Key Revisions to ASTM 1527-05 coming soon:
• Soil vapor investigation will now be treated in the same way as groundwater investigation. Soil vapor investigations will be a part of Phase I ESAs once the new revision is put into effect.
• The definition for Historical Recognized Environmental Conditions (HRECs) and Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) will be revised.
• A new term, Controlled Recognized Environmental Conditions (CRECs), will be created.
• Regulatory file reviews will be more stringent. Explanations for the reason for considering a hazardous property listed in an environmental database as pertinent to the target property's environmental health would be required.
• See the full article here.
