Reliance: Given that SBA requires third party reliance on Phase I ESAs performed on properties guaranteed by there 504 and 7(a) loan programs, should the E1527 standard be revised to include better guidance about who can rely on a Phase I report?
Oil Pollution Act: The Oil Pollution Act (OPA) was amended in 2004 to include a secured creditor exemption and innocent owner protection provided that an OPA regulation very similar to the CERCLA All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) rule is met.
Indoor Air Exclusion: Since the revision of the E2600 Standard on Vapor Encroachment, there have been many questions about when indoor air problems should be considered RECs during the Phase I ESA process. While the standard currently lists indoor air as a non-scope considerations, there may be instances when contamination encroaching on a property is both a release on the property and an indoor air problem.
