We suspect of having asbestos in some old pipes and called an asbestos specialist from Healthy Environmental, Ontario.

Hi,i'm an environmental professional - doing compliance work for a manufacturing company (reporting on pollution).

The actuals have always been at the bottom end for us, but all takes is one property that needs a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment to put you at the other end.

Too much room for pollution from that same group of slick folks who convince people that wholesaling/flipping/landlording is the quickest way to untold wealth and the only finger you need to lift it the one that flips open the checkbook and writes a really big check for a really simple to follow formula.

These can be constructed for about $40/sf (including environmentally friendly septic), with the lot purchase/prep running about $20k.

That's humorous, "I only use light curry on an infrequent basis".Like a manufacturer promising they will only pollute the environment slowly over a long period of time.

Not knowing anything about development in your area, I can say that here in California, depending on the environmental reports, subdivision map, various approvals, engineering, approvals for utilities, etc. it could easily run into 2-5 years or more.

Environmental considerations?

Do you need environmental studies?

Lenders will definitely not move on it without such a letter.And yes, there is the possibility that you could be found liable in some way for the pollution (not necessarily for causing the original spill of course, but for any subsequent problems if the oil wasn't remediated), and perhaps the asbestos as well.
