First Environmental Assessment Company of Phase I Sites

-

 

The phase I environmental site assessment (ESA) forms the basis of any responsible redevelopment project and offers legal protection for environmental liability, which is important for every landowner. The site environmental assessment aims to find contaminants, hazardous substances, or pollutants that may threaten the health of the site environment and public health. By examining historic and contemporary site documentation, a site assessment can help identify potential areas of environmental concern.

Whenever potential site contamination is suspected, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that a Phase I site environmental assessment should be conducted. In practice, however, it is best to assume that any site may contain hidden contaminants from any stage of its historical commercial or industrial use.

What are the phases of the Phase I Site Environmental Assessment?

  • Review of environmental and historical documents

  • Site inspection

  • Reports of surrounding locations

  • Meetings with former owners and people with specific knowledge of the area and the site

Each of the above steps can help you uncover important information that affects your site recovery plan. When the Phase I Site Environmental Assessment identifies a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC), then sampling becomes imperative and emerging contaminants are a concern requiring further investigation. This type of follow-up investigation is also referred to as Phase II ESA.

The success of the restoration depends on strong partnerships. If your municipality is undertaking rehabilitation projects, contact Fulcrum's experts to determine when a Phase I site environmental assessment is required.

We are in a time of rapid change in our industry, which is pushing us to better understand our complex and challenging sites through the use of innovative and sustainable remedial strategies and technologies. Emerging contaminants, evolving regulatory focus, transformational data acquisition and augmented reality visualization are re-shaping the environmental remediation , and we need to both drive and respond to these factors. Efforts of the government to determine the toxicity, bioaccumulation, and persistence of pollutants are well underway. There are a number of environmental companies in the USA that are working towards remedial landscape. To help with natural remediation, the organizations help wipe out radiation sources so as to help secure the environment. When a site is associated with contamination, there is a call for evaluation of the contamination. The environment assessment company manage the assessment system and the type of sampling and chemical tests to be c
