Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Cornwall

Transactions and due diligence typically use CSA Z769; O. Reg. 153/04 is required where a Record of Site Condition or permit is involved.

For properties in Cornwall, we conduct intrusive Phase 2 assessments through on-site drilling, soil and groundwater sampling, and laboratory confirmation of what's actually present. We work from our Ottawa office, some 88 km distant, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.

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 Cornwall if that step hasn't happened yet.

What triggers a Phase 2 ESA

A documented history of any of these usually points to a Phase 2.

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.
Vehicle service or fuel salesA history of auto repair or fuel retailing points strongly toward soil or groundwater impact.
Industrial or manufacturing useLegacy industrial operations often leave contamination worth confirming before it's relied on.

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Cornwall

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Cornwall?

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 Cornwall?

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?

Transactions and due diligence typically use CSA Z769; O. Reg. 153/04 is required where a Record of Site Condition or permit is involved.

Does a Phase 2 always follow a Phase 1?

Typically yes — the point of a Phase 2 is to confirm a Phase 1's findings, though a documented issue like a known spill can skip straight to it.
