For properties in Midland, we conduct intrusive Phase 2 assessments using intrusive drilling, sampling and lab analysis to confirm what a Phase 1 review has flagged. We attend from our Vaughan head office, some 112 km distant — close enough that a site visit is never the bottleneck.

The Phase 2 ESA page covers the full process and what the report contains.

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

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Midland

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Midland?

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 Midland?

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?

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.
