155274.22P, p. 6 3/1/2022 Manuals must be written by a State Licensed consultant. As such, the additional charge for those Manuals will be $795.00 per report for each property. All manuals can be initiated and delivered within ten (10) business days of your written request to proceed. Environmental Lien/AUL Search: If authorized; BVTA can assist the Client to meet the ASTM E 1527-21 Lien/AUL search requirements (Section 6 “User Responsibilities”) for a fee of $300 per deed. To complete this service, BVTA will engage a title professional to research reasonably ascertainable recorded land title records and lien records for the subject property that are filed under federal, state, tribal, or local law in an effort to discover any recorded Environmental Liens or Activity and Use Limitations (AULs) against the subject property. If it is determined during the course of the project that there are additional deeds which need to be included, then the client will be notified immediately and a fee not to exceed $300.00 per additional deed will be proposed. User/Owner Questionnaires: In order to qualify for one of the Landowner Liability Protections (LLPs) under All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) and ASTM 1527-21 the Owner (or Owner representative) of the subject property and the User must provide certain information to the environmental professional. Failure to provide this information could result in a determination that “all appropriate inquiry” is not complete. Under the Standard, the User is defined as the party seeking to use Practice E 1527 to complete an environmental site assessment of the subject property. A user may include, without limitation, a potential purchaser of property, a potential tenant of property, an owner of property, a lender, or a property manager. As a courtesy, BVTA has created User and Owner questionnaires with a list of these items that are needed and is attached to this proposal. The questionnaires assist the Environmental Professional in gathering information from the user that may be material to identifying recognized environmental conditions. These questionnaires should be completed and returned to BVTA within 2 to 3 business days. While completion of these questionnaires is completely optional, if BVTA does not receive the completed questionnaires, BVTA’s report will reflect the lack of the information as a Data Gap in the report. If the Environmental Professional determines that this data gap impedes their ability to determine whether Recognized Environmental Condition exists at the subject property, then the report will reflect the lack of completed questionnaires as a Significant Data Gap. Therefore, it is very important that these questionnaires are completed and returned prior to BVTA’s onsite assessment. ESA Shelf Life Provisions: Under the ASTM E 1527-21 standard, the report will be viable for up to 1 year, with the exception that the following five items will not be considered viable after 180 days and will require updating for subsequent use: • Interviews with owners, operators, and occupants; • Searches for recorded environmental cleanup liens (if applicable); • Reviews of federal, tribal, state, and local government records; (regulatory database report) • Visual inspections of the subject property and of adjoining properties; and • The declaration by the environmental professional responsible for the assessment. BVTA may grant subsequent reliance to prospective purchasers for up to 180 days from the earliest date of these components (assessment viability date), provided that the purchaser completes a new User Questionnaire disclosure to meet the requirements of ASTM E 1527-21. If the existing reports have already been finalized, a nominal fee for subsequent reissue of the report or a reliance letter will be proposed (typically $500). For subsequent users who do not need to meet the ASTM E 1527-21 shelf life provision (i.e. lenders), BVTA will grant subsequent reliance for a period of up to 1 year from the site visit date. If the report has exceeded the 180 day shelf life, BVTA will propose to update the report if required. Any subsequent reliance will require written authorization from the Client and BVTA.
