Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Whitby

Transactions and due diligence typically use CSA Z769; O. Reg. 153/04 is required where a Record of Site Condition or permit is involved.

We carry out Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Whitby with boreholes, monitoring wells and laboratory testing to confirm or rule out contamination flagged in a Phase 1. Site attendance is routine rather than a special trip, with our Vaughan head office 39 km or so away.

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 Whitby 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.

Underground storage tanksPresent or historic USTs are one of the most common reasons a Phase 2 is recommended.
Dry cleaning historySites with a documented dry cleaning history carry a real likelihood of solvent contamination.
Vehicle service or fuel salesA history of auto repair or fuel retailing points strongly toward soil or groundwater impact.
Industrial or manufacturing useLegacy industrial operations often leave contamination worth confirming before it's relied on.

Common questions

Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments in Whitby

How long does a Phase 2 ESA take in Whitby?

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 Whitby?

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?

Transactions and due diligence typically use CSA Z769; O. Reg. 153/04 is required where a Record of Site Condition or permit is involved.

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.
