GeoSearch identified two properties in these databases during their records search. The two properties identified are Oxychem Ingleside Plant and The Chemours Company FC Ingleside Plant. Oxychem Ingleside Plant is located at 4133 HWY 361, Gregory, TX 78359, and is approximately 0.94 miles from the subject property. Oxychem has an elevation of 18 feet, two feet higher than the subject property and is on record with the Industrial and Hazardous Waste Corrective Action Sites (IHWCA). The Chemours Company FC Ingleside Plant is located at 4127 HWY 361, Ingleside, TX 78362, and is approximately 0.94 miles away from the subject property. The Chemours Company has an elevation of 18 feet, two feet higher than the subject property and is on record with the Industrial and Hazardous Waste Corrective Action Sites (IHWCA) and the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act - Corrective Action Facilities (RCRAC). A Spills Listing (SPILLS) has been recorded but does not have a location listed. It is likely that this occurred within the Oxychem Ingleside Plant or The Chemours Company FC Ingleside Plant. The GeoSearch Radius Map Report and Environmental Records Definitions are provided as Exhibit B.
3.3 Historical Aerial Photographs Readily available historical aerial photographs of the subject property have been provided as Exhibit C. The aerial photograph coverage illustrates how the subject property and surrounding properties have evolved.
3.3.1 Aerial Photograph – 1950 (1” = 1000’) In this aerial photo from 1950, the subject property and surrounding properties appear to be agricultural land. A disturbed area approximately 600 feet southwest of the northeast corner of the subject property seems to be used for residential purposes. Another possible residential area can be seen outside the subject area, approximately 300 feet south of the southeast parcel. A residential or commercial area is present 1000 feet north of the northeast corner of the subject area. Directly east of the subject area appears to be some oil and gas exploration as this area may be associated with a dry hole well that was identified in GeoSearch oil and gas well report.
7
3.3.2 Aerial Photograph – 1961 (1” = 1000’) In this aerial photo from 1961, additional disturbed areas potentially associated with oil and gas exploration can be seen east of the subject property. To the East of the southeast parcel, a path and well pad can be seen. To the east of the southwest parcel, more paths and four well pads can be seen. These locations coincide with GeoSearch records for three plugged oil wells, an oil well, and a plugged oil/gas well. A freshwater wetland and a livestock pond appear approximately 300 feet outside the southeast corner of the northwest parcel. Most surrounding properties are still being used for agriculture and all residential/commercial areas are still present. 3.3.3 Aerial Photograph – 1972 (1” = 1000’) In this aerial photo from 1972, the paths and well pads are still visible with more oil and gas exploration extending further southeast from the subject property. The bodies of water and residential/commercial areas are less visible. Most surrounding properties are still being used for agricultural purposes. 3.3.4 Aerial Photograph – 1984 (1” = 1000’) In this aerial photo from 1984, the northeast parcel of the subject property appears to have an area of disturbed soil when compared to surrounding land. This disturbance may be associated with a dry hole well that was identified in GeoSearch records as being near this area. A freshwater pond has appeared in the southwest parcel of the subject property. Surrounding properties appear similar to the previous photo. 3.3.5 Aerial Photograph – 1996 (1” = 1000’) In this aerial photo from 1996, a house has been built in the southeast parcel of the subject property with a dirt area likely used for livestock in the northeast corner of this parcel. Most oil and gas exploration efforts to the east of the property have ended. A fresh water wetland can be seen approximately 1000 feet east from the south east corner of the northwest parcel. Most Surrounding properties are still being used for agricultural purposes. 3.3.6 Aerial Photograph – 2004 (1” = 1000’) In this aerial photo from 2004, the subject property appears to be similar to the previous photo. A new well pad can be seen approximately 1500 feet south of the southwest parcel. 3.3.7 Aerial Photograph – 2014 (1” = 1000’) In this aerial photo from 2014, the subject property appears to be similar to the previous photo. The freshwater pond in the southwest parcel and the bodies of water outside the subject property has dried up. Most surrounding properties are still being used for agricultural purposes. 3.4 Historical Topographic Maps Historic topographic maps provide information on the topography of the subject property and surrounding properties, and may contain information on oil and gas exploration and waste disposal. No signs of waste disposal on the subject property or surrounding properties are shown on the maps. The maps from 1954, 1971, and 1975 show the pipelines that run through the
8
subject property. The 1923 and 1954 map shows small structures along the eastside of McCampbell road. The historic topographic maps are provided as Exhibit D.
3.5 City Directories City Directory services were requested from GeoSearch for this report and the City Directory Report is provided as Exhibit E. Listings for sites and adjacent properties of the subject property on CR 93 and HWY 35 include: Jim Price JR, Susan Price, Rick Hinojosa, Linda L Basiorka, Debbie Marie Richards, Ronald Benton, Mekk Inc., and The Playho.
3.6 Fire Insurance Maps Historical fire insurance maps were requested from GeoSearch to evaluate the past uses and relevant characteristics of the site and surrounding properties. The subject property is shown as an unmapped property, with no fire insurance maps available for review. The Fire Insurance Map Report is provided as Exhibit F. 3.7 Environmental Liens The Environmental Lien search was performed by GeoSearch; the results are provided as Exhibit G. According to the Environmental Lien search, no environmental liens or activity and usage limitations were found.
3.8 Oil and Gas Exploration GeoSearch records reported that there is one oil and/or gas related well on the subject property and 22 additional oil and/or gas related wells within a one-half mile radius of the subject property. In addition, GeoSearch reported one water well located within one half mile radius of the subject property. This well is located in the Texas Water Development Board Groundwater Database. The well is 0.48 miles north of the subject property and owned by J.S McCampbell. GeoSearch Oil and Gas Report can be found as Exhibit H and GeoSearch’s Water Well Report can be found as Exhibit I. A search of Railroad Commission of Texas’s (RRC) records also reported on oil and/or gas well on the subject property and 22 oil and/or gas wells within a one-half mile radius of the subject property. There is a total of ten pipelines running through or connecting with the property boundary. There is one ethylene pipeline, two natural gas pipelines, one Y grades product pipeline and one brine pipeline running along the western property boundary. Crossing through the southwest corner of the property boundary is one crude oil pipeline. One natural gas line and one nitrogen line pass through the northwestern parcel directionally northwest to southeast. Two crude oil pipelines and one ethane gas pipeline run northwest/southeast through the northeastern corner of the property boundary. A Map of RRC’s oil/gas wells, pipeline map, and pipeline information has been provided as exhibit J.

4.0 Property Reconnaissance
4.1 General A property reconnaissance visit of the subject property was conducted for this Limited Phase I ESA.
4.2 Observations The majority of the subject property is undeveloped and has been used as agricultural land. The southeast parcel is used as residential property, containing a 3,800 square foot house. The northeast parcel is used as a rental property containing rental trailers. Some oil and gas exploration has occurred along the eastern portion of the subject property.
4.3 Interior and Exterior of Home The southeast parcel contains a 3,800 square foot house with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Housekeeping is noted to be fair throughout the building and property. A 13 ½ x 33 ½ foot swimming pool is located on the southeast side of the house.
4.4 Pits, Ponds, and Lagoons Based on recent aerial photography, one freshwater pond appears to be located on the southwest parcel of the subject property.
4.5 Stained Soils Based on recent aerial photography and property reconnaissance, no visible stained soils appear to be located on the majority of the subject property. 4.6 Stressed Vegetation Based on recent aerial photography and property reconnaissance, no signs of stressed vegetation appear to be located on the majority of the subject property. 4.7 Possible Presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Based on recent aerial and street photography, property reconnaissance, and interview with current owner, there are no signs of PCBs on the subject property.
4.8 Solid Waste Disposal Based on recent aerial photography and property reconnaissance, no signs of solid waste disposal were observed in the subject property.
4.9 Identification of Contaminant Migration Paths The topography of the subject property is flat. The approximate elevation of the subject property is 16 feet above sea level. Majority of the surface of the subject property is unpaved. The most
10
likely migration path for contaminants to the subject property would be via airborne path from nearby industrial properties or soil infiltrations originating from neighboring industrial properties or buried pipelines. 4.10 Wastewater Based on recent aerial photography and property reconnaissance, there is a septic tank and associated drain field piping which serves the residence located on the southeast parcel.
4.11 Property Utilities Resident is served by overhead electric, city water, and a private septic system. Subject property does not contain fiber optic lines.
4.12 Other Issues Subject property is located near McCampbell airport, approximately 0.52 miles east of the nearest portion of subject property. Certain building height restrictions or regulations may be required to comply with FAA regulations. 5.0 Interviews Mr. James Price was interviewed on November 8th, 2016. No new information was discovered during this interview. Throughout Mr. Price’s ownership of this property, no leaks or spills have occurred that could potentially contaminate the soil. Mr. Price acquired the first parcel, where the residence is built, in 1991 and acquired the remaining parcels in 2005, 2012, and 2013. 6.0 Conclusion and Recommendations Testengeer, Inc. conducted a Limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on a 183.756-acre site along Texas State Highway (SH) 35 near Gregory, San Patricio County, Texas 78374. The Limited ESA was performed in general conformance with the requirements of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, Designation E1527–13.
Information pertaining to potential environmental liabilities resulting from the treating, storing, disposing, discharging, or emitting of hazardous and/or regulated substances was obtained by Testengeer through GeoSearch. GeoSearch’s search of available government records identified two sites within one mile of the subject property. The two properties identified were Oxychem Ingleside Plant and The Chemours Company FC Ingleside Plant. Oxychem Ingleside Plant is located at 4133 HWY 361, Gregory, TX 78359, and is approximately 0.94 miles from the subject property. Oxychem has an elevation of 18 feet, two feet higher than the subject property and is on record with the Industrial and Hazardous Waste Corrective Action Sites (IHWCA). The Chemours Company FC Ingleside Plant is located at 4127 HWY 361, Ingleside, TX 78362, and is approximately 0.94 miles away from the subject property. The Chemours Company has an elevation of 18 feet, two feet higher than the subject property and is on record with the Industrial and Hazardous Waste Corrective Action Sites (IHWCA) and the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act - Corrective Action Facilities (RCRAC). A Spills Listing (SPILLS) has been
11
recorded but does not have a location listed, it is likely that this occurred within the Ocychem Ingleside Plant or The Chemours Company FC Ingleside Plant.
A search of Railroad Commission of Texas’s (RRC) records also reported an oil and/or gas well on the subject property and 22 oil and/or gas wells within a one-half mile radius of the subject property. Ten underground pipelines are present within the property boundary. There is one propane pipeline, two natural gas pipelines, and one ethylene pipeline running along the western property boundary. Crossing through the southwest corner of the property boundary is one crude oil pipeline. One natural gas line and one nitrogen line pass through the northwestern parcel directionally northwest to southeast. Two crude oil pipelines and one ethane gas pipeline run northwest/southeast through the northeastern corner of the property boundary.
GeoSearch records reported that there is one oil and/or gas related well on the subject property and 22 additional oil and/or gas related wells within a one-half mile radius of the subject property. In addition, GeoSearch reported one water well located within one half mile radius of the subject property. This well is located in the Texas Water Development Board Groundwater Database. The well is 0.48 miles north of the subject property and owned by J.S McCampbell.
Based on recent aerial photography, there does not appear to be any stained soil, stressed vegetation, or waste disposal/collection pits, subject property. One freshwater pond appears to be located on the southwest parcel of the subject property.
Our review of site information revealed the following potential environmental liabilities: 1. Historic oil and gas exploration on the eastern portion of the subject property. 2. Presence of ten oil/gas related pipelines running through, or connecting with the property boundary.
Recommendations:
Due to the potential environmental liabilities described above, a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, including soil vapor screening and soil and groundwater sampling, is recommended.
