Controlled Recognized Environmental Conditions <br />A controlled recognized environmental condition is defined by ASTM Practice E1527-13 as "a recognized <br />environmental condition resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products <br />that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority, with hazardous <br />substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required <br />controls." <br />This assessment identified no controlled recognized environmental conditions in connection with the <br />Site. <br />H.3. Historical Recognized Environmental Conditions <br />A historical recognized environmental condition is defined by ASTM Practice E1527-13 as "a past release <br />of any hazardous substances or petroleum products that has occurred in connection with the Site and <br />has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or meeting unrestricted use <br />criteria established by a regulatory authority, without subjecting the Site to any required controls." <br />This assessment identified no historical recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Site. <br />H.4. De Minimis Conditions <br />A de minimis condition is defined by ASTM Practice E1527-13 as "a condition that generally does not <br />present a threat to human health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an <br />enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies." <br />The following findings are considered de minimis conditions: <br />■ The Site was used for farmstead purposes from at least 1938 through 1957. It is our opinion <br />that the use of the Site for farmstead purposes is considered a de minimis condition for the <br />Site. <br />■ The government database records review identified several regulated facilities in the vicinity <br />of the Site. Based on mitigating factors that affect the apparent significance of the identified <br />facilities on the Site, such as regulatory status, distance from the Site, location of the facility <br />in relation to the groundwater flow direction, and/or the database(s) the identified regulated <br />facilities are listed on, it is our opinion that the identified regulated facilities are considered <br />de minimis conditions. <br />B RAU N <br />INTERTEC <br />
