PFAS Part 2: Scoping Strategies for Phase IIs

In Part 1 of our PFAS Due Diligence Scoping series in December, experts discussed the key technical and legal issues for EPs and Users when considering whether to include PFAS in their Phase I ESA scope of work per ASTM E1527-21. In Part 2, panelists take the discussion a step further and give attendees practical guidance on what to consider if the Phase I ESA identifies a likely PFAS condition.

Watch the on-demand webinar to hear from an experienced EP and attorney as they share timely advice on Phase II investigation strategies and how to address possible outcomes, including:

• Evaluating Phase I ESA findings and conclusions: what triggers a Phase II? Are any sites “automatic Phase IIs”? 
• What kind of PFAS tests are available? And how low should we go with limits of detection? 
• Are the methods and costs similar to investigations of more common chemicals? 
• How do disclosure rules impact decisions? 
• Are legal protections and cleanup funds available for PFAS? 
• How conclusive are the results and what do you do if PFAS are detected? 
• How is the presence of PFAS impacting commercial real estate transactions?
