"This is the government-records step of a Phase I, not a Phase I. Historical-use sources, interviews, and the site reconnaissance are outside Locus.",
"State lists vary in completeness; a list marked empty means the queried source returned no record, not that no contamination exists.",
"Records within the search distance are counted, never scored. Distances are from the resolved point, not the parcel boundary.",
"For SBA loans, this can inform the Environmental Questionnaire and Records Search with Risk Assessment inputs; the environmental professional decides the next step."
