All Appropriate Inquiry Features
Lord and Winter Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) are designed to meet “All Appropriate Inquiry” requirements of the ASTM 1527-13 Standard, the data standard which forms the backbone of environmental risk protection for perspective purchasers. Key elements of the All Appropriate Inquiry include:
Site Reconnaissance
An on-site inspection of the parcel to identify whether or not evidence exists of a spill or release to the soil, groundwater, or soil vapor.
Records Review
A review of city directory records, and/or tax records to determine whether businesses with known hazardous waste handling operations operated within the parcel.
Database Search
A database search to discover whether any permit violations, reported spills and releases, environmental cleanups, or hazardous waste permits occur within the Subject Property boundary.
Maps
A review of historical aerial photographs, topographic maps, Sanborn fire insurance maps to identify any evidence of historical illicit dumping, fueling operations, or other waste storage and handling.
Interviews
Buyer and Seller questionnaires to document known institutional knowledge of hazardous waste operations and clean up and interviews with state and local agencies to determine whether the site is listed as active or closed site list for leaking underground storage tanks, dry cleaner facilities, or remediation sites.
Phase I ESA Report
A report document the results of the site reconnaissance, historical data review, interviews, and other ASTM 1527-13 recommended research items. The report concludes whether or no Recognized Environmental Conditions were found at the property.
