83 <br /> hriang/e Regional Project DeveIlopmervt Scope of Work <br /> documents, maps, aerial photographs, and historical records. Federal, State and local records will be <br /> reviewed, evaluated and compiled in a records search report documenting the environmental database <br /> search. These properties would include specific portions of properties along the corridor to be acquired <br /> comprising the areas affected by construction. As part of the analysis of potential or identified site <br /> contamination, additional site evaluations may be required in the baseline analysis. <br /> It is anticipated that several properties along the corridor may require an initial full Phase I assessment <br /> following ASTM standards. This would include those properties where the baseline analysis has <br /> indicated a significant concern, one that would impact corridor route selection. Several properties could <br /> potentially become part of an acquisition phase and require full Phase I assessment following ASTM <br /> standards. The additional analysis will include title searches, site reconnaissance and interviews with <br /> persons knowledgeable of the property in question, its history and possible environmental <br /> contamination. The number of properties requiring individual Phase I assessments will be determined <br /> based on results from the initial Corridor Assessment and final route alignment. <br /> Site reconnaissance visits and interviews would be conducted to validate information obtained through <br /> record searches. The site reconnaissance will involve a visual and physical observation of the exterior of <br /> the property and the interior of structures on the property. Persons determined to have knowledge of <br /> the area will be interviewed (e.g.,fire chief, local property owner or operator, long-time resident, zoning <br /> official). If deemed appropriate, owners or users of adjacent facilities will also be interviewed for the <br /> same purpose. <br /> For properties requiring a full Phase I assessment, a 50-year chain of title search will be conducted for <br /> an additional fee to help determine possible past uses of the Property. The search will include <br /> information regarding liens, easements, or special deeds and will focus on parcel ownership. <br /> The URS team will also incorporate any identification of contamination that can be gleaned from the <br /> structural soil boring program, particularly along the freight rail corridor. <br /> Deliverables: <br /> • Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report (Draft and Final). <br /> • DEIS Chapter on Contamination (Draft and Final). <br /> 4. ..1 E:'energy <br /> The subtask will quantify energy expenditures for the construction of the proposed Build Alternatives <br /> and operation of the regional transportation system. The measurement of potential environmental <br /> benefits of the proposed project on regional energy consumption will be prepared in accordance with <br /> MAP— 21. The measurement of energy requirements will be based on the regional annual vehicle miles <br /> traveled (VMT), by vehicle type, within the study area for the horizon year, multiplied by the emission <br /> rates of each vehicle type. Construction energy requirements will also be calculated. <br /> Deliverable: <br /> DEIS Chapter on Energy(Draft and Final). <br /> [Durlhanrn-Ourain e <br /> g: III,,,°�ghl' Fail I"uransit Project June 2.01. ­18 IDAF.,I„ <br />
