AES has performed numerous ASTM-Standard Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I ESA) throughout the mid-Atlantic region. We offer competitive guaranteed pricing, rapid turnaround, and guaranteed delivery while maintaining high-quality services conducted by experienced staff members. AES is an approved consultant with many area financial institutions so that both our clients and their lenders may rely on our work products. AES also performs ASTM-standard site assessment transaction screens, to meet your site inspection and due diligence needs.

AES' Phase I ESAs typically provide information as required by the ASTM standard, including data collected from a site walkover, interview(s) with current and past site owners or operators, physical setting information (i.e. geology, topography, soils), information on storage tanks, hazardous substances, and site history. In conjunction with the collection of this information, AES arranges for a complete environmental database search, and, if warranted based on this search, conducts regulatory file reviews and recovers site-specific information from necessary agencies. AES' staff is well versed in the latest ASTM methods and requirements relative to Phase I ESAs. Recent changes in the definitions of recognized environmental condition (REC), material threat, and business environmental risk have been incorporated into AES' standard operating procedures and are also provided if requested by our clients. These changes have clarified issues enabling property buyers to make important decisions when acquiring commercial or industrial properties. Our team of environmental professionals stays abreast of all revisions to the ASTM standard in order to provide our clients the highest level of liability protection when considering and/or purchasing real estate. In addition, if requested, AES can provide information not normally required by the ASTM standard, including wetlands, asbestos, mold, indoor air quality, radon, and lead-based paint surveys. Most importantly, AES is not limited to only the completion of Phase I ESAs. We are fully experienced with investigating and remediating any issues raised during the completion of the Phase I ESA.
