Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA’s) assess the existence of, or potential for site contamination based on non-intrusive investigative techniques. The procedure generally includes three components:
The results of a Phase I assessment may identify areas of potential concern which can be investigated further during a subsequent Phase II ESA. Phase II assessments involve sampling and testing to determine the presence or absence of contamination at the site, and may include testing of water, air, soil, building materials or other areas of concern identified in a Phase I ESA. Phase I and Phase II ESA’s are performed in accordance with the Canadian Standards Association. |
