1、Designation: D 6008 96 (Reapproved 2005)Standard Practice forConducting Environmental Baseline Surveys1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6008; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last rev

2、ision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 PurposeThe purpose of this practice is to define goodcommercial and customary practice in the United States forconducting an

3、environmental baseline survey (EBS) in order todetermine certain elements of the environmental condition offederal real property, including excess and surplus property atclosing and realigning military installations. This effort isconducted to fulfill certain requirements of the ComprehensiveEnviron

4、mental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of1980 (CERCLA) section 120(h), as amended by the Commu-nity Environmental Response Facilitation Act of 1992(CERFA). As such, this practice is intended to help a user togather and analyze data and information in order to classifyproperty into seven env

5、ironmental condition of property areatypes (in accordance with the Standard Classification ofEnvironmental Condition of Property Area Types). Once docu-mented, the EBS is used to support Findings of Suitability toTransfer (FOSTs), Findings of Suitability to Lease (FOSLs), oruncontaminated property d

6、eterminations, or a combinationthereof, pursuant to the requirements of CERFA. Users of thispractice should note that it does not address (except whereexplicitly noted) requirements for appropriate and timelyregulatory consultation or concurrence, or both, during theconduct of the EBS or during the

7、identification and use of thestandard environmental condition of property area types.1.1.1 Environmental Baseline SurveyIn accordance withthe Department of Defense (DoD) policy, an EBS will beprepared or evaluated for its usefulness (and updated ifnecessary) for any property to be transferred by dee

8、d or leased.The EBS will be based on existing environmental informationrelated to storage, release, treatment, or disposal of hazardoussubstances or petroleum products on the property to determineor discover the obviousness of the presence or likely presenceof a release or threatened release of any

9、hazardous substance orpetroleum product. In certain cases, additional data, includingsampling, if appropriate under the circumstances, may beneeded in the EBS to support the FOST or FOSL. A previouslyconducted EBS may be updated as necessary and used formaking a FOST or FOSL. An EBS also may help to

10、 satisfyother environmental requirements (for example, to satisfy therequirements of CERFA or to facilitate the preparation ofenvironmental condition reports). In addition, the EBS pro-vides a useful reference document and assists in compliancewith hazard abatement policies related to asbestos and l

11、ead-based paint. The EBS process consists of discrete steps. Thispractice principally addresses EBS-related information gather-ing and analysis.1.1.2 CERCLA Section 120(h) RequirementsThis practiceis intended to assist with the identification of installation areassubject to the notification and cove

12、nant requirements of CER-CLA 120(h) relating to the deed transfer of contaminatedFederal real property (42 USC 9601 et seq.).1.1.3 CERFA RequirementsThis practice can be used toprovide information that can be used to partially fulfill theidentification requirements of CERFA Pub. L. 102-426, 106Stat.

13、 2174, which amended CERCLA. Property classified asarea Type 1, in accordance with Classification D 5746 iseligible for reporting as “uncontaminated” under the provisionsof CERFA. Additionally, certain property classified as areaType 2, where evidence indicates that storage occurred for lessthan one

14、 year, may also be identified as uncontaminated. Atinstallations listed on the National Priorities List, Environmen-tal Protection Agency (EPA) concurrence must be obtained forthe property to be considered “uncontaminated” and thereforetransferable under CERCLA 120(h)(4). The EPA has statedthat ther

15、e may be instances in which it would be appropriate toconcur with the DoD Component that certain property can beidentified as uncontaminated under CERCLA 120(h)(4)although some limited quantity of hazardous substances orpetroleum products have been stored, released, or disposed ofon the property. If

16、 the information available indicates that thestorage, release, or disposal was associated with activities thatwould not be expected to pose a threat to human health or theenvironment (for example, housing areas, petroleum-stainedpavement areas, and areas having undergone routine applica-tion of pest

17、icides), such property should be eligible forexpeditious reuse.1.1.4 Petroleum ProductsPetroleum products and theirderivatives are included within the scope of this practice.Areason which petroleum products or their derivatives were stored1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E5

20、s practice does not address requirements of anyfederal, state, or local laws other than the applicable provisionsof CERCLA identified in 1.1.2 and 1.1.3. Users are cautionedthat federal, state, and local laws may impose additional EBSor other environmental assessment obligations that are beyondthe s

21、cope of this practice. Users should also be aware that thereare likely to be other legal obligations with regard to hazardoussubstances or petroleum products discovered on property thatare not addressed in this practice and that may pose risks ofcivil or criminal sanctions, or both, for noncomplianc

22、e.1.1.6 Other Federal, State, and Local Real Property andNatural and Cultural Resources LawsThis practice does notaddress requirements of any federal, state or local real propertyor natural and cultural resources laws. Users are cautioned thatnumerous federal, state, and local laws may impose additi

23、onalenvironmental and other legal requirements that must besatisfied prior to deed transfer of property that are beyond thescope of this practice.1.2 ObjectivesObjectives guiding the development of thispractice are (1) to synthesize and put in writing a standardpractice for conducting a high quality

24、 EBS, (2) to facilitate thedevelopment of high quality, standardized environmental con-dition of property maps to be included in an EBS that can beused to support FOSTs, FOSLs, and other applicable environ-mental condition reports, (3) to facilitate the use of the standardclassification of environme

25、ntal condition of property areatypes, and ( 4) to facilitate the development of a standard guidefor preparing and updating EBS reports.1.3 Limitations Users of this practice should note that,while many of the elements of an EBS are performed in amanner consistent with other “due diligence” functions

26、, anEBS is not prepared to satisfy a purchaser of real propertysduty to conduct an “appropriate inquiry” in order to establishan “innocent landowner defense” to CERCLA 107 liability.Any such use of any EBS by any party is outside the control ofthe United States Department of Defense and its componen

27、tsand beyond the scope of any EBS. No warranties or represen-tations are made by the United States Department of Defense,its components, its officers, employees, or contractors that anyEBS Report satisfies any such requirement for any party.1.4 Organization of This PracticeThis practice has 15sectio
