Applied Service is a New Jersey certified laboratory for the Analyze Immediately parameters specified in the most current edition of the NJDEP's Field Sampling Procedures Manual. The NJDEP requires that these parameters are recorded and monitored by firms certified by the NJDEP as licensed laboratories. Applied Service can provide certified lab services during monitoring and temporary well sampling events.

The purpose of due diligence is to help you minimize risks and protect yourself from liability associated with real estate and other business transactions. When completed successfully, and by experts, you can confidently manage the acquisition of Brownfield sites as well as transfer in ownership of multifamily, commercial, and industrial real estate.

The staff at Applied Service can help you identify the "recognized environmental conditions" that may present a risk or potential liability. Our strengths include a strong foundation in regulatory analysis, an ability to understand the unique characteristics of property transfers and familiarity with the complexities of executing the due diligence disclosures are presented in a clear, concise, and complete report without speculation. We provide an independent, professional opinion of any recognized environmental conditions and potential liabilities associated with the property you are purchasing.

All Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I ESAs) are performed in accordance with the most current ASTM standards (ASTM E1527-05). Each assessment includes a review of the property's historical and present use; definition of the site geology and hydrogeology; environmental database reviews of the property and its vicinity; and a visual reconnaissance of the property. All Appropriate Inquiries (AAl) are made according to ASTM's standards as well as the USEPA'S final rule with respect to conducting inquiries into the previous ownership, uses, and environmental conditions of a property. A complete historical use evaluation of the property in accordance with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP's) preliminary Assessment specifications outlined in the Technical Requirements For Site Remediation (Tech Reg's), N.J.A.C. 7:26E can also be provided upon request. Once the information is gathered and compiled, Applied service presents you with a written report that identifies any recognized environmental conditions. This report will indicate whether there are any conditions that require further investigation. The scope of work may be tailored to fit the requirements of your lending institution or real estate attorney by adding investigations for asbestos, radon, flood-prone areas, wetlands or any other non-scope issues.

Once recognized environmental conditions have been identified in the Phase IESA process, further investigation may be warranted. The Phase ll Environmental Site Assessment (Phase ll ESA) is a more detailed investigation involving chemical analysis for hazardous substances and/or petroleum hydrocarbons. During this investigative stage, Applied service follows all sampling guidelines and quality assurance/quality control procedures required by local, state, and federal regulatory authorities.

A Phase ll ESA may involve the sampling and laboratory analysis of soil, ground water and/or any other recognized environmental conditions that may be of concern, like asbestos, PCBs or lead-based paint. All sampling is performed in accordance with industry protocol and conclusions are drawn from the data collected. If the Phase ll ESA identifies conditions that may require remediation, Applied Service includes these recommendations within the Phase ll ESA Report.
