LEFT: Phase II Assessments typically involve collecting soil, groundwater and air samples to further evaluate the potential environmental risks.
Phase I ESAs often identify additional areas of concern, requiring a closer evaluation. Phase II Assessments often include the collection of samples of various media and using the results of laboratory analyses to provide the client with an evaluation of regulatory compliance or environmental risk.
The decision to move from the ESA to Phase II is not as easy as it may appear. Regulatory reporting requirements and third party liability issues should be thoroughly evaluated by an experienced consultant prior to collection of data. With a senior team of highly experienced professionals, Shield is positioned to protect our clients through a wealth of knowledge gained from thousands of project experiences.
