For that reason, a geotechnical <br />engineering or geologic report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions or <br />recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated <br />contaminants. Similarly, environmental reports are not used to address geotechnical or geologic concerns <br />regarding a specific project. <br />Biological Pollutants <br />GeoEngineers’ Scope of Work specifically excludes the investigation, detection, prevention or assessment <br />of the presence of Biological Pollutants. Accordingly, this report does not include any interpretations, <br />recommendations, findings, or conclusions regarding the detecting, assessing, preventing or abating of <br />Biological Pollutants and no conclusions or inferences should be drawn regarding Biological Pollutants, as <br />they may relate to this project. The term “Biological Pollutants” includes, but is not limited to, molds, fungi, <br />spores, bacteria, and viruses, and/or any of their byproducts. <br />If Ecology desires these specialized services, they should be obtained from a consultant who offers services <br />in this specialized field.
