Purpose of a Phase II Site Investigation
A Phase II site investigation is designed to verify and assess any potential environmental concerns identified during a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). This investigation dives deeper into specific areas of concern, providing detailed data about soil, groundwater, and other environmental components to determine the presence and extent of contamination.
Components of a Phase II Site Investigation
The investigation typically includes intrusive sampling and laboratory analysis of soil and groundwater, as well as other testing methods as necessary, such as air or surface water sampling. The goal is to gather precise information that will guide remediation strategies if contamination is confirmed.
How Phase II Builds on Phase I ESA
A Phase I ESA establishes the framework by identifying potential risks through historical research and site inspection. A Phase II site investigation builds on these findings by providing concrete data through testing and offering clarity and confirmation regarding the environmental condition of the property. This step is crucial for developing effective strategies to manage identified risks and for making informed real estate and lending decisions.
