Rental Car Concession - __________ 43
The Environmental Assessment, together with any written comments provided by
Concessionaire, the Aviation Department, or other County agencies pursuant to the
foregoing sentence shall be initialed by Concessionaire and the Director and kept on file
with the Aviation Department.
The Environmental Assessment shall not be deemed to in any way release any party from
any liability under any federal, state, county, or local laws, ordinances, rules, or
regulations, or in any way to limit the regulatory powers of County or any of its agencies.
The Aviation Department, other applicable County agencies, and the contractors and
consultants retained to perform the Environmental Assessment shall have entry to the
Premises at all times for such purpose and the right to perform such examinations,
inspections, soil borings, other tests, inquiries, and surveys necessary or desirable in the
performance of the Environmental Assessment and to inspect and copy all relevant
records of Concessionaire.
14.3 Environmental Responsibilities. Concessionaire shall at all times be responsible for any
Recognized Environmental Condition and any release, discharge, or disposal of any Material at
the Premises or upon any other Airport property occupied, utilized, or accessed by
Concessionaire in any manner whatsoever, that was caused by Concessionaire or any of
Concessionaire's Parties, or caused by any trespasser on the Premises at any time that
Concessionaire was in possession of the Premises. Concessionaire shall, at Concessionaire's sole
expense, and upon County's demand or demand of any County agencies or any local, state, or
federal regulatory agency, immediately contain, remove, abate, and remediate any Recognized
Environmental Conditions and Materials released, discharged, or disposed of on the Premises by
Concessionaire, Concessionaire's Parties, or Concessionaire's actions, or upon any other Airport
property occupied, utilized, or accessed by Concessionaire or Concessionaire's Parties, in any
manner whatsoever. If Concessionaire does not take action immediately to have such
Recognized Environmental Conditions and Materials contained, removed, abated and
remediated, County or any of its agencies may, upon reasonable notice to Concessionaire (which
notice must be written unless an emergency condition exists, as determined by County, at its sole
discretion), undertake the containment, removal, abatement, or remediation of the Recognized
Environmental Conditions and Materials; however, any such action by County or any of its
agencies will not release Concessionaire from its obligations under this or any other provision of
this Agreement or as imposed by law. No action taken by either Concessionaire or County to
contain, remove, abate, or remediate Recognized Environmental Conditions, or a release,
discharge, or disposal, whether such action is taken voluntarily or not, is an admission of liability
as to the source of, or the person who caused, the Recognized Environmental Conditions or a
release, discharge, or disposal. Concessionaire shall contain, remove, abate, and remediate any
impacted property as aforesaid, in accordance with timetables acceptable to County and within
the Applicable Laws. County may pursue damages and any and all other available remedies from
Concessionaire if Concessionaire does not comply with any of its obligations.
