What is a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment?
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a crucial step in the environmental due diligence process, typically required during real estate transactions to assess potential environmental liabilities associated with a property. The goal is to identify any existing or potential environmental contamination that could impact the property’s value, use, or liability.
