The scope of work appears to be broader. For example these <br /> items do not appear to be addressed or are specifically excluded in the <br /> Sirrine proposal , but are included in the Alliance proposal : <br /> a. Evaluate the possibility of wetlands or endangered species <br /> on the site. <br /> b. They will consult an inventory of stationary sources of <br /> air pollution emissions to determine if there are significant emittors <br /> within one mile of the property. This is relevant information due to <br /> the close proximity of Horace Williams Airport . <br />
