What is the difference between Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III Environmental Site Assessments?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report includes an inspection of the property, historical use research, analysis of local groundwater conditions and a review of nearby sites with environmental problems that might negatively impact the subject property. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment report consists of collecting soil and/or groundwater samples to determine if significant amounts and concentrations of contaminants exist at the property. A Phase III Environmental Site Assessment is the physical removal or remediation of known contaminants from a site.
