ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS - ESA PHASE 1,2 REPORTSAccelerate Environmental, Inc. (Accelerate) an established environmental firm offers reliable ESA (environmental site assessment) and reporting and environmental consulting servies. Our Environmental Assessment ESA Services:Environmental Site Assessments are generally
performed either at the request of a lending institution or the state
regulatory or environmental enforcement agency. Environmental Site Assessments
and related investigations may include:
PHASE I - A PHASE I ESA will include an in-depth inspection of the subject property both on site and through existing records. Generally no testing is performed in a Phase 1 ESA. The exception to this rule may be in the likelihood of asbestos or lead containing material or other potentially hazardous materials. The decision to test or not is made by the client but Accelerate will always give recommendations both verbally and in their written proposal. PHASE 2 - Once a PHASE 1 ESA has been completed the subject property may progress into a PHASE 2 ESA. Should a PHASE 1 ESA uncover any potential for contaminated substances on the subject property, Accelerate would recommend a PHASE 2 ESA to include a detailed testing program for any areas of concern. Should this be the case, Accelerate would be on site to sample the suspect material whether it involves air sampling or bulk sampling of building materials. All samples collected will be analyzed by an accredited laboratory. All subsurface sampling will be performed by a firm specializing in geological engineering. In the State of Texas, samples of soil and water to be analyzed for Volatile Organic Compounds, Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds, RCRA Metals, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, PCB's, Pesticides, Herbicides, Oil and Grease or other contaminants must be analyzed by a Laboratory with a DER approved Quality Assurance Plan. Bulk samples and Air Samples will always be sent to a Laboratory accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) as well as the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA). Accelerate insists that both Texas DER, US EPA and NIOSH protocols should be followed for sample collection, transportation, storage, and analysis. Results and recommendations for appropriate responses will be made in the form of a written report. PHASE 3 - the subject property progresses into a PHASE 3 ESA once contamination has been discovered and is deemed to be over the action level. Accelerate may assist the client in making the proper decisions to adequately abate the contaminated area. Call Us Now for FREE Quote (832)264-7422
