New Conditions. a. A “New Condition” exists when one (1) or more of the following events occur and, as the result of such event, Consultant, Client or the PAUSTIF has demonstrated that the cost and/or period of time necessary to accomplish the Scope of Work is materially increased, or that it is no longer practicable to implement all or part of the Scope of Work: i. The discovery of New Contamination (defined as any presence or release, or any portion of a presence or a release, of any regulated substance including, without limitation, a regulated substance that materially impacts soil, sediment, surface water, soil vapor, indoor air quality and/or groundwater quality that did not exist or was not identified in previous corrective action(s)). New Contamination includes, but is not limited to: 1) in the case of a Site with no separate phase liquid (SPL) in subsurface media in the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement, the detection of SPL that occurs after the date of this Agreement in one (1) or more monitoring points for two (2) or more consecutive quarters with a thickness of 0.01 feet or greater as measured by an interface probe; 2) regulated substances discovered after the date of this Agreement that are present in Site media in separate, dissolved, sorbed or volatile form that could not reasonably be anticipated at a petroleum release site including, but not limited to, dry cleaning chemicals, fertilizers, and combustion ash, and that cause a material impediment in performing the Scope of Work; 3) increases in concentrations in regulated substance(s) dissolved in surface water or groundwater greater than one hundred (100) times the maximum concentration of such regulated substance(s) measured during the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement, and present at more than one hundred (100) times the maximum concentration for two (2) or more consecutive quarters, provided that this increase cannot be attributed to the Remediation including, but not limited to, rebound caused by the deactivation of any and all remediation systems; or 4) migration of off-site contamination on to the Site that materially affects the Consultant’s ability to perform the Scope of Work. ii. Construction, remodeling or other reconfiguration of the Site to the extent that it materially impedes the performance of the Scope of Work; iii. A release reported to the PADEP and/or the PAUSTIF from an Underground Storage Tank (UST) system(s) or surface spill that occurs after the date of this Agreement and that materially impacts soil, sediment, surface water, soil vapor, indoor air quality, and/or groundwater quality; iv. Data or information discovered, relative to a UST system(s) present at the Site but not known to exist by Consultant and/or Client, or known to the Client but not revealed to the Consultant, on or before the date of this Agreement that materially impacts soil, sediment, surface water, soil vapor, indoor air quality and/or groundwater quality; v.

A “New Condition” exists when one (1) or more of the following events occur and, as the result of such event, Consultant, Client or the PAUSTIF has demonstrated that the cost and/or period of time necessary to accomplish the Scope of Work is materially increased, or that it is no longer practicable to implement all or part of the Scope of Work:
i. The discovery of New Contamination (defined as any presence or release, or any portion of a presence or a release, of any regulated substance including, without limitation, a regulated substance that materially impacts soil, sediment, surface water, soil vapor, indoor air quality and/or groundwater quality that did not exist or was not identified in previous corrective action(s)). New Contamination includes, but is not limited to:
1) in the case of a Site with no separate phase liquid (SPL) in subsurface media in the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement, the detection of SPL that occurs after the date of this Agreement in one (1) or more monitoring points for two (2) or more consecutive quarters with a thickness of 0.01 feet or greater as measured by an interface probe;
2) regulated substances discovered after the date of this Agreement that are present in Site media in separate, dissolved, sorbed or volatile form that could not reasonably be anticipated at a petroleum release site including, but not limited to, dry cleaning chemicals, fertilizers, and combustion ash, and that cause a material impediment in performing the Scope of Work;
3) increases in concentrations in regulated substance(s) dissolved in surface water or groundwater greater than one hundred (100) times the maximum concentration of such regulated substance(s) measured during the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement, and present at more than one hundred (100) times the maximum concentration for two (2) or more consecutive quarters, provided that this increase cannot be attributed to the Remediation including, but not limited to, rebound caused by the deactivation of any and all remediation systems; or
4) migration of off-site contamination on to the Site that materially affects the Consultant’s ability to perform the Scope of Work.
ii. Construction, remodeling or other reconfiguration of the Site to the extent that it materially impedes the performance of the Scope of Work;
iii. A release reported to the PADEP and/or the PAUSTIF from an Underground Storage Tank (UST) system(s) or surface spill that occurs after the date of this Agreement and that materially impacts soil, sediment, surface water, soil vapor, indoor air quality, and/or groundwater quality;
iv. Data A release, past or information discoveredpresent, relative to from a UST system(s) present at the Site but not known to exist by Consultant and/or Client, or known to the Client but not revealed to the Consultant, on or before the date of this Agreement that materially impacts soil, sediment, surface water, soil vapor, indoor air quality and/or groundwater quality;
v. Promulgation of new, or change in interpretation of existing, federal, state, or local law, regulation, ordinance, guidance or written policy to the extent that it materially impedes the performance of the Scope of Work. This shall include material changes to laws and regulation that establish, implement and administer the PAUSTIF;
vi. Limits or changes to access to the Site or adjacent properties that occur after the date of this Agreement that materially impedes the performance of the Scope of Work;
vii. Demands, claims, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions and the like initiated by parties other than Client and Consultant that materially impedes the performance of the Scope of Work, including those tasks whereby the continued execution of this Agreement will result in, or has a credible possibility of resulting in, a third party lawsuit and/or enforcement action by the PADEP or other governmental agency;
viii▇▇▇▇. Other conditions that are mutually agreed to by the Client and Consultant that are demonstrated to significantly alter or materially impede the performance of the Scope of Work; or,
ix. One ▇▇▇ (1) or more Site-Specific Assumptions provided in Exhibit A no longer remain true and accurate.
b.
