2.3 LIMITATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS OF ASSESSMENT (CONTINUED) Reasonable efforts were made within the scope of this assessment to identify the presence of underground and aboveground storage tanks and ancillary equipment on the Site. Limitations to this Report exist with regard to storage tanks, in as much as information was gained solely by review of unobstructed areas, database information, and interviews. Such methods (which are considered industry standard) do not preclude the actual presence of subsurface equipment (including underground storage tanks) or regulated materials which are hidden from view due to historical activity such as Site pavin& re -grading, construction, debris pile storage, or incorrect recollection of Site sources. Similarly, there is a possibility that additional UST facilities not listed in Regulatory files may exist at the Site or on abutting / adjacent properties to the Site, due to owner/operator registration negligence or filing errors. Conclusions regarding the potential environmental impact of facilities off the Site are based upon available information from environmental databases and assumed groundwater flow direction (based upon topographic slope). True groundwater conditions, including direction of flow, can only be determined through the installation of monitoring wells on the site. Geo-Tech recognizes that there are various options for dealing with any potential concerns identified. Any options provided are not necessarily the only acceptable alternatives for dealing with a particular concern. Geo-Tech provides these options as a general guidance for further action. The variability in state and local regulations, and the intended future usage of the subject property, may make other actions equally acceptable or even preferable to those provided in this report. It should also be noted that any sites that were determined not to be a significant REC as well as a REC site doesn't guarantee that no impact has occurred that has affected the subject property. This assessment should also not preclude further evaluation if a more definitive risk analyses is required. No Phase I Environmental Site Assessment can 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 RECS in connection with a property, and this practice recognizes reasonable limits of time and cost. 2.4 SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS In performing the Phase I & II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), guidelines from the ASTM Standards on Environmental Site Assessments for Commercial Real State E 1527-0S were generally followed except where Garson Silvers, American Industries Life Insurance - Real Property Mortgage's requirements for conducting an ESA superseded or exempted the ASTM guidelines.
