5. Endangerment During Implementation. In the event DTSC determines that any activity or operations caused by or on behalf of the Redevelopment Agency or its agents (whether or not pursued in compliance with the Oversight Agreement) may pose an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health and safety of people on any Property or group of Properties or in the surrounding area or to the environment: i) the Redevelopment Agency will take the necessary actions to abate the endangerment it created for such period of time as may be needed to abate the endangerment; or ii) if DTSC determines that conditions require DTSC to exercise its authority to abate the endangerment, the Redevelopment Agency may stop further implementation of the Oversight Agreement as it applies to a Property or group of Properties. However, if the Redevelopment Agency stops implementation, the Redevelopment Agency must meet the conditions under Section 12 of this Exhibit (Notification of Environmental Condition) and, if necessary, must revise the applicable Scope of Work and meet the stop-work conditions as provided in Section 23 of this Exhibit (Amendments). If DTSC determines that an endangerment is the result of Redevelopment Agency actions that have caused a release of hazardous substances or substantially worsened the endangerment, the Redevelopment Agency will take those reasonable steps DTSC determines are necessary to mitigate the condition that the Redevelopment Agency caused or substantially worsened and to secure the Property or group of Properties in order to avoid endangerment to the community. These steps may include installing a protective cover, constructing fencing and signage or other appropriate means to protect public health and the environment. The Redevelopment Agency will not be compelled to fully assess or mitigate a release of hazardous substances if DTSC determines that the Redevelopment Agency did not cause or substantially worsen the release. 6. Condition Precedent. It is expressly understood and agreed that DTSC's receipt of the advance payment described in subsection 2.7.1 of the Oversight Agreement is a condition precedent to any obligation of DTSC to provide consultation, oversight, review and/or comment on documents or to provide any work or perform any activity pursuant to the Oversight Agreement. 7. Record Retention. DTSC will retain all cost records associated with the work performed under the Oversight Agreement for such time periods as may be required by applicable state law. The Redevelopment Agency may request to inspect all documents that support DTSC's cost determination in accordance with the Public Records Act, Government Code section 6250 et seq. 8. Project Coordinator. The work performed for each Property or group of Properties pursuant to the Oversight Agreement will be under the direction and supervision of a qualified Project Coordinator, with expertise in hazardous substance and hazardous waste site cleanup. For each Property or group of Properties, the Redevelopment Agency will submit: a) the name and address of the Project Coordinator; and b) in order to demonstrate expertise in hazardous substance and hazardous waste site cleanup, the resume of the Project Coordinator.
