AHFA requires that a project-specific Environmental Site Assessment ("ESA") Phase I Report be submitted for each application by a qualified third-party Environmental Professional ("EP"). The forms should adhere to the following guidelines and requirements:

Draft 2017 Addendum B

A review and analysis was conducted of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA), submitted during the 2016 application round, pursuant to AHFA’s requirements set forth in the 2016 Environmental Policy Requirements (Addendum B).  As a result of the review, the findings were summarized and used during the development process of the proposed 2017 Addendum B.  The summaries are limited to the results of the 2016 Environmental Review process and may not be inclusive of all findings. This information is provided as an additional resource to avoid these specific mistakes in future Phase I ESA submissions.

AHFA encourages all applicants and environmental professionals to review the proposed 2017 Addendum B in its entirety and submit comments to [email protected] utilizing the commenting form below, no later than 5 p.m. (CST) November 10, 2016.  

The proposed 2017 Addendum B is subject to change until the final plan has been approved.
