Feel free to modify the format and to add sections or subsections, tables, figures, glossaries, reference lists, and appendices that will best accomplish your objectives and provide the greatest value to your municipal client.\nSECTION 1 INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES\nIdentify the municipal entity that requested this Gap Analysis\nIdentify the subject property/properties\nIdentify the Objectives of the Gap Analysis: this should have been provided by the municipality. Such purposes may include preparing to apply for a brownfield assessment or cleanup grant, collecting information to be used to help the municipality decide whether to acquire the property, preparing to solicit proposals from prospective buyers/developers, etc.\nDescribe the procedures and limitations of the Data Gap Analysis: This should clearly state what information sources were used.  It should also include a disclaimer:\nThis report was prepared as a tool to help [name the municipal entity] to organize existing environmental information regarding the site, to identify important data gaps, and to plan the next steps in the assessment of site environmental conditions.  This report does not fulfill any state or federal rules or regulations.  Should any party undertake investigations suggested herein, a qualified environmental professional should be retained to plan and execute such investigations.\nSECTION 2 SITE INFORMATION\nIf there are previous environmental assessment reports, most will contain a good description of the site that you can adapt for your purposes.  Note that a report more than a few months old may contain outdated information.  Businesses on the site may have changed, buildings may have been demolished or built, cleanup may have occurred, etc.  Cite references for all information.\n2.1. Property Description & Existing Conditions\nIdentify the Site by address(es) and municipal tax identifications (tax assessor’s parcel I.D. or Map/Block/Lot number(s), and latitude and longitude. Include a property boundary map, ideally from a GIS system, showing parcel boundaries, parcel identifications, and background layers that help to show the site’s physical layout. Aerial/satellite images are often useful backgrounds.\nDescribe the development on the property – the number, types, sizes, ages of all buildings and structures, site utilties, access to roads/railroads/navigable waters\nList ownership, past and present, with dates of occupancy\nDescribe the site’s applicable zoning\nProvide a brief summary of the operational history of the property. (Details regarding operational history should be presented in the Section on Historical Records Review – Section 3.1 in this suggested format)\n2.2.
