Professionals
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments
The foundation of environmental due diligence is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. An experienced Environmental Professional, as defined by EPA All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) standards, will handle your Phase I ESA from beginning to end. We conduct Phase I ESAs in accordance with the current ASTM standard for Phase I ESAs, ASTM E1527-13, which includes a Property walkover, historic use research, interviews, Freedom of Information Act requests, and database searches to document that environmental due diligence was properly performed on your behalf.
Baseline Environmental Assessments (BEAs)
In the event a Phase II ESA indicates your site is contaminated, Stolz Environmental Solutions, LLC knows how to help you still acquire the Property while insulating yourself from the cleanup liability associated with the existing contamination. SES has performed hundreds of BEAs in Michigan. Our experience will help you acquire the site without acquiring the environmental cleanup liability that would otherwise come with it.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
Some sites require a little more concern than others. A Phase II ESA is the next step in documenting your environmental due diligence activities where the current or past uses of a site indicate there may be conditions that could represent an unacceptable cleanup liability risk. An experienced Certified Professional Geologist will will plan the most reasonable sampling strategy to obtain the results necessary to assess the risks identified during Phase I ESA activities. Phase II ESAs are a delicate balance of diligence, data, budgets, and reasonable accessibility. SES has the experience to navigate the complexities of successfully assessing risk while assisting in helping all of the parties in a real estate transaction feel comfortable with the process, and understand the implications of potential outcomes.
Due Care Compliance Assessments
Owning a site that is contaminated doesn't have to mean owning a site that is unsafe. State and Federal regulations generally require owners of contaminated sites to meet their “Due Care Obligations.” Due care obligations can include cooperating with future cleanup actions, preventing exacerbation of existing contamination, and mitigating unacceptable hazards in order to protect public health and safety. SES has the experience to help you meet due care obligations and continue to use a contaminated site in a safe manner.
