Environmental Site Assessments (ESA's) are usually a requirement of lending institutions to determine environmental liability associated with a property.

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is an investigation that determines the potential for contamination of soil, water, buildings, etc. on a property. The process involves a thorough examination of current and past use of the site as well as surrounding activities. This includes reviewing historical information such as air photos, land titles, and site maps; obtaining government records; an onsite visit; and personal interviews.

In some cases, the findings of a Phase 1 ESA may determine that a Phase 2 is warranted. A Phase 2 ESA entails a more indepth investigation of the site and can include a drilling program and soil and groundwater analysis.

Green Plan Ltd. conducts all Phase 1 ESA's in accordance with strict policies of the Canadian Standards Association's Guidelines, and is listed as an approved consultant with many of the major banks.
