 Transaction
Screen Process (ASTM E 1528)
Completion of the Transaction Screen Process in accordance with ASTM
standards may allow the user to conclude that no further inquiry is needed to
assess the environmental conditions of the property. This will allow the
user to invoke the innocent landowner defense without performing a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment. Completion of the Transaction screen
process concludes that (1) no further inquiry into recognized environmental
conditions of the property is needed for purposes of appropriate inquiry, or (2)
further inquiry is needed to assess recognized environmental conditions
appropriately for purposes of appropriate inquiry. Transaction Screens include the following tasks:
- Site reconnaissance
- Limited historical search (Sanborn or Fire Department)
- Limited database search
- Owner/occupant questionnaire
- Report
