Phase II Site Investigation

EBI provides fast-turnaround, high-quality Phase II Environmental Subsurface Investigations, Comprehensive Site Assessments, and Baseline Site Assessments nationwide to provide critical environmental quality information for use in business decision making. EBI routinely provides these services to some of the nation's largest companies for asset valuation and liability reduction. We maintain preferred purchaser status with numerous equipment contractor and specialty equipment rental companies to enable us to provide our services at rates competitive with anyone in the industry. We also understand the difference between significant and insignificant contamination and consult directly with our clients to tailor the scope of work that meets their specific needs and risk tolerances, so that unnecessary time and money is not wasted investigating issues of minimal concern or consequence.

EBI has expertise in using rapid field assessment measures to obtain faster turnaround and often lower cost data, and also understands the importance of preserving the evidentiary value of the data collected. In discussions with regulators and in negotiations with 3rd parties we are effective and experienced advocates for our clients.

The primary objectives of conducting a Phase II Limited Subsurface Investigation are to evaluate Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) identified in a Phase I ESA for the purpose of providing sufficient information to confirm the presence or absence of the REC, to assist the Client in making informed business decisions about the property; and where applicable, providing knowledge necessary to satisfy the innocent purchaser defense under CERCLA.
