TerraCord Environmental Risk Record
We don't replace Phase I. We sequence the decision about whether to order it.
TerraCord is ASTM E1527-21 aligned screening — not a Phase I ESA. It tells you which sites deserve the Phase I budget, which need expanded scope, and which to walk away from. The record is defensible. The Phase I remains the lender-required gold standard for transactional decisions.
RISK CLASSIFICATION
80–100
Low Risk
Fast-track. Proceed to Phase I immediately. These sites close first.
65–79
Moderate
Standard path. Phase I on normal timeline. Budget for standard contingency.
40–64
Elevated
Expanded scope. Phase I with expanded scope. Budget for Phase II possibility.
0–39
Exposed
Pause or reprice. Identify exposure before committing Phase I spend.
THE PROBLEM
The environmental position either exists in the file or it doesn't.
If something surfaces post-close and there's no scored record, that's the gap — in the loan file, the transaction folder, the investment memo, the listing package.
THE PROOF
Deterministic.
EPA FRS, Environmental Quality Index, Superfund/SEMS, RCRA, NPDES, CAA, TRI, Brownfield/ACRES — all scored into a single risk state. Reproducible at any time, by anyone. SHA-256 sealed.
THE OUTCOME
A governance-grade PDF in minutes:
site risk score, 1-mile radius map, EPA program breakdown, Environmental Justice context, QOZ implications, exposure pathway analysis, development risk implications, and recommended next steps.
A record, not a replacement.
TerraCord doesn't replace Phase I ESA. It sequences the decision about whether to order one. A Phase I answers the question after you've committed. TerraCord answers it before — so you commission Phase I on the sites that need it, not every site in the pipeline.
HOW IT WORKS
01
Address
Enter any US property address. The engine geocodes the site and queries every EPA-regulated facility within a 1-mile radius.
02
Score
Deterministic scoring framework evaluates Superfund, RCRA, NPDES, CAA, TRI, Brownfield, and EJ signals. One composite risk score, one status.
03
Deliver
Sealed PDF: risk score, map, EPA breakdown, exposure pathways, development implications, QOZ context, recommended next steps. SHA-256 verified.
WHAT'S IN THE RECORD
1-Mile Radius Facility Scan
Every EPA-regulated facility within 1 mile — RCRA, NPDES, CAA, TRI, Superfund, Brownfield, ACRES.
Exposure Pathway Analysis
Air, surface water, soil/groundwater, and chronic toxics — each flagged active or inactive.
Environmental Justice & EQI
EJScreen and Environmental Quality Index overlay for regulatory and community signals.
Full Provenance & SHA-256
Every run is hashed, audit-ID stamped, and independently verifiable. Same address, same result.
Development Risk Implications
Plain-language risk read for diligence, financing, entitlement, and use restriction decisions.
Clear Scope & Limitations
Defensible boundaries — what the record covers, and where Phase I scoping is warranted.
