CAPABILITIES / ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS
Environmental Site Assessments
Rigorous sampling and remediation roadmaps for property acquisition and liability management.
THE CHALLENGE
Property transactions carry significant environmental liability. Inadequate due diligence can lead to unforeseen remediation costs and legal exposure. We provide ASTM-compliant assessments that withstand technical and legal scrutiny.
TECHNICAL FOCUS AREAS
PHASE I ESA
Comprehensive records review and site reconnaissance to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs).
- Historical records review (Sanborn maps, aerials)
- Regulatory database search
- Site reconnaissance and interviews
- ASTM E1527-21 compliance
PHASE II INVESTIGATION
Targeted sampling to confirm and quantify contamination identified in Phase I.
- Soil and groundwater sampling
- Laboratory analysis coordination
- Contaminant plume delineation
- Remediation cost estimation
SOIL VAPOR & MOLD
Assessment of indoor air quality risks from subsurface contaminants and moisture intrusion.
- Soil vapor sampling
- Moisture mapping
- Mold protocol development
- Mitigation system design
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Directed environmental hazard assessments for residential structures through the Climate READY program, establishing protocols for:
- Rapid hazard identification
- Resident communication and safety
- Intervention effectiveness monitoring
