Barrie properties are assessed here under a Phase 1 ESA that are prepared to CSA Z768-01 or O. Reg. 153/04, whichever the purpose calls for.
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in Barrie
For financing and transactions, CSA Z768-01 is the usual choice; O. Reg. 153/04 comes into play for RSC filings, rezonings and municipal applications.
We review Barrie properties under a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment through document review, a site walk and interviews — non-intrusive, with no sampling done. We work from our Vaughan head office, about 69 km from Barrie, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.
For the complete process and report structure, see the Phase 1 ESA page.
A Phase 2 ESA follows when a concern is identified — see our Phase 2 ESA page for Barrie.
