About
Under the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994, Part 201, as amended, a new owner of a property that is contaminated can submit a Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA), establishing an exemption from existing contamination. The BEA is submitted to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) following an All Appropriate Inquiry Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) in compliance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 312 or Phase I ESA in compliance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E1527-13 Standard and a Phase II ESA establishing that the site is contaminated, within 45 days of acquiring the property.
Why?
Protecting purchasers and users of real estate from liability for existing contamination, at the time of a real estate transaction, is a valuable service and an integral part of the property transfer process in the State of Michigan.
