Environmental Disclosure In accordance with the ASTM protocol, it is the obligation of the User (i.e., the Client) to report to the environmental professional (i.e., ECS) environmental liens or activity and use limitations encumbering the property or specialized knowledge or experience of the user that would provide information about previous ownership or uses of the property that may be material to identifying recognized environmental conditions. Based on this, ECS requests previous environmental information related to the property. Attached is an Environmental Questionnaire for User detailing specific information required by the ASTM E1527-05 standard.This questionnaire must be completed by the User and returned to ECS. The purpose of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is to estimate the potential for the property under investigation to contain substantial levels of contamination. Contaminants can occur in the surface water, groundwater, soil and/or within structures at a given site. Contamination may result from present or past activities either on the property under investigation or from off-site sources. A nationally standardized practice for Phase I ESAs was adopted and published by the American Society for Testing and Materials in May of 1993 and updated in 2005. ECS performs the Phase I ESA in accordance with ASTM Designation E1527-05, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments; Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. Based on our past experience in performing ESAs and the ASTM Standard, ECS utilizes a phased approach to these projects, which results in a cost-effective and time-eff icient means in meeting the needs of our clients. 7
