Site Auditing: Environmental Assessment of Property
Updates prepared by Zephyr Environmental Corporation.
Originally prepared by Environmental Resources Management (ERM) et al.

If you are involved in conducting environmental assessment activities associated with property transactions or simply conducting site investigations related to any type of potential site contamination, this reference guide is for you. Site Auditing provides a history of the liability associated with acquiring contaminated property under CERCLA, examines the liability protections afforded under CERCLA by conducting All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI), summarizes the RCRA Corrective Action process, and provides practical tools and information for conducting your site investigations activities to achieve your assessment objective .

Checklists and flow charts walk you through the various phases of the assessment process. The easy-to-understand presentation identifies the steps that must be performed to comply with CERCLA requirements for conducting AAI under 40 CFR 312 and ASTM E1527-05, how to implement ASTM standards for conducting  Phase II Site Investigations under ASTM E1903-97(2002), and perform subsequent assessment, often called “Phase III investigations.  It is also valuable resource for conducting assessments as required under RCRA Corrective Action, providing guidance on how to carry out the details of the assessment in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Coverage includes information and a case study on reusing previously contaminated properties for best beneficial use through EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Program, EPA's Brownfields Initiative, and related state-brownfields initiatives. Details are provided for public and private entities for using various federal and state mechanisms, such as grants, pilot projects, insurance, and tax incentives, to identify and address contaminated properties that were previously considered a risk, and to transform such sites into economically productive sites that create a sense of community pride and new tax base for the local government.
