??#FAQ: What is the TRI? The Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) is a public database that tracks the amount of toxic chemicals released into the environment as reported by industrial and federal facilities. Companies report certain chemicals they release into the air or water, as well as the amount. The data found in the #TRI is compiled by the companies reporting possible contaminants in their facilities. Because of the vast listing of contaminants available for TRI reporting (nearly 800), organizations often feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gMtkfCmV

A gasoline station with gasoline and waste oil contamination was remediated by our team at Cameron-Cole to the regulatory acceptable standards using in Situ Bioremediation technology. "Within one year of the initiation of the remediation system, the concentrations of oil and grease were reduced to 79 mg/kg (PPM). This represents a 99.6% reduction in contaminant concentrations."

?? FAQ: What is a Phase 1 ESA? "All Appropriate Inquiries" or AAI, is the process of evaluating a property’s environmental conditions and assessing potential liability for any contamination. It describes a legal standard established by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that must be met by any party who may potentially claim protection from #CERCLA liability as an innocent landowner, a bona fide prospective purchaser, or a contiguous property owner.?These defenses limit a purchaser’s liability for historic contamination that predates their ownership. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a specific type of environmental investigation that when properly conducted, has been determined by U.S. EPA to meet the requirements of AAI.?The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Designation E1527-21 describes a Standard Practice for preparing Phase I ESA’s that is refenced in 40 CFR Part 312 as fulfilling AAI.
