Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) |
| |
|
East & Associates provides professional Phase I
ESA reports for the investigation of
environmental risk factors both and and/or near
the subject property that could affect its value
or use. A comprehensive physical and historical
review of the subject property is completed to
determine potential environmental liability. The
scope of service of the Phase I ESA report is
completed to the current ASTM E 1527-05 and EPA
AAI standards. |

|
Transaction Screen Environmental Site
Assessments (ESAs) |
| |
|
The Transaction Screen Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) is a limited environmental
review of a property, with a scope of work
intended to be less than a Phase I ESA. The
Transaction Screen ESA report is generally
prepared for low risk properties. The
Transaction Screen ESA report is completed in
general accordance to the ASTM Standard
E-1528-06. This practice is designed to identify
Potential Environmental Concerns (PECs) in
connection with a property and does not
necessarily require the judgment of an
Environmental Professional (EP) as defined in
the ASTM Standard E 1527-05 standards. This
report offers an economical savings over a Phase
I ESA report. |

|
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Letter Reports |
| |
|
The ESA Letter Report is a custom-styled report
that includes a limited physical review of the
property. The report includes current aerial
photographs, site photographs, site maps, flood
map, topographical map and a regulatory database
report. Typically, the historical review of the
subject property is not part of the scope of
service of the ESA Letter Report. This report is
intended for a low capped loan that the lender
deems a minimum environmental risk property.
This report offers an economical savings over a
Transaction Screen ESA. The results of the ESA
Letter Report will conclude either that no
Potential Environmental Concerns (PECs) are
present; therefore no further inquiry is
necessary or that PECs are identified, which
require further inquiry to evaluate the
identified potential environmental concerns.
Further inquiry could be proceeding to either a
Transaction Screen ESA or a Phase I ESA. |

Desktop Review Environmental Letter Reports |
| |
|
The Desktop Review Environmental Letter Report
was developed in response to the Small Business
Administration (SBA) SOP 50-10(5) Lender and
Development Company loan programs. The scope of
service for this report does not include
a site visit. East & Associates, Inc. will
furnish the client with the Environmental
FirstSearch custom environmental
questionnaire. The document will be completed
by our client and returned to our company. The
questionnaire along with the address information
will be submitted to FirstSearch and will
flow seamlessly into the FirstSearch
software. The regulatory database company will
then downloaded the FirstSearch Environmental
Action Analysis report to our firm for
review purposes. This report analyzes and
interprets the database search results and is
fully integrated with the environmental
questionnaire. The database report combines the
results of the questionnaire with the results of
the database report to provide a recommended
course of action. |
| |
|
Our research team will
complete a review of historical city
directories, fire insurance maps and available
aerials from the local library. In addition to
reviewing the documentation from library
sources, our Environmental Professional (EP)
will review the regulatory database, the
FirstSearch action analysis level of risk
statement and provide a letter report to our
client. The letter report will be submitted
with a recommendation as to the environmental
risk associated with the loan giving the lender
a clear course of action as to the next step in
the loan process. |
