The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) uses existing information to help a community understand the property conditions by examining current and historical uses of the site and potential threats to human health or the environment. Environmental assessments must be completed or overseen by an environmental professional, which may include a licensed geologist, engineer or site professional.
The ASTM 1527-21 standard was recently updated and is the basis for this service.

Examine past and current land uses through property photographs, maps and historical records.
Examine ownership and environmental records related to managing or disposing of hazardous substances and petroleum products.
Visit the site and nearby properties to observe current conditions.
Find out what they know about site operations involving wastes and chemicals. All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI)
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.
