This is known as recognized environmental conditions or the likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in or on a real estate property.

A Phase I ESA includes a review of environmental records from federal, tribal, state, and local agencies, site inspection, and interviews with owners, occupants, operators, neighbors and local government officials.
