Environmental Site Assessment

The reason for performing environmental site assessments is to identify and evaluate recognized environmental conditions. Failure to identify recognized environmental conditions before a property is purchased may result in liability for the new owners and lenders and can cause a reduction in collateral value of the real estate.

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is a critical point in the evaluation of risk when purchasing or financing the purchase of a property. To adequately address this risk evaluation, ALPINE only uses senior staff to perform Environmental Site Assessments. This includes degreed personnel with several relevant certifications/licenses and over a decade of assessment experience.

ALPINE performs Environmental Site Assessments following the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice 1527-05.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessments are often necessary when unresolved Recognized Environmental Conditions are identified during a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. The scope is defined based on the Phase I ESA information. It may be as simple as the collection of a single sample or as complex as a groundwater survey throughout an entire industrial complex.
