City of Ramsey Project B1610732 January 10, 2017 Page 26 tank, leak site, hazardous waste generator, and Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup Program databases. Petroleum impacted soils and groundwater have been documented on the Site from the past automobile sales and services uses. The existing Site building was constructed in 2002-03 as a gasoline station/convenience store with an attached carwash. The surrounding area was historically developed as cultivated cropland with scattered farmsteads and has been progressively redeveloped for commercial uses. E.2. Current Site and Adjoining Property Land Use At the time of this assessment, the Site consisted of an approximate 1.64-acre parcel developed with a vacant gasoline station/convenience store with an attached carwash. The building has been vacant for approximately the past three years. Four empty underground storage tanks are located on the Site. The surrounding area is developed for commercial uses. F. Limiting Conditions and Data Gaps The findings and conclusions presented in this report are based on procedures described in ASTM Practice E1527-13, inquiries with public officials, available literature cited in this report, conditions noted at the time of our Phase I ESA, and our interpretation of the information obtained as part of this Phase I ESA. Our findings and conclusions are limited to the specific project and properties described in this report and by the accuracy and completeness of information provided by others. An environmental site assessment cannot wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property. Performance of this practice is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property within reasonable limits of time and cost. In performing its services, Braun Intertec used that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar circumstances by reputable members of its profession currently practicing in the same locality. No warranty, express or implied, is made. No data gaps were identified during the Phase I ESA process, with the exception of the following: ■ Responses to our inquiries to local government offices and/or officials were not received prior to issuance of the assessment. The identified data gaps did not affect the environmental professional's ability to render opinions regarding conditions indicative of a release or threatened release. BRAUN INTERTEC
