Phase 1 Environmental Assessment

If you’re involved in (or planning to be involved in) a real estate transaction, the entire deal could be delayed due to potential environmental issues. That’s why conducting a thorough due diligence assessment is critical! Without one, you could be held liable for any previous environmental issues (and cleanup costs) at the site.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the standard for “All Appropriate Inquiries” and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is the evaluation needed to conduct such an analysis into the environmental condition of commercial properties and / or sites that use federal grant money.

Liability Protection

Phase 1’s, as they are commonly called, help landowners receive liability protection should contamination occur in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, & Liability Act (CERCLA), also known as the Superfund Act. If the evaluation is not performed, you could lose your right to defend yourself against future liabilities.
