An Environmental Record Review (ERR) involves a search of records related to solid waste disposal, hazardous materials, on-site wastewater treatment systems, methamphetamine labs, and hazardous material spills or waste releases. Reviews may be conducted as part of a commercial real estate transaction to determine if the property has been subject to recognized environmental conditions or hazards.
