<br /> This report (herein referred to as Report) and the information herein contained has been prepared by
<br /> Hygienetics Environmental Services, Inc. (herein referred to as 14ygienetics) for the sole use of Foss
<br /> Environmental & Infrastructure (herein referred to as Client), or their assigned parties. The conclusions
<br /> 1 presented in the Report were based solely upon the services described therein, and not on scientific tasks or
<br /> procedure beyond the scope of described services or the time and budgetary constraints imposed by the
<br /> Client. The work described in this Report was carried out in accordance with the attached Standard
<br />{ Conditions outlined in the proposal/contract.
<br /> CThe purpose of this Report was to assess the physical characteristics of the}subject site with respect to the
<br /> presence in the environment of hazardous material/waste or petroleum products (herein referred to as oil).
<br /> No specific attempt was made to check on the compliance of present or past owners or operators of the site
<br /> with federal, state,or local laws and regulations, environmental or otherwise.
<br /> I
<br /> { In preparing this Report, Hygienetics has relied on certain information from observations made by
<br /> ` Hygienetics personnel during an on-site inspection and evaluation; personal interviews with the client,
<br /> Ltenants, other private parties and consultants; and research of available public information found in
<br /> documents, records, and maps provided by federal, state, and/of` local ;,regulatory agencies, document
<br /> libraries, and utility companies. This information is subject to the limitations of historical documentation,
<br /> as well as the availability and accuracy of pertinent records. Although some degree of overlap may exist in
<br /> j the information provided by these various sources,Hygicnetics did not attempt to independently verify the
<br /> accuracy or completeness of all information reviewed or received during the course of this work. The
<br /> accuracy of property boundaries, addresses, and/or assessor parcel numbers for the subject property or
<br /> properties examined for the investigation are the responsibility of the Client.
<br /> Observations were made of the site and of structures on the site as indicated within the Report. Where
<br /> access to portions of the site or to structures on the site was unavailable or limited,Hygienetics is unable to
<br /> render an opinion as to the presence of hazardous materiallwaste or oil, or to the presence of indirect
<br /> evidence relating to hazardous material/waste or oil, in that portion of the site or structure. In addition,
<br /> Hygienetics renders no opinion as to the presence of hazardous mat&ial/waste or oil, where direct
<br /> observation of the interior walls, floor, or ceiling of a structure on a site was obstructed by objects or
<br /> coverings on or over these surfaces or when access was denied by the property owner,operator or tenant.
<br /> 3i
<br /> The initial site investigation took into account the natural and man, de features of the site, including any
<br /> 1 unusual or suspect phenomenon. These factors, combined with the site geology,hydrogeology, hydrology,
<br /> topography, and past and present land uses served as a basis for choosing a methodology and location for
<br /> subsurface exploration as well as ground water and subsurface sampling, if done. The subsurface data, if
<br /> provided, is meant as a representative overview of the site. It is possible that despite the use of reasonable
<br /> care and interpretation, Hygienetics may not have identified illegally disposed hazardous materials and/or
<br /> wastes,unreported regulatory violations,the presence of hazardousl substances or wastes migrating onto the
<br /> subject property from off-site sources, and unpermitted, misidentified illegal, or inappropriately abandoned
<br /> underground tanks, vaults, drums, or other containers or buried impoundments on the subject property and
<br /> its immediate vicinity.
<br /> Unless otherwise specified in the Report, Hygienetics did not conduct surface or subsurface investigation
<br /> involving the physical collection and analysis of air, soil-vapor, surface'k or ground-water, bulk building
<br /> materials, transformer fluids, and contents of on-site tanks, or other containers; nor have any geophysical
<br /> investigations been conducted.
<br /> If a Phase II investigation was conducted, then the conclusions 'and recommendations contained in this
<br /> Report are based in part upon the data obtained from a limited number of soil samples obtained from
<br /> widely spaced subsurface explorations. The nature and extent of variation's between these explorations may
<br /> a not become evident until further exploration. If variations or other latent conditions then appear evident, it
<br /> ' will be necessary to reevaluate the conclusions and recommendations of this report.
