PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS

In the event that a Phase I ESA indicates the presence of significant Recognized Environmental Conditions, a Phase II ESA may be recommended.  

Phase II ESAs typically consist of a more "hands on" approach to determining the presence of contamination in the most likely areas of contamination (e.g., tank graves, former building areas, etc.).

Depending on Site information, a Phase II ESA could consist in part of the following:

  • A Metal Detector and Line Tracing Survey;

  • A Ground Penetrating Radar Survey;

  • Conducting Test Pits;

  • Installation of Soil Borings; 

  • Installation of Groundwater Monitoring Wells;

  • Installation of Soil Vapor Sample Points; and/or

  • Installation of Sub-Slab Vapor Sample Points.

The aforementioned work would facilitate the collection of soil, groundwater, and/or vapor samples for analyses at a licensed laboratory.  These results would be compared to set State and/or Federal Standards.
