Phase I Combination Baseline Documentation/Environmental Site Assessment Services Exhibit G
REQUIREMENTS FOR PERFORMING 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 of Trustees), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will solicit and select contractor(s) to perform a combined Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment and Baseline Documentation Study. The results should be provided in two (2) separate reports by the selected 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 selected contractor shall:
1. Provide certification of the environmental assessment/documentation report to the Board of Trustees and any parties requested by DSL. If the report is not certified to the Board of Trustees 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 of Trustees is entitled to rely on the information set forth in the environmental assessment/documentation report.
2. 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 Division of State Lands contracts with the Contractor to fulfill these obligations on behalf of the user(s)/DSL.
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.
4. Determine the past and present uses of the Property.
Contract No. PL522 47 of 62
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. 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 CIRCLIS list; Federal RCRA TSD 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 CERCLIS list – 0.5 mile
c. Federal RCRA TSD facilities list – 1.0 mile
d. Federal RCRA generators list – property and adjoining properties

9. 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 a good representation of the sites 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 unitor mobile application (including version) used to collect data.
10. Orient all photograph points on a site map.
11. Provide an estimate of the depth to groundwater and direction of groundwater flow.
12. List all data failures, as defined in the current ASTM E 2247 standard, and explain why they exist.
13. 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.
14. As requested, provide any required hard copies of the reports on double-sided pages.
15. Include a Table of Contents in the ESA report.

Frank, Unfortunately, this project has not closed yet due to issues outside the ESA/BDR portion of the closing process. Will you put together a cost estimate to complete an updated combo ESA/BDR? Attached is the updated survey. It appears most of the changes are in the SE portion of the property. I’ll reach out to BSM regarding new shapefiles. Let me know if you need anything else.
