Full Assessments of Work Sites
Phase I ESAs are the first step in analyzing a piece of property before development (or redevelopment) work can begin. These assessments begin with a visit to the site to observe both current and evidence of past uses of the property and any adjacent properties. Assessors also examine federal, state and local databases relating to storage tanks, hazardous substance storage and disposal and other historical records. The goal is to gather as much information as possible about the property prior to purchase to allow the client to make informed decisions regarding potential liabilities associated with past use.
Phase II ESAs are the next step after a Phase I ESA, if that Phase I assessment identified possible environmental concerns at a site that require further investigation. During a Phase II ESA, scientists test the soil, groundwater and/or soil gas to determine whether a property has been impacted by past uses, and to potentially determine a scope of work moving forward.
