ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT & CLEANUP
Caltha provides high quality, rapid response Environmental Assessment services at a very competitive cost. Banks and other lenders rely on Caltha LLP to meet tight schedules to complete their due diligence before loan closings.
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
Caltha offers Phase 1 ESAs at a very competitive cost for any site in any State. We also offer rapid response Phase I Environmental Assessments over selected geographic areas, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska & Illinois. In these areas, Caltha can often complete ESAs in approximately five business days, subject to availability and an added expedited ESA fee.
Note that in 2013, ASTM revised the Standard Practice for conducting a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment. As of November 2013, Caltha is using the new ASTM E 1527-13 method.
SBA Environmental Review, SBA Site Assessment
Since 2008, the SBA has required environmental review of all real estate loans; the level of investigation required will depend on a number of factors. Caltha is retained by SBA lenders, Community Development Corporations, and borrowers applying for SBA backed loans to conduct the environmental investigations required under SBA 504 Lending programs. This commonly is a Phase I ESA, a Transaction Screening Assessment, or an Environmental Records Search with Risk Assessment (RSRA).
