Performing a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment requires research, investigation, and observation combined with a thorough knowledge of the ASTM standard to evaluate the environmental conditions of a subject property. This training course was designed to introduce newer environmental professionals to CERCLA, associated environmental regulations, and the ASTM standard. It will show them how to navigate the commonly used resources and identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs), and what must be included in the final report. Students will learn practical skills through the use of an example project.

This short course is a detailed primer to help consultants use maps during the environmental site assessment process. Ann Winegar, President of EnviroLearn, describes the different types of maps that are typically available, and demonstrates skills like measuring and finding distances. This course is free for students who have already purchased the "Performing a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment" course.
