I. During the term of this Lease, Lessee will not allow the installation of asbestos on the Demised Premises, or any item, article, container or electrical equipment, including but not limited to transformers, capacitors, circuit breakers, reclosers, voltage regulators, switches, electro-magnets and cable, containing PCBs. 3.

Special emphasis should be placed on locating these plugs at all utility trenches where they cross: other utility trenches, containment berms or walls, property boundaries, and lease boundaries. N. The aforesaid representations and warranties shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease. 10.08 DEFAULT (ENVIRONMENTAL) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease Agreement, but said default shall not terminate the Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee of termination in writing: A.

Rimkus General Superintendent 0 F F I C E AGENDA SUMMARY: Request for Order Approving Generic Criteria for Implementation of the Waterway Strategy Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago with Respect to Sanitary District Lands Which Abut Waterways. ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir: Since the adoption of the Waterway Strategy Resolution by the Board of Commissioners of The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago on February 23, 1984, which Resolution established the policy whereby The Metropolitan Sanitary District dedicated a portion of its real estate adjacent to waterways to recreational and aesthetic interests which would be balanced with the desire to commercially rent and develop said lands, the Chief Engineer, under the direction of the General Superintendent, has been working to establish specific criteria for the uniform implementation of the Resolution with respect to all of the Sanitary District's waterways lands. This has proved to be a Herculean task. At the meeting of the Board of Commissioners of The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago on February 21, 1985, authority was granted to the General Superintendent to develop site -specific criteria for addressing the Waterway Strategy Resolution with respect to three particular parcels of Sanitary District land on the Sanitary and Ship Canal due to the fact that overall criteria for all of the waterways had not yet been developed and the Chief Engineer advised against any long-term leasing activity until uniform procedures implementing the Board's policy as stated in the Waterway Strategy Resolution were prepared and presented to the Board of Commissioners for its approval. Under senarnte agenda items, we are presenting the matter of the request 1:�) cormence statutory procedures for lease of those three specific parcels previously alluded to, addressing not only the usual matters relating to leasing but the site -specific Waterway Resolution isp'_emer_tiny criteria for each parcel. EXHIBIT B r Mr. Raymond R. Rimkus -2- March 7, 1985, Board Meeting General Superintendent Deferred & Resubmitted for the March 21, 1985, Board Meeting In the course of the development of the site -specific criteria for these parcels, the Chief Engineer reviewed the specific criteria for each parcel and distilled same into general criteria for implementation of the Waterway Strategy Resolution which, it is felt, addresses most contingencies to be encountered in connection with leasing or other use of any site along the District's waterways. A copy of those general criteria is attached hereto. It is believed that the approval of these criteria by the Board of Commissioners will provide the general guidelines by which the General Superintendent may evaluate requests for the leasing of Sanitary District waterway lands and determine applicants' willingness to comply therewith so that when any specific parcel is considered for offer for leasing, all or some of these general criteria may be developed and applied as specific restrictions in connection with the proposed leasing of a parcel developed to address the Waterway Strategy Resolution. Accordingly, iti is respectfully requested that the General Superintendent recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it accept and approve the attached criteria as being adequate to provide general guidance in addressing the impact of the Waterway Strategy Resolution with respect to leasing or development of any parcel of Sanitary District waterways land. Henceforth, with respect to each specific leasing activity, site -specific criteria developed in conformity with these guidelines will be established by staff and presented to the Board of Commissioners when approval to commence statutory leasing procedures is requested with respect to any specific parcel. Respectfully submitted. /` Allen S. Lavin, Attorney NA/ Recommended Raymond R. Rimkus General Superintendent Approved: Zile Frank E. Dalton Chief Engineer Prepared by: Frederick M. Feldman Head Assistant Attorney ASL:FMF:sg It is the intent of the Sanitary District to have a well -maintained and attractive river edge on all of the property it owns adjacent to the inland waterway system. In order to accomplish this goal, the Sanitary District requires a 60-foot waterway edge easement to be included in its land leases. The lessee will be responsible for bank stabilization and the construction and maintenance of a landscaped visual screen. The Sanitary District will allow a 20 percent plus or minus variation in the 60-foot scenic easement in order to allow for site development criteria, existing topography, existing vegetation, and the development of a "natural" river's edge. The Sanitary District will allow its river edge property to be utilized by the lessee for the purpose of waterborne commerce. However, the lessee will be responsible for the construction and maintenance of a docking facility compatible with the visual intent of the scenic easement. The Sanitary District will not allow the permanent storage of unsightly materials and/or debris within either the scenic easement or the docking area. In addition, the unscreened storage of material will not be allowed anywhere within the lease. It is the intent of the Sanitary District to maintain, where possible, a "natural" appearance to its properties by retaining existing vegetative cover. However, the Sanitary District recognizes that site development will sometimes necessitate the removal of existing vegetative cover. In those cases, the Sanitary District will require the lessee to reestablish vegetative cover in the same quantities and qualities as those removed. The reestablished plan materials are to be considered as an addition to the landscaping required within the scenic easement. The Sanitary District, within its leasing procedures, requires that the lessee comply with local zoning and setback requirements. In addition, the Sanitary District will reserve the right to retain access across the leased parcel to obtain access to the water -edged lands. WATERWAY STRATEGY RESOLUTION R84-005 WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago is entrusted with and dedicated to the preservation of clean water; and WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago recognizes that dramatic improvements in water quality will occur in the inland waterway system upon completion of the initial phases of the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan in 1985; and WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago is the owner of more than 7,000 acres of property adjacent to the inland waterway system; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of The Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago: 1.That henceforth all Metropolitan Sanitary District waterway property leases will encourage public open space, recreation and water edge accessibility in harmony with appropriately scaled industrial, commercial, and residential development thus motivating an extension of the benefits of Chicago's magnificent lakefront throughout the inland waterway system. 2.This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its passage.
