EnviroTech - Phase II Environmental Site Assessments


A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) investigates areas of concern identified in a Phase I ESA, in order to more clearly evaluate the true liability associated with a property.


EnviroTech has full service Phase II ESA capabilities. The firm can perform quality services to acquire accurate results in an expedient manner. State-of-the-art equipment allows for fast, efficient sample and data collection.

 

Phase II ESA services performed by EnviroTech include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  • Subsurface soil sampling
  • Groundwater sampling (monitoring wells and Geoprobe)
  • Leaching pool/underground injection well sampling
  • Surface water sampling
  • Asbestos sampling
  • Lead paint and dust sampling
  • SPDES sampling
  • Tank testing
  • Geophysical surveying
  • Flow studies

 

All analytical work is performed by an independent Federal and State certified commercial laboratory.
All staff members have Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) forty-hour training. Supervisors are certified by the USEPA for sampling hazardous materials. Asbestos and lead sampling is performed by certified technicians.


The cost to complete a Phase II ESA can range from $500 to $500,000. The exact scope is dependent upon the number of conditions identified from the performance of a Phase I ESA.
