ASTM has issued a new standard dealing with Continuing Obligations for contaminated properties -- what to do after a Phase 1 identifies recognized environmental conditions that are not all fully remediated.   More information on the standard can be found at:  www.astm.org/Standards/E2790.htm  The standard is intended to provide procedures to help users satisfy continuing obligations applicable to CERCLA's "innocent landowner", "contiguous property owner" and "bona fide prospective purchaser" protections.
