Explanation
Environmental due diligence for Idaho commercial transactions typically involves: a Phase I ESA (records review, site walk, interviews) to identify recognized environmental conditions; and if RECs are found, a Phase II ESA (soil and groundwater sampling). Proper due diligence protects buyers from inheriting cleanup liability and provides CERCLA innocent landowner protection.
