C. LIMITATIONS The Limited Phase II findings are based on the conditions existing at the site on March 19 through March 23, 2012, when the field sampling was conducted. This work was performed in accordance with the January 23, 2012, proposal that was approved by the Client and the site owner. This Assessment has been conducted and prepared in accordance with generally accepted practices and procedures exercised by reputable professionals under similar circumstances. PEI makes no other warranties or guarantees, either expressed or implied, as to the findings, opinions, or recommendations contained in this report. Physical limitations to the field work included the following: ♦ The chemical mixing room had three roll-up doors that have been replaced by framing and plywood. One of these "walls" had to be taken down temporarily to access the room with drilling equipment. ♦ Other rooms in the main building were inaccessible to the drilling equipment. ♦ Due to significant alterations to the property's surface and structures over time (e.g., site re-paving, pavement patching, installation and removal of interior and exterior equipment and subsurface items, etc.), visual observations and geophysical survey results may have been affected such that potential areas or items of concern may not be readily recognizable or included in the work performed. This Limited Phase II was not fully comprehensive in nature but was restricted to areas discussed herein. The findings presented in this report were based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the areas investigated during the time frame of this assessment. These findings may not be considered representative of future conditions in the areas investigated or conditions in any untested areas of the site. This investigation was performed in accordance with generally accepted practices of the profession undertaking currently similar studies in the same geographical area. No other warranty is expressed or implied. It should be recognized that this study was not intended to be a definitive investigation of potential impact at the subject property. Given that the Scope of Services for this investigation was limited and that the investigation was further limited by the lack of accessibility in some areas, it is possible that currently unrecognized impacts (or higher levels than those found) may exist at the site. Therefore, PEI cannot act as insurers and cannot "certify" that a site is free from environmental contamination, that impact does not exist below a certain level in other areas of the site, or that some other, currently unrecognized, environmental impact does not exist at the site. The recommendations provided in this report do not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon in any way for legal interpretations. This report has been prepared for the sole use of the Client, affiliates, and assigns of the Client.
