We are always looking for ways to improve the accuracy and completeness of our flagship product, the EDR Radius Map report. So, when we were thinking about important information that might not make it into a normal government records search, but is critical for helping environmental professionals identify RECs, we thought about how historical sources like city directories might be integrated into database reports.

A recent update to Adobe Reader, the program most commonly used to view PDF files, is causing viewing problems for some of you. The latest version of Adobe Reader (10.1.4) has some issues with JPG2000 compression that will make it difficult to view compressed, high resolution images files- like EDR Sanborn Maps. Specifically, the zoom feature can become disabled for certain images.

As more information becomes available on state environmental agency websites, the data compiled in your EDR Radius Map Report is becoming even more powerful. States like California, Florida and Texas are digitizing their environmental records, making access to this information easier than ever for environmental consultants, but at the same time adding to the amount of information that might need to be reviewed in order to meet ASTM E1527’s “reasonably ascertainable” and “practically reviewable” thresholds.

In the spring of 2012, EDR acquired a collection of over 3,000 historical city directory books, many which are the only remaining copy and were set to be disposed of forever. We are scanning and preserving these important historical records for future generations, while bringing information on past property use to environmental consultants more quickly than ever before. Watch what happens when 3,000 books arrive at EDR headquarters in Milford, CT. All hands on deck!

You probably know that ASTM E1527-05 includes language regarding the currency of government records searched as part of a Phase I ESA. But, did you know that E1527 also requires that updates to government data be documented by the database company?
