As liability
and environmental awareness increases, so does the importance
of sound environmental due diligence during property transactions.
Private property owners, lending institutions, commercial real
estate developers, investors and many other businesses unwittingly
expose themselves to the liabilities inherent in property purchases
and leasing transactions. RMEC provides site assessments for organizations
and individuals involved in property transactions in order to
assess the potential environmental hazards and to ensure protection
from liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Environmental site assessments
prepared by RMEC meet or exceed the ASTM Standard of Practice
E-1527-00. RMEC offers the following environmental assessment
and related services:
Phase
I and II environmental site assessments and subsurface investigations
Asbestos
and lead-based paint inspections
Comprehensive
Underground Storage Tank (UST) closure and removal
Spill
and release assessments and contaminant source identification
