There may
be a few companies that produce Phase I reports that are as good as ours, but there aren’t any that are better. Ours contain 177 items, including all those required to meet the new ASTM 1527-05 standard, the TASA Guidance Document standard, and the MCP standards. Ours come with tables of Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and Above-ground Storage Tanks (ASTs) (if applicable), a table of the site history as determined from the Phase I investigation, and a table showing all identified Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs).
Some of the items less commonly found in our competitors’ reports are:
abutters as sources of contamination

endangered species
