1 Monte Vista Entitlement,Inc. Phase:I ESA Peer Review and Limited Phase II ESA Report November i8,2003 Page 5 • Removal of the hydraulic lifts in the former J C Penney store may have left behind soil contaminated with hydraulic oil. (* • A UST may be present on parcel 149-200-10 south of the.location of the previously removed tank. It is Condor's opinion that the potential UST located in the sidewalk immediately north of parcel 149- 200-10 poses minimal risk to the site. Condor recommends that an environmental professional be on site during demolition of the buildings and any excavation activities to observe and respond to environmental problems that may arise. Limitations y The findings and recommendations contained in this letter are based on a review of the Phase I ESA J� provided to Condor by the client; a review of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps; a site reconnaissance of the outside areas of the parcels and the building basement; and a limited Phase lI ESA that included the advancement of two soil borings on July 31, 2002, the collection of soil samples from the borings, and the analysis of the soil samples by a California certified laboratory. The scope of work for this report is intended to provide a limited review of certain information related to the site and a limited investigation + into the potential existence of conditions of environmental concern associated with the possible presence of a UST on an adjoining property. This report does not include a .risk assessment. This report is not intended to eliminate all risk of the subject property bearing some degree of environmental liability. Condor cannot and will not warrant or certify that the site is free of contaminants, because it is impossible to know if such a condition exists. Although.risks can never be eliminated, more detailed and extensive investigations yield more information. This information may help .facilitate management of risks. This project was performed in general conformance with the technical scope of work prepared by Condor for Monte Vista Entitlement, Inc. The scope of work for this report was limited to a Phase I ESA peer review, a review of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, observation of the building basement, and. the advancement of two soil borings to investigate potential soil contamination on the site relating to a potential UST located on an adjacent property. Specifically excluded from the scope of work were(1) the evaluation of the site for the presence of asbestos, radon, and lead-based paint; (2) a survey of the site for wetlands or rare and endangered species; (3) a survey of the site for historical or cultural resources; and (4) research into the title history of the site. Condor has completed the Phase I ESA peer review and limited Phase II ESA as an independent contractor. The report was prepared with the customary.state of the practice and the prevailing standard of care for completing such reporting in California at this time. Condor shall not be subject to any expressed or implied warranties whatsoever. Land use site conditions (both on-site and off-site and other factors will chane over time.
