Site Reconnaissance. To document the existing conditions of the project area, including the presence of areas with specific regulatory requirements, the CONSULTANT will conduct a pedestrian reconnaissance of the project area. The CONSULTANT will traverse the length of the project area on foot and document any potential areas within environmental constraints, such as watercourses, wetlands, and steep slopes. A handheld GPS will record the position or boundaries of any identified features and will be used in the preparation of project maps. Findings of the efforts will be documented in a short technical memo and provided to the CITY. If WSDOT Local Programs staff request a site visit, the field reconnaissance will be coordinated to correspond with the WSDOT site visit. Assumption(s) • No formal delineation of wetlands or other critical areas is anticipated or included. • This task includes one, four-hour site visit with two environmental CONSULTANT staff. Deliverable(s) • Technical memorandum documenting methods and findings of site reconnaissance (one electronic copy)

Site Reconnaissance. A site visit to the subject property was conducted on September 8, 1997. During the site visit, AEI personnel conducted interviews with the following BIPCO personnel: ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Manager of Engineering and Governmental Affairs and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇

Site Reconnaissance. The Firm’s personnel will perform a site reconnaissance of the project area, or subject property, to document current project conditions. Adjacent properties will be observed from the project area and from public ROWs to visually identify and photograph areas with potential recognized environmental conditions as defined in the ASTM standard. The Firm will include a general discussion in the report of how field observations relate to potential contamination, if appropriate. The scope of work does not include activities such as collecting or analyzing soil, air, water, or other environmental samples and will not address issues such as radon, lead, or radioactivity. The Firm’s personnel will require access to the entire project area on the date of the site reconnaissance. Access to private lands, locked gates, or restricted areas will be arranged by the County. It is assumed that the County will assist with landowner access as needed, which could include providing landowner notifications or land access permission letters for the Firm’s staff to carry.

Site Reconnaissance. 1.1.4.1. A site reconnaissance will be conducted to obtain information indicating the likelihood of identifying recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. An environmental professional will visit the site and visually and physically observe the property and any structures on the property. The interiors of any structures will be inspected. The methodology used and any limitations to the observations will be documented. Uses and conditions to be evaluated include current and past use of the property and adjoining properties and surrounding area; geologic, hydrogeologic, hydrologic, and topographic conditions; structures; roads; potable water supply; sewage disposal; hazardous substances to include asbestos and petroleum products; storage tanks; odors; pools of liquid; drums; containers; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); heating/cooling; stains or corrosion; drains and sumps; pits, ponds, or lagoons; stained soil or pavement; stressed vegetation; solid waste; waste water; ▇▇▇▇▇; and septic systems. In addition, threatened or endangered species, and wetlands will be identified during the site reconnaissance.

Site Reconnaissance. The Firm’s personnel will perform a site reconnaissance of the subject property to document current project conditions. Adjacent properties will be observed from the project area and from public rights-of- way to visually identify and photograph areas with potential recognized environmental conditions. The Firm will include a general discussion in the report of how field observations relate to potential contamination, if appropriate. The scope of services does not include activities such as collecting or analyzing soil, air, water, or other environmental samples and will not address issues such as radon, lead, or radioactivity. The Firm’s personnel will require access to all of the project area on the date of the site reconnaissance. Access to private lands, locked gates, or restricted areas will be arranged by the County. It is assumed that the County will assist with landowner access as needed, which could include providing landowner notifications or land access permission letters for the Firm’s staff to carry. User-provided information is an essential component of the PIESA and includes items such as copies of any previous PIESAs or other relevant environmental documents, a completed PIESA user questionnaire, the reason why the PIESA is being performed, and contact information for current or past owners or land users. The ASTM standard states the user is responsible for completing a search of recorded land-title records and judicial records of environmental liens and AULs. If the user opts not to search for liens and AULs, this would be noted as a limitation of the report. The user of the report is defined as the party seeking to use ASTM Standard E 1527-13 to complete a PIESA of the property. • The Firm will summarize and document the PIESA findings in one report. Sections within the report will include 1) an introduction and description of the scope of services; 2) a description of the project area; 3) a summary of the project area history, including interviews and user-provided information; 4) a regulatory database review; 5) a description of the site reconnaissance; and 6) report findings and conclusions. Report limitations and literature cited will also be included. • Figures, at a minimum will include 1) a regional site location map and 2) aerial photography with mapped points of interest. Where applicable, report appendices could include 1) environmental database records and supplemental data; 2) documentation of interviews and other corresponden...

Site Reconnaissance. A site reconnaissance will be performed to inspect for evidence of past and/or current presence of hazardous materials on the site and adjoining sites. In addition, L&G will evaluate any factors in the review of the public record that might be indicative of activities that resulted in hazardous materials being used or deposited on the site or that could result in contamination of the site. The site reconnaissance will include: • Performance of a detailed physical and visual reconnaissance of every section of the site and adjacent property to observe any signs which may indicate the presence of contaminants on the property and contaminant pathways to the property. • Photographic documentation of all indicative features of the site for inclusion in the final report.

Site Reconnaissance. Conduct a field reconnaissance of the alternative project sites with the City and team members to review layout of the proposed improvements and gather additional field information. ▪ Timely responses to data requests ▪ Attend site reconnaissance with Murraysmith ▪ Obtain all right of entry agreements necessary for completion of field work ▪ City will provide available data within two (2) weeks of request. ▪ The site survey will include a title report search to obtain boundary and easement information for the subject property. ▪ No permits will be required for completion of the field investigations. ▪ No archaeological resources will be identified during field work. ▪ Completion of geotechnical, critical areas, and archaeological field work will occur immediately following selection of the preferred siting alternative. ▪ Completion of tree assessments and preparation of an arborist report is not included in this scope. Depending upon the results of the siting evaluation to be completed under Task 4, an arborist report may be necessary for permitting and will be added via an amendment to the contract. ▪ Data request list(s) ▪ Final geotechnical report will be submitted electronically to the City in PDF format. ▪ Survey base map and data files in AutoCAD format ▪ Critical areas report in PDF format Task 4 Siting Evaluation This task will include coordination with City staff on key design elements, completion of a siting evaluation to determine the preferred location for the new facility, and preparation of a technical memo documenting the siting evaluation. The results of the alternatives workshop will be incorporated into a technical memo and will determine the extent to which the acquisition of easements/and or property is required in Phase 2.
