Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Hamilton

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

In Hamilton, our Phase 2 ESA work covers with boreholes, monitoring wells and laboratory testing to confirm or rule out contamination flagged in a Phase 1. Site attendance is routine rather than a special trip, with our Vaughan head office about 71 km from Hamilton.

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 Hamilton 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.

Dry cleaningA documented history of dry cleaning on or near the site is one of the most common triggers for a Phase 2.
Auto repair or fuel serviceAutomotive and gas station uses carry a real likelihood of soil or groundwater impact.
Manufacturing or industrial useFormer manufacturing sites often carry a legacy of contamination worth confirming.
Storage tanksAbove or underground storage tanks, present or historic, are a frequent reason for sampling.

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Hamilton

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Hamilton?

Usually three to six weeks, driven by drilling access, laboratory turnaround and how many locations need sampling.

How much does a Phase 2 ESA cost in Hamilton?

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?

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?

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.
