Common questions
Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Ottawa
How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Ottawa?
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 Ottawa?
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.
