No. 1614-10-270 Hunter Industrial Park – Laurens Co., SC August 13, 2010 SUMMARY S&ME, Inc. has performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the approximately 380-acre site located southwest of the intersection of Interstate 385 and U.S. Highway 221 approximately 2 miles north of downtown Laurens in Laurens County, South Carolina. This Phase I ESA was authorized by Ms. Rebecca Murrell with Alliance Consulting Engineers, Inc. (Alliance). The following summary is intended as an overview of the Phase I ESA, and does not include the complete findings and opinions of the full report. The subject site consists of vacant cleared land, cut-over timber land, and timber land. Currently, the site is adjoined by timber land and light industrial facilities within the Hunter Industrial Park. Historically, the site has been used as timber land since at least 1964 to the present. Before this time it was partially cleared and contained at least two residences and several unpaved roads. A site visit was conducted on July 22 and 29, 2010 by S&ME environmental professional, Chris Daves and S&ME Biologist Amanda White. The site visit was conducted in order to evaluate the subject site for drainage patterns, vegetation patterns, stains, discoloration, surrounding land use, and other visual aspects suggestive of the presence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs). On-Site Findings No on-site findings of an environmental nature were identified during the Phase I ESA. Off-Site Findings The review of the public record including the EDR Radius Map Report and other public records identified ten (10) off-site facilities with listings related to hazardous materials
