k'g KLEINFELDER 7 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Kleinfelder performed this Phase I ESA in accordance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E1527-97. The purpose ol'this assessment was to evaluate recognizable environmental conditions associated with the present or past usage, storage, or disposal of hazardous substances or petroleum hydrocarbons at the: subject site. The findings of this environmental assessment area presented below, and are based on Kleinfelder's knowledge of the subject site from our site observations and information gathered during our review. These findings are subject to the limitations presented at the end of this report, and may change if additional information becomes available. 7.1 BACKGROUND Based upon our review of aerial photographs and topographic maps, the site has historically been used as a fallow agricultural field. Presently the site is a vacant plot of land with no vegetation present. 7.2 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Based upon the results of our research, Kleinfelder makes the following observations regarding the site. 1) On properties with a history ole agricultural use, many underground pipelines may exist. It was common for said pipelines to contain asbestos (e.g. Transite pipe). Subsurface exploration is not a part ole a typical Phase I Environmental Site Assessment scope of work. However, in the event that any subsurface structures are encountered during site development or excavation on site, care should be exercised in determining whether or not the subsurface structures contain asbestos. if they contain asbestos, they should be removed, handled, transported, and disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations. Additionally, if suspect materials are encountered, the signatories of this report should be notified immediately. 2) No surface evidence of contamination was noted on site. Kleinfelder recommends if stained soil, odorous soil, or other evidence of contamination is encountered on site, the signatories of this report should be contacted for additional consultation. 3) A pole mounted transformer is located on site. The transformers are in good condition with no obvious soil staining present. It is common to find polychlorinated biphenyl's (PCB) within the older pole mounted transformers. To verify that the transformers do not contain any PCB's, the local utility company should be contacted. 20-4328-01.1101l2019R556 Page 18 of 21 Copyright 1999. Kleintfelder. Inc. July 6, 1999
