Background: Converse conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Phase II ESA in September 2003. Based on the findings of the Phase I and Phase It ESAs, the following issue remained to be addressed: A plastic pipe (Y2 -foot diameter, 3 feet long) was observed protruding from the ground on the southern portion of the Property. The Property owner stated that a septic tank existed under the pipe. Converses recommended that prior to acquiring the Property, the septic tank be removed according to applicable regulations. In March 2007, Pardee Homes (Pardee) contacted Converse to document the abandonement of the above mentioned septic tank. At the request of Pardee, Converse conducted a final site visit to ascertain the current conditions of the Property. Site Visit: On March 22, 2007, Converse visited the Property. Converse was accompanied by Mr. Bill Hicks, Off -Site Superintendent with Pardee. Converse assessed the area of the abandoned septic tank. The abandoned septic tank is located on the southern portion of the Property. west of an electrical powerpole. According to Mr. Hicks, a backhoe was utilized to trench in the area of the septic tank. During the trenching activities, the septic tank was fully exposed. The septic tank was observed to be dry, and was completely disconnected from any piping After Inspection 0 CC ATTACHMENT 3 0001. :'2 Pardee Homes Converse Project No. 03 -41- 319 -01 March 30, 2007 of the septic tank, the septic tank was left in place and filled with sand, and the trench was backfilled with sand. The area is currently a relatively even ground surface with no vegetation. No environmental concerns were noted. A copy of a Pardee Purchase Order regarding the septic tank abandonment is attached. In addition, two (2) concrete slabs that were previously noted in the Phase I ESA conducted in September 2003 were removed. No environmental concerns were noted in the area of the former concrete slabs. Conclusions and Recommendations: Based on observations during the Site visit assessing the recent work completed on the Property and the review of records documenting abandonment, no further assessment appears to be warranted with regards to the former septic system. Closure: This report is for the sole benefit and exclusive use of Pardee Homes, in accordance with the terms and conditions attached to our work order under which these services have been provided. Its preparation has been in accordance with generally accepted environmental practices. No other warranty, either express or implied, is made.
