The Investigation Phase

At this stage of any environmental project, having the right team with the necessary expertise and experience is paramount. Determining the presence, source, and extent of contamination means everything. Terra Environmental Corporation’s experienced and knowledgeable management team and field crews will ensure this critical goal is achieved. Once the site has been assessed either through a Phase I ESA or other research and is found to have a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC), the project is then moved into the investigation phase.

This portion of the project is known as a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment  (Phase II ESA). Experience allows us to determine the presence, extent, and source of the problem and to select the appropriate investigation technique for your project. Quality site investigation data is critical in the development of the Conceptual Site Model. Terra strives to ensure that the data we collect are of the highest quality. To help you save time and money during the Phase II process, Terra has pre-negotiated laboratory and analytical costs and we utilize our own drilling equipment. These pre-negotiated fees and access to equipment help us to be efficient and economical in managing your project.

Terra’s team of professionals have a diverse range of education, experience, and tools that can be combined together so that you receive the right results from the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. You will benefit from the experience and education of our onsite personnel and can trust that the techniques used will be efficient, precise, and consistent with the geology and regulatory needs. Phase II ESAs evaluate and confirm or resolve RECs identified in a Phase I ESA.  This phase contributes to the Conceptual Site Model to ultimately determine the magnitude and distribution of the chemicals of concern, by examining the interactions between the contaminants and the environment.
