Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Toronto

CSA Z769 typically serves real estate transactions and due diligence; O. Reg. 153/04 applies where the outcome feeds a Record of Site Condition or a municipal application.

We carry out Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Toronto through on-site drilling, soil and groundwater sampling, and laboratory confirmation of what's actually present. We work from our Vaughan head office, 11 km or so away, so site attendance is straightforward rather than an added cost.

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 Toronto if that step hasn't happened yet.

What triggers a Phase 2 ESA

A documented history of any of these usually points to a Phase 2.

Dry cleaningA documented history of dry cleaning on or near the site is one of the most common triggers for a Phase 2.
Auto repair or fuel serviceAutomotive and gas station uses carry a real likelihood of soil or groundwater impact.
Manufacturing or industrial useFormer manufacturing sites often carry a legacy of contamination worth confirming.
Storage tanksAbove or underground storage tanks, present or historic, are a frequent reason for sampling.

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Toronto

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Toronto?

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 Toronto?

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 typically serves real estate transactions and due diligence; O. Reg. 153/04 applies where the outcome feeds a Record of Site Condition or a municipal application.

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.
