Phase 1 Site Assessment - Orlando

 

Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment

Orlando, Florida


GSE conducted a Phase I ESA in accordance with ASTM E1527 standard practices for environmental site assessments. This was done to to help determine if the site is impacted by recognized environmental conditions (REC).  "Recognized environmental conditions" means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.  The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimis conditions that generally do not present a threat to human health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies. The term does not include historical RECs, remediated to regulatory satisfaction, without on-going controls or use limitations. These are no longer considered RECS. 

The assessment included:

  • Review of the environmental setting and site history.

  • User Provided Information.

  • Review of environmental agency databases. 

  • Site reconnaissance.

  • Interviews with local businesses and government officials. 

No current RECs or historical RECs (HRECs) were noted for the target property (TP). The adjoining property to the west exhibited a HREC, satisfied with “No Further Action” notices by regulatory agencies. The remaining adjoining properties do not present current HRECs or RECs.
