Ms. Samantha Orduno 3 August 13 , 1993 For the other borings on the course, we will describe the soil conditions that we encounter and discuss the use of these soils for embankment fill. Our report will conclude with a discussion of construction considerations related to foundations and earthwork for the project. B. PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT The primary purpose of a Phase I ESA is to determine the possibilities of existing environmental concerns in an existing building or in the soil and/or groundwater system, based on previous and current uses of the subject site and nearby properties. However, a Phase I ESA is not to be considered as a guarantee or warranty that there never has been or never will be an environmental problem on the site. In our report, we will present our observations and, following currently accepted industry standards, present our opinions regarding the environmental conditions of the site. Our Phase I ESA will consist of the following elements: 1. We will request and review a property file evaluation from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for information indicating a release or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants at or near the subject property. The evaluation includes a review of the current list of MPCA registered underground storage tank (UST) sites, the MPCA Reported UST Leak Sites list and a list of MPCA Reported Spill and Leaks within a one mile radius of the site. 2 . We will request and review a FINDS list of the ---------------------licensedhazardoushazardous-waste generators in the nearby zip code area from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region V office in Chicago, Illinois. 3 . We will observe the site and site buildings, if safely accessible, for the storage of known hazardous materials, the presence of suspected asbestos-containing materials (ACM) , polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) , or other materials that may pose a threat to the environment. Please provide us with access into the buildings you wish to have observed. An EPA Accredited Asbestos Inspector would observe the building for suspected ACM. 4. We will contact the City of Mounds View for an interview to discuss the current activities and previous uses of the site.
