Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in St. Catharines
Financing and transaction work generally uses CSA Z768-01; O. Reg. 153/04 is required where a Record of Site Condition, rezoning or permit is involved.
We review St. Catharines properties under a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment combining a records review, on-site observation and interviews, with no soil or water sampling at this stage. Because our Vaughan head office is 73 km or so away, getting to site doesn't add cost or delay.
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 St. Catharines.
