在我的20多年的环境咨询中，我在I期环境现场评估（ESAs）中发现了广泛的环境问题（或更有问题地未识别）。阶段I ESA是用于确定是否存在与网站相关的识别环境条件（REC）的属性历史的研究报告。如果您有兴趣购买商业或工业财产，则I ESA是必不可少的。由于责任涉及并取决于贷款的价值，贷款人通常需要融资交易时。
I ESA（即客户端）的检察者应该问的问题是“全部ISAS创建平等”。从理论上讲，他们应该使用相同的ASTM标准;然而，在网站上的确定是基于环境专业人员（EP）的判断和专业知识。因此，所选的EP必须在广泛的房产类型和各种用户（从空置属性到复杂的工业设施的空置属性）所需的经验。值得注意的是，EPA将客户的问责制置于使用合格的EP。此外，EP应密切熟悉管理环境报告，调查和清理的规则和法规，以及在进行阶段的特定状态。
上述因素不仅在调试一期ESA方面都很重要，而且顾问和用户之间的工作关系不仅必须确定和传达可能存在的次数以及如何解决它们，而且还存在哪些商业环境风险(i.e., wetlands, asbestos, mold, etc.) and ultimately how to account for these issues.
有许多场景，EP与I阶段用户之间的工作关系可能是有利的。如果我们了解您的企业和风险容忍以及欧安全盟署为您的特定项目的目标，我们可以更好地传达I ESA的调查结果，并确保满足您的整体目标。If you’re shopping for a Phase I consultant based only on price, not only may you be getting what you paid for (i.e., a poor quality Phase I conducted by an EP with limited experience which could result in environmental issues being missed), but there may also be intricacies that are not relayed by the consultant to the client, lost in the shuffle, and not accounted for in the total cost of obtaining a property. Just as we may ask for advice from our most trusted friends who may have experienced our life situation, a good working relationship between the client and consultant can significantly improve the decision-making process during the due diligence period. A good working relationship will facilitate communication between client and consultant and ultimately aid the client in achieving their ultimate goal of completing a real estate transaction in which the environmental risks have been properly identified and considered.
