Recognized Environmental Conditions <br />A recognized environmental condition is defined by ASTM Practice E1527-13 as: "the presence or likely <br />presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: 1) due to any <br />release to the environment, 2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment, or 3) under <br />conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment. De minimis conditions are <br />not recognized environmental conditions." <br />This assessment identified no recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Site, with the <br />exception of the following: <br />■ The Site was formerly occupied by automobile dealerships. The automobile dealerships were <br />identified on the storage tank, leak site, hazardous waste generator, and Voluntary <br />Investigation and Cleanup Program databases. Soil and groundwater impacts on the Site and <br />the adjacent parcel to the west were documented in association with these database listings. <br />This represents a recognized environmental condition. <br />■ The existing Site building was constructed in 2002-03 as a gasoline station/convenience store <br />with an attached carwash. Four empty underground storage tanks are located on the Site. <br />There is a potential for past unreported releases associated with the use of the tanks. This <br />represents a recognized environmental condition. <br />B RAU N <br />INTERTEC <br />
