Phase 1 ESAs in Hamilton are prepared here to identify potential contamination through a records review, a site visit and interviews — without any sampling. Our Vaughan head office is some 71 km distant, 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 Hamilton.
