If you plan to purchase, lease, or refinance a commercial or industrial
property, you could be liable for pre-existing environmental conditions on
the site.  These include:
  • Hazardous Waste
  • Chemical spills
  • Petroleum spills
  • Soil contamination
  • Groundwater contamination

Limit Your Liability
To protect yourself and to limit your liability it is highly recommended that you perform
a  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the property in question.  

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) satisfies one of the
requirements of the Innocent Landowner Defense to liability imposed by the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).

Phase I ESAs are ordered by buyers, sellers, brokers, lessees, and lenders involved
in the sale, purchase, re-finance or leasing of industrial, commercial and agricultural
properties. Phase I ESAs are typically required by lenders in order to assure that
properties do not possess environmental conditions that could diminish the value of
the property, the ability of the borrower to repay, or to establish baselines to allocate
responsibility for clean-up costs.

What is a Phase I ESA?
A Phase I ESA is a detailed study of the property and surrounding properties including
a thorough site inspection, occupant interviews, historical records searches, a study
of past land uses, spills, tanks, and other environmental conditions.  Gathered
information is presented in a written report format.

Our Phase I ESAs are conducted by experienced environmental professionals and
are performed in general accordance with ASTM Standard E1527-05 - "All Appropriate
Inquiries."

What do the Phases mean?

Transaction Screen
A limited study of site features and historical
records, per ASTM E1528-06.  Allows some
risk assessment but does not offer liability
protection under CERCLA.

Phase I
An in-depth non-invasive study of the property
and relevant historical records per
ASTM E1527-05 .  Offers certain liability
protections under CERCLA.

Phase II
Invasive sampling and analysis of the site,
often by subsurface drilling.  A Phase II is
typically performed at the advisement of
Phase I findings.  In cases when
contamination is initially suspected, a
combined Phase I/Phase II is often
performed.

Phase III
Following the findings of Phase I/Phase II
investigations, Phase III is the remediation of
adverse site conditions including soil
removal, tank removal, hazardous waste
removal, and groundwater clean-up.  This
work is often performed  with input by state
environmental authorities.
