Phase 2 Environmental Sampling Assessment (ESA) Services
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments to help property owners, developers, and investors make informed decisions about their real estate transactions or development projects. Our experienced environmental consultants adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our findings.
When Is a Phase II ESA Necessary?
A Phase II ESA is typically recommended when a Phase I ESA uncovers potential environmental concerns, such as:
Evidence of hazardous substances on-site (e.g., chemicals, petroleum products) Signs of past or current contamination, such as oil stains, leaking tanks, or improper waste disposal
- Concerns regarding underground storage tanks (USTS) or other infrastructure that could pose a risk to the environment
- Sites with a history of industrial, agricultural, or manufacturing activities that may have contributed to contamination
- Evidence of hazardous substances on-site (e.g., chemicals, petroleum products)
- Signs of past or current contamination, such as oil stains, leaking tanks, or improper waste disposal
Key Components of a Phase II ESA
Sampling and Analysis
We collect soil, groundwater, surface water, and air samples to detect contaminants like VOCs, heavy metals, and petroleum products, partnering with accredited labs for precise analysis.
Geophysical Survey
Our Phase I ESA reports are detalled and easy to understand, providing clear findings and actionable recommendations. If we identify any environmental concerns, we'll provide advice on the next steps, such as recommending further testing or investigating remediation options.
Health and Safety Considerations:
All procedures follow strict health and safety guidelines to protect both our team and clients from exposure to hazardous materials.
Targeted Testing
In some cases, geophysical methods are used to detect underground contamination or structures, such as buried tanks, before further excavation.
Regulatory Compliance:
We adhere to local, state, and federal regulations, ensuring all testing and sampling meet the required legal and environmental standards.
