Vapor Intrusion Concerns During NJ Due Diligence
Vapor intrusion concerns sometimes appear during commercial environmental due diligence in New Jersey.
For buyers, attorneys, and lenders, the biggest question is usually:
“What happens next?”
Vapor concerns can come from:
property history
nearby environmental cases
historic industrial operations
subsurface contamination concerns
This is one reason additional investigation may be recommended during a Phase II ESA process.
Why Vapor Concerns Come Up During Due Diligence
1. Historic Industrial Use
Older commercial sites may have environmental history connected to industrial operations.
2. Dry Cleaner History
Former dry cleaners are commonly reviewed during NJ environmental due diligence.
3. Nearby Contaminated Sites
Off-site environmental conditions can sometimes become part of transaction review.
4. NJDEP Environmental Concerns
Certain site conditions may trigger additional investigation discussions.
5. Subsurface Environmental Conditions
Environmental impacts beneath a site can sometimes create vapor-related concerns.
