Phase I Initial Site Assessment Sample Clauses

Phase I Initial Site Assessment. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will prepare a Phase I Initial Site Assessment (ISA) for the proposed project. The ISA will be prepared in accordance with the ASTM International (ASTM) Standard Practice E 1527-13 and the Caltrans SER. The objectives of the ISA are to: (1) evaluate the potential for hazardous materials on the site based upon readily discernible and/or documented present and historic on-site uses and uses immediately adjacent to the site, and (2) generally characterize the expected nature of hazardous substances that may be present as a result of such uses, within the limits imposed by the scope of the ISA. Substances that may be considered hazardous include, but are not limited to petroleum products, pesticides, organic compounds, heavy metals, or other compounds injurious to human health and the environment. The ISA is not intended to provide specific qualitative or quantitative information as to the actual presence of hazardous materials at the site, but is to merely identify the potential presence based on available information and provide preliminary conclusions relative to site conditions. This scope specifically excludes laboratory testing and field sampling (although these can be reviewed by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx if provided by the Client). Also, environmental lien searches and chain of title documents are not included as part of this scope and fee, but may be reviewed on a time and materials basis, if requested by the Client. The Phase I ISA will include the following components. • Site Visit. Perform a site visit, which will consist of a visual examination of the project site for visual evidence of potential environmental concerns, including existing or potential soil and groundwater contamination as evidenced by soil or pavement staining or discoloration; stressed vegetation; indications of waste dumping or burial; pits; ponds; or lagoons; containers of hazardous substances or petroleum products; electrical and hydraulic equipment that may contain PCBs, such as electrical transformers and hydraulic lifts; and underground and aboveground storage tanks. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will examine the physical characteristics of the property (i.e., apparent runoff directions, location of paved areas, etc.). It should be noted that the site visit specifically excludes any subsurface investigation including, but not limited to, sampling and/or laboratory analysis. A preliminary visual examination of immediately adjacent property conditions and their general nature will be condu...

Phase I Initial Site Assessment. Design Professional will prepare a Phase I ISA in support of the NEPA process and will be performed in general conformance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E1527 - 13 (Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessment: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process) and ASTM E2600-10 (Standard Guide for Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions). The scope of the study will include the following tasks: • Information Review Design Professional will review publicly available records/files maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Services (DEHS) which are available on the State of California GeoTracker website for information pertaining to unauthorized releases along the project alignment and its immediate vicinity. In addition, the consultant will retain the services of Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR), an independent database search company, to perform a search of pertinent Federal, State and local regulatory agency database records. The EDR report also includes historical land use information from readily available public records such as old business directories, Xxxxxxx Fire Insurance maps, and historical aerial photographs and topographical maps. The database search will be extended to a distance of one ( 1.0) mile from the project alignment. • Site Reconnaissance Design Professional will perform a visual reconnaissance of the site to observe current conditions and activities along the project alignment and adjoining properties. Visual indicators of the use or storage of hazardous materials/wastes and potential contamination, such as soil stains, surface spills, stressed vegetation, or other evidence of potential hazardous materials-related conditions will be evaluated and recorded. It must be noted that this task does not include the collection of soil and/or groundwater samples for analytical (chemical) testing. • Data Analysis and Reporting The information obtained from our data review and site reconnaissance will be compiled and evaluated, and presented in a written report. The report will address the presence of hazardous waste contamination sources along or in the immediate vicinity that could pose a potential hazard to the project alignment. The report will include all technical data gathered during the course of our study and our preliminary findings and recommendations for further investigatio...

Phase I Initial Site Assessment. Xxxx Environmental will prepare a Phase I ISA consistent with ASTM Standard E1527-13, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments and Caltrans SER Environmental Guidance Handbook, Volume 1, Chapter 10 Hazardous Materials, Hazardous Waste, and Contamination, Initial Site Assessment. The purpose of the ISA is to evaluate the potential for soil or groundwater contamination from current or past use, storage, and/or handling of hazardous materials on or near the project area. To evaluate the potential for hazardous materials, Xxxx Environmental will research the past land use near the project area through aerial photographs, oil and gas well maps, interviews, and other records. Xxxx Environmental will prepare a report summarizing the results of the ISA, which will present the findings regarding past land use on and around the project area, an opinion regarding the potential for soil or groundwater contamination potentially affecting the project area, the potential for lead-based paint and asbestos, and recommendations for additional assessment, if deemed necessary. The collection and analysis of any media (e.g., soil, groundwater) is not part of this scope. Based on the findings of the ISA, recommendations for additional assessment including a PSI will be provided, if warranted.

  • Phase II A small portion of the work for the Phase II modifications to the Plattsburgh Substation will be performed by Transmission Owner, and the remainder will be performed by Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx. A detailed definition of the specific scope for Transmission Owner and Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx including interface points shall be defined during the design phase and, as such documents become available, copies will be delivered to the NYISO, Transmission Owner, Noble Altona Windpark, LLC and Marble River, LLC. The full scope includes the installation of wave traps, CCVT’s and modifications and/or additions to relaying on the MWP-1 and MWP- 2 lines. These lines will be reconfigured at the completion of Phase II to connect to Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx Substations on MWP-1 and the Xxxx Substation on MWP-2. Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx will design the upgrades and purchase the materials based on the outline specification that was prepared and issued by Transmission Owner. The work to be performed by Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx will include both the materials for the exterior and interior installations and items for Transmission Owner installation inside the control building in existing relay panels and communication racks. In addition, Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx will be responsible for the exterior and interior construction work and will provide construction management services in coordination with Transmission Owner. The civil design for the foundations and the electrical design for the cable runs to the control room will be designed by, as approved by Transmission Owner, and installed under the supervision and control of Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx. The equipment will be selected and procured in accordance with the specifications developed during the detailed engineering phase, copies of which shall be furnished to the NYISO, Transmission Owner, Noble Altona Windpark, LLC and Marble River, LLC. The construction of the foundations, structures, wave traps, CCTV and cable runs into the control building to the termination cabinets will be completed by Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx.
