It is very important, and most times
required, by lenders to have a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) performed prior to a property transaction. The
purpose of an ESA is to identify environmental risks associated
with the property and to protect against liability related to
existing site conditions. However, there are a number of
environmental considerations which are outside the scope of a Phase
I ESA; commonly referred to within an ESA as “non-scope
considerations.” These additional...

We've seen a lot of requests
lately for asbestos and lead-based-paint (LBP) operations and
maintenance (O&M) plans as a result potential asbestos and LBP
issues identified during a Phase 1 Site Assessment. Although it is
cheaper up front to jump straight to an O&M plan, this will be
a MUCH more costly method in the long run. Without conducting a
formal survey to identify specific asbestos containing
materials and surfaces painted with lead based paint,
owners/operators will have to abide by a...

Materials (ACM) Survey, Abatement, and, perhaps an update to
their Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Plan.
Additionally, with lead-based paint (LBP)...

conducting Phase I ESAs. However, most lending institutions require

of issues such as mold, lead-based paint, lead in drinking
water, and asbestos...

were not engaged by their employers on sustainability, even though
the same amount - 86 percent - said that their firm promotes
sustainable solutions. Only 14 percent of the employees said
they were aware of their companies having an employee
sustainability engagement...

A Brownfield redevelopment project
is nothing more than a development project with a twist: it
involves the assessment of environmental issues and action to
address discovered environmental problems at a site. For many
projects, the cost of an environmental assessment is easily
controlled or negated by obtaining readily available grants from
state and federal sources. Depending on the site, this assessment
may include the collection of soil and groundwater samples,
asbestos and lead paint...
