Common questions
Answers to a few common questions about environmental site assessment services.
When is a Phase I ESA needed?
A Phase I ESA is commonly requested during property acquisition, financing, refinancing, redevelopment, or internal risk review when a client needs a clearer understanding of potential environmental liability.
What does the assessment include?
Typical scope includes records review, regulatory database research, site reconnaissance, interviews, and evaluation of historical and current site conditions in accordance with the project needs and applicable standards.
Do you work on industrial and commercial sites?
Yes. We support a range of property types, including commercial facilities, industrial properties, development sites, and public-sector projects across the United States.
What happens if concerns are identified?
If potential concerns are identified, we explain the findings clearly and outline practical next steps, which may include targeted sampling, agency coordination, remediation planning, or additional due diligence.
