The User questionnaire and Owner transaction screening questionnaire are contained in Appendix E.A copy of the Scope of Work is contained in Appendix F.The glossary of terms associated with an ASTM Phase I ESA is contained in Appendix G. 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to conduct an appropriate inquiry into previous ownership and uses of the property to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the Landowner Liability Protections (LLPs) limitations on liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) "landowner liability protections" or "LLPs". These potential environmental conditions are identified as recognized environmental conditions and historical recognized environmental conditions. (See Appendix G for definitions.) The goal of this assessment is not to demonstrate that no hazardous materials are present at the Site. The assessment is necessary, however, to complete "...all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practice" [42 USC § 9601 (35) (B)]. The use of an environmental professional in the performance of this assessment will minimize environmental risks,but cannot completely eliminate these risks. �s :ir CONDOR
