Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Burlington

For transactions and due diligence, CSA Z769 is the usual standard; O. Reg. 153/04 governs work feeding into an RSC filing or a permit application.

Phase 2 ESAs for Burlington properties are handled here combining borehole drilling, sampling and lab testing to settle what a Phase 1 could only flag as a possibility. Our Vaughan head office is roughly 61 km away, which keeps site visits simple rather than a line item on the invoice.

Full detail on the process and what's in the report is on the Phase 2 ESA page.

A Phase 2 usually follows a Phase 1 — see our Phase 1 ESA page for Burlington if that step hasn't happened yet.

What triggers a Phase 2 ESA

Underground storage tanksPresent or historic USTs are one of the most common reasons a Phase 2 is recommended.
Dry cleaning historySites with a documented dry cleaning history carry a real likelihood of solvent contamination.

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Burlington

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Burlington?

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 Burlington?

It depends on the number of boreholes or wells, lab analysis required, and site access. We quote a fixed price for a defined scope before starting.

Which standard applies?

For transactions and due diligence, CSA Z769 is the usual standard; O. Reg. 153/04 governs work feeding into an RSC filing or a permit application.

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.
