2. Agency File Retrieval Service
A confidential, fast, and cost effective document
retrieval service. Agency files for your property are
accessed by a local, certified EDR Advisory
Partner, scanned, and delivered to you for review, all
for a fixed cost.

7. Tank Closure
• Example: EP’s use agency
files to confirm closure of a
tank and/or to learn details
about the
closure, particularly whether
the closure included
excavation and remediation.
Also, the standards to which
it was remediated suggest
whether residual
contamination was left in
place.
