Phase 1 ESAs in Niagara Falls are prepared here by way of records review, site reconnaissance and interviews, entirely non-intrusive at this stage. Our Vaughan head office, roughly 83 km away, means the site visit is straightforward rather than something we have to plan around.

The Phase 1 ESA page covers the full process and what the report contains.

A Phase 2 ESA follows when a concern is identified — see our Phase 2 ESA page for Niagara Falls.
