AEI Consultants assumes the property has been correctly and accurately identified by the client, designated representative of the client, property contact, property owner, and property owner's representatives. 1.3 Limitations Property conditions, as well as local, state, tribal and federal regulations can change significantly over time. Therefore, the recommendations and conclusions presented as a result of this study apply strictly to the environmental regulations and property conditions existing at the time the study was performed. Available information has been analyzed using currently accepted assessment techniques and it is believed that the inferences made are reasonably representative of the property. AEI Consultants makes no warranty, expressed or implied, except that the services have been performed in accordance with generally accepted environmental property assessment practices applicable at the time and location of the study. Considerations identified by ASTM as beyond the scope of a Phase I ESA that may affect business environmental risk at a given property include the following: asbestos-containing materials, radon, lead-based paint, lead in drinking water, wetlands, regulatory compliance, cultural and historic resources, industrial hygiene, health and safety, ecological resources, endangered species, indoor air quality, mold, vapor intrusion, and high voltage lines. These environmental issues or conditions may warrant assessment based on the type of the property transaction; however, they are considered non-scope issues under ASTM Standard Practice E1527-05. If requested by the client, these non-scope issues are discussed in Section 6.2. Otherwise, the purpose of this investigation is solely to satisfy one of the requirements for qualification of the innocent landowner defense, contiguous property owner or bona fide prospective purchaser under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). ASTM Standard Practice E1527-05 and the EPA Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries (40 CFR Part 312) constitute the "all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practice" as defined in: 1) 42 U.S.0 § 9601(35)(B),referenced in the ASTM Standard Practice E1527-05. 2) Sections 101(35)(B) (ii) and (iii) of CERCLA and referenced in the EPA Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries (40 CFR Part 312). 3) 42 U.S.C. 9601(40) and 42 U.S.C. 9607(q). The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is not, and should not be construed as, a warranty or guarantee about the presence or absence of environmental contaminants that may affect the property. Neither is the assessment intended to assure clear title to the property in question. The sole purpose of investigation into property title records is to ascertain a historical basis of prior ►• land use. All findings, conclusions, and recommendations stated in this report are based upon facts, circumstances, and industry-accepted procedures for such services as they existed at the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment AE 1 Project No.274968 �.
