The Phase I ESA
research process includes:
• Historical Site Usage
- We review past uses of the property through a study of historical
aerial photographs and maps, property ownership records, historical
city directories, and interviews with past and present owners and
tenants.
• Site Reconnaissance -
Our personnel visit the property to observe materials stored, the
general condition of the property, adjoining property uses, utility
installations, and surface water drainage to look for evidence of
recognized environmental conditions. A typical site reconnaissance
includes interviews with managers and tenants.
• Regulatory Agency
Database Review - We review published federal, state, and local
environmental databases and contact local agency officials to determine
if sites of known environmental problems have adversely affected the
property.
• Report - Our results
are presented in a bound report including narrative descriptions,
conclusions and recommendations, maps, and color photographs.
