Description of Selected General Terms and Acronyms Term/Acronym Description Controlled Recognized Environmental Condition is defined in ASTM E1527-13 as"a recognized environmental condition resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority(for example, as evidenced by the issuance of a no further action letter or equivalent, or meeting risk-based criteria established by regulatory CREC authority),with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls(for example, property use restrictions, activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or engineering controls).A condition mnsidered by the environmental professional to be a controlled recognized environmental condition shall be listed in the findings section of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report,and as a recognized environmental condition in the conclusions section of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment DOT U.S.Department of Transportation EPA U.S.Environmental Protection Agency Emergency Response Notification System.An EPA-maintained federal database which stores information on notifications of oil discharges and ERNS hazardous substance releases in quantities greater than the applicable reportable quantity under CERCLA. ERNS is a cooperative data- sharin effort between EPA,DOT,and the National Response Center. ESA Environmental Site Assessment FRP Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic As defined under CERCLA,this is(A)any substance designated pursuant to section 1321(b)(2)(A)of Title 33, (B)any element, compound, mixture, solution, or substance designated pursuant to section 9602 of this title; (C) any hazardous waste having characteristics identified Hazardous under or listed pursuant to section 3001 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act(with some exclusions); (D)any toxic pollutant listed under section Substance 1317(a)of Titie 33;(E)any hazardous air pollutant listed under section 112 of the Clean Air Act and(F)any imminently hazardous chemical substance or mixture with respect to which the EPA Administrator has taken action under section 2606 of Title 15.This term does not include petroleum,including crude oil or any fraction thereof which is not otherwise listed as a hazardous substance under subparagraphs(A)through F above,and the tens include natural gas,orsynthetic gas usable for fuel or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). This is defined as having characteristics identified or listed under section 3001 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act(with some exceptions).RCRA, Hazardous as amended by the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1980,defines this term as a"solid waste,or combination of solid wastes.which because of its Waste quantity,concentration,or physical,chemical,or infectious characteristics may(A)muse,or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible,or incapacitating reversible illness;or(B)pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated,stored,transported.or disposed of,or otherwise managed."

Before calling the past release a historical recognized environmental condition, the environmental professional must determine whether the past release is a recognized environmental condition at the time of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is conducted(for example,if there has been a change in the regulatory criteria).If the EP considers the past release to be a recognized environmental condition at the time the Phase I ESA is mnducted, the condition shall be included in the conclusions section of the report as a recognized environmental condition." A listing of sites with institutional and/or engineering controls in place. IC include administrative measures, such as groundwater use restrictions, construction restrictions, property use restrictions, and post remediation care requirements intended to prevent exposure to IC/EC contaminants remaining on site. Deed restrictions are generally required as part of the institutional controls.EC include various forms of caps, building foundations, liners, and treatment methods to create pathway elimination for regulated substances to enter environmental media or effect human health.
