The environmental assessment included several parts. One was the physical site <br />inspection; one was a review of available computer databases for federal, state, and local <br />environmental regulations. <br />In a phase I environmental assessment, you are looking to identify what are called <br />recognized environmental conditions. These are defined as the presence of a hazardous <br />substance such as petroleum, when conditions indicate an existing release, past release, or the <br />material threat of release of these materials. In performing the environmental investigation, we <br />found none of these things in the property in question. We did find one recognized <br />environmental condition on an adjacent property, which has an existing gasoline station at the <br />intersection of Buckhorn Road and I-85. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br />`'Phase I EA per ASTM Standard E 1527-05 Performed by GEL Engineering of NC, Inc. <br />`' 1 Off-Site Recognized Environmental Condition (REC} -Buckhorn Amoco <br />Mr. Hutchins recalled Tracy Parrott, who continued with the presentation on the comprehensive <br />use plan and land use plan. <br />Tracy Parrott: I would like to add to the environmental assessment aspect of this, that in <br />addition to the phase I assessment that was done; Orange County staff did assist with some <br />determinations on the site of present streams and wetlands. There were two buffered streams <br />that fall within the Neuse River Basin identified on Site I parallel to I-85140, and the other stream <br />comes from the corner of the property and extends back to the middle of the property. There <br />was one wetland that was somewhere in this vicinity just off of the existing Jockey lot. <br />COMPREHENSIVE USE PLAN <br />144 Million SF of Building Footprint <br />LAND USE FOR DISTRICT I <br />LAND USE APPROX.
