Site Assessments & Investigations:

Phase I:

We review historical records, aerial imagery, and regulatory databases, then conduct interviews and a site reconnaissance to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs). This preliminary analysis informs property transactions by highlighting potential contamination liabilities before closing.
Phase II:

Based on findings from the Phase I ESA, we perform targeted field investigations—including soil, groundwater, and vapor sampling—to confirm and quantify contamination. Laboratory analyses delineate the nature and extent of impacts, guiding risk evaluation and remediation planning.
Archaeological & Cultural Resource Assessment:

In coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), we conduct literature reviews and on-site surveys to locate and evaluate historic artifacts, structures, and landscapes. Our work ensures compliance with federal and state preservation statutes and protects culturally significant resources.
Integrated Reporting & Regulatory Coordination:

We compile all findings into a consolidated report that combines environmental, archaeological, and risk-management recommendations. Our team liaises with federal, state, and local agencies to streamline permitting, advise on mitigation strategies, and support due-diligence decision-making.

Frequently Asked Quetions

- A Phase I ESA involves a records review, regulatory database search, stakeholder interviews, and a site walk to flag Recognized Environmental Conditions before you buy or lease.
- If the Phase I identifies potential contamination, a Phase II follows with targeted soil, groundwater, plus lab analyses to confirm and map any impacts.
- We partner with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to review historical archives and conduct field surveys, ensuring any artifacts, structures, or landscapes are documented and protected.
- You get an integrated report combining environmental findings, cultural resource insights, and practical mitigation steps, alongside direct liaison with federal, state, and local agencies to streamline approvals.
