LES performs all Phase 1  Environmental Site Assessments in accordance to ASTM Standard E 1527-05 All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI)  and comply with  CERCLA due diligence requirements.  All efforts are taken to ensure that any potential environmental concerns are identified and thoroughly evaluated as to their impact to the subject site.   LES' site assessments are completely objective and we never recommend unnecessary further work.  

LES only uses well established and proven environmental information, soil sampling, and analytical laboratory services in completing environmental site assessment projects.  All work is completed in a timely manner and presented in a professional written report. 

Due to LES’ low overhead, LES can provide  Phase One Environmental Site Assessments at a significant reduce cost compared to other established environmental services.   Being able to receive the same high quality  Phase 1 at a significantly reduced price is the reason selecting LES is a wise decision. 

LES' typical Phase 1 has the following scope of work:

1.   A site reconnaissance to observe vegetation, soil conditions, location of tanks, transformers, wells, pits, ponds, or lagoons, locate piping and drains, and indication of dumping, odors, etc., and a search for visible signs of asbestos or PCBs. This includes color photographs of the subject property and adjoining properties.

2.   A  review  of three or more of the following standard historical sources for the previous 60 years (if available): aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, property tax files, recorded land title records, USGS 7.5 Minute Topographical Maps, local street directories, and record searches for the site and surrounding properties in standard ASTM E 1527 environmental  databases.

3.   A record search for historical building permits related to the subject site.

4.   Interviews with owners, occupants, neighbors, State and local government officials and/or other persons who are familiar with the property are performed in person, by telephone, or in writing regarding the history, utilities, operations, management, waste management practices, and other environmental considerations for the subject property.
