the listing reviewed represented a comprehensive delineation of past subject property ownership or tenancy for legal purposes. The accuracy and completeness of information maintained in public records by public agencies or other entities is assumed to be sufficient for the purposes of this Phase I ESA, and independent verification of its validity is beyond the scope of this investigation.
