Environmental Site Assessment

An Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a process used to evaluate the potential environmental contamination of a property. It typically involves investigating the history of the site, examining existing conditions, and identifying any hazardous substances present. ESAs are often conducted before buying or developing land to ensure there are no hidden environmental liabilities. The assessment helps property owners, buyers, and developers understand risks and make informed decisions regarding site use, cleanup, or development planning, ultimately protecting public health and the environment.
