Mr. Peter Jewett spoke at the Whatcom County Association of Realtors meeting in Bellingham, Washington on January 7, 2009.

Included in Mr. Jewett’s presentation was a discussion of the requirements for evaluating and documenting environmental due diligence for property transactions. The discussion included ASTM International requirements, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency All Appropriate Inquiry guidelines, and how Washington State Model Toxics Control Act cleanup regulations interact with these guidelines. Mr. Jewett also related his practical experience with the requirements of local and national lending institutions to the technical and legal aspects of conducting environmental due diligence.
