Phase I Environmental Site Assessments
HGA adheres to EPA’s All Appropriate Inquiry Rule
implemented into law November 1, 2006. Our reports
follow this new standard point by point. A Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment is conducted as a
component of “environmental due diligence” prior to the
transfer or sale of a property. As Registered
Environmental Assessors specializing in environmental
assessments, we go through an extensive research process
to ensure our reports are detailed and accurate. Our
user-friendly writing style format offers an
easy-to-follow report, which can be customized to meet
particular requirements.
Our comprehensive reports can include an analysis of
environmental compliance issues, which may affect the
future security of the property owners and their ability
to meet financial obligations.
Hemphill, Green & Associates has conducted over one
thousand environmental site assessments and facility
audits, including multi-site, residential, vacant land,
commercial, industrial, medical, retail and
manufacturing properties.
Limited Environmental Due Diligence: Transaction Screen
Process
Transaction Screens are often used when “Innocent
Landowner Defense” is not required. Transaction Screens
are conducted for a parcel of commercial real estate
where the user wishes to conduct limited environmental
due diligence (that is, less than a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment). If the driving force
behind the environmental due diligence is a desire to
qualify for one of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Land
owner Liability Protections, this practice should not be
applied. Instead, the ASTM Practice E 1527 for
Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental
Site Assessment Process may be used.
