Webinar Q&A: Trio Responds to ASTM E 1527-13 Questions

On March 28, 2013, I moderated an EDR Insight webinar titled Revisions to the ASTM E 1527 Standard: Three Insiders’ Perspectives, featuring a trio of ASTM Task Group members who shared their unique perspectives from the environmental, lending and legal sectors.

The three panelists were Paul Zovic, Senior Advisor at Endpoint Solutions, Daria Milburn, Vice President and Manager REVAL/Environmental Risk at SunTrust Bank and Christopher McCormack, Attorney with Pullman & Comley LLC.The presentations focused on the technical aspects of the revised standards, one lenders’ response and how the revisions tie into CERCLA liability protections and the AAI rule.One of the most interesting aspects of hosting an event this large was reviewing the questions submitted as Paul, Daria and Chris presented. More than 1,500 environmental consultants, risk managers, attorneys and other professionals tuned in, and the flood of questions that came in provide a first-hand look into how environmental professionals are reacting to the changes.The questions from the audience were more extensive than could be covered in the available timeframe, so I asked panelists to submit their answers, which are provided below with attribution to each speaker.To read through the questions that these industry experts addressed post-webinar, click here.Click here to watch a recap of the webinar.
