The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC), which is the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the property being evaluated (as defined by ASTM E1527-21). When a Phase I ESA identifies the likely presences of a REC, which could be in the form of asbestos, lead based paint, potentially contaminated groundwater, soil, or intrusive soil gasses, or a host of other conditions, most lenders or investors want to confirm if those conditions actually exist. The Phase II ESA picks up to verify what the Phase I ESA has identified as a potential REC. The Phase II ESA does this by collecting physical samples of the media suspected to be impacted and sending those samples to a laboratory for analysis. Whether those samples are collected from suspect vinyl flooring, old peeling paint, or from soil or groundwater samples recovered by a drill rig, the information gained from a Phase II ESA help form the basis for making sound investment decisions.
The scope of work for every Phase II ESA is as unique as the site they characterize and are created based upon the RECs identified in the Phase I ESA. Because of this, there is no “cookie cutter” scope of work for Phase II ESAs. Each Phase II ESA is specifically and uniquely designed for each individual site and client.
