This email originated outside of DEP. Please use caution when opening attachments, clicking links, or responding to this email.

Good Morning James:

We’d be happy to work on it (its right around the corner from our office). The cost for the liens will be $900.00.

On a side note, we just submitted on the SJRWMD RFP so hopefully we’ll get some good news within the next month or so and be able to work on their acquisition as well.

Thanks!

Good morning Frank, X3. USER QUESTIONNAIRE

(1) Environmental cleanup liens that are filed or recorded against the site (40 CFR 312.25).

Are you aware of any environmental cleanup liens against the property that are filed or recorded under federal, tribal, state or local law? No, DSL looks to the ESA consultant to provide us with this information.

(2) Activity and land use limitations that are in place on the site or that have been filed or recorded in a registry

(40 CFR 312.26).

Are you aware of any AULs, such as engineering controls, land use restrictions or institutional controls that are in place at the site and/or have been filed or recorded in a registry under federal, tribal, state or local law? No, DSL looks to the ESA consultant to provide us with this information.

(3) Specialized knowledge or experience of the person seeking to qualify for the LLP (40 CFR 312.28).

As the user of this ESA do you have any specialized knowledge or experience related to the property or nearby properties? For example, are you involved in the same line of business as the current or former occupants of the property or an adjoining property so that you would have specialized knowledge of the chemicals and processes used by this type of business? No.

(4) Relationship of the purchase price to the fair market value of the property if it were not contaminated (40

CFR 312.29).

Does the purchase price being paid for this property reasonably reflect the fair market value of the property? If you conclude that there is a difference, have you considered whether the lower purchase price is because contamination is known or believed to be present at the property? NA

(5) Commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the property (40 CFR 312.30).

Are you aware of commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the property that would help the environmental professional to identify conditions indicative of releases or threatened releases? For example, as user,

(a) Do you know the past uses of the property? No, DSL looks to the ESA consultant to determine past uses of the property.

(b) Do you know of specific chemicals that are present or once were present at the property? No, the ESA consultant will find out through their research of the property, interviews, etc.

(c) Do you know of spills or other chemical releases that have taken place at the property? No, the

ESA consultant will find out through their research of the property, interviews, etc.

(d) Do you know of any environmental cleanups that have taken place at the property? No, the ESA consultant will determine this through their research and regulatory record review of the property.

(6) The degree of obviousness of the presence of likely presence of contamination at the property, and the ability to detect the contamination by appropriate investigation (40 CFR 312.31).

As the user of this ESA, based on your knowledge and experience related to the property are there any obvious indicators that point to the presence or likely presence of contamination at the property? No.

RE:

Project: Cedar Swamp Property Owner: Hodges Property Task Assignment No.: PL516.005

Got a project over your way in Duval County if Aerostar is interested? This is a current DEP conservation easement that DSL is exercising our first right of refusal on an acquiring as fee simple. DSL is acquiring the northern portion of the overall easement, while SJRWMD is taking title to the southern half. We need an ESA conducted on the northern portion per the attached survey. Unfortunately, I don’t really have any good maps or shapefiles to provide other than the survey and the attached parcels number. Since the parcel consists of 1,487 acres and 11 parcels, I will need the cost of performing an additional 10 AUL/lien searches to include with your contract rate. Let me know availability and I’ll start drafting up the task.
