5.0 RECORDS REVIEW 5.1 STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES, FEDERAL AND STATES The purpose of the environmental database review is to obtain and review records that will help identify activities at the subject property or surrounding properties, which are likely to environmentally impact the subject property. The database information was obtained through ESA DATA, Inc. A detailed listing and description of the databases reviewed, and a listing of all sites identified, are provided in the Appendix. It should be noted that the provided distances between the subject property and the listed regulatory sites may not be exact. This is due to the fact that the listed distances do not take into account the actual property size and some error may have occurred in the exact placement of the regulated sites. 5.1.1 CERCLA SITES (INCLUSIVE OF NPL AND NFRAP) The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) was enacted to deal with the cleanup of past improper hazardous waste disposal. Under Superfund, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) coordinates the overall cleanup process by identifying hazardous materials and remediating contaminated sites and establishing regulations for the reporting of chemical spills. In addition, EPA seeks financing for cleanup costs from identifiable responsible parties. From its inventory of over 33,000 hazardous waste sites, EPA has designated approximately 1200 sites, those most in need of immediate cleanup attention, for inclusion on the National Priority List (NPL), also known as Superfund. Under the Hazardous Ranking System (HRS), known sites are ranked according to their cumulative score on a point system, which is designed, to evaluate and address the relative risks posed by a site to both human health and the environment. CERCLA sites identified in CERCLIS as NFRAP (No Further Remedial Action Planned) are sites that have been removed from CERCLS. They have been removed because, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found, contamination was removed quickly without need for the site to be placed on the NPL, or contamination was not serious enough to require Federal Superfund action. A review of the CERC database revealed one site in the vicinity of the subject property. Neither the subject property nor adjacent properties were identified as CERC sites.
