2.2 DETAILED SCOPEOF-SERVICES (Continued) Environmental Database Review - Reasonably ascertainable environmental databases were reviewed to determine whether the subject property or any neighboring properties were suspected of having or known to have environmental concerns likely to adversely impact the subject property. The databases reviewed and the radii chosen are based on the ASTM standard and Client's scope of work. Site Reconnaissance -A site reconnaissance, consisting of a visual inspection of the subject property and adjacent properties as observable from the subject property, was conducted to identify RECs associated with the subject property, to the extent the inspection was not obstructed by bodies of water, adjacent buildings or other obstacles. Potential concerns include, but are not limited to, areas of staining, stressed vegetation, pits, ponds, lagoons, drains, sumps, dry wells, and septic systems. It is important to note the scope of this investigation is limited to an inspection using the physical sense (eyes, ears, nose) to identify areas of potential concern to the real property and a review of readily accessible governmental databases. The inspection does not include a regulatory compliance audit of the facility. There are detailed regulations concerningthe proper use, storage and disposal of hazardous and regulated material. These regulations include, but are not limited to, permitting, paper keeping and manifesting requirements, as well as community and employee right -to -know laws. It is typically the responsibility of the tenant(s) to maintain their space(s) in compliance with such regulations.

Preliminary Lead -Based Paint ILBP) Evaluation - LBP inspection is an additional service not provided in a basic Phase I & II (see Lead Based Paint 6.2.4)The potential for the presence of LBP at the property and the potential to pose a significant concern was evaluated based on the age of the improvements, dates of renovation, and the current and proposed uses of the property. Paint applied prior to 1978 is assumed to be LBP. Lead may also be found in materials other than painted surfaces, such as bathtub and ceramic the glazing, and vinyl mini -blinds. Such items are not included in this preliminary LBP evaluation. This evaluation was not designed or intended to comply with the survey requirements as outlined in the HUD regulations, or other local, state or federal regulations, but was conducted per accepted industry practices to satisfy the scope of work of the client, rating agencies, and/or lender. Samples collected, B any, will be analyzed using the Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry method. Any test results obtained are forthe personal use of the Client only.
