6.4 Reporting Requirements for ODOT Produced Reports ODOT produced reports must include a description of the project, the county, route, and section, and the PID. The ESA Screening Checklist form should include information from the aerial photo review, GIS database search, and visual inspection. The attachments should include the ESA Screening Checklist form, mapping, aerial photographs, the GIS database search, project plans if available, and photographs of the project area.

7. PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is typically the next step in the ESA process in determining the presence of hazardous substances within a Minor or Major Project. This occurs in Step 3 for Minor Projects after the Preferred Alternative has been selected. For Major Projects, the Phase I ESA occurs in Step 6 on all feasible alternatives. In general, parcels which require a Phase I ESA have been identified in the ESA Screening. The intent of the Phase I ESA is to determine the potential of encountering hazardous substances or petroleum products from a specific property. For the purpose of Phase I ESA investigations, property is referred to as a “site” prior to land acquisition and/or construction activities. Since a single site can contain multiple parcels of land, the Phase I ESA should cover all parcels within the site and include both the area to be acquired and the outside of the proposed ROW. The Phase I ESA involves researching and reviewing site-specific information in order to determine a list of suspect sites which require a Phase II ESA. In general, the Phase I ESA should not be conducted without having performed an ESA Screening. The ESA Screening deals with all sites within a project area. The Phase I ESA involves only the suspect sites in the project. The following outline documents the elements of a Phase I ESA. This outline is not intended to preclude the use of any available information which could aid in assessing a site for potential contamination. 7.1 Elements of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment 7.1.1 Executive Summary This section should include a brief general description of the project location and type of proposed transportation project. In addition, a brief discussion of activities conducted and general conclusions and recommendations for further environmental site assessment should be included. 7.1.2 Introduction A discussion of the project location, a description of the transportation project, and description of the proposed ROW acquisition should be provided in this section. While some of this information may be limited or not available, this information should be provided and used to assess the potential environmental impacts to the transportation project. In addition, a summary of any 28
