Client Challenge
A long-time client and major petroleum marketer is pursuing a real estate transaction that would result in the sale of more than 1,200 active retail service station properties across the United States. As a requirement of the sales agreement, the client needed to conduct a Phase I environmental site assessment (ESA) for each site within an 11-week period. The properties ranged in size and geography, including service stations along major toll roads and interstates, rural roads, and busy, urban locations.
