What is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment aims to evaluate environmental risk and liability at a property. This type of assessment provides essential environmental due diligence for stakeholders and is usually required by lending institutions.
Important aspects of a Phase I include a file review at local and state agencies, an environmental records review from various databases, a site walk to identify potential environmental concerns, an interview with a representative of the parcel, and knowledge of the geologic setting of the property. We use this information to evaluate how historic and/or current actions at the site and surrounding areas may be affecting the property. A Phase I is a crucial first step in understanding the environmental risk. Our assessment is performed by an Environmental Professional to the most-current Phase I ESA standard (ASTM E1527-13).
