Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA)

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) helps protect clients during the purchase, refinancing, or redevelopment of commercial property by identifying potential environmental concerns early in the process. This proactive evaluation focuses on Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs), which may indicate the presence or likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum that could pose a risk. Through a thorough review of historical records, environmental databases, site reconnaissance, and stakeholder interviews, our team provides a clear understanding of environmental risk.

Bolton & Menk’s Phase I ESA services help reduce uncertainty, support informed decisions, and keep projects moving forward with confidence. By combining proactive risk management with integrated environmental services and strong local knowledge, we deliver reliable assessments that minimize surprises, support regulatory compliance, and help streamline financing and redevelopment efforts.
