Model PHASE II -Environmental Site Assessments

Often Phase I ESAs identify environmental concerns related to historical property use or activities on nearby properties that require additional investigation before a determination can be made regarding the environmental condition of a property. In these instances, a Phase II ESA is recommended. The environmental concerns addressed may include asbestos, lead-based paint, radon or other indoor air quality issues. However, most Phase II ESAs are performed because of potential subsurface impact to the Property from the use or storage of chemicals and petroleum products and involve the installation of soil borings using a hydraulic probe or rotary drill rig and the collection of soil and groundwater samples.
