Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Oshawa

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Oshawa?

Three to six weeks is typical, depending on site access for drilling and how long lab results take.

How much does a Phase 2 ESA cost in Oshawa?

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.
