2.3. Toxic and Hazardous Materials. Client will provide us with all information within his possession or knowledge as to the potential
occurrence of toxic or hazardous materials at the site being investigated. If unanticipated toxic or hazardous materials are

consultation with our safety coordinator and Client's acceptance of proposed safety measures and fee adjustments.
