Phase 1 ESAs
The Phase 1 ESA involves a review of records, a site inspection, and interviews with owners, occupants, neighbors and local government officials. Phoenix personnel have performed hundreds of Phase 1 ESAs on industrial, commercial and residential properties undergoing transaction, financing, expansion or similar business circumstance. Phoenix understands that each situation is unique; therefore, we tailor our assessments to meet the needs of each client. The typical format of our Phase 1 ESA report follows the industry standard (ASTM E1527-13); however, client specific approaches that meet the particular guidelines of a lender or government agency may also be prepared.
Phoenix personnel also have significant experience evaluating Business Environmental Risks (BERs), such as:
- Mold,*
- Radon,
- Lead in Drinking Water,
- Environmental Regulatory Compliance,
- High-Voltage Powerlines,
- Cultural, Historic, and Archeological Resources, and
- Wetlands and Jurisdictional Waters
