Site Investigation Consulting

Federal law requires that a site investigation include an "all appropriate inquiry" which must include these ten areas of investigation:

• The results of an inquiry by an environmental professional;
• Interviews with past and present owners, operators, and occupants of the facility for the purpose of gathering information regarding the potential for contamination at the facility;
• Reviews of historical sources, such as chain of title documents, aerial photographs, building department records, and land-use records, to determine previous uses and occupancies of the real property since the property was first developed;
• Searches for recorded environmental clean-up liens against the facility that are filed under federal, state, or local law;
• Reviews of federal, state, and local government records, waste disposal records, underground storage tank records, and hazardous waste handling, generation, treatment, disposal, and spill records concerning contamination at or near the facility;
• Visual inspections of the facility and adjoining properties;
• Specialized knowledge or experience on the part of the owner;
• The relationship of the purchase price to the value of the property, if the property was not contaminated;
• Commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information about the property; and
• The degree of obviousness of the presence or likely presence of contamination at the property and the ability to detect the contamination by appropriate investigation.
