Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

ASTM revised the standard to comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations.

When the U.S. Congress passed the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act in 2002, it cited ASTM E 1527 as the interim standard for conducting All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI).

The act also instructed EPA to develop standards for conducting AAI.

In the course of doing this, EPA found that ASTM E 1527 was appropriate and valid and could comply with EPA AAI regulation if certain issues were addressed. The newly-revised version of ASTM E 1527 reflects the resolution of these issues.

On Nov. 1, EPA issued its final rule on “Standards and Practices for Conducting All Appropriate Inquiries,” which references ASTM E 1527 as being “compliant with the statutory criteria for all appropriate inquiries.”
