4.1 Uses—This practice is intended for use by DoD components and environmental professionals in order to facilitate EBS efforts. It is also intended for use by preparers and reviewers of environmental condition of property maps and EBS Reports used to support CERFA uncontaminated property identifications and property suitable for transfer by lease or by deed.

4.2 Clarifications on Use:

4.2.1 Use Not Limited to CERCLA—This practice is designed to assist the user in developing information about the environmental condition of a property and as such has utility for a wide range of persons, including those who may have no actual or potential CERCLA liability.

4.2.2 Residential Tenants/Purchasers and Others—No implication is intended that it is currently customary practice for residential tenants of multifamily residential buildings, tenants of single-family homes or other residential real estate, or purchasers of dwellings for one's own residential use, to conduct an EBS in connection with these transactions. Thus, these transactions are not included in the term commercial real estate transactions. Thus, although such property may be included within the scope of an EBS, their occupants shall not be treated as key site personnel with regard to the housing occupied for the purpose of conducting an EBS.

4.2.3 Site-Specific—This practice is site-specific in that it relates to assessment of environmental conditions of federal real property. Consequently, this practice does not address many additional issues raised in transactions such as purchases of business entities; or interests therein, or of their assets, that may well involve environmental liabilities pertaining to properties previously owned or operated or other off-site environmental liabilities.

4.3 Related Practices—See Practices E1527 and E1528.

4.4 Principles—The following principles are an integral part of this practice and all related practices and are intended to be referred to in resolving any ambiguity or exercising such discretion as is accorded the user or environmental professional in performing an EBS or in judging whether a user or environmental professional has conducted appropriate inquiry or has otherwise conducted an adequate EBS.

4.4.1 Uncertainty Not Eliminated—No EBS can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property. Performance of this practice is intended to reduce uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property to the minimum practicable level, but not eliminate such uncertainty altogether, as well as to recognize reasonable limits of time and cost for property information (see 7.1.3.2).

4.4.2 Not Exhaustive—Appropriate inquiry does not mean an exhaustive assessment of an uncontaminated property. There is a point at which the cost of information obtained or the time required to gather it outweighs the usefulness of the information and, in fact, may be a material detriment to the orderly completion of transactions. One of the purposes of this practice is to identify a balance between the competing goals of limiting the costs and time demands inherent in performing an EBS and the reduction of uncertainty about unknown c......
