EDR now offers historical aerial photo coverage for any site in the United States. The company, a national provider of current and historical property environmental risk data, owns one of the nation’s largest collections of aerial photography but coverage sometimes was limited to metropolitan areas. EDR now offers this nationwide coverage by supplementing its existing public and private collections with photos from the United States Geological Survey. Researched as part of a Phase I environmental site assessment, historical aerial photos and other historical sources such as Sanborn® Maps, color historical topographic maps and city directories, can provide such detail as a property’s former name and past land use. Environmental consultants can use the information to determine if a site’s past uses may have impacted its current environmental health. For more information, visit www.edrnet.com.
