How we help
Phase 2 Environmental Testing
RSB Environmental performs Phase 2 Environmental Testing either in support of a financing decision or to meet the requirements of the local Environmental Agency.
All of our reports are performed to meet the standards set by ASTM E1903-97(2002).
Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment Scope:
- Phase 2 ESA normally is performed when the Phase I ESA identifies Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) and/or recommends further investigation.
- Unlike the Phase I ESA AAI rule, the Phase 2 is not a rule, but a standard of practice for performing the assessment.
- The standard of the Phase Two ESA is typically defined by the scope proposed by the Environmental Professional and accepted by the client. This allows the scope of work to be tailored to each individual site and situation.
- Any additional testing or characterization should meet all state and local guidelines.
- Normally, a Phase 2 ESA is actually a screening to determine if potential contamination and/or hazardous materials are present. The Phase Two does not typically characterize contamination present nor is it a feasibility study. However, this can be included as part of the Phase Two ESA scope or may be part of the screening recommendations.
- Geophysical surveys are often included to help locate subsurface objects and/or identify suitable locations for soil borings and groundwater monitoring wells.
