Specifically for environmental due diligence, aerial images play an important role in the historical review component of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. Along with other historical resources, aerial imagery aids environmental professionals in identifying a property’s past and current uses, as well as, past, current, or potential contamination risks.
