What is involved in a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment?

At ERI Consulting, our objective is to create a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) that identifies any current or historical environmental issues that may affect the value or usability of your property.

The assessment process typically includes the following:

Site Inspection

A visual examination of the property and its surroundings to identify potential environmental hazards.

Records Review

Review of historical and current records of the property, such as previous environmental assessments, aerial photos, and topographical maps.

Interviews

Discussions with current and past property owners, occupants, and local authorities to gather information about the property's history and any known environmental issues.

Database Searches

Researching databases and regulatory agencies for information about the property and its surrounding area, including hazardous waste sites, underground storage tanks, and past spills or releases.

Evaluation of Findings

The evaluation of the information gathered during the assessment to determine the presence or potential for environmental hazards and the need for further investigation.

At ERI Consulting, our final Phase I ESA report offers a comprehensive evaluation of the property's environmental risks and includes recommendations for further action if needed. With our experienced local professionals, you can trust that you will receive reliable data. Contact us today for more information.

How Long Does a Phase I ESA Remain Valid?

The duration for which a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is considered valid depends on several factors, including the type of property, level of risk, and local regulations. Typically, a Phase I ESA is considered valid for one to two years from the date of completion.

However, it's important to keep in mind that environmental conditions can change over time, and a property that was previously considered low-risk may become contaminated. Additionally, new environmental regulations and guidelines may also impact the validity of the assessment.

In some cases, a Phase I ESA may need to be updated or repeated to reflect new information or changes in environmental conditions. This is particularly important for properties with a high level of risk or transactions that require a higher level of due diligence.

It's important to note that the validity period of a Phase I ESA can vary based on the specific circumstances of each property and is not fixed.
