Avoiding the Unexpected in Property Transactions

No one likes unexpected problems. Hazardous materials sites are found throughout New Mexico and can surprise the unsuspecting land purchaser. When purchasing or transferring property, government agencies, independent districts, and private companies need Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) to complete secure property transactions. Government agencies require Phase I ESAs to minimize liability risk when acquiring property. Banks require Phase I ESAs for commercial property transactions. NV5 provides responsive Phase I ESAs services tailored to meet client transaction and schedule requirements.

Phase I ESA Process

NV5 adapts the Phase I ESA process to best serve our clients’ needs. We follow the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1527-13:  Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I ESA Process. This practice constitutes all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practices as defined in 42 USC §9601(35)(B).

Phase II ESA Process

Phase II ESAs are conducted to determine the type and extent of contamination on a property. NV5 has assessed sites ranging from a small 1-acre vacant lot to a 3,200-acre automotive testing facility. We have experience assessing a wide range of contaminants including petroleum products, chlorinated hydrocarbons, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and munitions. Phase II ESAs investigations are tailored to address existing property characteristics and future plans.
