2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION2.1 Site Location and Description2.1.1 Boundaries of Property and ESA AreaThis Limited Phase I ESA was conducted on 109 properties located along the San Antonio Riverin San Antonio, Texas. Table 2.1.1-1 provides a listing of the current property ownership andreported physical location or mailing address. The assessment was divided into three areas. Thenorthern area was called the Park Reach, while the areas located progressively to the south alongthe river were called the Mission Reach Area I and the Mission Reach Area II respectively (SeeGeneral Location Map, Figure 1.1-1). In the following discussion, the Alamo, located in SanAntonio, is used as the downtown reference point.The south end of Park Reach begins where US 281 crosses the San Antonio River approximately1.5 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio and extends approximately 1.5 miles to thenortheast to where East Hildebrand Street crosses the river (See Topographic Site Location Map,Figure 1.2-1).
