Design Team Consultation and Review of Design Documents
As the design of the proposed facilities progresses,Terracon can be consulted as necessary by
the design team in regards to questions or additional design considerations that arise
subsequent to completion of our geotechnical report. Terracon can also review the design
plans and specifications for conformance to the recommendations provided in our geotechnical
report,
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS ENGINEERING SCOPE OF SERVICES
When requested, Terracon will perform testing and observation services of construction
materials to verify compliance with project specifications. Testing will consist of the field and
laboratory tests necessary to support the quality control program. Observation activities will
typically include inspection, monitoring and site documentation to verify the uniformity of
conditions. Typical activities can include the following:
Soiils
Field tests most commonly performed include the following:
in-place density tests (also referred to as compaction tests). There are several methods to
test the density of soils in place_ The two most common are the nuclear method and the
sand cone method. In some areas of the country, the "mica" content of soils will give the
nuclear density gauge a false reading, so the sand cone or drive cylinder method are still
utilized. Each of these methods has an ASTM criteria that must be followed
® Moisture content tests
® Visual classification of soils
® Dynamic cone penetrometer test (to test bearing capacity in footing excavations)
Pile load test
® Field CSR (California Bearing Ratio)for pavement thickness recommendations
M Plate load test(to investigate the stress/strain characteristics of the soil)
In addition to the testing that takes place in the field, laboratory testing of soils is done to verify
that soil and rock materials being used during construction meet the requirements of the project
plans and specifications.
Some of the more common laboratory soil test includes the following:
* Proctor(moisture density relationship test); there are two types, standard and modified.
This test gives you the moisture/density curve and maximum dry density.
* Atterberg Limits(measures plasticity of soils)
IN Soil classification
12 Gradation and grain size analysis
Laboratory CBR test

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SCOPE OF SERVICES
If needed, Terracon can provide a wide variety of environmental expertise on the BCRUA
project. Below includes a summary of the services which may be required:
Geologic Assessments
A Geologic Assessment (GA) is required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
for all site development activities over the Recharge Zone of the Edwards Aquifer, A GA is also
required for any installation of above-ground or underground storage tank facilities within the
Recharge Zone or the Transition Zone of the Edwards Aquifer. The purpose of the GA is to
identify and characterize any significant geologic or manmade features, as defined in 30 TAC
§213, present within the study area. These features include closed depressions, sinkholes,
caves, faults, fractures, wells, borings, and excavations. Particular attention will be paid to any
sensitive features, which are defined as features where rapid infiltration from the surface to the
Edwards Aquifer can occur. Each feature observed will be numbered, described and measured,
plotted on a site map, and tabulated.
The GA report will include the completed Geologic Assessment Table; the completed Geologic
Assessment Form; a brief narrative description of any identified features and site specific
geology; and a site geologic map identifying the location of all identified features. The site
geologic map will be at the same scale as the base map provided by the client.
Threatened and Endangered Species Screenings
Threatened and endangered (T&E) species are those species, both plant and animal, that are
determined to be rare or extremely uncommon, and which may be close to extinction, The
Endangered Species Act was enacted to conserve these species and their critical habitats.
The principal federal agency responsible for protecting T&E species and implementing this act
is the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
The Texas legislature also enacted a state Endangered Species Act; subsequently the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) was authorized to generate a list of species threatened
with potential state-wide extinction. Unlike the f=ederal Act, state laws make no provision for
habitat protection or regulation of indirect"takes", but does out-law killing or maiming individuals
of listed species and regulates other aspects such as trade and transportation. Therefore, these

size of the habitat observed. If no T&E species or their suitable habitat(s)are observed, a brief
summary of our findings will be provided.
Waters of the US Oncluding Wetlands) - Assessments
The objective the Waters of the US (including Wetlands) Assessment is to gather data and
render an opinion regarding the presence or absence of potential Waters of the US as well as
their approximate location and size. Waters of the US are regulated by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The USAGE Is the final
authority in determining the presence of Waters of the US and establishing their boundaries.
The definition of a Waters of the US is: (1)waters used in interstate or foreign commerce; (2) all
interstate waters including wetlands; (3) all intrastate waters, the use of which could affect
interstate/foreign commerce, (4) all impoundments of waters otherwise defined as Waters of the
US, (5) tributaries of waters identified in 1 through 4; (6) the territorial seas; and (7) wetlands
adjacent to waters identified in 1 through 6. Wetlands are areas that are inundated or saturated
by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under
normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in
saturated soil conditions.
The Waters of the US Assessment will include a resource review and a field investigation.
Terracon will review available published resources including the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) county soil survey and hydric sails list, the US Geological Survey
topographic map, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory map,
historical and current aerial photography, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Flood Insurance Rate Map to identify mapped soil types, historical conditions, water bodies,
floodplain designations, and potential Waters of the US.
The field investigation will be conducted according to the routine determination methodology
prescribed by the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers' Wetland Delineation Manual (1987
Manual). If the field investigation reveals that potential Waters of the US are present on-site,
Terracon will document the characteristics of these features that lead to this conclusion and
make recommendations as to whether or not USAGE verification is warranted. If no Waters of
the US are identified, a brief summary of our findings will be provided. This level of investigation
is appropriate to evaluate approximate boundaries and development constraints. However, If
proposed development will be in close proximity to Waters of the US identified on-site or if direct
impacts are proposed, a Waters of the US delineation will likely be required.
Waters of the US - Delineations
If a delineation of identified Waters of the US is needed (based on the results of the Waters of
the US Assessment and/or the proposed development plan), Terracon will perform the
delineation and gather the required data in accordance with the 1987 Manual.
The identified Waters of the US will be defined by marking the perimeter of each area with
sequentially-numbered pin-flags and/or surveyors tape for subsequent surveying. If streams on-
site are too narrow to reasonably flag both banks, the centerline of the stream will be marked
and Terracon will note the jurisdictional width at appropriate intervals. The survey will allow
exact location and acreage calculation of Waters of the US, as well as facilitate evaluation of
potential impacts.

la A review of federal, state, and tribal databases are typically reviewed for Indications of
RECs. A database firm will be subcontracted to access governmental records used in this
portion of the assessment. Additional federal, state, and local databases may be reviewed If
provided by the database firm. In addition to the database review and if customary practice
for the site location, an attempt will be made to review reasonably ascertainable and useful
local lists or records such as Brownfield sites, landfill/solid waste disposal sites, registered
storage tanks, land records, emergency release reports, and contaminated public wells, A
reasonable attempt will also be made to interview at least one staff member of any one of
the following types of local government agencies_ fire department, health agency, planning
department, building department, or environmental department. As an alternative, a written
request for information may be submitted to the local agencies.
M Site reconnaissance will be conducted to identify RECs. The reconnaissance will consist of
visual observations of the site from the site boundaries and selected interior portions of the
site_ The site reconnaissance will include,where applicable, an interview with site personnel
who the client has identified as having knowledge of the uses and physical characteristics of
the site. Pertinent observations from the site reconnaissance will be documented including
site description, general site operations, aboveground chemical or waste storage, visible
underground chemical or waste storage, drainage, or collection systems, electrical
transformers and obvious releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products. The
adjoining property reconnaissance will consist of visual observations of the
adjoining/surrounding properties from the site boundaries and accessible public right-of-
ways.
F1 A final report will be submitted that presents the results of this assessment, based upon the
scope of services and limitations described herein. The final report will be signed by an
environmental professional responsible for the Phase I ESA, and the report will contain an
environmental professional statement as required by 40 CFR 312.21(d). Recommendations
will be developed as part of the Phase I ESA scope of services.

•n's Responsibilities
Exhibit B: The Consultant's responsibilities (Services to be performed by the
Consultant): In this Exhibit you would lay out your proposed scope of work for
traditional and industry standard construction materials testing and geotechnical
services.
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SCOPE OF SERVICES
Geotechnical services to be provided will generally be in the form of a geotechnical report for
facilities planned by the BCRUA. At the initiation of a project, Terracon would interact with the
design team and review the available information regarding the proposed facilities to come up
with a layout of borings that includes boring spacing and depth to allow for a proper evaluation
of the subsurface conditions for the project. After performance of appropriate field and
laboratory programs, Terracon will evaluate the data accumulated in these programs and
perform engineering analyses to address the geotechnical parameters desired by the BCRUA
and the design team. Typical field, laboratory and engineering analyses phase components are
summarized below.
Geotechnical Field Proctram
An initial site reconnaissance would include site observations of the surface to look for surface
features useful to the geotechnical report. Terracon would also contact One Call services to
locate utilities in public easements. Test boring locations would be measured and staked in
preparation for the drilling program. A drilling rig and crew would then come on site to drill test
borings at the staked locations to the prescribed depths. Sampling would typically consist of
Shelby tube samples or the Standard Penetration Test in soils and, when possible, Nx coring in
rock. The boreholes would also be checked for the presence of water. Samples would be
appropriately prepared in the field and transferred to Terracon's laboratory.
Laboratory Testing Program
The sample classifications will be reviewed and a laboratory testing program will be assigned
which will be specific to the project requirements and the subsurface conditions observed. The
testing program could include, but may not be limited to, moisture contents, unit dry weights,
Atterberg Limits, compressive strength tests, grain-size analyses, and absorption pressure swell
test.
Engineering Analyses and Report
The results of our field and laboratory programs will be evaluated by a registered professional
geotechnical engineer. Based on the results of our evaluation, an engineering report will be
prepared which will detail the results of the testing performed and will provide Logs of Boring
and a project layout. The report will also provide geotechnical engineering recommendations
which will address the following topics, if pertinent to the project requirements:
® Allowable bearing capacity for appropriate foundation units.
Anticipated total and differential settlement of foundation units.
Site preparation and earthwork recommendations.
in Below-grade wall recommendations and lateral earth pressures.
® Below-grade drainage and construction considerations.
® Seismic site classifications.
Irerracan
BCRUA Indefinite Quantity Contract Exhibits
Geotechnical and Constructions Materials
■ Pavement design guidelines.
■ Other geotechnical considerations deemed appropriate for the project.
Design Team Consultation and Review of Design Documents
As the design of the proposed facilities progresses, Terracon can be consulted as necessary by
the design team in regards to questions or additional design considerations that arise
subsequent to completion of our geotechnical report. Terracon can also review the design
plans and specifications for conformance to the recommendations provided in our geotechnical
report.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS ENGINEERING SCOPE OF SERVICES
When requested, Terracon will perform testing and observation services of construction
materials to verify compliance with project specifications. Testing will consist of the field and
laboratory tests necessary to support the quality control program. Observation activities will
typically include inspection, monitoring and site documentation to verify the uniformity of
conditions. Typical activities can include the following:
Soils
Field tests most commonly performed include the following:
® In-place density tests (also referred to as compaction tests). There are several methods to
test the density of soils in place. The two most common are the nuclear method and the
sand cone method. In some areas of the country, the "mica" content of soils will give the
nuclear density gauge a false reading, so the sand cone or drive cylinder method are still
utilized. Each of these methods has an ASTM criteria that must be followed
Moisture content tests
■ Visual classification of soils
Dynamic cone penetrometer test (to test bearing capacity in footing excavations)
® Pile load test
IN Field CBR (California Bearing Ratio)for pavement thickness recommendations
m Plate load test(to investigate the stress/strain characteristics of the soil)
In addition to the testing that takes place in the field, laboratory testing of soils is done to verify
that soil and rock materials being used during construction meet the requirements of the project
plans and specifications.
Some of the more common laboratory soil test includes the following:
■ Proctor(moisture density relationship test); there are two types, standard and modified.
This test gives you the moisture/density curve and maximum dry density.
® Atterberg Limits (measures plasticity of soils)
® Soil classification
■ Gradation and grain size analysis
IN Laboratory CBR test
■ Relative density test
® Moisture content test
® Triaxial tests to determine shear strength of cohesive or non-cohesive soils

Geotechnical and Constructions Materials
Some of the on-site observation, monitoring and documentation services related to soils
that Terracon would typically provide are as follows:
■ Excavation and grading
■ Subgrade proof rolling
■ Quantity and placement of structural fill material
■ Unsuitable soil or rock removal
■ Subgrade preparation and stabilization
■ Reinforced earth wall system placement
■ Dewatering activities
■ Drainage and runoff
■ Borrow source documentation
■ Lift thickness of new fill material being placed
■ Deep foundation installation
Concrete
Common field and lab tests that are done to ensure compliance with project
specifications typically include the following:
■ Slump test (this will give you an indication as to the water content of the concrete mix; you
measure the distance that the concrete "slumps" after you lift the cone that it was poured
into)
■ Air test (measures the amount of air in the concrete mix)
■ Temperature
■ Unit weight
■ Test specimen preparation (making cylinders)
■ Compressive strength
Field observation activities may include:
■ batch plant inspection
■ visual truck inspection
■ placement observations
■ reinforcing inspections.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SCOPE OF SERVICES
If needed, Terracon can provide a wide variety of environmental expertise on the BCRUA
project. Below includes a summary of the services which may be required:
Geologic Assessments
A Geologic Assessment (GA) is required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
for all site development activities over the Recharge Zone of the Edwards Aquifer. A GA is also
required for any installation of above-ground or underground storage tank facilities within the
Recharge Zone or the Transition Zone of the Edwards Aquifer. The purpose of the GA is to
identify and characterize any significant geologic or manmade features, as defined in 30 TAC
§213, present within the study area. These features include closed depressions, sinkholes,
caves, faults, fractures, wells, borings, and excavations. Particular attention will be paid to any
sensitive features, which are defined as features where rapid infiltration from the surface to the
Edwards Aquifer can occur. Each feature observed will be numbered, described and measured,
plotted on a site map, and tabulated,
The GA report will include the completed Geologic Assessment Table; the completed Geologic
Assessment Form; a brief narrative description of any identified features and site specific
geology; and a site geologic map identifying the location of all identified features. The site
geologic map will be at the same scale as the base map provided by the client.
Threatened and Endangered Species Screenings
Threatened and endangered (T&E) species are those species, both plant and animal, that are
determined to be rare or extremely uncommon, and which may be close to extinction. The
Endangered Species Act was enacted to conserve these species and their critical habitats.
The principal federal agency responsible for protecting T&E species and implementing this act
is the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
The Texas legislature also enacted a state Endangered Species Act; subsequently the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD)was authorized to generate a list of species threatened
with potential state-wide extinction. Unlike the Federal Act, state laws make no provision for
habitat protection or regulation of indirect"takes", but does out-law killing or maiming individuals
of listed species and regulates other aspects such as trade and transportation. Therefore, these
i
Ireffacan
BCRUA Indefinite Quantity Contract Exhibits
Geotechnical and Constructions Materials
species are typically only a development constraint if they are identified on-site and will be
directly impacted.
Literature and agency file searches will be conducted to identify the potential occurrence of any
federally listed T&E species within a one-mile radius of the site. The search will include
information from the USFWS's website and the Natural Diversity Database located at the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department Austin field office. Please note, that the absence of documented
sightings on-site or in the immediate vicinity does not ensure that T&E species are not present.
The lack of documented sightings may indicate that the area has not been surveyed or did not
previously contain habitat.
Terracon will provide a list of state and federally listed T&E species with the potential to occur
within the county, and make a recommendation as to whether further investigations are
warranted. This level of investigation does not provide a habitat suitability analysis for all
species with the potential to be present. This level of investigation is most suitable to evaluate
whether or not further investigation is warranted.
Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessments
Threatened and endangered (T&E) species are those species, both plant and animal, that are
determined to be rare or extremely uncommon, and which may be close to extinction, The
Endangered Species Act was enacted to conserve these species and their critical habitats.
The principal federal agency responsible for protecting T&E species and implementing this act
is the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Previously, informal consultation with the USFWS was often conducted (via a letter request) for
projects determined to be unlikely to impact T&E species or their critical habitats. Following
their review, the USFWS (if they agreed with Terracon's assessment) would then provide their
concurrence that a proposed project would not be likely to jeopardize the continued existence of
any federally listed T&E species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of their
critical habitats. However, the USFWS' Texas field offices have discontinued informal T&E
consultations for proposed projects. Their current policy makes it incumbent on the developer
to ascertain the potential for impact to a T&E species for each project and then notify the
USFWS for formal consultation if a proposed project "may affect" a listed species. The USFWS
notes that "a qualified biologist should use the USFWS website and other current information to
make this determination".
The Texas legislature also enacted a state Endangered Species Act; subsequently the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) was authorized to generate a list of species threatened
with potential state-wide extinction. Unlike the Federal Act, state laws make no provision for
habitat protection or regulation of indirect "takes", but does out-law killing or maiming individuals
of listed species and regulates other aspects such as trade and transportation, Therefore, these
species are typically only a development constraint if they are identified on-site and will be
directly impacted.
Literature and agency file searches will be conducted to identify the potential occurrence of any
state or federally listed T&E species within a one-mile radius of the site. The search will include
information from the USFWS's website (performed by Terracon) and the Natural Diversity
Database (performed by TPWD staff). A field investigation will then be performed to assess
whether the site contains suitable habitat for any of the listed T&E species. Terracon will
identify the T&E species or their suitable habitat(s) observed on-site and in the immediate
vicinity (if applicable) and map the approximate location of the sighting and/or the location and

size of the habitat observed. If no T&E species or their suitable habitat(s) are observed, a brief
summary of our findings will be provided.
Waters of the US (Including Wetlands) -Assessments
The objective the Waters of the US (including Wetlands) Assessment is to gather data and
render an opinion regarding the presence or absence of potential Waters of the US as well as
their approximate location and size. Waters of the US are regulated by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The USACE is the final
authority in determining the presence of Waters of the US and establishing their boundaries.
The definition of a Waters of the US is: (1)waters used in interstate or foreign commerce; (2) all
interstate waters including wetlands; (3) all intrastate waters, the use of which could affect
interstate/foreign commerce; (4) all impoundments of waters otherwise defined as Waters of the
US, (5) tributaries of waters identified in 1 through 4; (6) the territorial seas; and (7) wetlands
adjacent to waters identified in 1 through 6. Wetlands are areas that are inundated or saturated
by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under
normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in
saturated soil conditions.
The Waters of the US Assessment will include a resource review and a field investigation.
Terracon will review available published resources including the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) county soil survey and hydric soils list, the US Geological Survey
topographic map, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory map,
historical and current aerial photography, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Flood Insurance Rate Map to identify mapped soil types, historical conditions, water bodies,
floodplain designations, and potential Waters of the US.
The field investigation will be conducted according to the routine determination methodology
prescribed by the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers' Wetland Delineation Manual (1987
Manual). If the field investigation reveals that potential Waters of the US are present on-site,
Terracon will document the characteristics of these features that lead to this conclusion and
make recommendations as to whether or not USACE verification is warranted. If no Waters of
the US are identified, a brief summary of our findings will be provided. This level of investigation
is appropriate to evaluate approximate boundaries and development constraints. However, if
proposed development will be in close proximity to Waters of the US identified on-site or if direct
impacts are proposed, a Waters of the US delineation will likely be required.
Waters of the US - Delineations
If a delineation of identified Waters of the US is needed (based on the results of the Waters of
the US Assessment and/or the proposed development plan), Terracon will perform the
delineation and gather the required data in accordance with the 1987 Manual.
The identified Waters of the US will be defined by marking the perimeter of each area with
sequentially-numbered pin-flags and/or surveyors tape for subsequent surveying. If streams on-
site are too narrow to reasonably flag both banks, the centerline of the stream will be marked
and Terracon will note the jurisdictional width at appropriate intervals. The survey will allow
exact location and acreage calculation of Waters of the US, as well as facilitate evaluation of
potential impacts.
Irerracan
BCRUA Indefinite Quantity Contract Exhlblis
Geotechnical and Constructions Materials
Please note that the USACE is the final authority in making the jurisdictional determination and
verifying the delineation. Terracon will accompany the USACE representative in the field during
the USACE verification (if applicable).
Waters of the US - Regulatory Constraints Analysis
Upon completion of the Waters of the US Assessment, Terracon will review the proposed
development plans to ensure that, as proposed, no impacts to Waters of the US will occur. It is
possible that if minor impacts to Waters of the US are proposed, they may be authorized by one
of several USACE general permits that are available for residential development, road
crossings, and or utility line installation. Pre-construction authorization from the USACE may
not be required, provided all permit specific and General Permit Conditions are met. Terracon
will coordinate with the project engineer to provide a development option that minimizes
regulatory exposure. If regulatory exposure cannot practicably be avoided, Terracon will
discuss potential mitigation options to off-set impacts to identified Waters of the US (if
applicable). Additionally, if USACE preconstruction authorization is required (by the client or
due to the scale of proposed impacts), Terracon will provide an additional consulting services to
the USACE.
Void Mitigation Plans
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations require mitigation of any voids
identified during any subsurface excavation activity (including foundation excavation, water
quality pond, excavation, utility line installation, etc.) over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.
Simply defined, voids are openings in the rock which are greater that one square foot in area
that become exposed during construction activity and may be further defined based on size,
flow of water and presence of biota. If a void is discovered during trenching or excavation,
Terracon should be notified and a qualified geologist will mobilize to the site. The void will be
recorded and described on the Geologist Void Description and Documentation Log Sheet. If
voids are encountered, construction work within 25 feet of the void should stop until a Mitigation
Plan can be prepared and implemented. Mitigation Plans are void-specific but may include filling
of the void with rock material of specified size, use of filter fabrics, use of polypropylene bags of
pea gravel, use of low slump concrete or other measures. For voids associated with utility
pipelines, the mitigation plans are required to be prepared and sealed by a licensed P.E.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Terracon can prepare Phase I Environmental Site Assessment(s) (ESAs) consistent with the
procedures included in ASTM E 1527-05, Standard Practice for Environmental Site
Assessments: Phase I Environmental Assessment Process. The purpose of an ESA is to
assist the client in developing information to identify recognized environmental conditions
(RECs) in connection with the site. Briefly summarized, an ESA is composed of several
sections:
■ The physical setting for the site will be described based on a review of the applicable USGS
topographic quadrangle map, USDA soil survey, and selected geologic reference
information.
® A review of selected historical sources, where reasonably ascertainable and readily
available, will be conducted in an attempt to document obvious past land use of the site and
adjoining properties back to 1940 or when the site was initially developed, whichever is
earlier. References may include historical topographic maps, aerial photographs, city
directories, Sanborn insurance maps and prior environmental reports, permits and
registrations; or geotechnical reports, if provided by the client
Irerracan
BCRUA Indefinite Quantity Contract Exhibits
Geotechnical and Constructions Materiais
® A review of federal, state, and tribal databases are typically reviewed for indications of
RECs. A database firm will be subcontracted to access governmental records used in this
portion of the assessment. Additional federal, state, and local databases may be reviewed if
provided by the database firm. In addition to the database review and if customary practice
for the site location, an attempt will be made to review reasonably ascertainable and useful
local lists or records such as Brownfield sites, landfill/solid waste disposal sites, registered
storage tanks, land records, emergency release reports, and contaminated public wells. A
reasonable attempt will also be made to interview at least one staff member of any one of
the following types of local government agencies_ fire department, health agency, planning
department, building department, or environmental department. As an alternative, a written
request for information may be submitted to the local agencies.
® Site reconnaissance will be conducted to identify RECs. The reconnaissance will consist of
visual observations of the site from the site boundaries and selected interior portions of the
site. The site reconnaissance will include, where applicable, an interview with site personnel
who the client has identified as having knowledge of the uses and physical characteristics of
the site. Pertinent observations from the site reconnaissance will be documented including
site description, general site operations, aboveground chemical or waste storage, visible
underground chemical or waste storage, drainage, or collection systems, electrical
transformers and obvious releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products. The
adjoining property reconnaissance will consist of visual observations of the
adjoining/surrounding properties from the site boundaries and accessible public right-of-
ways.
® A final report will be submitted that presents the results of this assessment, based upon the
scope of services and limitations described herein. The final report will be signed by an
environmental professional responsible for the Phase I ESA, and the report will contain an
environmental professional statement as required by 40 CFR 312.21(d). Recommendations
will be developed as part of the Phase I ESA scope of services.
