Topic > The Importance of Environmental Site Assessment

1- Introduction1.1 Objective: The objective of Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment was to identify the purpose for which it was conducted. ESA Phase 1 can be performed for various purposes, such as identification of specific incidents on site, probable areas of environmental obligation, designated substances and for the baseline study for the development of ESA Phase 2. [5]1.2 Scope: Phase 1 of the ESA shall include a historical review, a site examination, and interviews with persons associated with the site and monitoring bodies, accessible in a comprehensive report. Any restrictions to the above scope should be acknowledged and the intention behind the limitation should be communicated. [5]1.3 Limitations and Exceptions of Assessments: The ESA is based on data available from a variety of sources and was performed using appropriate techniques. [4]2- Historical ReviewThis was a major module of Phase 1 ESA that provides a sequential summary of events taking place in the area and on the site, from the date of first development to the present. Sufficient data should be provided on any residential, commercial or industrial action in the area to assess likely environmental concerns. The number of data sources and their availability vary in different regions of Canada. [4]2.1 Site Description: The property 15 Woodridge Crescent was rectangular in shape and measured approximately 1.44 acres of land. Department number no. 7 and name of department no. Bay. The topography of the general area of ​​this building is flat. The surface of the parking lot was an asphalt surface. No stressed vegetation and stained soil were observed. The electricity in this building was supplied by the electricity company; water from the regional body for water quality control; wastewater treatment by the local municipality. Interior of…… half of paper……r unusual odors were detected during the site visit.6. Conclusions and Opinions The following tasks were completed: Inspection of the property and surrounding area, by reviewing historical aerial photographs, federal and regulatory agency databases were identified. The Phase I ESA found that there is no evidence of potential environmental contamination associated with the building and/or adjacent properties. Findings include that before 1968 there was nothing developed or built on this land. According to the 1968 aerial view, there was an electrical shop on this site which did not affect the site in any way. The current occupant Minto constructed this building approximately 20 years ago in 1994. Overall, this assessment revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions on this site and it was concluded that no further steps are required. [4]
