Task Description:

Provide a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Baseline Documentation Report (BDR) as separate reports for the above referenced parcel(s) as described in Exhibit “A”; in accordance with Division of State Lands (DSL) standards which are attached as Exhibit “B” and in accordance with the cost estimate provided in Exhibit “C.” In addition, the Contractor must comply with the most current American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) 2247 standard for conducting Phase I ESAs on forestland or rural property. If the DSL standards and ASTM requirements for Phase I ESAs conflict, then the Contractor must perform to the more stringent of the requirements (ASTM scope and limitations will be provided to the Contractor upon request). The signatory on the report must be an “environmental professional”, as that term is defined by ASTM.

Deviations:

The following deviations from DSL standards and/or Contract PL266 will be authorized:

1) DSL will not require a 50-year chain-of-title search; however, the Contractor will be responsible for conducting a proper Environmental Lien and AUL Search. Contractor shall report on the findings of this search and provide an assessment as to whether any findings constitute a significant concern.

2) DSL waives the requirement to submit five (5) certified hard copies of the Phase I ESA report and three (3) certified hard copies of the BDR to DSL. Two digital copies (compact disc) will be required to be submitted to DSL for each report. Contractor shall remain responsible for providing one (1) certified hard copy of each report to the landowner.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

COMBINATION BASELINE DOCUMENTATION/ENVIRONMENTAL

SITE ASSESSMENT REPORTS FOR

LESS THAN FEE SIMPLE LAND ACQUISITIONS

For less-than-fee-simple land acquisitions made on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund ("Board"), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will task the Contractor to perform a combined phase one environmental site assessment and baseline documentation study. The results should be provided in two (2) separate reports by the Contractor. One report must satisfy the requirements of DEP, Division of State Lands (DSL), and those of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act as set forth in 42 U.S.C., Section 9601 (CERCLA) regarding environmental assessments (Environmental Site Assessment Report). The second is to satisfy the DEP DSL requirements regarding documentation of conditions, at the time of acquisition, of properties over which a conservation easement or other less-than-fee-simple real estate interest is acquired (Baseline Documentation Report).

The purposes of two reports are to perform the required services of an environmental assessment as described below, including summarizing recommendations and conclusions, remediation activities where needed, consultation on assessment implications and remediation, and expert witness activities as required. In addition, the reports will identify natural resources on site, land use activities present at the time of the report, threatened or endangered species present, and describe the property adequately to establish baseline conditions from which future monitoring may occur and management recommendations be made.

Scope of Services

The Contractor shall:

1. Provide certification of the environmental assessment/documentation report to the Board and any parties requested by DSL. If the report is not certified to the Board and other requested parties, no review of the assessment/documentation report will be performed. The certification shall state the following: (a) the date the original report was completed and the date of any update that is required; (b) the environmental assessment/document report meets the requirements of DEP, DSL; (c) the accuracy, correctness and completeness of the environmental assessment portion of the report is provided with the knowledge of the CERCLA requirements as set forth in 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, as amended; and (d) the Board is entitled to rely on the information set forth in the environmental assessment/documentation report.

2. Search the recorded chain of title documents regarding the Property, including, but not limited to, all deeds, easements, leases for oil, gas, mineral, lumber, timber, turpentine rights and agricultural purposes, and other uses, restrictions, reverters, and covenants, and rights-of-way for roads, railroads and utilities. The chain of title shall be of a sufficient length of time to account for previous ownership and uses of the property and uses of the Property that are likely to have an adverse environmental impact on the Property but in no event for a period of less than 50 years. The history shall be summarized in chronological order from the earliest instrument to the latest instrument listing all parties in the instrument, type of instrument and official record book and page number for each instrument.

3. Conduct interviews with the landowner and his/her employees or other pertinent individuals who may have knowledge of the on-site presence of listed species, unique features, and historical or archaeological sites.

Obtain any information available on fire history, grazing history and timbering history. Interview prior owners and neighbors as necessary.

DEP Contract No. Attachment C, Page 1 of 14

4. Determine the past and present uses of the Property.

· 5. Review current and historical aerial photographs of the Property and surrounding area for an evaluation of prior and current use. Include National Wetland Inventory maps and information from the Water Management District, Florida Department of Transportation of local counties for the purpose of conducting community mapping activities.

6. Interpret the aerial photography and soil maps of the site to prepare an initial natural communities map based on the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) Natural Communities Descriptions. Review surveys and ground-truth to finalize the maps and include ground water· characteristics and general topography.

• 7. Review pertinent, readily available literature and databases (including, but not limited to: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission publications, CARL or Florida Forever project assessment documents, FNAI, Florida Breeding Bird Atlas) for known on-site species occurrences and to identify listed species that are known to occur in the region.

8. Prepare a list of FNAI listed animals and plants that potentially inhabit the project site based on current or previous sightings.

9. Determine the existence of any federal, state and local environmental cleanup liens or enforcement actions against the Property.

10. Review reasonably obtainable federal, state and local records of existing and potentially contaminated sites, including site investigation reports for such contaminated sites; reasonably obtainable federal, state and local environmental records of activities on nearby properties that are likely to have an adverse environmental impact on the subject Property (including records of environmental problem sites, landfill and other disposal site records, underground storage tank records and known hazardous waste handler and generator records);

and such other reasonably obtainable federal, state and local environmental records which report incidents of sources of contamination on the subject Property. At least the following agency records should be review:

Federal NPL site list; Federal CIRCUS list; Federal RCRA TSO facilities list; Federal RCRA generators list;

Federal ERNS list; State list of hazardous waste identified for investigation or remediation; State landfill and/or solid waste disposal site lists; state leaking UST lists; State registered UST lists. The minimum search distance for these lists shall be as follows and shall be measured from the nearest property boundary:

a. Federal NPL site list - 1.0 mile

b. Federal CIRCLI list- 0.5 mile

c. Federal RCRA TSO facilities list - 1.0 mile

d. Federal RCRA generators list- property and adjoining properties

e. Federal ERNS list property only

f. State lists of hazardous waste sites - 1.0 mile

g. State leaking UST lists - 0.5 list

h. State registered UST lists - property and adjoining properties

i. State landfill and /or solid waste disposal site lists - 0.5 mile

11. Comply with the following Property investigation requirements:

a. A visual site inspection of the Property and all facilities and improvements on the Property, and a visual inspection of properties immediately adjacent to the Property, to determine or discover the obviousness of the of the presence or likely presence of contaminants on the Property (including chemical use, storage, treatment and disposal practices, past and present.) This inspection shall be conducted in such a manner that insures uniform coverage so that all of the Property is viewed. The Property may be inspected by use of a helicopter or plane. However, all items of concern noted during the aerial inspection shall be ground truthed. Additionally, all roadways and trails leading into the Property and all roads abutting the Property shall be inspected on the ground.

b. A field survey shall be conducted concurrently with the site inspection for the purposes of determining the likelihood of presence or absence of animal or plant species and verifying the boundaries and the condition of existing upland and wetland communities. Field surveys will be carried out at the appropriate times (early morning and late evening) and will include representative coverage of all habitat types with the potential for supporting listed plant and animal species. The field surveys should

DEP Contract No. , Attachment C, Page 2 of 14 be or adequate depth to maximize the chances of identifying listed species present on the Property.

FNAI listed plant species will be surveyed concurrently with the habitat surveys. When FNAI listed species are observed on the Property, provide a qualitative estimate of abundance (e.g., common, rare, etc.).

c. Man-made improvements such as residences, farm buildings, storage tanks, signs, dikes/dams, canals/ditches, roads, bridges, etc., shall be photographed.

d. Any debris, mounds, trash piles, stressed vegetation or similar features or deposits that-may indicate old dump sites shall be inspected. Other areas that demand careful examination are sinkholes, ravines, rights-of-way, edges of fields and watercourses.

e. Organic vapor analyses of any conditions that would warrant this type of testing where there appears to be the presence of potentially hazardous materials should be performed.

Reporting Requirements

Written reports shall be prepared which contains a summary of the assessment/documentation. The reports shall be submitted no later than the date specified in the Task Assignment Notification form. One (1) certified copy of the Environmental Site Assessment Report shall be provided to the landowner and five (5) certified copies shall be delivered to DSL.

Habitat acreages will be computed and provided either on the map or on a separate table that is included in the report. Habitat types will be recorded in the report text according to their dominant species by stratum (overstory, midstory, groundcover) and the quality of the habitat. Unique features found, such as springs, caves, sinkholes, artesian wells, rookeries, eagle nests, etc., will be noted and mapped on aerial photographs or referenced to the natural communities map. A description of the general condition and health of waterways, wetlands, and natural communities will be included. The habitat map and description will also include a summary of the type, location and aerial extent of nuisance or exotic plant species. The map should also indicate any agricultural, wetland, upland or other areas specifically referenced in the baseline documentation/environmental site assessment report. (Baseline)

3. A map and/or aerial photograph marked with any items or locales of concern, numbered and described. The degree of concern regarding hazardous materials at these locations should be addressed. (ESA)

4. A map and/or aerial photograph marked with the locations of any man-made improvements such as residences, farm buildings, storage tanks, signs, dikes/dams, canals/ditches, roads, bridges, etc., and marked with the locations of any historical or archaeological sites known or suspected. (Baseline)

5. Color photographs of the current site conditions oriented to specific locations on the Property. All trash sites on or impacting the Property shall be photographed, with enough photographs to document the overall condition of the Property. (ESA, Baseline)

No payment will be made for unsatisfactory deliverables. In the event that a deliverable is deemed unsatisfactory by the Department, Contractor shall re-perform the services needed for submittal of a satisfactory deliverable, at no additional cost to the Department, within thirty (30) days of being notified of the unsatisfactory deliverable. If a satisfactory deliverable is not submitted within the specified timeframe, the Department may, in its sole discretion, either: 1) terminate the Contract for failure to perform, or 2) DEP Contract Manager may, by letter specifying the failure of performance under the Contract, request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP) be submitted by Contractor to the Department. All CAPs must be able to be implemented and performed in no more than sixty (60) days.

A. A CAP shall be submitted within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the letter request from the Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department Contract Manager for review and approval. Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of a CAP, the Department shall notify the Contractor in writing whether the CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, Contractor shall have ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed CAP. Failure to obtain Department approval of a CAP as specified above shall result in the Department's termination of the Contract for cause as authorized in the Contract.

B. Upon Department's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, Contractor shall have ten (10) calendar days to commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by Department does

DEP Contract No. , Attachment C, Page 4 of 14 not relieve the Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract. In the event the CAP fails to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Contractor, the Department shall retain the right to require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate the contract for failure to perform. No actions approved by Department or steps taken by Contractor shall estop the Department from subsequently asserting any deficiencies in performance. Contractor shall continue to implement the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to the Department as requested by the Department Contract Manager.

C. Failure to respond to a Department request for a CAP or failure to correct a deficiency in the performance of the Contract as specified by the Department may result in termination of the Contract.

The remedies set forth above are not exclusive and the Department reserves the right to exercise other remedies in addition to or in lieu of those set forth above, as permitted by the Contract.

BASELINE DOCUMENTATION REPORTS

FOR

LESS THAN FEE SIMPLE LAND ACQUISITIONS

For less-than-fee-simple land acquisitions made on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund ("Board"), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will task the Contractor to perform a baseline documentation study. The results should be provided in a report by the Contractor. The report is to satisfy the DEP DSL requirements regarding documentation of conditions, at the time of acquisition, of properties over which a conservation easement or other less-than-fee-simple real estate interest is acquired (Baseline Documentation Report).

The purpose of the report is to identify natural resources on site, land use activities present at the time of the report, threatened or endangered species present, and describe the property adequately to establish baseline conditions from which future monitoring may occur and management recommendations be made.

Scope of Services

The Contractor shall:

1. Conduct interviews with the landowner and his/her employees or other pertinent individuals who may have knowledge of the on-site presence of listed species, unique features, and historical or archaeological sites.

Obtain any information available on fire history, grazing history and timbering history.

2. Review current and historical aerial photographs of the Property and surrounding area for an evaluation of current use. Include National Wetland Inventory maps for the purpose of conducting community mapping activities.

3. Interpret the aerial photography and soil maps of the site to prepare an initial natural communities map based on the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) Natural Communities Descriptions.
