Ever concerned with minimizing risk, most banks routinely scrutinize the commercial real estate (CRE) they accept as collateral. Within the past 15 years, strict federal, state and local environmental liability laws have sprung up, ensuring that environmental due diligence is now a typical component of the commercial-mortgage origination process. Recent calls from regulators for stricter risk-management practices in CRE underwriting, coupled with the EPA's new "All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI)" environmental rule, which took effect Nov 2005, have put the spotlight firmly on banks' risk-management practices, particularly environmental due diligence. Around one-third of commercial loan originations today undergo a Phase I environmental site assessment. In lending circles, awareness about the...

If the state adopts the licensing program, regulators would oversee it as well to ensure that only qualified firms and individuals participate, and that approvals by licensed professionals are consistent with state requirements, says Joseph Fallon, president of Environmental Liability Management in Princeton and a former DEP manager. "Costs for remediating are fairly stable, although to dig material out and haul it away is more expensive as the cost of diesel fuel rises," says Peter Sorge, of JM Sorge, Inc.\n One possible solution is to require the entity completing the cleanup to obtain an insurance policy which would provide this assurance.
