it nor any person or organization occupying space or facilities thereupon shall
discriminate against any person or class of persons by reason of race, color, creed,
sex, marital status, political affiliation, national origin, religion, handicap or sexual
orientation in the use of any of the facilities provided for the public at the port, and
(3) that in any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or
privilege at the port is granted to any person, firm or corporation to conduct or

The Applicant shall operate and maintain in a safe and serviceable condition, as
deemed reasonably necessary by the Secretary, the port and all facilities thereon and
connected therewith which are necessary to service the maritime users of the Port

under any agreement covering the use by the Applicant or its lessees, upon which,
adjacent to which, or in connection with which, any property transferred by this

out, or otherwise, the title, right of possession and all other rights conveyed by any
Deed(s) to the Applicant, or any portion thereof, shall at the option of the Secretary
revert to the Government in its then existing condition sixty (60) days following the
date upon which demand to this effect is made in writing by Secretary or his
successor in function, unless within said sixty (60) days such default or violation

shall have been met, observed, or complied with, in which event said reversion shall
not occur and title, right of possession, and all other rights conveyed hereby, except
such, if any, as shall have previously reverted, shall remain vested in the Applicant.
n. That if the construction of any of the foregoing terms, reservations, restrictions and
conditions recited herein as provisions or the application of the same as provisions in
any particular instance is held invalid, the particular term, reservation, restriction or
condition in question shall be construed instead merely as conditions upon the breach
of which the Secretary may exercise its option to cause the title, interest, right of

Form MA-1047 (12-2016)

Page 6 of 13

possession, and all other rights conveyed to the Applicant, or any portion thereof, to
revert to it, and the application of such term, reservation, restrictions or condition as
provision in any other instance and the construction of the remainder of such terms,

the Applicant voluntarily returns title to the property in lieu of a reverter, then the
Applicant shall provide protection to, and maintenance of the property at all times
until such time as the title is actually reverted or returned to and accepted by the
Government. Such protection and maintenance shall, at a minimum, conform to the
standards prescribed in the GSA Customer Guide to Real Property Disposal, as listed

6. NOTICE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Schedule D contains a notice of hazardous
substances that have been stored for one year or more, or known to have been released, or
disposed of, on certain portions of the real property, and the date(s) that such storage, release,
or disposal took place, as required by Title 40 CFR Part 37:3, and 42 U.S.C.A. §9620(h)(1).
Section 373.3(b) requires that the following statement be prominently displayed:

The information contained in this notice is required under the authority of regulations
promulgated under Section 10(h) of CERCLA or “Superfund” 42 U.S.C.A. §9620(h).

7. PRESENCE OF ASBESTOS. The Port Facility may be improved with buildings and
facilities and equipment that may contain asbestos-containing materials. The Finding of
Suitability to Transfer may disclose the condition and location of any asbestos-containing
materials. WARNING!
a. The Applicant is warned that the Port Facility contains asbestos-containing materials.
Unprotected or unregulated exposure to asbestos in product manufacturing, shipyard,
and building construction workplaces have been associated with asbestos-related
diseases. Both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulate asbestos because of the potential
hazards associated with exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. Both OSHA and EPA
have determined that such exposure increases the risk of asbestos-related diseases,
which include certain cancers and which can result in disability or death.
b. The Applicant is invited, urged, and cautioned to inspect the Port Facility prior to
submitting an Application. More particularly, the Applicant is invited, urged, and
cautioned to inspect the Port Facility as to its asbestos content and condition and any
hazardous or environmental conditions relating thereto. The Government shall assist
the Applicant in obtaining any authorization(s) which may be required in order to
carry out any such inspection(s). The Applicant shall be deemed to have relied solely
on its own judgment in assessing the overall condition of all or any portion of the
Port Facility, including without limitation, any asbestos hazards or concerns.
c. No warranties, either express or implied, are given with regard to the condition of the
Port Facility including, without limitation, whether the Port Facility does or does not
contain asbestos or is or is not safe for a particular purpose. The failure of the
Applicant to inspect or to be fully informed as to the condition of all or any portion of
the Port Facility shall not constitute grounds for any claim or demand for adjustment
or withdrawal by the Applicant from the agreement formed by the execution of any
Deed(s).
d. The description of the Port Facility set forth in the Application and any other
information provided therein with respect to the Port Facility is based on the best
information available to the Disposal Agency and is believed to be correct, but an
error or omission, including but not limited to the omission of any information
available to the Disposal Agency or any other Federal agency, shall not constitute
grounds or reason for non-performance of the agreement formed by an acceptance of
the Application by the Disposal Agency or any claim by the Applicant against the

Form MA-1047 (12-2016)

Page 10 of 13

Government including, without limitation, any claim for allowance, refund,
deduction, or payment of any kind.
e. The Government assumes no liability for damages for personal injury, illness,
disability, or death to the Applicant or to the Applicant’s successors, assigns,
employees, invitees or any other person subject to the Applicant’s control or direction
or to any other person, including members of the general public, arising from or
incident to the purchase, transportation, removal, handling, use, disposition, or other
activity causing or leading to contact of any kind whatsoever with asbestos on the
Port Facility, whether the Applicant, has or have properly warned or failed to
properly warn the individuals(s) injured.
f.

The Applicant further agrees that in its use and occupancy of the Port Facility it shall
comply with all Federal, state, and local laws relating to asbestos.

8. PRESENCE OF LEAD. (Can be deleted if not applicable.) The Applicant is informed that
the property includes improvements that are duly presumed to contain lead-based paint
because they are thought or known to have been constructed before 1978. The hazards of
lead-based paint are often present in dust, paint chips, or surfaces upon which lead-based
paint has been applied. High concentrations of lead in the body can damage the brain,
nervous system, kidneys, or hearing; affect learning and coordination, cause behavioral
problems, blindness, and even death; and cause problems in pregnancy and fetal
development. Lead is especially hazardous to children of less than seven (7) years of age.
a. The Applicant is invited, urged, and cautioned to inspect the property prior to
acquiring it. More particularly, the Applicant is invited, urged, and cautioned to
inspect the property as to its lead-based paint content and condition and any
hazardous or environmental conditions relating thereto. The Disposal Agency shall
assist the Applicant in obtaining any authorization which may be required in order to
carry out any such inspection. The Applicant shall be deemed to have relied solely
on its own judgment in assessing the overall condition of all or any portion of the
property, including, without limitation, any lead-based paint hazards or concerns.
b. All applicable surfaces of structures on the property to be conveyed constructed prior
to 1978 and used by children of less than seven (7) years of age shall be inspected to
determine whether defective paint surfaces exist. For this purpose all defective paint
surfaces shall be assumed to be immediate hazards; and (2) treatment necessary to
eliminate the hazards of lead-based paint shall be taken in accordance with Federal,
State and local lead-based paint laws and regulations.

9. RISK OF LOSS. From time to time, the Disposal Agency assigns property to the Secretary
for conveyance. From the date(s) of the conveyance by the Secretary, the Applicant shall
bear all risks and shall bear any and all losses sustained by reason of damage due to casualty
that may be suffered by the Port Facility and shall bear any and all losses associated
therewith. Notwithstanding any such losses or damage, each and all of the provisions of the
Deed(s) shall remain unimpaired and in full force and effect.

10. ENTRY INTO POSSESSION OF THE PORT FACILITY. The Applicant agrees to enter
into possession of the Port Facility or such portions thereof as described in Schedule A and B,
from the date(s) of conveyance by the Secretary.

11. ASSIGNMENT BY THE DISPOSAL AGENCY. The Disposal Agency may assign the
property to the Secretary for conveyance to the Applicant upon request by the Secretary.
