Environmental Site Assessments

Phase I ESA’s – Retail Portfolio

RT has been conducting numerous Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA’s) across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia for this Developer who constructs and operates a portfolio of sites for a nationwide restaurant-based franchise business.  This client repeatedly retains RT to conduct environmental due diligence activities prior to their acquisition of both commercial and residential properties. The types of properties that have been assessed by RT include existing car washes, restaurants, banks, former gasoline service stations, automotive repair shops, automotive dealerships, retail businesses, office buildings, etc.  In those cases where environmental issues, or Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs), are identified, RT has assisted the client in assessing the risks from both an environmental liability and cost standpoint.  In some cases, the Phase I ESA’s can lead to Phase II Investigation work.
