Phase 1 & 2 Environmental Site Assessment
Environmental due diligence is often one of the most important early steps in property acquisition, redevelopment, financing, or change of use. Our team carries out Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments to help clients understand whether historical or existing site activities may have resulted in contamination concerns.
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment typically involves a review of property records, historical land use information, available regulatory data, and a site reconnaissance to identify actual or potential areas of environmental concern. Where the findings suggest a reasonable basis for further investigation, a Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment can be completed through targeted sampling and testing of soil, groundwater, or other relevant media.
Our work is intended to provide practical, decision-oriented information. We help clients understand the significance of the findings, possible implications for project planning, and whether additional delineation, risk assessment, remediation, or regulatory steps may be required before moving forward.
