Course Title | Transaction Screen Process |
Description | The course is specifically designed for non-environmental professionals to conduct a Transaction Screen for a property using the ASTM Standard Practice E1528-14 for Limited Environmental Due Diligence: Transaction Screen Process. The process involves a site visit, owner and occupant interviews, a search of specific government records, and historical land use inquiries. The course will help attendees understand the purpose of the Transaction Screen, and present a practical approach to obtaining and interpreting records, performing and documenting observations, and conducting interviews that yield relevant information. Attendees will gain valuable insight into the distinctions between the Transaction Screen process and a full Pre-Acquisition Environmental Site Assessment (ASTM E1527-13 and E2247-08); and important decision-making criteria for deciding what level of due diligence is appropriate for a given property, and how to respond to findings. The course will include a multiple-choice final exam on the third day. In order to pass this class you will need to receive an 80% or better on the final exam.
