CEC Staff

Successful businesses employ appropriate due diligence to avoid unpleasant surprises, protect themselves from financial liability and manage risks. CEC’s professionals include registered environmental site assessors that have decades of experience with hundreds of environmental site assessments (ESAs) for properties that range in size from small commercial lots, to large manufacturing and industrial sites, and properties that encompass thousands of acres. ESAs meet or exceed industry standards established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Property Transaction Screenings - The minimum for due diligence (ASTM E1528).
Phase I ESA - Commonly required by banks and lending institutions (ASTM E1527).
Phase II ESA - Sampling and analysis for known and/or strongly suspected
            environmental concerns (ASTM E1903).

• Address issues that impact property valuations

• Avoid costly cleanup from undisclosed and possibly unknown conditions, including underground storage tanks, spills, leaks, and waste deposits
• Negotiate cleanup responsibility prior to closure
• Avoid "owning the problem"
3. Provides assurance to banks and lending institutions
