Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)

Encyclopedia : P : PH : PHA : Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)

---

The purpose of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is to identify potential site contamination. This involves the evaluation and reporting of information collected through records review, site visits, and interviews. Actual sampling of soil, air, groundwater and/or building materials is typically not conducted during a Phase I ESA. Phase I ESAs are conducted to identify environmental liabilities for property transactions; identify certain baseline environmental conditions; assist in meeting regulatory requirements; and as an initial step in site remediation. The Phase I ESA is generally considered the first step in the process of environmental Due Diligence.
