<br /> City Directory Abstract
<br /> Environmental Data Resources, Inc•'s (EDR) City Directory Abstract is a screening tool designed to
<br /> assist professionals in evaluating potential liability on a target property resulting from past activities.ASTM E 1527-00,
<br /> Sermon 7.3 on Historical Use
<br /> Information,identifies the prior use requirerrEenLs for a Phase I environmental site assessment.The ASTM
<br /> standard.requires a review of reasonably ascertainablestandard historical sources.Reasonably ascertainable means information
<br /> that is publicly available, obtainable from a source with reasonable time and cost constraints, and
<br /> practically reviewable.
<br /> To meet the prior use requirements of ASTM E 1527-00, Section 7.3.4,the following standard historical sources
<br /> may be used:aerial photographs,fire insurance maps,property fax files,land title records(although these cannot be the sole
<br /> historical source consulted),topographic maps,city directories,building department records,or zonineand use records.
<br /> ASTM E L527-00 requires '411 obvious uses of the property shall be ident f ed from the present, back to the property's
<br /> obvious firs,t developed acre,or back to 1940,whichever is earlier.This task requires reviewing only as many of the.standard historical
<br /> .sources as are=-.vary,and that are reasonably ascertainable and likely to be uwful."(ASTM E 1527-00,Section 7.3.4,page 12.)
<br /> EDR's City Directory Abstract includes a search and abstract of available city directory data.
<br /> City Directories
<br /> City directories have been published for cities and towns across the U.S.since the 1700s.Originally a list of residents,the
<br /> city directory developed into a sophisticated tool for locating individuals and businesses in a particular urban or suburban
<br /> t. area.Twentieth century directories are generally divided into three sections:a business index,a list of resident names and
<br /> addresses,and a street index.With each address,the directory lists the name of the resident or,if a business is operated
<br /> from this address,the name and type of business (if unclear from the name). While city directory coverage is
<br /> comprehensive for major cities,it may be spotty for rural areas and small towns.ASTM E 1527-00 specifies that a
<br /> LM "review of city directories(.standard historical sources)at less than approximately f ve year intervals is not required by
<br /> this practice."(ASTME 1527-00, Section 7.3.4,page 12)
<br /> NAICS(North American Industry Classification System)Codes
<br /> NAICS is a unique, all-new system for classifying business establishments. Adopted in 1997 to replace the
<br /> prior Standard Industry Classification (SIC) system, it is the system used by the statistical
<br /> agencies of the United States. I€ is the first economic classification system to be constructed based on a
<br /> single economic concept. To learn more about the background, the development and difference between
<br /> NAICS and SIC, visit the following Census website: http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naiesdev.htm.
