4.1?UsesThis practice is intended for use on a voluntary basis by parties who wish to assess the environmental condition of 4.2?Clarifications on Use:? 4.2.1?Use Not Limited to CERCLAThis practice is designed to assist the 4.2.2?Residential Tenants/Purchasers and OthersNo implication is intended that it is currently customary practice for residential tenants of multifamily residential buildings, tenants of single-family homes or other residential real estate, or purchasers of dwellings for ones own residential use, to conduct an Note 1:?The 2018 BUILD Act amended the CERCLA definition of 4.2.3?Site-SpecificThis practice is site-specific in that it relates to the assessment of environmental conditions for specific commercial real estate. Consequently, this practice does not address many additional issues raised in transactions such as purchases of business entities, or interests therein, or of their assets, that may well involve environmental liabilities pertaining to properties previously owned or operated or other off-site environmental liabilities. 4.3?Who May ConductA 4.4?Additional ServicesAs set forth in 12.10, additional services may be contracted for between the user and the environmental professional. Such additional services may include business environmental risk (BER) issues not included within the scope of this practice, examples of which are identified in Section 13 under Non-Scope Considerations. 4.5?PrinciplesThe following principles are an integral part of this practice and are intended to be referred to in resolving any ambiguity or exercising such discretion as is accorded the 4.5.1?Uncertainty Not EliminatedNo environmental site assessment can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized environmental conditions in connection with a subject property. Performance of this practice is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized environmental conditions in connection with a subject property, and this practice recognizes reasonable limits of time and cost. 4.5.2?Not ExhaustiveAll appropriate inquiries does not mean an exhaustive assessment of a property. There is a point at which the cost of information obtained or the time required to gather it outweighs the usefulness of the information and, in fact, may be a material detriment to the orderly completion of transactions. One of the purposes of this practice is to identify a balance between the competing goals of limiting the costs and time demands inherent in performing an environmental site assessment and the reduction of uncertainty about unknown conditions resulting from additional information. 4.5.3?Level of Inquiry is VariableNot every property will warrant the same level of assessment. Consistent with good commercial and customary standards and practices as defined at 42 U.S.C. ? 9601(35)(B), the appropriate level of environmental site assessment will be guided by the type of property subject to assessment, the expertise and risk tolerance of the user, future intended uses of the 4.5.4?Comparison with Subsequent InquiryIt should not be concluded or assumed that an inquiry was not 4.5.5?Point in TimeThe 4.6?Continued Viability of Environmental Site Assessment:? 4.6.1?Presumed ViabilitySubject to 4.8 and the users responsibilities set forth in Section 6, an environmental site assessment meeting or exceeding this practice is presumed to be viable when it is conducted within 180 days prior to the date of acquisition4.6.2?Updating of Certain ComponentsSubject to 4.8 and the users responsibilities set forth in Section 6, an environmental site assessment meeting or exceeding this practice and for which the information was collected or updated within one year prior to the date of acquisition of the (i) interviews with owners, operators, and occupants; (ii) searches for recorded environmental cleanup liens (a user responsibility, see Section 6); (iii) reviews of federal, tribal, state, and local government records; (iv) visual inspections of the (v) the declaration by the environmental professional responsible for the assessment or update. 4.6.3?Compliance with All Appropriate InquiriesTo qualify for one of the threshold criteria for satisfying the 4.6.4?Users ResponsibilitiesIf, within this period, the environmental site assessment will be used by a 4.7?Prior Assessment UsageThis practice recognizes that environmental site assessments performed in accordance with this practice will include information that subsequent 4.7.1?Use of Prior InformationSubject to the requirements set forth in 4.6, users and environmental professionals may use information in prior environmental site assessments provided such information was generated as a result of procedures that meet or exceed the requirements of this practice. However, such information shall not be used without current investigation of conditions likely to affect recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property. Additional tasks may be necessary to document conditions that may have changed materially since the prior 4.7.2?Contractual Issues Regarding Prior Assessment UsageThe contractual and legal obligations between prior and subsequent 4.8?Actual Knowledge ExceptionIf the user or environmental professional(s) conducting an 4.9?Rules of EngagementThe contractual and legal obligations between an 4.10?Organization of This PracticeThis practice has thirteen sections and six appendixes.
