Due diligence contamination assessments are an essential part of the due diligence process for property transactions, particularly for those involving industrial, commercial, or residential properties with a history of manufacturing or other potentially contaminating activities. The assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation of the property’s history, land use, and environmental factors to identify any potential contamination risks and liabilities.
The due diligence contamination assessment typically includes a thorough investigation of the property’s history, including an assessment of past and present land use activities, as well as a review of relevant regulatory records, permits, and compliance documentation. The assessment also includes soil and groundwater sampling and testing, as well as other testing and analysis to determine the extent of any contamination and the potential risks to human health and the environment.
The primary objective of due diligence contamination assessments is to identify any environmental liabilities or risks associated with the property and to ensure compliance with applicable environmental regulations. By identifying any potential contamination risks or liabilities, property buyers can make informed decisions about whether to proceed with the transaction and take necessary precautions to mitigate any environmental risks.
