Transaction Screen

The Transaction Screen Process is the simplest method of evaluating a property for environmental concerns; however, it does not provide EPA liability protection. The user of a property, his or her agent, or an environmental professional can conduct the transaction screen. The Transaction Screen Questionnaire guides the process, which includes:

• Interviewing the owners and occupants of the property.

• Observing the site in person to look for specific evidence of possible environmental contamination.

• Researching government and historical records to identify sources of environmental contamination that could affect the property, and look for evidence of past industrial activities.
