A3 Environmental Consultants - Official Site. Environmental Screens (ES), Desktop Environmental Radius Searches. An Environmental Screen is a type of environmental due diligence that people purchase when commercial property changes hands. Frequently, Environmental Screens are also known as Environmental Radius Searches, Desktop Risk Assessments, or Desktop Environmental Reviews. The best use for an Environmental Screen is when you need a fast, inexpensive overview of the environmental risks associated with a property. What's In a Environmental Screen? An Environmental Screen is a high level review of the Federal, State, County and Municipal databases. The Cost: Desktop Environmental Reviews are very high level, there's not a lot of fine detail.

The Turnaround Times: Environmental Radius Searches are the fastest turnaround environmental product you can buy. The Report: If you requested your Environmental Screen without review you'll receive the database results, a radius map showing your property and the proximity of any environmental issues that were in the database. The Limitations: Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) ASTM E1527-13. A Phase 1 ESA is a comprehensive review of the environmental risks past, present and future with regard to a commercial property.

They are typically done during a change in ownership of commercial property. Buyers, sellers or banks commission them. Ultimately, reasons to perform an environmental site assessment are to protect the value of the collateral for a loan for the buyer and lender. Environmental issues can be very expensive. It is not impossible for a property value to become negative due to environmental impacts from previous owners or neighboring businesses. The bank doesn't want to lend on a property it might get back in a foreclosure. They really don't want a property they can't resell without mitigating the environmental liability. If a property is purchased without a Phase 1 ESA, the liability of the environmental impact is transferred to the new owner. Phase 1 Audit: Comprehensive Database Search The Phase 1 ESA starts with a comprehensive database search.
