This manual provides a concise approach to aid in fully understanding legal concerns involved with the purchase or sale of a property. An environmental site assessment performed now will reduce the possibilities for liability claims and mandatory cleanup later. This guide approaches environmental site assessment as an ever-evolving process, providing updated information on regulatory definitions, environmental regulations, and federal sources of information. Like the previous edition, this book allows the reader to: better understand the rationale and processes involved in protecting those associated with buying or selling property; become familiar with methods used by leaders in the industry; and develop an easy-to-follow investigate strategy for performing in-house assessments. Updated appendices help illustrate the fundamental points outlined in the guide. Environmental consultants, industrial hygienists, geologists, engineers, safety professionals, environmental lawyers, commercial real estate loan officers, and many others are sure to benefit from the straightforward explanations offered in this book.
