1.0 Summary In this Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) we have performed all appropriate inquiry in conformance with the standards and practices set forth in 40 CFR Part 312 — Standards for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiry. Moreover, in keeping with the rule, we have adhered to the general recommendations for format and used the industry-accepted definitions articulated in the American Society for Testing and Materials Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, Designation E-1527-05 (the Practice). This ESA focuses on applying good commercial and customary practice to identify recognized environmental conditions with respect to a parcel (or parcels) of commercial real estate. The primary focus is to determine whether any on-site operations, either present or historical, have caused or contributed to releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products to the environment. Additionally, the ESA requires the environmental professional to evaluate business environmental risk associated with the parcel that may ultimately necessitate investigation beyond that identified within the minimum scope of the Practice. Special attention is also given to understanding whether the property may be affected by releases emanating from neighboring properties. In the process of preparing this ESA, the following steps were taken: a records review from various sources, site reconnaissance, interviews with persons knowledgeable about the Subject Property (defined below), evaluation of the revealed information, and preparation of rhis report. 1.1 SUBJECT PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Wenck Associates, Inc.
