We understand the importance of helping the deal come together and strive to determine “real”environmental concerns and not raise red flags where none should exist and Phase II and I Environmental Site Assessment. As a result, only 15% of our Phase I site assessments end up requiring additional sampling or Phase II work. As one of the leading environmental consulting firms in California, ACC can provide the quick turn-around that is often required during the due diligence period of a real estate transaction.
The analysis, often called a Phase I ESA, typically addresses both the underlying land as well as physical improvements to the property; however, techniques applied in a Phase I ESA never include actual collection of physical samples or chemical analyses of any kind. Scrutiny of the land includes examination of potential soil contamination, Mold Training, groundwater quality and sometimes issues related to hazardous of Lead-based paint training. The examination of a site may include: definition of any chemical residues within structures; identification of possible Lead-based paint containing building materials; inventory of hazardous substances stored or used on site; assessment of Managing asbestos; and evaluation of other Indoor air quality testing. The purpose of a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is to determine the specific contaminates, the extent of surface or subsurface migration, and any resulting environmental or health risks.
Phase II Site Assessments services include:
Sampling of soil, groundwater, air and building materials and.
Field screening soil samples with portable gas chromatographs and organic vapor analyzers to accurately characterize the site and reduce the number of samples requiring analysis by a laboratory.
Performing geophysical surveys to define subsurface contaminant plumes and identify suitable locations for soil borings and groundwater monitoring wells.
