Environmental Compliance 101

August Mack provides several types of Environmental Due Diligence Assessments to aid clients in assessing environmental risk during commercial property transactions. The most basic of which is typically the Records Review with Risk Assessment. The Records Review with Risk Assessment allows the client to get an understanding of the regulatory status and history of the site and surrounding area. Furthermore, the client receives August Mack’s professional opinion as to whether the information provided by the records represents a "high" or "low" environmental risk to the site. This article discusses the process of conducting the Records Review with Risk Assessment, the benefits and limitations of the Records Review with Risk Assessment, and ultimately how to interpret the findings and address a "high" risk rating.
