For purposes of performing the environmental site assessment, the term "hazardous materials" shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste of any kind or any other substance which is designated pursuant to and/or regulated by any environmental law.

In addition, the Contractor must comply with the most current American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 1527 standard. If the DSL standards and ASTM requirements for Phase I ESAs conflict, then the Contractor must perform to the more stringent of the requirements. Specifically, the Contractor must adhere to the current scope and limitations of ASTM Designation: E 1527-05;

Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process.

The certification shall state the following: (a) the date the Task Assignment was signed by the Contractor (also insert a copy of the signed Task Assignment in the report following the certification page); (b) the date the Contractor began the work on the ESA; (c) the environmental site assessment meets the requirements of the Department of Environmental Protection, Division of State Lands, the current ASTM E 1527 standard, and therefore the federal Environmental Protection Agency's All Appropriate Inquiry Rule; (d) the accuracy, correctness and completeness of the environmental site assessment is provided with the knowledge of the ASTM; and (e) the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida is entitled to rely on the information set forth in the environmental site assessment.

a. Include the corresponding Longitude and Latitude of each photograph, and an ArcGIS shapefile which also includes the latitudes and longitudes in the attribute table, in the ESA report for all indicated areas.

b. List manufacturer and model number of the GPS Unit used to collect data (i.e., Garmin GPS map 76).

10. Orient all photograph points on a site map to scale or current aerial photograph.
