Most real estate transactions now require environmental assessment of the site, required by lenders, and required by owners (sellers and/or buyers) exercising due diligence and seeking to put into place an "innocent landowner" defense against future environmental cleanup claims against the property in question.
The "Phase I" assessment involves an "environmental professional" conducting interviews with past and present owners, operators and occupants; searching for environmental cleanup liens; review of federal, tribal, state and local government records; a visual inspection of the property (and in some cases adjoining property); and a declaration by the "environmental professional" regarding any "data gaps" (missing information that could affect the discovery of hazardous conditions or contamination on a site).
Bodine Services has the "environmental professionals" with certifications and experience to conduct all phases, including Phase II which can involve soil sampling, ground water sampling, indoor air quality testing, drums and waste materials testing, asbestos testing, and underground tank testing, and Phase III, full site/remedial investigation and selection of an appropriate/feasible remedy for contamination found in the first two phases.
Bodine Services is a certified Illinois EPA Emergency Response Contractor and an Illinois EPA Corrective Action Contractor.
Bodine Services has the equipment, experience, and trained, certified personnel to help you.
