Overview: Caltha LLP conducted a Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment for this commercial property located in a historic downtown district of a southern Minnesota city. Phase 2 was conducted to meet the requirements of the Bank and the Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 Loan Program.

The testing was conducted in accordance with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)  "Vapor Intrusion Assessments Performed During Site Investigations. Guidance Document 4-01a.

The Phase 1 environmental also included a Tier I Vapor Encroachment Screening Assessment conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard E2600-10.
