Phase I & Phase II
Environmental Site Assessment
Phase I & Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
An Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a fundamental and proactive measure to mitigate risks in any real estate transaction. Our team of experts specializes in conducting comprehensive and meticulous site assessments. We are dedicated to uncovering any environmental contaminants that may affect your property's value. With our focus on detail and precision, we ensure that your investment is safeguarded against both financial and physical environmental concerns.
Details of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, often known as a Phase I ESA, is an essential component in the evaluation of both current and past activities on a property during a commercial real estate transaction. The primary goal of this assessment is to determine whether these activities have adversely affected the soil or groundwater under the property, potentially posing risks to the environment or human health. Discovering such environmental issues can significantly impact the property’s value and may create liabilities for the lender and owner. Our team follows this process when conducting Phase I ESAs
Records Review
We complete an exhaustive review of public records to uncover any historical environmental concerns associated with the property.
Site Reconnaissance
Our experts perform a detailed site visit, inspecting the property for signs of environmental contamination or degradation.
Interviews
Engaging in conversations with present and past owners, operators, occupants, and local government officials, we gather firsthand information about the property.
Report Compilation
The findings from our assessments are compiled into a comprehensive written report, outlining any Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) and potential concerns.

Our clients range from developers and investors to banks, timber companies, and mining operators. Our approach is holistic, combining extensive field experience with a deep understanding of environmental regulations to provide reliable assessments.
When and Why to Proceed to a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
If the Phase I ESA identifies potential environmental risks, a Phase II ESA is recommended. This next step involves a more detailed examination to confirm the presence of environmental contamination and assess its extent.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment: In-Depth Analysis and Sampling
If a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment uncovers a Recognized Environmental Condition or suggests possible subsurface impacts at a site, it's common for clients to proceed with a Phase II ESA to investigate these potential impacts further.
During the Phase II ESA, CES conducts targeted sampling of soil, groundwater, and/or building materials. This phase involves: Collection of solid and liquid samples from suspected areas of contamination.
Laboratory analysis to determine the presence and concentrations of hazardous substances.
Detailed reporting of findings provides a clear understanding of any remedial actions.
