Environmental assessments of real estate have become an important aspect of many property transactions. The Phase I environmental site assessment is designed to provide assurance that "due diligence" has been performed for protection of purchasers and lenders. Pyramid Environmental has been a participant, contributor and voting member of the ASTM (formerly the American Society for Testing Materials) subcommittee charged with drafting a standard for the performance of the phase I assessment. As a result of the ASTM committee work, Pyramid has kept abreast of current developments in the environmental assessment field and maintains contact with users and producers of site assessments across the country.

The Pyramid Environmental Phase I satisfies and exceeds all portions of the ASTM requirements. In addition to CERCLA issues, other aspects of the environmental site conditions are normally included as part of a standard Phase I report.

As an alternative to a Phase I environmental Assessment, Pyramid Environmental can conduct a Transaction Screen for situations that do not warrant a full Phase I investigation. The Transaction Screen can save you and your clients time and money.

Phase I assessments frequently call for other associated environmental evaluations. Pyramid Environmental can provide licensed asbestos inspections, leas based paint evaluations, air pollution monitoring and wetlands determinations.

Our staff includes professionals with variety of scientific and engineering backgrounds. Each Phase I Environmental Assessment performed by Pyramid is carefully reviewed by a multi-disciplinary review committee. We work hard to ensure that our statements and conclusions are clear, direct and realistic.
