Environmental Site Assessments
Environmental assessments for property transfers focus on assessing the potential for
environmental liability based on limited, if any, sampling. Because significant business and risk
management decisions are made based on the data generated, they require extreme care and
diligence in their execution. It is a Tarmetto practice
to staff these projects with the most qualified
professionals and to ensure that the work associated
with the project undergoes a thorough technical
review. This process ensures the quality and
accuracy of the data. Tarmetto staff has extensive
experience in developing and implementing clientspecific
scopes of work and reporting formats.
Whether a client has developed their own proprietary
scope of work or must meet the requirements of a
capital partner or the secondary market, Tarmetto is
versed in the wide variety of scope variations that
exist in the marketplace today. Tarmetto has
experience with most major lending institution and
investment banking criteria, including ASTM E-1527,
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Standard & Poors.
Phase I Environmental Assessment
All investors, whether involved in business, real estate, financial
institutions, or families seeking to purchase, sell, develop, or
refinance properties need to be alerted to the possibility of
hidden environmental liabilities. The personnel at Tarmetto
Consulting, Inc. will assess and evaluate your property for
present or potential
environmental issues.
Phase I ESAs are
often sufficient for
properties, and often need no additional tests. If there
is evidence of a potential environmental issue, based
on the need of the client, the site conditions, and the
applicable regulatory requirements, Tarmetto will
work with the client to remedy the situation.
Tarmetto utilizes the expert abilities of a varied,
extended group of environmental specialists,
including regulatory compliance professionals,
environmental engineers, chemists, hydrogeologists,
and a technically accomplished support staff. We will
provide the necessary information to properly
evaluate the environmental considerations and offer services for minimizing environmental
liabilities. As necessary, Tarmetto will make recommendations for additional work and provide
associated cost estimates.
