Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Services

A Phase II is conducted on site-specific property when Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) have been found during the course of a Phase I ESA. The Phase II is very site-specific and the sampling can vary widely depending on the geography and type of media that is potentially affected. Samples typically consist of groundwater, soil, or soil vapor/soil gas. Samples are sent to a lab and typically analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs), and/or metals. When these compounds are present at concentrations less than the specified state criteria/screening levels, the Phase II is complete. If compounds are present at concentrations above the specified state criteria, either remediation of the property is next, or as is the case within Michigan, a Baseline Environmental Assessment is completed along with a Due Care Plan/Continuing Obligations (DCP/CO).
