Phase I Environmental Site Assessments

A Phase I Environmental Assessment in Ontario (Phase I ESA) is an investigation of current and historical land use, ownership and tenancy of a property. The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to assess the likely environmental risk of a property by identify potential issues of environmental concern, due to environmental remediation across Ontario.

In Canada, Phase I ESAs are completed to meet the requirements of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standard Z768-94. This document should be reference for specific details of Phase I ESAs. General activities that comprise a Phase I ESA include collecting existing information through a records review, a site visit (visual review) and interviews. The collected information is evaluated and compiled into a detailed Phase I ESA report. If warranted, the Phase I ESA report will include recommendations for further investigations (e.g., an intrusive Phase II ESA) or recommendations for mechanisms or actions to be implemented (such as soil remediation in Ontario) to meet current environmental regulations. A Phase I ESA does not include sampling or laboratory analysis activities (which are typical aspects of an intrusive investigation or a Phase II ESA).

Phase I ESA’s are typically completed as conditional requirements for:

• the renewal of a mortgage on a commercial or industrial property;
• the purchase/sales agreement of a property transaction;
• permit applications associated with the initial development or redevelopment of a property;
• the change in tenancy of a commercial or industrial property; and
• the implementation of an environmental management plan (ISO 14000).
