CCA, LLC (CCA) will provide a Phase I site assessment as specified herein. By checking the order box you agree and accept the terms and conditions listed herein.

A Phase I site assessment is performed to identify any potential environmental concerns on-site and/or on adjacent properties that might pose financial liability for the property owner, buyer, and/or lien holder. CCA conducts Phase I assessments using information collected from current owner/tenants, previous owner/tenants, environmental data bases, municipal files and personnel, environmental regulatory files, published information and maps, and a site walk-over survey. Our assessments are performed pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Site Characterization Guidance Document as published by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CTDEP), September 2007, and in accordance with ASTM Standard Practice E 1527-05 guidelines.

PHASE I SCOPE OF SERVICES

The scope of services presented below summarizes the investigative activities that will take place as part of the Phase I environmental site assessment for the above-referenced property:

1. Visually observe accessible areas on the site to identify any apparent environmental concerns that may be present.
   
   
2. Visually inspect for the presence of deteriorating potentially lead-based paint, and friable asbestos containing materials (ACM). Confirmation sampling, if requested, would be performed at an additional cost as part of a separate "Phase II" site assessment.
   
   
3. Perform a drive-by-visual survey of the adjacent properties and surrounding area.
   
   
4. Review Municipal land ownership records to aid in determining current and historical subject site use.

CCA intends to use First Search Technology Corporation of Dedham, Massachusetts as a subcontractor for the computer data base search.
   
   
6. Contact appropriate local and State officials, and review readily available files, publications, and other pertinent materials (e.g., aerial photos, historical maps, municipal directories) in order to obtain information regarding the existence of notable conditions, land use, and environmental concerns on the subject site and surrounding properties.

   • Location map;
   • Site plan (if available);
   • Site/local area description and ascertained history;
