RECs are most commonly identified by an

Environmental Professional during the performance

of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, or ESA,

of a property, prior to a sale or transfer. The ESA, and

the identification of RECs, is an integral part of thebuyer’s due diligence efforts and is generally

conducted towards providing the buyer with the

“innocent landowner, contiguous property owner, or

bona fide prospective purchaser” liability limitations

under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), or

Superfund.

Now while it seems obvious that any well-qualified

environmental professional would identify a

potential environmental problem area, or REC, on a

property (for example leaking oil drums, oil-stained

soil, old leaking fuel tank), not all EnvironmentalProfessionals see things the same way. One person’s

REC is another’s “other issue” or in some cases, not

identified as an issue at all.



Over the last several years I have conducted hundreds of Phase I ESAs and have reviewed hundreds moreESA reports prepared by Environmental Professionals from around the globe. During this time I have

often been surprised at what some Environmental Professional identify, or do not indentify, as RECs, and

what some might identify as “other issues” or may not even bother mentioning at all. The most common

example of this discrepancy in REC identification is that related to underground storage tanks, or USTs.

Is a legally installed, double-walled UST, outfitted with interstitial monitoring, overfill sensors, spill

devices and a state-of-the-art continuous leak detection monitor, installed at a properly licensed gas

station, a REC? Does this UST present a “material threat of a release”?
