Commercial property transactions are usually preceded by a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. Typical Phase I ESAs include three main steps:

Step 1: Regulatory Records Review

Step 2: Property History & Usage Research

Step 3: Site Inspection


We summarize Steps 1 through 3 in a comprehensive report, which identifies recognized environmental conditions that may constitute a potential liability.

A recognized environmental condition is defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials in Standard Practice E 1527-00 as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release.

Adherence to the ASTM Standard may permit the user to raise the innocent landowner defense if pollution is later found to be present on the subject property.

Recognized environmental conditions identified during Phase I ESAs can be further investigated through a variety of Phase II techniques, including:

· Soil Borings & Monitoring Wells
· Soil Gas Surveys
· Geophysical Surveys
· Test Pits
· Waste Characterization Testing
