An Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) is a meticulous assessment used primarily in federal property transfers to document a site’s environmental condition at a specific point in time. It helps identify and quantify potential liabilities – such as contamination, hazardous substances, or petroleum products – ensuring informed decisions during property transfers, leases, or redevelopment planning.
At EGS, we deliver comprehensive EBS services aligned with DoD and CERCLA requirements, including:
- Thorough records evaluation and site history review, encompassing prior uses, environmental incidents, and surrounding properties.
- Rigorous documentation suitable for Findings of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) or Lease (FOSL), including property maps, environmental restriction summaries, agency notifications, and risk determinations.
- Flexible application – whether supporting federal mandates, compliance with environmental statutes, or facilitating land redevelopment with transparency and confidence.
