Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for Commercial Real Estate
TXB Enviro helps lenders, investors, and CRE professionals identify environmental risk before closing — with clear, defensible reports delivered on schedule.
Services
Environmental due diligence, done right the first time
Every assessment is performed start to finish by an Environmental Professional — not handed off to junior staff — and written to hold up under lender and legal scrutiny.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
A commercially prudent inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs) at the subject property, conducted in accordance with ASTM E1527-21 — the standard EPA recognizes as satisfying the All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) Rule (40 CFR Part 312), a prerequisite for CERCLA landowner liability protections.
- Site reconnaissance and area inspection
- Interviews, questionnaires, and review of provided documents
- Historical research — aerials, topographic maps, city directories, Sanborn maps
- Federal, state, tribal, and local regulatory records (NPL, SEMS, RCRA, LUST/PST, and more)
- Clear findings and practical conclusions, without unnecessary delays or surprises
Reliance Letters
Reliance for additional parties — including lenders and participating institutions — issued so more than one stakeholder can rely on a single report.
Report Updates
Under ASTM E1527-21, a Phase I ESA is presumed viable for 180 days and may be extended to one year when key components are updated. TXB provides updates that keep an existing report usable for closing.
Property Types
Assessed across every major commercial asset class
Each asset class carries its own environmental profile — dry cleaners in a strip center, hydraulic lifts in a warehouse, underground tanks at a fueling site. Knowing where to look is the difference between a clean report and a missed condition.
Site Conditions
What gets looked at on site
Photographs from TXB Enviro assessments. Site reconnaissance is where a REC is most often identified — or correctly ruled out — and every observation is documented and carried through to the findings.
Drum & Container Storage
Bulk containers, secondary containment, labeling, and staining — checked against the property's hazardous materials handling and RCRA generator status.
Petroleum & Hazmat Dispensing
Interior dispensing racks, totes, and chemical storage — reviewed for spill history, containment adequacy, and floor drain connections.
Fueling Systems & USTs
Dispenser islands, fill ports, and vent lines cross-checked against TCEQ PST and LUST records for the site and adjoining properties.
Car Washes & Separators
Oil/water separators, wash bay sumps, and reclaim systems — common sources of subsurface impact when maintenance records are thin.
Manufacturing & Process Areas
Production floors, solvent use, compressors, and clarifiers — evaluated alongside interviews and any available permits or waste manifests.
Warehouse & Storage Interiors
Slab condition, trench drains, hydraulic lifts, transformers, and prior tenant fit-out — the details that reveal how a building was actually used.
Process
From authorization to report, a straight line
Turnaround options are quoted in every proposal — available in as few as 10 business days from notice to proceed.
Proposal & Authorization
A fixed-fee proposal with turnaround options. Your signature is the notice to proceed — no retainers*, no surprises.
Records & History
Regulatory database review plus historical sources — aerials, topos, city directories, and Sanborn maps — covering the property and adjoining sites.
Site Reconnaissance
On-site inspection of the property and surrounding area by the Environmental Professional, with owner and occupant interviews.
Report & Support
A clear, well-organized report identifying any RECs, delivered on schedule — with the EP available to answer questions after delivery.
* Payment terms are client-specific and stated in your proposal.
