Hazardous Substances
-
To the extent that PRESENT site uses are identified that use, treat, store, dispose of or generate hazardous substances on the property:
1. The hazardous substances shall be identified or indicated as unidentified in the site reconnaissance
2. The APPROXIMATE quantities, types of containers, and storage conditions shall be described in the site reconnaissance
To the extent that PAST site uses are identified that used, treated, stored, disposed of or generated hazardous substances on the property, the information shall be identified to the extent it is visually and/or physically observed during the site reconnaissance.
Note, the term "hazardous substances" has a distinct regulatory meaning. Certain substances may appear to be "hazardous" when they do not actually fall under regulatory definition. For purposes of site reconnaissance, it is better to document the presence of a substance if it is not immediately apparent whether it is "hazardous" -

Aboveground Storage Tanks
-
An aboveground storage tank is any one or combination of tanks, including pipes, used to contain an accumulation of a hazardous substance or petroleum product at atmospheric pressure, and the volume of which is more than 90% above the ground surface.
This excludes tanks used to store pressurized gases (e.g., propane, nitrogen, oxygen)
A tank in a basement is considered an AST unless 10% or more is below the surface of the ground. -

Equipment Likely to Contain PCBs
-
PCBs belong to a broad family of manufactured organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCBs were domestically manufactured from 1929 until their manufacture was banned in 1979 because of their potential toxicity. Due to their non-flammability, chemical stability, high boiling point and electrical insulating properties, PCBs were used in commercial applications such as electrical, heat transfer, and hydraulic equipment.

A LANDFILL is a place, location, tract of land, or premises used for the disposal of solid wastes as defined by state solid waste management regulations.
CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS is concrete, brick, asphalt and other such building materials discarded in the construction of a building or other improvement.
DEMOLITION DEBRIS is concrete, brick, asphalt, and other such building materials discarded in the demolition of a building or other improvement.
FILL is dirt, soil, sand or other earth that is obtained on- or off-site that is used to fill holes or depressions, create mounds, or otherwise artificially change the grade or elevation of the property. It does not include materials used in limited quantities for normal landscaping activities.
WASTE DISPOSAL may include any of the above and/or placement/abandonment of other materials (such as appliances, tires, furniture, garbage, piping, etc.) on a property -
