Environmental Due Diligence: A Shield Against Unseen Environmental Hazards
In the world of commercial real estate lending, environmental due diligence (EDD) is a crucial step in ensuring that financial ventures are secure and sustainable. As the real estate market continues to evolve, EDD has become an essential component of property risk management.
A Preliminary Assessment of Potential Environmental Liabilities
Envirosite, a leading provider of environmental data for real estate and environmental professionals, recently conducted a cursory review of historical information and visual inspection of a property, providing a preliminary assessment of potential environmental liabilities. The results indicate that the property may be at risk due to its past use as an industrial site.
The Process of Identifying Potential Environmental Liabilities
The process of identifying potential environmental liabilities involves a thorough examination of:
- Historical records
- Past ownership
- Previous land uses
- Current operations
Envirosite’s expert team of Environmental Professionals (EPs) navigated the complexities of environmental data to uncover any indications of the historical use, handling, or storage of hazardous substances or petroleum products.
