What does a Phase 1 environmental site assessment typically involve?

Conducting visual inspections only.
Conducting a thorough background review and on-site inspection.
Taking soil and water samples.
Implementing remedial actions based on findings.

The correct answer is: Conducting a thorough background review and on-site inspection.

A Phase 1 environmental site assessment typically involves conducting a thorough background review and on-site inspection. This process helps identify potential environmental risks or contamination on a property before any real estate transaction takes place. By reviewing historical records, conducting interviews, and examining the site in person, the assessor can evaluate the likelihood of contamination and determine if further investigation or remediation is necessary. Conducting visual inspections only (Option A) does not provide a comprehensive analysis of potential risks, while taking soil and water samples (Option C) and implementing remedial actions (Option D) are typically part of a Phase 2 assessment, which follows if issues are identified during the Phase 1 assessment.
