Califia LLC River Islands Phase 2 5044.000.008 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment 2.0 RECORDS REVIEW 2.1 PROPERTY RECORDS 2.1.1 Title Report/Ownership The Title Report lists recorded land title detail, ownership fees, leases, land contracts, easements, liens, deficiencies, and other encumbrances attached to or recorded against a subject property. Laws and regulations pertaining to land trusts vary from state to state and the detail of information presented in a Title Report can vary greatly by jurisdiction. As a result, ENGEO utilizes a Title Report, when provided to us, as a supplement to other historical record sources. A Preliminary Title Report for the Property, prepared by Old Republic Title Insurance Company and dated March 3, 2020, was provided for our review. The Property title is vested in Califia LLC, a California limited liability company and River Islands Stage 2B, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. No references to environmental liens, deed restrictions or other potential environmental issues were noted. This report is included in Appendix B. 2.1.2 Environmental Liens and Activity Use Limitations No references to environmental liens or deed restrictions were noted in the aforementioned Preliminary Title Report. In addition, a questionnaire completed by the Client indicated that they are not aware of any environmental cleanup liens recorded against the Property.

There were no environmental liens activity use limitations found for the Property. 2.2 HISTORICAL RECORD SOURCES The purpose of the historical record review is to develop a history of the previous uses or occupancies of the Property and surrounding area in order to identify those uses or occupancies that are likely to have led to recognized environmental conditions on the Property. 2.2.1 Historical Topographic Maps/Aerial Photographs/Sanborn Maps Historical USGS topographic maps, aerial photographs, and Sanborn Fire insurance maps were reviewed to determine if discernible changes pertaining to the Property had been recorded.
