The purpose of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) is to identify, to the extent feasible, recognized environmental condition with the subject property. Phase I ESA is the most frequently performed service in our environmental due diligence activity. The due diligence activities are performed when a real estate transaction is being considered. Phase I ESA report is frequently a required report for the lending institution.
Phase I ESAs are performed in general accordance with the ASTM procedure E1527-05 (Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments; Phase I).
If a site is considered contaminated, a Phase II environmental site assessment may be conducted.
InTEC has performed environmental site assessments for over 15 years in Texas.
What are typical Phase I ESA tasks?
What is not included in Phase I ESA?
Actual sampling of soil, air, groundwater, or building materials is not included. If a site is considered contaminated, a Phase II ESA may be conducted.
Phase I ESA for a standard small to medium size property is routinely completed in 10 business days. Large properties or properties with long usage history can take longer time to complete.
Our costs for performing Phase I ESAs are competetive. The cost can vary depending upon the desired turnaround time and the nature of the property. Please contact us to discuss.
