7. Environmental Services.
• Phase I Environmental Site Assessments
• EEC provides site assessments for organizations and individuals
involved in property transactions to assess potential environmental
risks to the property and to retain protection from liability under
CERCLA. Environmental site assessments prepared by EEC meet or
exceed ASTM Standard of Practice E-1527, while providing the
necessary due diligence and disclosure required for property
transactions. Components of a Phase I may include:
• Review of Provided Information
• Records Review (Local and Federal)
• Physical Setting
• Historical Use Information
• Site Reconnaissance
• Interviews
8. Environmental Services..
• Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
• A Phase II ESA is undertaken if serious environmental concerns are
suspected following the Phase I ESA. The purpose is to identify the
limits and quantities of potentially hazardous materials; and to
evaluate the pathways whereby contaminants could reach
receptors. Components of a Phase II may include:
• Borehole drilling
• Air, soil, rock and groundwater sampling
• Selected materials (e.g. for asbestos, PCB's, CFCs, mercury, arsenic,
etc.
• Test pit excavation
• Chemical analysis of sampled materials
• Risk assessment
• Analysis, modeling and reporting
9. Environmental Services…
• Phase III Remedial Investigations
• A Phase III ESA is conducted when it becomes evident from prior
work that on-site contamination poses a threat to human health or
the environment. In this situation, contaminants occur at
concentrations above maximum acceptable limits, down-gradient
receptors are at risk, and site clean-up is required. A
recommendation is made as to the most cost-effective and
environmentally-appropriate remediation scheme. Components of
a Phase III may include:
• Removal of contaminated soil
• On-site or in-situ treatment of soil or groundwater
• A monitoring plan
• A decommissioning plan
10. Lab Certifications
• Our laboratories are both AMRL and CCRL certified and we are members
of the International Code Council (ICC) Member No. 5204348ICC. All of our
technicians are also ACI/ATI certified, and proud to offer the following
