Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) give you a clear picture of environmental conditions and potential liabilities tied to a property, so you can make confident decisions before purchasing, developing, refinancing, or renovating.

Phase I ESA is the first step and focuses on identifying Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs). It combines historical and regulatory records review, a thorough site walk-through, and interviews to document current and past land use and evaluate concerns that may affect financing or project feasibility.

When Phase I findings indicate possible impacts, a Phase II ESA provides confirmation through targeted field testing. Soil, soil vapor, and groundwater samples are collected and analyzed to determine whether contamination is present, what chemicals are involved, and the extent of the affected area.

If impacts are verified, Phase III services support response planning and corrective action, ranging from risk management strategies to active cleanup so that the site can move toward compliance and safe reuse.

For properties requiring cleanup, we provide end-to-end soil and groundwater remediation support. Our team evaluates practical options such as excavation and off-site disposal, in-situ treatment, vapor mitigation systems, and groundwater management measures, selecting an approach aligned with your timeline, site constraints, and regulatory requirements. We coordinate sampling plans, contractor scopes, and agency communication, and deliver clear documentation that demonstrates progress toward closure. The result is reduced risk, protected occupants, safeguarded groundwater, and a property that’s ready for successful redevelopment.
