Phase 1 ESAs

Records Review

A records review to 1875 or first documented use is completed pior to the site visit. This ensures enough knwledge about the property and study area to identify PCAs and APECs. 

Site Visit

Records only reveal so much. Every site receives at least one visit, where the condition of the site and adjacent properties is extensively documented.

Interviews

Interviews are conducted with people who have knowledge of the site. This may include site managers, tenants of commercial properties and government officials.

Report

Our reports adhere to CSA guidelines and will identify areas of actual or potential concern. We also identify the degree of uncertainty associated with evidence of potential contamination.

Altura ESAs comply with CSA Standard Z768-01.
