Phase I ESA
At Apex EHS, we understand the critical importance of due diligence in property transactions and development projects. Our Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) are designed to provide comprehensive insights into the environmental condition of a property, ensuring that our clients are fully informed about potential environmental risks and liabilities.
Conducted in accordance with the standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E1527-13, our Phase I ESAs encompass a thorough review of historical and current land use. This process includes:
- An on-site visit to observe present conditions and any evidence of environmental contamination.
- A review of historical records (such as aerial photographs, city directories, and land title records) to identify past property uses that may have affected the environmental state.
- Interviews with past and present property owners, occupants, neighbors, and local government officials to gather information on the site history and potential environmental concerns.
- An examination of federal, state, and local records to identify any recorded environmental cleanup sites near the property that could affect it.
Our team of environmental experts goes beyond mere compliance checks to provide a detailed assessment that helps mitigate environmental risks, thereby protecting our clients from potential liability. A Phase I ESA by Apex EHS is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in real estate development, investment, or management, providing peace of mind and facilitating informed decision-making.
Whether you are contemplating the acquisition of new property, planning development projects, or seeking to understand the environmental status of your current assets, Apex EHS's Phase I Environmental Site Assessments offer the clarity and assurance you need to move forward with confidence.
