Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in Richmond Hill
For Richmond Hill properties, our Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments follow CSA Z768-01 or O. Reg. 153/04, as the situation requires.
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in Richmond Hill
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 Richmond Hill properties under a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment to identify potential contamination through a records review, a site visit and interviews — without any sampling. We work from our Vaughan head office, some 9 km distant, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.
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 Richmond Hill.
