The purpose of a Phase I Environmental Assessment (ESA) is to determine if Real Estate is or has been contaminated by solid or hazardous waste. The ESA involves a review of records, a site inspection, and interviews with owners, occupants, neighbors and local government officials.
Contamination can result from activities that took place on the site or come from activities at a nearby property. The records and interviews, at this stage, provide the best available information to determine that the site or properties surrounding the site have been classified as contaminated according to federal or state regulations. During this phase no intrusive data are collected from the site or surrounding properties. All information and records collected will be presented in a Report for your review.
The final step is a report generated under the industry standard that is accepted by banks and the Small Business Administration (SBA). Most Phase 1 ESAs come back fine, while others will identify what are called Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) which may need further investigation. That deeper dive to understand the RECs is called a Phase 2 ESA.
If a Phase I ESA identifies potential contamination of the site by hazardous materials, a Phase II ESA may
be conducted. The Phase II ESA includes sampling and laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of
hazardous materials. Some of the tests that may be performed include:
neighboring properties as well to determine the presence of contamination)
All information, data and laboratory analysis collected, will be presented in a Report for your review.
