Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments in Windsor
CSA Z768-01 is typical for financing and transactions; O. Reg. 153/04 applies where the outcome feeds a Record of Site Condition, a rezoning, or a municipal application.
For properties in Windsor, we conduct Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments combining a records review, on-site observation and interviews, with no soil or water sampling at this stage. We attend from our Vaughan head office, 337 km or so away — close enough that a site visit is never the bottleneck.
For the complete process and report structure, see the Phase 1 ESA page.
A Phase 2 ESA follows when a concern is identified — see our Phase 2 ESA page for Windsor.
