A summary letter of the review is provided which includes the environmental risks associated with the property, potential clean up costs, and remedial timeframes.

Records Search with Risk Assessment (RSRA): The Records Search with Risk Assessment is conducted in accordance with SBA’s accepted Protocol and generally consists of the following activities:

  • A search of government databases identified in 40 CFR 312.26 for an AAI compliant Phase I
  • A search of historical use records aerial photographs, city directories, and/or fire insurance maps pertaining to the “Property” and adjoining properties, per the discretion of the environmental professional
  • A risk assessment based on the results of the records search as to whether the Property is either “low risk,” “elevated risk,” or “high risk”
  • Preparation of a letter report including the findings of the risk assessment

The TSESA is conducted in order to determine if any past and/or current use of the site, adjacent and/or abutting property and nearby off-site operations have affected or have the potential to adversely affect the environmental quality of the subject site and includes the following tasks:

  • Physical inspection of the subject property and on-site structure
  • Interview with person(s) familiar with the site

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (PI-ESA): An environmental assessment conducted in general accordance with the protocols as set forth in the Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (E 1527-21), prepared by ASTM International.

A Phase I ESA is intended to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and to further understand potential environmental conditions that could materially impact the operation of the business associated with the parcel of real estate.
