A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a preliminary investigation to identify potential or existing environmental contamination liabilities at a property. It is typically conducted during real estate transactions to assess risks for buyers, lenders, or developers. Understanding a property’s historical use is critical to assessing environmental risks during acquisition.

When Recognized Environmental Concerns (RECs) are identified in a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), a limited site investigation is conducted. This investigation aims to determine whether the identified RECs are present on-site as contaminants in soil, water, or, if necessary, air samples. Upon completion of the investigation, the client gains a clearer understanding of the property's environmental condition.

Spills and accidents are common across many industries. Whether caused by a third party or an act of God, remediation work aims to restore the site to its natural state and comply with all state, federal, and tribal regulatory guidelines. Understanding the contaminants and their migration is essential for effective environmental remediation.

Many sites, including industrial ones, are subject to regulatory reporting requirements. Whether for discharge permits, air quality permits, produced water injection, or groundwater monitoring, we can assist you in identifying processes at your facility that require monitoring and reporting.
