Webinar – E1527-21 is IN… E1527-13 is OUT! What EPs NEED TO KNOW

The EPA reference to ASTM’s E1527-13 Standard for Phase I Environmental Site Assessment ends on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. For those who have not done so already, it’s time to update processes and templates to meet the E1527-21 standard.

Join Julie Kilgore, owner of Wasatch Environmental Inc., and chair of the ASTM E1527 committee to review specific changes that must be included in any Phase I ESAs going forward.

Some of the changes include, new requirements for:

·      Reviewing historical sources;
·      Report contents;
·      Significant Data Gaps;

and clarifications to:

·      The definitions of RECs, CRECs, and HRECs; and,
·      Environmental liens and activity and use limitations searches.
