15. Agreement. Performance of this Agreement by City shall lay at rest, each, every, and all
<br />issue(s) that were raised or could have been raised in connection with the acquisition of Said Real
<br />Property by City.
<br />16. Hazardous Waste.
<br />a. Two monitoring wells, MW-5 and MW-6, are located in the portion of the property that
<br />will be acquired by the City of Santa Ana. No soil samples were collected during well installation. Based
<br />on soil vapor screening conducted with an Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA) at the time the wells were
<br />installed, there appears to be impacted soil at a depth of approximately 10 feet below ground surface in
<br />the vicinity of these wells.
<br />Benzene concentrations above the California Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) are present
<br />in groundwater in well MW-5. The impacted groundwater plume does not appear to extend beyond the
<br />intersection of Bristol and McFadden, and appears to decrease to less than the MCLs by approximately
<br />the middle of the intersection. This estimate is based on the absence of benzene concentrations in
<br />groundwater at the most down gradient well, MW-9.
<br />Seller will provide Buyer, at Buyer's request, maps illustrating benzene concentrations in
<br />groundwater, groundwater gradient maps, and summary tables of the groundwater analytical results to
<br />date. Since samples were not collected during well installation, there is no definitive (i.e. laboratory
<br />analyzed sample) soil concentration data for these two wells.
<br />b. Seller shall not cause or permit the presence, use, generation, release, discharge, storage,
<br />or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in, or about, or the transportation of any Hazardous
<br />Materials to or from, the Property. The term "Hazardous Material" shall mean any substance, material,
<br />or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, the State of California, or
