. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6.6 Wetland Map Review Liesch reviewed the U.S. Department of Interior National Wetlands Inventory Map (NWI) for the vicinity of the Property to ascertain the existence of documented wetlands on the Property. No federally documented wetlands were shown to exist on the Property as depicted on the NWI. 7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Work performed for this Phase One ESA included review of state, county, and municipal information on the Property; walk-over survey of the Property; and review of historical data. This Phase One ESA of the Property was conducted in general conformance with the scope and limitations of the ASTM Standard Practice E-1527. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Property. The following is a summary of items of environmental significance noted for the Property which may require existing or future environmental evaluation/compliance activities. . A drinking water well reportedly exist on the Property. Wells are of interest because they provide potential pathways for contaminant migration to the subsurface from sources located above or below the ground. If any of the wells are not being used in the future, it is recommended that the they be abandoned by a licensed contractor, according to MDH codes. . A septic system reportedly exists on the Property. Septic systems are a potential concern as they are a direct pathway for contaminants to reach the subsurface soil and groundwater. If not in use, the septic system should be properly abandoned. . Fluorescent lamps were noted in the house and thermostats may also be present on the Property. These lamps contain small amounts of mercury, lead and sometimes cadmium, heavy metals which may be toxic in small amounts. Federal regulations prohibit the disposal of these lamps in landfills. Spent fluorescent lamps and thermostats that contain hazardous waste must be managed as hazardous wastes. . One fluorescent light fixture was observed in the house. The associated ballast may contain PCBs. Unless ballasts are determined to be non-PCB items based on labeling or chemical analysis, they should be treated as PCB containing items. Ballasts may continue to be used without restriction unless fluid leakage or damage occurs. When ~''''''' / Junuary 1997 ,,,,/ ~-_......~~~~"..... B.A. LIESCH ASSOCIATES, INC. Hydrogeologists .
