For those of you involved in Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, E 1527-13 is now in effect—and blessed by the U.S. EPA as AAI-compliant. EDR has a good analysis of what the changes are, and they are significant, including:

If the subject property or an adjoining property is identified in any of the standard environmental records sources, then performing an agency file review is not optional.

  • If the EP decides not to undertake such a file review on a particular project, the justification for not conducting one must be included in the Phase I report.
  • Section 8.2.2.2 also allows the EP to rely on alternative sources (e.g., onsite records, local government agencies, etc.) and document the findings in the report.
