Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
Phase II ESAs are not always necessary and often cannot be completed without a Phase I ESA. When this action is recommended, it is usually the result of finding a Recognized Environmental Condition during the Phase I assessment.
​
This step consists of collecting samples of soil, ground water, and/or surface water. Depending on site conditions, samples are collected by auger boring, geoprobe, or other sampling equipment.
​
Sage Environmental Services' highly-qualified geology staff can help you complete this next step in the site assessment. After sampling and analysis is complete, the report will provide you with a much better understanding of the existence of contamination and recommendations for remediation (if needed) that can reduce your environmental and civil liability.
Phase III Environmental Site Assessments
​Once the Phase II ESA has been completed, a recommendation will be made as to whether further action is necessary, such as a Phase III ESA, which includes site remediation. This is typically recommended when contamination is found to be significant and /or exceeds federal, state, or municipal human health risk standards.
