Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Niagara Falls

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.

For properties in Niagara Falls, we conduct intrusive Phase 2 assessments combining borehole drilling, sampling and lab testing to settle what a Phase 1 could only flag as a possibility. We attend from our Vaughan head office, 83 km or so away — close enough that a site visit is never the bottleneck.

For the complete process and report structure, see the Phase 2 ESA page.

A Phase 2 usually follows a Phase 1 — see our Phase 1 ESA page for Niagara Falls 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.
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 Niagara Falls

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Niagara Falls?

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 Niagara Falls?

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.
