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.

For properties in Newmarket, we conduct Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments through document review, a site walk and interviews — non-intrusive, with no sampling done. We work from our Vaughan head office, about 29 km from Newmarket, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.

For the complete process and report structure, see the Phase 1 ESA page.
