We have been performing Environmental Site Consulting Services on properties ranging from vacant lots to industrial complexes. Our team of qualified professionals combine their expertise and the latest ASTM (ASTM 1527-05) guidelines to identify possible environmental impairments on a particular property.

Typical Phase I report includes:
- A physical Survey of the property and surrounding properties to assess general land use and occupants of the area.
- An onsite visual inspection of the site to identify environmental concerns.
- A review of data regarding the local geology and hydrology.
- An assessment of current and past uses and practices of the property with particular attention given to assessing if any hazardous material or waste practices have occurred at the site.
- An assessment of historic land use and development of the property through an interpretation of fire insurance maps, city directories, and/or aerial photographs of the site and interviews with persons knowledgeable of the site history.
- A review of owner/operator records.
- A review of local, state, and federal regulatory agency records maintained for the site.
- A written report of all findings including recommendations and conclusions.

Phase II site assessments are recommended by phase I assessments, if necessary. They provide a more comprehensive and detailed review of a site and a facility to further evaluate suspected environmental impairments and the extent of surface and subsurface contamination.
A phase II assessment quantitatively confirms environmental impairments, resulting liabilities and yields basic projections of remediation costs. This information may be used to negotiate the terms and conditions in a particular property transaction. |
