Studies suggest that petroleum hydrocarbons leaking from underground fuel tanks rarely <br /> travel more than 250 feet from the point of release(Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, 16 October 1995), <br /> which minimizes the potential of sites with these type of releases to adversely impact down-gradient <br /> properties;however,oxygenated fuel additives(i.e.,methyl tert-butyl ether-MTBE)have recently been <br /> documented to migrate greater distances than petroleum hydrocarbons. <br /> The LUST database list included nine sites within a Y2-mile search radius of the subject property;none <br /> of the sites were adjacent properties and all were closed sites. <br /> Based on the closed status and distance from the property,AGE found no indication from the EDR report <br /> that these sites are of environmental concern to the subject property. <br /> Search Radius:Adiacent Properties <br /> CHNURS Database: The CICS database contains lists of unauthorized releases of oils and <br /> hazardous substances,typically from spills. <br /> The CICS list did not include adjacent properties. <br /> ERNS Database:The Emergency Response Notification System(ERNS)is a national database used to <br /> collect information on reported releases of oil and hazardous substances. <br /> The ERNS list included one site noted as McAllen Rd and Calaveras River; no information was listed <br /> for this entry and no database of environmental concern lists this site.AGE has insufficient information <br /> to comment on this database entry. <br /> FINDS Database: The FINDS database (Facility Index System) contains references to records from <br /> other governmental databases. Note that the database may contain references to out-of-date records <br /> formerly associated with a site. <br /> The FINDS list did not include adjacent properties. <br /> Advanced Geo Environmental,Inc. <br />
