A Phase I environmental assessment identifies
a site’s potential areas and sources of contamination.
The results of the assessment are essential considerations
for property acquisition, financing, risk assessment, and
development. On November 1, 2006, a new federal rule goes
in effect that makes several significant changes to the previous
standard for Phase I assessments conducted to achieve specific
liability protections (also known as “all appropriate
inquiries”).
