Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Peterborough

CSA Z769 generally covers transaction-driven work, while O. Reg. 153/04 applies to RSC filings, rezonings and municipal applications.

We carry out Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Peterborough through on-site drilling, soil and groundwater sampling, and laboratory confirmation of what's actually present. We work from our Vaughan head office, 105 km or so away, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.

The Phase 2 ESA page explains the process and the report in full.

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

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Peterborough

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Peterborough?

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 Peterborough?

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?

Usually, yes — a Phase 2 exists to confirm what a Phase 1 flags, but it can stand alone if a specific concern, like a known spill, is already documented.
