Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Services Exhibit G

REQUIREMENTS FOR PERFORMING THE PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT

(PHASE I ESA)

The Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the Subject Property to be acquired by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida (Board of Trustees) must meet the requirements of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of State Lands (DSL), Bureau of Real Estate Services (BRES). For purposes of performing the ESA, 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. The term “environmental law” shall mean any and all applicable federal, state, tribal or local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations or other governmental restrictions regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning hazardous materials. 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; Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process

The required components and scope of the ESA beyond the above are as follows:

1. Requests for deviation from the requirements as set forth must be approved in writing by the DSL prior to the issuance of a Task Assignment (TA).

2. Certify the ESA to the Board of Trustees and any other parties requested by DSL. If the report is not certified to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida and other requested parties, the product will not be accepted. The certification shall state the following: (a) the date the TA was signed by the Contractor (also insert a copy of the signed TA in the report following the certification page); (b) the date the Contractor began the work on the ESA; (c) the ESA meets the requirements of the Department of Environmental Protection, Division of State Lands, the current ASTM E 1527 standard (https://www.astm.org), and therefore the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s All Appropriate Inquiry Rule https://www.epa.gov/brownfields/brownfields-all-appropriate-inquiries; (d) the accuracy, correctness and completeness of the ESA 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 ESA.

3. Determine if prior ESA’s have been done or any other environmental work and, if so, what it disclosed. Include all found information in the report as an Appendix for the independent review.

4. Contractor agrees to notify the Department DSL immediately if any substantial problems are discovered at any point during the Phase I ESA that impact the Subject Property.

5. Determine the potential existence of federal, state, tribal, and local environmental cleanup liens and Activity and Use Limitations (AUL) of enforcement actions against the Property. The DSL contracts with the Contractor to fulfill these obligations on behalf of the user(s)/DSL. Identify adjoining property landowners.

6. Interview the applicable adjoining neighbors if it is determined by the Contractor that an adjoining landowner is involved in an industrial use (an activity requiring the application of labor and capital for the production or distribution of a product or article, including, without limitation, manufacturing, processing, extraction, refining, warehousing, transportation, and utilities of hazardous substances or petroleum products), or if the adjoining site shows current or historical issues in the regulatory database search. Applicable sites would include gas stations; motor repair facilities; commercial printing facilities; dry cleaners; photo developing laboratories; junkyards or landfills; or waste treatment, storage, disposal, processing or recycling facilities. Interviewing residential neighbors is not necessary unless the Contractor has cause for concern.

7. Review and provide a summary of current and historical aerial photographs of the Property and surrounding area for an evaluation of prior and current use. Copies of the photography shall be placed in an appendix within the environmental site assessment for independent review.

8. Provide color photographs of the current site conditions in the ESA. All structures, wells, access roads and trail paths leading or impacting the Subject Property, areas and items of concern (including trash sites, borrow pits, stressed vegetation and stained soil), business environmental risks, historical recognized environmental conditions, and recognized environmental conditions on the Property or impacting the Property shall be photographed. Photographs should provide good representation of the site’s entire condition. If access is available inside of each structure(s), photographs should provide a good representation of the interior of the structure(s).

a. Include a table that lists the corresponding Longitude and Latitude of each photograph, and an

Arc Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile in the ESA report for all indicated areas.

b. List manufacturer and model number of the GPS unit or mobile application (including version) used to collect data.

9. Orient all photograph points on a site map.

10. Provide an estimate of the depth to groundwater and direction of groundwater flow.

11. List all data failures, as defined in the current ASTM E 1527 standard, and explain why they exist.

12. The Environmental Assessment Report shall contain a discussion and evaluation of the relevance of all the components listed above and other findings of the ESA, along with definite conclusions and specific recommendations for further work the Contractor deems necessary as pertinent to the Subject Property.

13. As requested, provide hard copies of the reports on double-sided pages.

14. Include a Table of Contents in the ESA report.

15. Provide corresponding page numbers to the Contractor’s Itemized Checklist (see Exhibit H), attached to the TA, and include a completed copy of the checklist in the ESA.

16. Clearly label appendices in the report.

Good afternoon everyone, The Department is considering an option agreement to acquire approximately 21,624 acres of conservation land in Levy County. The property is owned by Rayonier Forest Resources, L.P. and is part of the Waccasassa Watershed Florida Forever project. Please see the attached map, parcel ID list, KML, and boundary shapefiles.

As the size of this property falls well outside the typical acreage ranges provided in the contract rate schedule, we are seeking quotes from interested DSL contractors to provide an ASTM E2247 Phase I ESA. Please keep in mind this is a lump sum task, and your quote shall be all inclusive to include all activities, equipment, and commodities necessary to accomplish the task (including travel). Required items such as additional lien/AUL searches (property consists of 50 separate parcels), regulatory records searches, and historical records should be included in your cost. Hard copies of the ESA will not be required for submittal to DSL, electronic submittal will suffice. Turn-around time after a task assignment is issued will be around the 50-day mark.

Please email me your quotes no later than COB Monday, May 5th. If you need additional information or have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to your responses.

Sincerely, James

James Parker Government Operations Consultant III Office of Environmental Services, Division of State Lands Florida Department of Environmental Protection 3800 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 140 Tallahassee, FL 32399-3000 850-245-3045 (Office) 850-245-2572 (Fax)
