We carry out Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Vaughan using intrusive drilling, sampling and lab analysis to confirm what a Phase 1 review has flagged. Our Vaughan head office, some 8 km distant, means the site visit is straightforward rather than something we have to plan around.

Full detail on the process and what's in the report is on the Phase 2 ESA page.

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

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Vaughan

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Vaughan?

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 Vaughan?

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?

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?

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.
