- Attachment B: Figure 6-4 from the Streamlined Remedial Investigation and the Gannett Fleming map showing the area that was fenced off (in figure 6-4 of the SRI)

- Attachment D: Scanned image of a 1943 aerial photo containing features identified in 1998 by the U.S. Geological Survey, and included in the SRI. The Florida Department of Health used ArcView© (computer program Version 3.2, Redlands CA, ESRI, 2001) in a geographical information system to overlay this image with features identified in the SRI (the pipes and sump) and by Black and Veatch (the culvert under Hull Avenue).

- Attachment E: The following attachment shows the area that is currently fenced off as a forested flood plain. It is in the same location and is the same shape as the cleared area in the 1943 aerial photos shown in the old aerial photographs.
