Corporation 1108 Industry Drive Seattle, Washington 98188 Prepared By: SRH Environmental Management 12245 NE Whitaker Way Portland, Oregon 97230 (503) 252 -8316 SRH PN: 1 -2360 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SRH Environmental Management performed a Level 1 Environmental Site Assessment of the property located at 15425 53rd Avenue South in Tukwila, Washington. The field inspection, completed on June 22, 1990, consisted of a walk- through inspection of the interior and exterior areas of the property and a magnetometer scan of exterior areas to identify evidence of the presence of buried metal debris. A review of pertinent readily available records of local, state, and federal agencies, historical reviews, interviews, and a review of aerial photographs of the subject property were also conducted. The interior of the building is now and formerly has been used as tenant - leased office space. Aerial photo review, interviews, and other related records searches did not produce evidence of any chemical misuse, unlawful dumping or landfilling, or other sources of contamination to the subject property. The environmental records review indicated that there are no sites listed on state or federal inventories of known or suspected contaminated properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. No evidence of spills or other releases of hazardous materials was observed, and no visual or olfactory indications of contamination were noted. No evidence of underground tanks, drums, or other large buried metallic debris was identified by the magnetometer survey. A preliminary asbestos assessment was also conducted to identify exposed potentially friable asbestos- containing building materials. No exposed friable asbestos - containing material was observed. The results of this investigation represent a review of current conditions. The subject property appeared to be well maintained and in good condition. Based on this investigation, the overall risk of environmental contamination at the subject site is considered to be low. No further environmental investigation or remediation is recommended at this time. INTRODUCTION A Level 1 Environmental Site Assessment is intended to determine whether there is a potential for significant environmental contamination based on readily available information about the site and a walk- through inspection. If this potential does exist, the Level 1 report indicates what additional activity is necessary to confirm evidence of significant environmental contamination. This report presents the results of a Level 1 Environmental Site Assessment of the property located at 15425 53rd Avenue South in Tukwila, Washington. SRH Environmental Management was retained by NDT Engineering Corporation to perform the assessment in order to determine if a potential for significant contamination exists for the subject property. This assessment consisted of a visual and olfactory inspection of the site, interviews, a historical review, and a review of the pertinent records of local, state, and federal agencies. A magnetometer survey of the subject property was also conducted to locate evidence of buried metallic items indicative of underground metal tanks or buried drums. A copy of the complete Scope of Services agreement for this investigation is presented in Appendix A. The results of the investigations are described below. FACILITY DESCRIPTION The subject property is rectangular in shape and covers approximately one -half acre. The subject property is located on the south side of South Center Boulevard, just west of South 53rd Avenue in Tukwila, Washington. The subject property includes a single L- shaped building, located on the western portion of the property. The building covers approximately 45 percent of the property, with the remaining property being asphalt parking area. The building was reportedly constructed in 1980/1981. The eastern portion of the building, currently occupied by Grid Computer Systems, is used as office /showroom space. Remaining building space is vacant. Figure 1 shows the location of the site. Figure 2 is a site map of the subject property.

A historical review of the subject property is conducted in order to ascertain whether evidence exists that prior usage may have contributed a potential risk for environmental contamination. The review includes examination of readily available aerial photographs taken over a period of years, ownership records, and building and utility permits, when available. Interviews with neighbors, present and former tenants, and owners are conducted, whenever possible, to obtain undocumented data. Review. Aerial photographs for the years 1936, 1946, 1960, 1969, 1974, 1985, and 1989 were reviewed. o The 1939 photograph showed the property as undeveloped vacant land. Surrounding properties appeared to be undeveloped or of agricultural land usage. o The 1946 photograph showed one structure, which appears to be a house, located on the southwestern portion of the property. Surrounding properties appeared to still be undeveloped or of agricultural land usage. o The 1960 photograph revealed no significant changes to the subject property. o The 1969 photograph revealed no significant changes to the subject property. Surrounding properties appear to be of residential land usage. Interstate Highway 5 is present east of the subject property. o The 1974 photograph revealed no significant changes to the subject property. o The 1985 photograph revealed the structure currently located on the western portion of the subject property; asphalt parking area covered the eastern portion. The house previously identified in the aerial photograph review was either demolished or removed from the subject property. Surrounding properties appear to be primarily of commercial land usage or under construction. o The 1989 photograph revealed the subject property as it appears today. No significant changes to the subject property were observed. No areas of obvious potential environmental contamination were observed during the aerial photograph review. The City of Tukwila Building Department has record of one building permit for construction of a warehouse. This permit was issued in 1979 to property owner, Mr. Aiton Lenhart. No plumbing permits issued to the property addresses were found during the permit review. No records prior to 1979 were found. 3 Mr. Pat Brodin, Senior Utility Engineer of the City of Tukwila Public Works Department, reported that the subject property was connected to the city sewer system on July 6, 1979. No sewer permits issued to the subject property prior to 1979 were found. Such records are not kept prior to 1975. Ownership records for the subject property were reviewed for the years 1904 to 1990. Property transfers have generally been between private citizens, with only the following two transactions involving apparent commercial entities: o 1980, Ownership of the subject property was transferred to Q estar Development Corporation; o 1981, Ownership of the subject property was transferred to CCI Real Estate Equity Fund. None of the previous property owners identified in this research were owners who, based upon the name listed in the title record and our experience, would be expected to have conducted activities with a significant potential for causing environmental contamination. Ms. Yvonne Stansberry, associate with Capitol Consultants Inc. (CCI is the current owner of the subject property), was interviewed. Ms. Stansberry stated that the building is leased as office and retail space. To her knowledge, former tenants have included businesses similar to the one currently located on the property, with no large amounts of chemicals typically having been stored, used, or disposed of on the site. Ms. Stansberry has been associated with the subject property since 1985. PROPERTY INSPECTION General Description of Property Purpose and Scope. Specific observations of topography, vegetation, and proximity to thoroughfares and waterways are noted. Surface features such as marshes, swales, and heavy vegetation can serve as concealment areas for improper disposal and storage of waste materials. Railroad tracks, roads, and waterways may provide access to the subject property and opportunity for activities such as improper disposal or storage of materials that could contribute to environmental contamination of the property. Waterways can also serve as carriers of contaminants from extraneous sources to the subject site. Evidence of ground surface disturbances such as irregular depressions or lack of vegetative cover may indicate the presence of buried items or filled areas of the property. Observations. SRH performed the site inspection on June 22, 1990. Weather conditions during the inspection consisted of clear skies. The temperature was approximately 72° Fahrenheit. The topography of the subject property was gently sloping downward from 4 north to south across the site. Surface water drainage generally follows this pattern. No topographical features that would likely contribute to environmental contamination of the property were observed during the inspection. Adjacent Properties Purpose and Scope. The condition of adjacent properties may pose a significant potential for environmental contamination on the subject property. Lateral migration of surface or subsurface contaminants from adjoining properties may cause environmental contamination to the subject property. The general condition of adjacent properties, as observable from the public right -of -way and the subject property, is noted. Any activities conducive to creating an adverse environmental impact to the subject property are recorded. Observations of features such as large areas of stained soil, areas of stressed or dead vegetation, and apparent chemical or waste storage areas are made. The review of adjacent properties is a limited visual review and should not be interpreted as a comprehensive site evaluation. Observation. The subject property is situated within an area of commercial land usage. South Center Boulevard forms the northern boundary of the subject property. Puget Sound Mortgage Servicing is located north of South Center Boulevard. A New Beginning, and Dictaphone are located south of the property. The Rainbow Valley School and the Business Computer Training Institute are located west of the subject property. South 53rd Avenue and the Ultra Boutique are located east of the subject property. Exterior Storage Areas Purpose and Scope. There can be a potential for contamination associated with storage areas due to the activities characteristic of such areas. The presence of existing facilities or evidence of former storage locations can provide insight to past and present activities on the property that could pose a potential for significant environmental contamination. Storage areas and locations suggestive of storage areas, such as concrete or asphalt pads, covered or fenced areas, pits, ponds, or lagoons, are examined for visual and olfactory evidence of chemical releases. The specific characteristics of these storage areas are noted. Observations. No exterior chemical storage areas or evidence of chemical storage areas were observed. 5 Exterior Waste Disposal Areas Purpose and Scope. Improper usage of waste disposal areas represents a potential for significant environmental contamination and would likely require additional investigation. Designated areas of waste disposal, such as garbage cans or dumpsters, are examined since these can be sites of improper waste deposition. Areas of stained or off -color soil surfaces, stressed vegetation, discarded empty containers, and burned residue may also be indicative of waste disposal. Additionally, remote or obscured areas conducive to dumping are inspected. Observations. Several trash dumpsters were located on the subject property. Inspection of this disposal area showed contents typical of office disposal, consisting of paper and plastic debris. No other disposal areas were observed. Off- Property Sources of Surface Contamination Purpose and Scope. Surface water runon areas, drainage ditches, streams, outfalls, storage areas on adjacent properties, air emission fallout sources, and railroad tracks are among items serving as potential sources and /or migration pathways for environmental contaminants of the ground surface. If evidence of a potential source of surface contamination is identified, a more detailed investigation of this migration pathway may be recommended. Observations. No off - property sources of surface contamination of the subject property were observed during the field inspection. Exterior Subsurface Structures Purpose and Scope. The presence of subsurface structures which collect or contain liquid and sediment may represent a source of potential environmental contamination. These sources are evaluated to determine if their presence creates a potential for significant environmental contamination. Noted are evidence of underground voids or vaults, aboveground structures indicating subsurface activity, drains, sumps, clarifiers, wells, pits, ponds, and lagoons. The presence of USTs and their significance for potential as sources of environmental contamination is discussed in the Underground Storage Tank section. Observations. Several parking area storm drain basins were observed. Each of the drains contained a clear liquid which appeared to be water, with a discontinuous oily surface sheen typical of parking lot runoff waters. 6 Magnetometer Survey Purpose and Scope. A magnetometer is an instrument that can detect the presence of buried ferromagnetic items such as steel underground storage tanks, metal drums, and other metal containers. A portable hand -held magnetometer is used to scan accessible portions of the exterior property. The magnetometer is set to a sensitivity which should typically allow detection of drum -sized objects at a depth of up to 5 -10 feet. Positive magnetometer readings indicative of large buried metallic objects may represent past disposal or landfill areas. Therefore, the existence of unidentified buried items indicates the potential for environmental contamination of the site. If a positive reading is noted from an unidentified source, additional investigation may be necessary to determine the source. Observations. The perimeter of the property and portions of the asphalt parking area were traversed on a grid of approximately five feet. Access to some areas was limited due to parked automobiles, which caused interference readings for the magnetometer. No readings of the size, shape, strength, or uniformity typical of underground storage tanks or buried drums were recorded during the magnetometer survey. Underground Storage Tanks Purpose and Scope. Underground storage tanks (USTs) are recognized as a major potential source of environmental contamination. Contamination of soils and /or groundwater may occur as a result of spills, overfills, or releases from the tank system. Such contamination would require cleanup, with the cleanup costs potentially being the responsibility of the property owner. Underground storage tank systems typically have one vent pipe and one fill pipe associated with each UST. These are usually visible in the vicinity of the UST and serve as one of the indicators that a UST is present. Other structures indicative of USTs are product dispensers or pumps and concrete pads. Observations. No reports or other evidence which would indicate the presence of USTs were discovered in the investigation of the subject property. Transformers Purpose and Scope. The presence of electrical transformers on or adjacent to the property is noted to determine the potential for environmental contamination by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). If transformers are on -site, or within 100 feet of the subject site, the accessible areas around the transformers and their exteriors are inspected. Identifying marks are recorded and the owner contacted to determine if the transformers' dielectric fluid contains PCBs. 7 Observations. Electrical services are provided by Seattle City Light (SCL) who owns, operates, and maintains the electrical transformers located within 100 feet of the subject property. Mr. John Hickman, Transformer Engineer for SCL, indicated that SCL has never purchased any transformers containing PCBs in the dielectric fluid. BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES General Description Purpose and Scope. A general description of buildings and structures on the property is given. The location, size, and apparent usage is discussed. Observations on the general condition of the building as related to potential environmental contamination, such as staining and cracks, are made. Construction features, such as ceiling and floor surfaces and lighting fixtures, are noted. Features and anomalies which may contribute to environmental contamination are noted. Observations. One approximately 10,000- square -foot, one -story office building is located on the subject property. The building appeared to be in generally good condition. Several sections within the building appear to have been recently remodeled. Floor covering throughout the building was carpet, with the exception of linoleum observed in the rest room and hallway. The lighting throughout the building was generally fluorescent. Fluorescent light fixtures have ballasts which may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) generally prohibited the domestic manufacture of PCBs after 1979. Light fixtures manufactured prior to that date may contain PCBs. Current PCB regulations do not require the removal of non - leaking ballasts /capacitors. EPA does, however, recommend that ballasts in older light fixtures be removed and disposed of as part of a regular maintenance program. Current EPA established policy is, that anyone disposing of more than four small capacitors per year must send them to a permitted chemical waste landfill or approved high temperature incinerator. Fluorescent light fixtures in good repair which contain PCBs do not ordinarily represent a significant environmental hazard. However, any leakage of fluid from such fixtures should be treated with extreme caution and should be cleaned up by qualified personnel. Based on the construction date of 1980/1981, it is unlikely that fluorescent light fixtures at this site contain PCBs. Individual fixtures were not inspected in this survey, and it is not considered necessary at this time. Interior Storage Areas Purpose and Scope. Floors of storage areas are examined for staining or rust rings which may indicate signs of former activities that could present a potential for 8 contamination. Containers of chemicals are examined for content and usage. Trash or rubbish accumulation is noted. Observations. Relatively small quantities of cleaning supplies used for common janitorial purposes were observed in the space occupied by Grid Computer Systems. All chemicals appeared to be stored in a proper manner. No evidence of improper usage or disposal was observed. When used, stored, and disposed of in the manner for which they are intended, small quantities of chemicals such as those observed on the subject site do not ordinarily represent a significant environmental contamination risk. Interior Waste Disposal Areas Purpose and Scope. Designated waste disposal areas and areas conducive to waste disposal are examined for stained surfaces, discarded empty containers, and indications of improper disposal. Rest rooms, drains, exterior doors, and secluded closets are among the areas examined. Observations. Interior waste disposal areas were limited to those typical of office usage. No evidence of improper disposal of large quantities of chemicals was observed. Former chemical disposal practices, if any, at the subject property are unknown. During the walk- through inspection of the subject property, no evidence was found to suggest improper past handling and /or disposal practices. Interior Discharges Purpose and Scope. Examples of interior discharge areas are drainage areas, pipe discharges, and air emission generators. Areas with evidence of potential surface contamination are noted. Observations. No potential sources of surface contamination were observed within the subject site's structures. Interior Subsurface Structures Purpose and Scope. Examples of potential indoor sources of subsurface contamination are similar to those discussed related to exterior areas and include underground voids or vaults, aboveground structures indicating subsurface activity, drains, sumps, clarifiers, wells, etc. Evidence of potential subsurface contamination sources is discussed. Observations. Potential migration pathways for contaminants to the subsurface environment observed in the interior of the building were limited to plumbing drainage systems typical of office structures. No interior floor drains were observed. No evidence of improper disposal of large amounts of chemicals was observed. 9 Asbestos Purpose and Scope. Construction completed prior to 1980 may include materials which contain friable asbestos. Friable is defined as material which may easily be crumbled or pulverized by hand pressure, thus releasing potential airborne asbestos fibers. The asbestos material is sometimes concealed in areas which can only be inspected by structural disassembly or other intrusive means. Actions. A preliminary asbestos assessment was included in this investigation. The asbestos assessment consisted of visual observation of the accessible structural areas and exposed materials which most commonly contain asbestos. No samples were collected, since no exposed, friable materials potentially containing asbestos were observed. A complete asbestos survey was not performed. A suspended ceiling tile system is present throughout the office areas within the building. Based on visual observation, none of the observed tile is suspected to contain asbestos. Floor coverings, including linoleum, vinyl and asphalt tile, sheet vinyl, backing materials, and mastics may contain asbestos. Linoleum floor covering was observed in several rest rooms and hallways within the building. Some floor coverings appear new; all appear in generally good condition. These types of floor coverings are considered non - friable potential asbestos - containing materials. Generally, such flooring materials are not considered friable unless exposed and /or subject to damage. Findings and conclusions are based upon limited access to all areas. Hidden spaces between walls and similar conditions may, at times, harbor asbestos - containing materials. ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS REVIEW Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) records of 1989 list no underground storage tanks under the name of the subject site or for the site address. Lieutenant Cohler, Fire Prevention Specialist for the City of Tukwila Fire Department, stated that the fire department does not keep record of USTs or hazardous material responses. The WDOE Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Site List showed no record of LUSTs adjacent to or for the subject site. Such records were not kept prior to 1989. The US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) National Priority List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites, dated July 13, 1989, indicates no sites located within a one -mile radius of the property. The USEPA Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 10 Information System (CERCLIS) inventory, as of January 9, 1990, of potential hazardous waste sites under investigation reveals no sited located within one -half mile of the subject site. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS SRH performed a Level 1 Environmental Site Assessment of the property located at 15425 53rd Avenue South in Tukwila, Washington. The assessment consisted of a walk - through inspection of the exterior and interior areas of the property on June 22, 1990, and a magnetometer scan of exterior areas to identify evidence of buried metallic objects indicative of underground storage tanks or buried metal drums. Interviews, as well as a search of the pertinent records of local, state, and federal agencies, were conducted. The interior of the building formerly and currently has been used as office tenant - leased space. No manufacturing facilities are known to have been located on the subject property. No evidence of significant environmental contamination of the site was observed during the physical inspection of the site. No physical evidence of underground storage tanks or magnetometric activity indicative of buried tanks or drums was found on the site. Historical reviews did not indicate a potential for significant environmental contamination of the subject site. A review of local, state, and federal agency records did not reveal any reference to potential sources of significant environmental contamination of the subject property. RECOMMENDATIONS A preliminary asbestos assessment was also conducted to identify exposed potentially friable asbestos - containing building materials. No exposed friable asbestos - containing material was observed. The results of this investigation represent a review of current conditions, based on available information, as described above. Based on this investigation, the overall risk of significant environmental contamination at the subject site is considered to be low. No recommendations for further environmental investigation or cleanup of the subject site are made at this time. 11 LIMITATIONS The conclusions presented in this report are professional opinions based on data described in this report.

Detailed Description of Proposed Use: NDT Engineering Corporation is a small company specializing in Research and Development, Assembly, and Sales of Electromagnetic Fatigue Crack Detection Equipment for aircraft structures. The materials used in the assembly of these probes include slender copper and brass tubings, Acetal and Nylon plastics, ferrite cores, wire coils (average size:1 /16 to 1 inch), and a variety of electronic connectors. The coils are inserted into a shell of copper, brass, or plastic, and are wired directly to a connector at the opposite end of the probe. The coil is secured with a small amount of epoxy. The finished probes range in size from 2 to 10 inches in length. The assembly process often requires some light machining using a small lathe and /or milling machine. The finished product is polished using a small high speed buffer. Computerized engravers are used for part marking, and an EDM machine process is used in the fabrication of specialized reference standards. Research and product development is an ongoing activity to meet developing customer requirements and to expand the technology used in this field. All sales of the products are done via telephone and telefax machine rather than on site personal contacts or outside sales. NDT Engineer- ing Corporation's worldwide customer base includes airlines and air- craft manufacturers, aircraft overhaul and maintainance centers, and the U.S. military. The delivery of both raw materials in and finished product out are done via United Parcel Service and other comparable delivery services. { C 10. A. The assembly and fabrication processes used by NDT Engineering Corporation doe not produce unusual amounts of trash and garbage, or release any dangerous chemicals into the environment which could be detrimental to the public or properties in any way. All chemicals used, such as Acetone and epoxy potting compounds and solvents, are used in very small amounts and are consumed in the assembly and fabrication processes, leaving no chemical residues or left -overs to be diguarded in any way, ie: dumping down the drain. B. The performance standards of the district in question include the control of noise, pollution, odor, and vibration to the extent that they will not disturb those around the property being occupied. NDT Engineering Corporation does not produce a high volume of any of these parameters, and will not disturb any neighboring properties or the tenant sharing the same building in any way. C. The surrounding land use around the property is mainly high traffic volume generating retail and commercial office buildings. NDT Engineering Corporation will be generating less traffic and pedstrian circulation for the area due to the fact that it is a small (15 employee) high tech assembler whose personel will arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon with little or no traffic movement in between. All supplies used in production and finished products shipped out are delivered via small delivery vehicles, such as those used by United Parcel Service. D. NDT Engineering Corporation will fit perfectly with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy. NDT will have no effect at all upon the environment, open spaces, the residen- tial population, and /or the transportation and utility concerns of the City of Tukwila. As regards concerns with commerce and industry NDT Engineering Corporation will help diversify the business use in the area by promoting flexibility of land use within an established business park. NDT shall retain the aesthetic benefits and landscapimg of the pre- existing facility, and shall not endanger the environment in any way. Any sign put up shall be professionally made and of reasonable size to merely identify the company. The primary intent of the company is to maintain a professional facility and appearance regarding both the interior of the building and the exterior maintainance of the building and all landscaping. E. NDT Engineering Corporation has taken the time to study how they will impact the area and environment into which they wish to move. NDT shall not be adding pollution, noise, or significant amounts of traffic to the area, and shall continue to monitor these concerns to assure the continued prosperity of both this business park and the City of Tukwila in general.
