Maybe I'm too late with this now but look at it from a Phase II perspective (Phase II is where you collect soil or water samples to look for any contaminants (oils, fuel, cleaners, etc.) in the soil or groundwater). The goal for the consultant is to get to Phase II because there is more money to be made there (I'm being a little cynical here). So they will look for any type of chemicals that you use or any previous owners might have used that might have an impact on the soil/water. Then they will look for how you handle those and where you store those. If from your practice or the historical data on your property there is any potential chance that these type of materials might have gotten into the soil/water, they will recommend a Phase II to document if the soil/water was impacted. For example, having a puddle of hydraulic fluid and slight cracks in the concrete floor will definitely require concrete coring and soil sampling, at the least. I hope you get lucky because once you get caught up in the system it is expensive and time consuming to get out of it again.
