Environmental Due Diligence & Risk Management

The Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Update is performed in order to update a previous ESA performed at a property. Utilized to reflect current site conditions and changes since the preparation of the original report(s).

The scope of work for the update of a Phase 1 Site Assessment includes an onsite reconnaissance of the property supplemented by a review of available environmental records concerning the property and surrounding areas and a review of a previous Phase One Environmental Site Assessment. The inspection will be supplemented by a review of the environmental history of the property through a computerized database search of the files maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the state agency and other appropriate agencies deemed necessary to further evaluate potential concerns.

Following completion of these activities, a written letter report is prepared that describes the work performed and presents conclusions regarding the environmental conditions at the site. Areas of concern noted during the reconnaissance or identified during the record search are addressed and their known characteristics presented.

NOTE: The Phase One Environmental Site Assessment Update does not provide the same level of environmental due diligence and will not be in accordance with the U.S. EPA All Appropriate Inquiry standard.
