About the Course

This course covers the ASTM Environmental Site Assessment Standard Practices for the Phase I Site Assessment (E1527) and the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (E1903). You will gain an understanding of what is required by the standards, how to use the standards, and how the standards affect the way you do business.

The instructor will also discuss the "Landowner Liability Protections" under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and why due diligence is necessary.

The last day of the course focuses on how to properly plan and perform Phase II investigations using ASTM E1903 Standard Guide for Phase II Environmental Site Assessments. The course shows how the Standard relies on the scientific method and the conceptual site model, and allows environmental assessors to generate reliable, defensible, reproducible information regarding the nature of potential contaminants associated with RECs identified during the Phase I Processes and how this information can assist in making informed business decisions concerning commercial real estate transactions.
