Environmental Assessments for Real Estate Transactions

Volz provides complete, dependable and competitive environmental assessments for commercial, industrial and residential real estate transactions. Volz Environmental assessments are future informed by a thorough and current understanding of the regulatory environment, e.g., RCRA, TSCA, and CERCLA legislation, prevailing air and water standards, OSHA and EPA requirements and individual state and local regulations. Survey and analytical results of environmental assessments are translated into effective decision-making tools for buyers, sellers and lenders.

A Volz team of industrial hygiene and hazardous waste professionals and a Certified Industrial Hygienist provides the following:

Level I Environmental Assessment

• Visual Inspection
  

• O&M Personal Interview
  
• Record Review
  
• Regulatory Search

Level II Environmental Assessment

• Materials Sampling
  

• Air and Waste Sampling
  
• Subsurface Survey
  
• Materials Analysis
  
• Hazard Assessment
  
• Abatement Estimate

A combined Level I and Level II assessment is often commissioned when Level I alone will not meet the requirements specified by the parties involved. Combined Assessments are also typical when testing for asbestos, radon, and lead in drinking water. These conditions can be sampled most efficiently during a Level I site inspection.
