When is a Phase I ESA needed?
A Phase I ESA is needed as part of the due diligence process during a real estate transaction, such as a property purchase, sale, refinancing, or land lease. A due diligence inquiry can determine if any contamination or hazardous conditions may exist before the transaction. This is important because you may be paying the cost of the clean up. Therefore, a Phase I ESA is crucial in protecting the buyer or lender from future liability.
A Phase I ESA is conducted for commercial and industrial properties, rural land, open undeveloped land, and residential multi-family properties. As such, nearly all real estate transactions involve a Phase I.
