1. Introduction
pitt&sherry has been engaged by British Petroleum (BP) Australia to undertake a land use planning
assessment relating to the upgrade of the existing BP Newnham service station at 117 George Town Road,
Newnham. The proposed upgrade is part of an ongoing state-wide works program improving and upgrading
fuel service infrastructure relating to compliance measures and refreshing the BP branding.
The subject site covers three separate titles, has a frontage of 65.8 m along George Town Road, 41.42 m
along Tompsons Lane, a depth of 52.1 m and a total site area of 1,473 m2. The removal and replacement of
the existing, aging single walled fuel tanks with double walled fuel tanks is an essential measure in order to
comply with operational guidelines and continue safe operations at the site. By upgrading the infrastructure
at the Newnham site, BP will be able to continue to supply and service the greater Newnham / East Tamar
catchment.
Figure 1 - Site (existing) as seen from the east side of George Town Road
Figure 2 - Site (existing) as seen from the intersection of George Town Road and Tompsons Lane
2. Proposal
Plans of the proposed development are provided in Appendix A. The applicant is proposing upgrades which
are generally consistent with the existing development on site. Minor external alterations to the existing
signage on the control building / convenience shop are proposed – specifically the rebranding to the
contemporary ‘Bright Green Beacon’ (BGP) BP livery. The following upgrades to the fuel service and storage
functions are proposed:
• Removal and replacement of the existing underground fuel tank ‘farm’
• Installation of two new 90 kl, double walled fibreglass fuel tanks in a new location outside of the extents
of the new canopy area, however close to the fill box
• Installation of four new eight-hose dispensers for ULP91, PULP95, ULT98 and UADF under the existing
‘domino 4’ canopy
• Installation of a new dual ‘high flow’ UADF (ultimate Diesel) dispenser complete with high mast to outside
island of existing car canopy
Signage changes include:
• Removal of existing signage and replacement with the new ‘BGB’ signage and colour trims on the control
building including internally illuminated lettering reading ‘BP Brighton’ centred above the entry/exit to
the shop
• A new BGB 7 m MID (main identification sign) with LED digits replacing the existing 7 m retrofit ‘harmony’
MID on George Town Road.
The existing steel single walled fuels storage tanks are approximately 42 years old and it is acknowledged the
storage of corrosive pollutants over time in aging storage vessels can pose potential environmental risk. The
proposal is part of a significant investment by the applicant to reduce the risk of profile of each BP site by
removal, replacement and the upgrade of aging fuel storage, sales and supply infrastructure. The proposed
works are considered to meet and exceed current industry standards with high quality finishes ensuring BP
Newnham presents as a confident contribution to the area.
3. Site Context
The site, identified in the aerial image per Figure 4, is within the Launceston LGA and is located approximately
6.2 km from the Launceston CBD. The site is located at 117 George Town Road, Newnham and formerly
fronted the main road into the northern suburbs of Launceston. Developed as a vehicle fuel sales and service
site in 1962, the site has been servicing motorists and the surrounding residential catchments of Newnham,
Rocherlea and Mayfield for well over 50 years. Situated within a long established residential neighbourhood,
the subject site abuts two properties containing single storey, detached dwellings to the south and south
west.
The site is described below. A copy of the title documents is provided in Appendix B.
4. Operational Matters
BP Newnham services motorists and customers using the existing convenience shop 24 hours, seven days a
week. No change in use forms part of this proposal. Delivery schedules of B-doubles servicing the site with
fuels are not proposed to change.
The proposal is a logical upgrade of an existing use which predominantly services the local catchment and
will result in the facility meeting best practice environmental standards.

8. State Policies
The following State Policies are currently in force:
• State Policy on Water Quality and Management 1997
The objectives of the policy will be achieved through the management of erosion and sediment control during
construction and the appropriate management of stormwater from the site.
The proposed works are not known to conflict with or contravene any of the above State Policies.
9. Conclusion
In all instances, compliance with either the applicable Acceptable Solutions or Performance Criteria has been
demonstrated, with the proposed alterations to the BP Newnham site not impacting on the amenity of the
Local Business nor the General Residential area in which the site has operated for well over 50 years.
Based on the supporting information within this report, it is submitted there is sufficient justification for
supporting the upgrade works as proposed. The proposal satisfies the intent of the relevant Codes and
provides an important support service to the surrounding residential catchments and to tourists alike. The
proposal demonstrates an acceptable outcome and warrants approval subject to reasonable and relevant
conditions.

I refer to your letter seeking additional information in respect of the above application. I also refer to
the Request for Additional Information from TasWater. This letter addresses the matters raised in
both requests.
A1
Garbage trucks are considered to be commercial vehicles. Garbage collection is currently carried out throughout
the day and this will not alter as a consequence of the proposal. The planning report has been amended to reflect
this.
P2
The nature of operations on site will not change under the proposed development. The application relates to the
upgrade of underground fuel storage and bowsers, and replacement signage, as detailed in the planning report.
There will be no additional noise or traffic generated as a consequence of the upgrades and no resultant decrease
in the level of amenity currently enjoyed by nearby residents. The timing of garbage collection and fuel delivery are
set by external suppliers and are not proposed to alter. The intermittent day time movement of a garbage collection
truck or fuel truck between the control building and the southern boundary is not considered likely to result in a loss
of amenity at the residence to the south. The fuel fill points are located on the north east corner of the site, adjacent
the intersection of Tompsons Lane and George Town Rd and will not impact on any residents. The planning report
has been amended to reflect this.
(a) Details of the Luminance of the proposed signage which satisfy the relevant Australian Standards (including
Australian Standard AS4282-1997 “The Control of the Obtrusive Effects of Outdoor Lighting”).
This standard contains limits on the maximum luminance to be experienced at the nearest residences. For the
purpose of determining applicable standards the site, and adjoining areas, fall within Zone A4 – High district
brightness. This includes town and city centres and other commercial areas and residential areas abutting
commercial areas. Signs fall within the Lit surfaces provisions of the standard which includes light emitting signs.
The levels permitted relate to the orientation of the sign, the siting of the building impacted and the hours of
operation. As the signs will be illuminated over night it is expected the ‘curfew’ provisions of the sign will be
imposed. If the signs are replaced as proposed, they will comply with the relevant provisions of the standard. At
this stage, no detailed specification has been prepared as plans are only for the DA, however, it is expected a
condition will be imposed requiring compliance with the standard.
(b) Clarification whether any new floodlighting or external lighting is proposed (including for the canopies).
Details of changes to the signage, including illuminated elements, is provided in Section 7 of the planning report,
under E18.0 – Signs Code. No new flood lighting is proposed as part of this application. Canopy lighting exists and
will be replaced as part of the new awnings. This will comply with relevant standards for illumination and safety.
There is currently an outdoor light on the southern corner of the control building. This will be retained. As outlined
in the report, the following lighting is proposed on the canopy as part of signage and corporate branding:
• Installation of an illuminated LED strip through the centre of the canopy sign (printed bullnose decal)
• Replacement of the current BP ‘Helios button’ symbols on the canopy sign with new versions
The only new element is the LED strip on the canopy. This has been addressed in the amended report.
P4
Details of the Luminance of the proposed signage which satisfy the relevant Australian Standards (including
Australian Standard AS4282-1997 “The Control of the Obtrusive Effects of Outdoor Lighting”) – see above.
Acceptable Solution A4 requires that “A sign not be illuminated”. The MID sign proposed is to replace an existing
illuminated sign which is slightly smaller. The sign is in the same location and the design is essentially the same
and if not for the relatively minor increase in height and panel area could be replaced without approval. Reliance of
the proposed sign on Performance Criteria for those variations is addressed in the planning report. The illumination
of the sign was not addressed as this aspect of the sign is not changing. The current sign has a top white
illuminated panel with the BP symbol, illuminated red Velocity panel and two illuminated price sign panels, with an
additional panel in between. The new sign will have four illuminated panels, including the top white BP symbol
panel, the Velocity panel and two price panels. Notwithstanding the consistency between the signs, the
Performance Criteria have been addressed in respect of the sign. This is included in the amended report.
TasWater RAI
The TasWater mapping has been reviewed and the site has been inspected for obvious water and sewer
infrastructure features. There are two inspection lids for internal lines to the rear of the control building however no
changes are proposed in this area. The extract from the mapping on listmap below shows there are no separate
stormwater systems in this area, with a 100 mm sewer lateral on site connecting to a gravity reticulation main
located just outside the south west corner of the site. A 150 mm water main is located in George Town Road along
the frontage of the site but is outside the area of any proposed works. A water distribution line services the property
from this main and is the only connection to the site. No public infrastructure is located on site.
The works proposed involve the removal of the pavement areas and decommissioning of underground tanks. The
final configuration of the site will be determined when new tank and supporting infrastructure installations are
determined. There are no services currently located on site and new connections, if required, will be determined as
part of the detailed design phase. There will be the installation of on-site stormwater treatment systems however
the proposed connection of this to TasWater systems cannot be determined at the DA stage.
With regards the drainage and treatment of stormwater from the site, there is a replacement grated drain shown on
the site plan, at the end of the bowser apron. This will drain to an oil/water separator to be placed in a suitable
location determined on site. This will treat all run-off including any fuel/oil residues on the pavement.
The oil/water separator chosen is one appropriate to treat flows in the bowser area. A SPEL Puraceptor P.002, or a
comparable proprietary system, is considered an appropriate proprietary treatment device to ensure the treatment
of stormwater flows originating in the bowser area below the canopy. It has an automatic closure device which
helps prevent spillage of light liquids such as oils. The device is designed specifically for areas such as re-fuelling
sites.
The device has been sized based on an assumed portion of rainfall landing below the canopy. Stormwater is
intercepted by the grated strip drains and conveyed to the system for treatment. The attached pdf document details
the Puraceptor design and provides the following indictive average annual pollutant reduction percentages:
I trust this addresses the issues raised. If you have any further enquiries please don’t hesitate to contact me.

1. Introduction
BP has commissioned pitt&sherry to design upgrade work to its service station at 117 George Town Road,
Newnham, Tasmania. This document will provide a Stormwater Management Plan to address Launceston
City Council’s planning requirements. The site sits in the Local Business zone under the Launceston Interim
Planning Scheme 20151 (Planning Scheme) and is shown in Figure 1 below.
The plan will include a concept for the general management of stormwater on the re-development site and
will describe:
• The stormwater flow paths
• Stormwater infrastructure and treatment device locations
• Existing adjacent council stormwater infrastructure and points of discharge.

2. Stormwater Assessment
The stormwater management plan was developed using information from the following sources:
• Design and survey data and levels.
• Desktop inspection of aerial imagery and google street view.
From here stormwater from across the site is conveyed via multiple 100mm pipes into a large pit. Surveyors
were unable to remove the lid at the time so the conveyance from the pit to the external Council system is
uncertain. Stormwater across the entire extent of the property is intercepted on site. The vast majority of
the surface is impervious.

5. Conclusion
BP has commissioned pitt&sherry to design upgrade work to its service station at 117 George Town Road,
Newnham, Tasmania. A stormwater management plan to describe the conveyance of stormwater across the
site has been developed to support the development application.
Minor drainage improvements will be provided to accommodate the regraded pavement to ensure adequate
conveyance and discharge of stromwater from the site is maintained and runoff in the bowser area is directed
to a proprietary treatment device.

1. INTRODUCTION
Environmental Management & Consulting Pty Ltd (EM&C) were engaged by JBS&G Pty Ltd (JBS&G) to prepare a
Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for BP Australia Pty Ltd’s (BP) proposed Underground
Tank Management Program (UTMP) at 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (the ‘site’). The location of
the site within the town of Newnham and state of Tasmania is shown on attached Figure 1.
1.1. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this CEMP is to provide BP’s appointed Principal Contractor with procedures to manage the
environmental hazards and risks associated with the UTMP works to ensure the protection of human health and
the environment. The scope of the works addressed by this CEMP is identified in the Section 1.2 below.
The location of existing UST’s T1-T6 and the proposed location of the new dual containment UST’s are shown on
Attached Figure 2.
This CEMP is limited to the above identified scope of UTMP works and does not apply to any other potential
work program at this site.
UTMP CEMP, BP Newnham, 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (vR01) 6
Following a review of the site’s historic Dangerous Goods File (DGF), Table 1.3 below was populated with details
of the site’s current operational and historic site’s underground petroleum storage system (UPSS) and shows
Tank ID’s, tank sizes, tank type, year installed, operational status and identified history of fuel type(s) stored
within each tank. The locations of all documented site USTs (both operational and historic) are shown on
Attached Figure 2.

A number of environmental controls and procedures are presented within this section to provide guidance to
the appointed Civil Contractor during the completion of the scope of works identified in Section 1.2:
• The decommissioning and removal from site of three operational underground storage tanks (USTs):
o ‘T1’: 1 x 26.0 kL unleaded petrol UST.
o ‘T2’: 1 x 26.0 kL Ultimate UST.
o ‘T3’: 1 x 16.5 kL diesel UST.
o ‘T4’: 1 x 12.7 kL ultimate UST.
• The decommissioning and removal or in-situ abandonment, of three historic UST’s:
o ‘T4’: 1 x 4.5 kL former diesel UST, which has not be used since between 2004 and 2008.
o ‘T5’: 1 x 4.5 kL former kerosene UST, which has not be used since between 2004 and 2008.
o ‘T6’: 1 x 2.5 kL former waste oil UST, the operational status of this UST is not known.
• The removal of soil from the site during the excavation of the new dual containment UST tank pit and
any dewatering program required for the installation of the new UST’s.
• The removal and replacement of all existing underground UPSS pipework and new signage.
• The replacement of the site existing fuel pumps.
• The backfilling of the new UST tank pit with imported fill material.
It is incumbent upon the appointed Principal Contractor to ensure adherence to not only the controls and
procedures presented within this CEMP, but also with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements identified in
Section 3 and any additional requirements, which might be supplied by Council as part of the planning approval
process.
At the time of writing, the development application had not been submitted to council, accordingly DA
conditions and any additional environmental requirements were unknown. As a result, this CEMP must be
amended accordingly when and if any additional requirements are mandated as part of the approval.
To ensure compliance with the management controls listed below, an Environmental Inspection Checklist is to
be utilised during the works program to monitor and document compliance with the CEMP. A monitoring form
has been included for this purpose within Appendix A.
UTMP CEMP, BP Newnham, 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (vR01) 10
To ensure underground services are protected during the completion of UTMP Works, a survey of all
underground services and below ground assets shall be undertaken prior to breaking ground.
The survey shall be undertaken by a licensed underground service location professional with prior completion
of:
• Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) search enquiry.
• Consultation with any utility company with a critical asset identified on the DBYD enquiry.
• Review of company as-built construction plans.
• Review of historic dangerous goods (DG) records for the site held by Workplace Standards Tasmania (a
copy of these records are included within EM&C UTMP ESA Report, 2018).
The risk posed by potentially explosive vapours to site workers and surrounding properties will be controlled by
implementing the following controls:
• The Civil Contractor shall undertake a risk assessment/ JSA to determine the need for atmospheric
monitoring of volatile organic compounds. Should monitoring be conducted, vapour action levels are
presented in Table 4.1.2 below.
• Where Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) monitoring is undertaken as part of this project, the following action
levels and response criteria are presented with appropriate control measures. Monitoring is to be
conducted continuously in the designated work area. Action level exceedances are to be recorded.
• For the purpose of environmental sample collection, confined spaces are not to be entered. Where
necessary, samples shall be collected removed with either the aid of hand augers with extendable bars
or with the assistance of an excavator.
UTMP CEMP, BP Newnham, 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (vR01) 11
The site shall be managed to ensure adequate controls are in place to mitigate against the generation of
airborne dust and odour. Dust and odour control will be achieved by applying one or more of the following
actions, as necessary:
If monitoring identifies the control measures are not successful in preventing dust or offensive levels of odour
leaving the site, fieldworks will cease until the levels reduce to acceptable levels, or until more effective
mitigation measures can be implemented.
Sediment run-off may be generated on site by the erosion of exposed areas and stockpiles. The site shall be
managed to ensure migration of sediment off-site is prevented.
The following mitigation measures are provided to give options to the Civil Contractor:
• Establishment of silt fencing/hay bales across down gradient site boundaries where surface water
could flow from excavation and stockpile areas.
• Existing site stormwater channels should be maintained where possible to capture stormwater flow
and silt traps installed prior to discharge points where it can enter adjacent roads, drains or off-site
water bodies.
• Establishment of bunds around stockpiled soil using hay bales. 200µm plastic sheets should be used as
a base for the stockpile bund in unpaved areas to prevent contaminants leaching into the subsurface.
• Covering soil stockpiles with plastic sheets.
• Minimising the duration over which excavations are left open and/or schedule excavation activities
during periods of dry weather.
• Reinstatement of surface cover materials at the completion of project (either landscaping or hard
surfaces) to remove areas of unsealed & uncovered ground.
UTMP CEMP, BP Newnham, 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (vR01) 12
The Civil Contractor shall ensure compliance with Council Noise restrictions and regulatory noise limits limited
site work hours in table below and any additional stipulated requirements of Council.
In the event that noise complaints are received, works will cease and the appointed Civil Contractor or
Consultant will notify the Principal Contractor. The source of the noise leading to the complaint will be
investigated and methodologies reviewed to mitigate the nuisance to local residents.
Vibration generated from site activities is to be controlled so as to avoid damage to on or off-site buildings and
structures.
• A dilapidation survey of site buildings and surrounding off-site buildings is to be undertaken by the
appointed Principal Contractor before commencement of UTMP Works.
• If use of vibration is necessary to break concrete hardstand, consolidated rock or to compact
excavation backfill, vibration to surrounding properties should be expected. There is potential for off-
site vibration to cause structural damage, undertaking vibration monitoring at boundary monitoring
points should considered.
If potential exist for vibrations to cause damage to off-site buildings, works shall cease and appointed Civil
Contractor and Principal Contractor shall review construction methodologies to mitigate this risk to an
acceptable level.
UTMP CEMP, BP Newnham, 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (vR01) 13
All solid and liquid waste to be management and disposed off-site in accordance with Tasmanian Waste
Management Regulations.
The waste management hierarchy shall be used to optimize environmental outcomes when making decisions on
management of solid and liquid waste, beginning with the most preferable and ends with least preferable.
The Waste Hierarchy Picture, Source: NSW EPA, Waste Avoidance and Recovery Strategy.
Soil Contaminated Asbestos Containing Material (ACMs) shall be removed and disposed of in accordance with
with Asbestos advice provided by a qualified occupational hygienist to ensure site worker and public safety is
Containing Material maintained.

• Historical observations have identified the presence of groundwater within the only monitoring well
onsite, MW1. This well was installed in March 1997 by Fluor Daniel GTI where groundwater was
intercepted at approximately 2.46 meters below ground surface.
• Subsequent investigations by BP in 2000 identified 0.068m of LNAPL within MW1, however no mention
was made regarding depth to water/LNAPL (Referenced in BP, 2001).
• In 2001 MW1 was observed to contain no LNAPL, the presence of groundwater within the well was not
explicitly documented within the report.
o The 2001 report did however note groundwater was not encountered during the drilling
program, which included the drilling of fourteen soil bores.
o SB1(2001) was drilled to 8.0mBGS and left overnight. Gauging of the bore on the following day
indicated that the bore did not make water.
o The report concluded, ‘recent site investigations confirmed that this water is not linked to a
regional aquifer; rather, it is representative of the quality of perched water contained within
the pit sands’.
• Observations made during the 2018 UTMP ESA identified that groundwater was not present within
MW1 (gauged well depth 3.060m).
Should water be encountered during the UPSS decommissioning phase of works, the encountered groundwater
needs to be assessed in accordance with EPA Tasmania guidelines (see Section 3).
Water encountered in and removed from excavations will either be disposed off-site using a licensed waste
management contractor or:
• Discharged to Sewer with the prior consent of TasWater; or
• Discharged to Stormwater with the prior consent of Launceston City Council (LCC).
The Principal Contractor shall obtain prior approval from the receiving authority (either TasWater or LCC) prior
to the discharge on any water removed from excavation area.
To reduce the volume of water entering open excavation from rainfall run-off events, consideration shall be
given to backfilling all open excavation as soon as possible. Where excavations cannot be quickly backfilled,
efforts should be made to divert surface water run-off away or around the open excavation.
Where water is to be removed from site by a licensed waste disposal contractor, the process of removal shall be
documented. This includes the details of the water disposal contractor, the volume and date of water removed,
details of any completed water analysis, details of the receiving water treatment facility for licensed disposal
facility.
UTMP CEMP, BP Newnham, 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (vR01) 15
Material imported to the site for the purpose of filling excavations shall be suitable for site’s existing
commercial/industrial land use as defined by the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site
Contamination) Amendment Measure 2013 and should also conform to the ‘fill material’ standard defined
within the EPA Tasmania Information Bulletin 105 ‘Classification and Management of Contaminated Soil For
Disposal’, Nov 2012.
The Principal Contractor shall be notified if imported fill material does not conform to the above requirements.
This material shall be deemed unsuitable for use on site and shall be removed from site. Depending on the level
of material contamination, there may also be a statutory requirement to notify Council and the EPA.
UTMP CEMP, BP Newnham, 117 George Town Road, Newnham, Tasmania (vR01) 16
Where possible and subject to the proposed design considerations provided by BP, the Civil Works Contractor is
to maintain all woody trees onsite. Unrequired excavation within the root zones of woody trees must be
avoided.
Initial site assessment made during the UTMP ESA did not identify any specific at risk animal populations1.
However due to the transient nature of wildlife, prior to the start of works, the Civil contractor is to determine if,
at risk populations are present within the works area. Should such a population be identified, the following
should be considered by the Civil Works Contractor
• Establish protected areas, to control the impact of works on at risk populations,
• Define access tracks to avoid at risk populations and mark these appropriately, and
• Implement sediment controls such as listed within Section 4.1.4
Should any native fauna be found to be injured at the works site, the Civil Works Contractor is to contact a local
animal rescue centre for advice.
Environmental incidents on the site, which could require emergency response may relate to a spill of a
hazardous liquid or material at the site, which may contaminate soils, enter the stormwater system, exposed
utility trenches and potentially impact local waterways. For spills on land, the following shall be undertaken by
the Civil Works Contractor:
• Identify source of spill and control the spill source when safe to do so.
• Where possible, utilise spill kits available to protect drains/pits and absorb / contain spills and/or
construct an earthen bund to contain spill using earth moving equipment available on site.
• Contractor to coordinate the pumping of liquid waste out of the containment structure and disposal to a
licensed waste facility. If spilt material is non-liquid, the Civil Contractor shall coordinate the excavation
and removal of the hazardous material to a secure area.
• The appointed Environmental Consultant shall assess the location of the environmental incident for
potential loss to ground of contaminants and advise the appointed Civil Contractor on required control or
remediation measures.
• Assess the severity of the spill and potential impact on surrounding premises and if required, notify the
regulator and/or fire brigade of the incidents.

EM&C’s December 2018 UTMP ESA Report identified all assessed in-situ soil has been assessed to confirm to the
‘fill material’ assessment standard identified in EPA publication, Information Bulletin 105, Classification and
Management of Contaminated Soil for Disposal (November 2012) with the following exceptions:
o SB5 at a depth of 2.6-2.7m. This sample was taken within Tank 2 tank sands
o The soils directly below the base of the tank pit within SB5 at a depth of 2.85-2.95m
The completed assessment was however limited because ESA sample locations could not be placed directly
beneath UPSS infrastructure. This limitation means that more highly contaminated material may be discovered
following removal of UPSS infrastructure.
The appointed Environmental Consultant shall also be responsible for characterising soil requiring removal
during the UTMP works for suitable off-site disposal. Attempts should be made to segregate and separately
stockpile tank pit bedding material from natural soil.
The Environmental Consultant and the Principal Contractor shall maintain a soil tracking register to capture soil
movements to and from site, details of material volumes and material descriptions, details of transport
companies and where necessary records of EPA Waster Transport Business license details, and details of any
receiving landfill. Records of EPA material classification and disposal approval must be forwarded to BP and
should also be forwarded to the Principal Contractor.

7. STATEMENT OF LIMITATIONS
This report has been prepared in accordance with the scope of services described in the contract or agreement between
Environmental Management & Consulting Pty Ltd (EM&C) and the Client. The report relies upon data, surveys, measurements and
results taken at or under the particular times and conditions specified herein. Any findings, conclusions or recommendations only
apply to the aforementioned circumstances and no greater reliance should be assumed or drawn by the Client. Furthermore, the
report has been prepared solely for use by the Client and EM&C accepts no responsibility for its use by other parties. The client
agrees that EM&C’s report or associated correspondence will not be used or reproduced in full or in part for promotional purposes
and cannot be used or relied upon in any prospectus or offering.
No warranties express or implied are made. Subject to the Scope of Work, EM&Cs assessment is limited strictly to identifying typical
environmental conditions associated with the subject property and does not include evaluation of the structural conditions of any
buildings on the subject property or any other issues. Additionally, unless otherwise stated EM&C did not conduct soil, air,
wastewater or other matrix analyses including asbestos or perform contaminated sampling of any kind. Nor did EM&C investigate any
waste material from the property that may have been disposed of off the site, nor related waste management practices.
The results of this assessment are based upon site inspection conducted by EM&C personnel, information from interviews with
people who have knowledge of site conditions and information provided by regulatory agencies. All conclusions and
recommendations regarding the property are the professional opinions of the EM&C personnel involved with the project, subject to
the qualifications made above.
While normal assessments of data reliability have been made, EM&C assumes no responsibility or liability for errors in any data
obtained from regulatory agencies, statements from sources outside of EM&C, or developments resulting from situations outside the
scope of this project.
EM&C is not engaged in environmental auditing and /or reporting of any kind for the purpose of advertising sales promoting, or
endorsement of any clients’ interests, including raising investment capital, recommending investment decisions, or other publicity
purposes. EM&C assumes no responsibility or liability for errors in any data obtained from regulatory agencies, statements from
sources outside of EM&C, or developments resulting from situations outside the scope of this project.
Information relating to soil, groundwater, waste, air or other matrix conditions in this document is considered to be accurate at the
date of issue. Surface, subsurface and atmospheric conditions can vary across a particular site or region, which cannot be wholly
defined by investigation. As a result, it is unlikely that the results and estimations presented in this report will represent the extremes
of conditions within the site that may exist. Subsurface conditions including contaminant concentrations can change in a limited
period of time and typically have a high level of spatial heterogeneity.
From a technical perspective, there is a high degree of uncertainty associated with the assessment of subsurface, aquatic and
atmospheric environments. They are prone to be heterogeneous, complex environments, in which small subsurface features or
changes in geologic conditions or other environmental anomalies can have substantial impact on water, air and chemical movement.
Major uncertainties can also occur with source characterization assessment of chemical fate and transport in the environment,
assessment of exposure risks and health effects, and remedial action performance. These factors make uncertainty an inherent
feature of potentially impacted sites. Technical uncertainties are characteristically several orders of magnitude greater at impacted
sites than for other kinds of projects.
EM&C’s professional opinions are based upon its professional judgment, experience, and training. These opinions are also based
upon data derived from the limited testing and analysis described in this report. It is possible that additional testing and analysis
might produce different results and/or different opinions or other opinions. EM&C has limited its investigation(s) to the scope agreed
upon with its client. EM&C believes that its opinions are reasonably supported by the testing and analysis that has been undertaken
(if any), and that those opinions have been developed according to the professional standard of care for the environmental
consulting profession in this area at this time. Other opinions and interpretations may be possible. That standard of care may change
and new methods and practices of exploration, testing and analysis may develop in the future, which might produce different results.
