PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is often conducted to assess the potential for liability from hazardous materials and/or petroleum contamination on a parcel of real estate. We conduct Phase I ESAs strictly following the methodology detailed in the ASTM E1527-13 standard, in order to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify meeting all appropriate inquiries into the previous ownership and uses of a property under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).

A Phase I ESA is typically required by a lender or investor in order to limit the potential liabilities from the purchase of a contaminated property.

The epa has approved the latest revision to the E1527-13 standard. AS of february 13, 2023, the most up to date version of e1527-21 can be used in meeting “all appropriate inquiries.

under pressure by the industry, the epa decided it would delete reference to e1527-13 but, has given a year to sunset that version. although encouraged by the industry to quickly adopt e1527-21 in february, the older version can be used until one year from the acceptence date to meet “all appropriate inquiries”.

LIMITED PHASE II SITE INVESTIGATIONS

Should a Phase I ESA reveal a potential recognized environmental condition (REC), Odin Environmental, LLC is experienced in conducting investigations into the source, location and severity of contamination. Soil, soil gas vapor and groundwater samples are often collected along with advancement of borings using a variety of drill rigs or exploratory test pits with a backhoe.
