Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in Cambridge
For properties in Cambridge, our Phase 1 ESAs are prepared to CSA Z768-01 or O. Reg. 153/04, whichever the purpose calls for.
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in Cambridge
CSA Z768-01 is typical for financing and transactions; O. Reg. 153/04 applies where the outcome feeds a Record of Site Condition, a rezoning, or a municipal application.
We review Cambridge properties under a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment using records review, a site visit and interviews to flag potential contamination, with no sampling involved at this stage. Our Vaughan head office is about 87 km from Cambridge, which keeps site visits simple rather than a line item on the invoice.
Full detail on the process and what's in the report is on the Phase 1 ESA page.
A Phase 2 ESA follows when a concern is identified — see our Phase 2 ESA page for Cambridge.
