Phase I Environmental Site Assessments

What is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is a visual assessment of a tract of land supported by historical and environmental database research to evaluate and identify any past or current recognized environmental conditions associated with a piece of commercial real estate.

Why conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments are typically conducted prior to a property transfer as part of the due diligence process to obtain reasonable assurances that a property does not contain recognized environmental conditions.

FELSI follows the American Society for Testing and Materials Standards (ASTM) on Environmental Site Assessments for Commercial Real Estate, 5th Edition, to conduct Phase I ESAs and prepare the report. FELSI personnel have attended the appropriate Phase I ESA training course, keep abreast of any revisions to the current standard, and are certified Licensed Florida Environmental Assessors and Licensed Environmental Professionals. FELSI's scope of work or services for preparing a Phase I ESA include a records review; site reconnaissance; interviews; and summarization of findings, opinions, and conclusions in a Phase I ESA report.

Please contact FELSI for more information regarding your project or to receive a cost proposal to conduct a Phase I ESA.
