Our Assessment Services
Comprehensive environmental assessments to protect your investment and ensure regulatory compliance.
Phase I ESA
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment identifies potential or existing environmental contamination liabilities through records review, site reconnaissance, and interviews. This non-invasive assessment is the first step in environmental due diligence for property transactions.
- Historical records review
- Site reconnaissance & inspection
- Regulatory database search
- Interviews with owners & occupants
- Written report with findings
Phase II ESA
When a Phase I ESA identifies recognized environmental conditions, a Phase II assessment involves sampling and laboratory analysis to confirm the presence or absence of contamination. This investigation provides the data needed to make informed decisions.
- Soil and groundwater sampling
- Laboratory analysis of samples
- Contamination delineation
- Risk assessment & evaluation
- Remediation recommendations
Transaction Screen Assessments
A Transaction Screen Assessment (TSA) is a preliminary evaluation that provides a cost-effective way to identify potential environmental concerns associated with a property. TSAs are ideal for lower-risk properties where a full Phase I may not be warranted.
- Property & area review
- Environmental database check
- Site visit & visual inspection
- Owner/occupant questionnaire
- Summary report with recommendations
