Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Barrie

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Barrie?

Typically three to six weeks from engagement, depending on drilling access, lab turnaround and the number of sample locations.

How much does a Phase 2 ESA cost in Barrie?

Cost is driven by the number of sample locations, lab work required, and site access, priced to a defined scope before work begins.

Which standard applies?

CSA Z769 generally covers transaction-driven work, while O. Reg. 153/04 applies to RSC filings, rezonings and municipal applications.

Does a Phase 2 always follow a Phase 1?

In most cases yes, since a Phase 2 confirms a Phase 1's findings — though a known issue, such as a documented spill, can justify going straight to Phase 2.
