ASTM Training Course Instruction
Mr. Vieau has been a Member of ASTM International Committee E50 on Environmental Assessment, Subcommittee E50.02 on Commercial Real Estate, since 1991. Originally the American Society of Testing and Materials, ASTM International is the oldest and largest voluntary standards development organization in the world. ASTM Standard Practices E 1527 (Phase I Environmental Site Assessment) and E 1528 (Transaction Screen Process) were first published in 1993. In 1994, Mr. Vieau was selected as an Instructor for ASTM Technical & Professional Training, and helped develop and present a two-day course for the two Standards. In 1998, ASTM published the Standard Guide E 1903 Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Process, for which Mr. Vieau was enlisted to develop and present a new two-day course for the Phase II Standard. Mr. Vieau has been instrumental in revising the courses in response to revisions to the Standards, and most recently in response to the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002. A new 3-day course, combining the Phase I and Phase II Standards with EPA's all appropriate inquiry rule, is now offered. Mr. Vieau was also an invited contributor and official ASTM reviewer for the book entitled: Technical Aspects of Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessments, authored by Zdenek Hejzlar, PhD., published by ASTM, October 1999.
