Environmental Site Assessment Services

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report:
This initial report identifies any Recognized Environmental Condition (RECs) that may impact the value of your property.

Our Phase I Environmental Assessment Reporting procedures comply with the (ASTM E1527-13) standard. The report is prepared by our experienced Environmental Professionals and include the following:
  • A full property history
  • A Radius map search of all local, state, tribal and federal databases
  • Regulatory interviews of state and local government officials
  • Owner/occupant interviews – past and present – (if possible)
  • Site reconnaissance performed under the charge of an Environmental Professional – including property structures; periphery of the property; current and past uses of the property; obvious geologic, hydro-geologic and topographic conditions; roads; and potential hazardous substances
  • Non-scope considerations including radon and visual inspections of lead-based paint, asbestos and mold potential. The additional testing is not included in the basic report but can be conducted for an additional fee.
While this may sound complicated or confusing, we will help you to fully understand your report, and the conditions of the property before you make the final decision to follow through on your real estate investment.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Report:
If the Phase I Environmental Assessment Report determines that the property contains any concerns or Recognized Environmental Conditions, the more detailed Phase II Environmental Assessment Report  would be requested, which could require specific samples to be taken and sent for laboratory analysis.

A Phase II Environmental Assessment Report typically requires an investigation of what may be beneath the property surface. This could include any or all of the following;
  • Soil Sampling
  • Groundwater monitoring, sampling and analysis
  • Soil vapor/Sub slab soil gas testing
  • Ground penetrating radar
  • Characterization of hazardous chemicals

When Should You Ask For a Phase II Environmental Assessment Report?
  • If the property has had any underground storage tanks
  • If the Existing underground storage tanks are old or past their designed use life expectancy
  • If there is clear evidence of a material or liquid spill of any hazardous substance such as a leaking drum, tank,  or container

​Some typical examples of property uses that require further analysis are:
  • Dry cleaners
  • Plating Facilities
  • Gas Stations
  • Auto Repair shops
  • Lumber Yards
  • Any other industrial facilities that may have used chemicals or other hazardous substances.
