| Natural resource agencies are often required to conduct an initial, "Level I" Environmental Site Assessment of land for contaminants and similar hazards before a purchase, transfer, or other circumstances involving land ownership or management. This course provides training on the legal authorities, agency requirements, and methodologies to complete a Level I Environmental Site Assessment for land acquisition, transfer, disposal, or cooperative agreements. Participants identify sources of background information, including maps, aerial photographs, databases, and environmental documents. Instruction also helps participants recognize common contaminants of concern, identify potential hazards, and develop strategies for conducting safe field investigations. |
