I've been asked to do a "level One" inspection. What are they talking about?

I would guess they are after a phase 1 environmental assessment of the property...

Larry, you're correct. In another post Scott did indicate he was looking for an environmental Phase I inspection at a commercial property. I talked to him by phone and gave him a good contact there in Portland for him to talk to for advice.
In general a phase I environmental assessment takes stock of chemicals and other hazardous materials used at a site and documents that, a Phase II involves sampling and testing for any environmental impact and a Phase III can involve long term sampling and mitigation of issues. At least that's the way I remember it. It would not be something the rank & file HI would get involved with nor be qualified to perform. Last edited by mboyett; 6/15/07 at 6:21 PM.. |

All correct. The agents I was dealing with simply got it in their heads to use improper terminology. They need a Phase 1 Environmental assessment (an ASTM standard) The good news is I've partnered up with a local geologist, brokered a deal to get it done, made some coin for my efforts, and I'll be doing all the construction phase inspections during the constuction of a 100,000 square foot commercial/retail building as a result.
