Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Richmond Hill

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Richmond Hill?

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 Richmond Hill?

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?

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.
