Condor performed this environmental assessment in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process ` (Designation E-1527-94). The scope of work did not include other services that are not described in this report. Specifically excluded from the scope of work are (1) the evaluation of the Site for the presence of asbestos, radon, mold, 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. This ASTM Phase I ESA is thorough, but is not intended to identify all potential concerns, or to eliminate all risk of the subject properties 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 you better manage your risks. Such detailed services involve greater expense. We ask our clients to participate in identifying the level of service that will provide them with an acceptable level of risk. Land use, Site conditions (both on-Site and off-Site), and other factors will change over time.
