Overview: Caltha LLP conducted a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment for this property in Minnesota, historically used as a solid waste management operation and more recently as a solid waste transfer facility. The facility managed and stored mixed municipal solid wastes from residential, commercial, and light industrial sources. The primary objective of the environmental assessment was to ascertain whether waste residues remained on the property that could constitute Recognized Environmental Conditions and potentially affect the property's future use.

The Phase 1 environmental assessment also encompassed a Tier I Vapor Encroachment Screening Assessment conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard E2600-10. This screening assessment identified potential soil vapor encroachment risks for the property under evaluation.
