Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Newmarket

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Newmarket?

It generally runs three to six weeks, mostly a function of drilling access and lab turnaround time.

How much does a Phase 2 ESA cost in Newmarket?

The number of boreholes, the lab analysis needed and site access all factor into cost. We quote a fixed price for a defined scope before we start.

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.
