Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I ESAs) are performed in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice E1527-13 and E2247-16 for forestland and rural properties.
Why do I need a Phase I ESA?
Lending institutions may require a Phase I ESA to ensure a property is free and clear of any environmental liability thereby protecting their investment. A Phase I ESA not only protects lenders from liability but also buyers.
What is included in a Phase I ESA?
– Federal and State Agency Records Review
– Historical Records Review
– Interviews with Owners/Neighbors
– Reconnaissance Surveys
– Preparation of Final Report
– Results and Recommendations
Applicable Laws
A Phase I ESA will satisfy all appropriate inquiries (AAI) under the Federal Superfund Law or Comprehensive Environmental Cleanup and Liability Act (CERCLA).
