A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment also helps determine who is potentially liable for environmental contamination found on a property. Performing a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prior to owning a property is often equivalent to conducting All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI), a necessary practice for obtaining liability protection under CERCLA for prior contamination. When a potential owner conducts AAI (in compliance with the regulations at 40 CFR 312) on a brownfield, he/she may have a defense to liability if contamination is later discovered.
