Why Environmental Due Diligence Matters
Environmental assessments are a critical step in responsible development. They identify contamination risks that can affect safety, regulatory approval, and financial viability.
Firms like Groupe SBSE provide engineering oversight that ensures environmental data is interpreted accurately and acted upon appropriately.
Understanding Phase I Environmental Assessments
Phase I assessments involve:
- Historical land-use research
- Site inspections
- Review of environmental records
- Identification of potential contamination risks
Their purpose is to determine whether further investigation is required.
When Phase II Environmental Assessments Are Required
Phase II assessments include:
- Soil sampling
- Groundwater testing
- Laboratory analysis
- Quantification of contamination levels
Results guide remediation strategies and development feasibility.
Engineering Interpretation and Risk Management
Accurate interpretation prevents unnecessary remediation while ensuring compliance with provincial and federal regulations.
