What is a Phase i Environmental Assessment?

A Phase I Environmental Assessment (EA) is a preliminary, non-invasive study aimed at uncovering potential environmental liabilities tied to a property. This process involves reviewing the land’s historical usage, identifying any possible pollutants, and evaluating the risk of encountering environmental issues such as underground storage tanks (USTs), asbestos, or lead-based paint.
