The Site Reconnaissance Update was performed at the request of SJCEHD as an addendum to Kleinfelder's Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report for the subject site, dated June 27, 2000. It is our understanding that this report will assist the client in recognizing current on-site environmental conditions compared to those noted in our prior report. Kleinfelder performed this Update in general accordance with the scope and limitations of the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM); Standard Practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process E1527-00, and our Proposal Number 0200 1 PROP.ENV/ST02P03 5 dated June 28, 2002. The purpose of this Update is to assist the client in recognizing environmental conditions noted on the site only compared to those on-site concerns noted in our prior report. A recognized environmental condition is defined by the ASTM standard as "the presence or likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater or surface water of the property". The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. 2.2.
