Assessments of environmental liabilities are necessary because environmental remediation of soil and groundwater contamination, as well as resolving past or present regulatory violations, can be extremely costly - often higher than the fair market value of a property. Liabilities associated with past off-site disposal of hazardous waste can be even more significant. Identifying actual or potential hidden environmental liabilities before a transaction is closed can help you make an informed business decision on the financial risks and rewards of the transaction.

In order to minimize potential environmental liabilities, environmental due diligence is conducted prior to most commercial property or business transactions. EFI Global Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) are designed to identify potential environmental liabilities and make recommendations for remediation or corrective action.
