Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
Phase 1 ESA projects are performed to meet or exceed American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) Standards 1527-05 and are compliant with the EPA All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) that provides protection under innocent landowner defense. ERAS also conducts Environmental Transaction Screen (ETS) projects for clients that may require a lesser level due diligence. ERAS has conducted an average of approximately 200 ESA and ETS projects per year over the past 5 years throughout Central California.
Phase 2 Projects
ERAS conducts limited soil and groundwater sampling projects for due diligence projects. These are specific to identified risks to subsurface conditions and strictly follow all local and state regulatory agency requirements. Sampling techniques have included hand borings, Hydropunch™ and other sampling techniques. ERAS has significant experience in rapid turnaround and cost effective expertise because of staff experience and significant knowledge of environmental agency regulations throughout California.
Hydrogeological Assessments
ERAS has worked on a large variety of fuel, solvent and other chemical release sites listed with local, county, state and federal regulatory agencies. These include gas stations and other fuel leak sites, dry cleaners and other solvent release sites and sites suspected of release of metals and other chemical contaminants. ERAS has prepared workplans, site conceptual models, feasibility studies and corrective action plans on these site. Work has included drilling of borings and installation of groundwater and remediation wells using a number of sampling techniques and using a large variety of equipment.
Remediation Project Management
ERAS has provided design and implementation management for soil and groundwater remediation projects. This includes soil excavation and confirmation testing, and testing for chemical injection and remediation design. ERAS has collaborated with professional design engineers to plan and install vapor, soil and groundwater extraction and treatment systems and combinations of these. ERAS has also installed remediation wells as part of the system installations.
Technical Review Services
ERAS provides professional reviews of other consultants environmental reports (UST removal, Phase 1, Phase 2 or remedial action) as second opinions or to supplement information. Regulatory technical reviews are performed to provide a status of investigations at site undergoing subsurface investigations or remediation. These studies may be requested for potential real estate transfers and have been performed for potential buyers, sellers, loan officers and legal counsel.
Supplemental Phase 1 Services
ERAS performs Phase 1 updates to bring older Phase 1 ESAs into compliance with 2005 standards. Technical research or environmental file reviews for the Property or nearby sites and/or historical research may be appropriate to supplement other due diligence information for a particular property. Historical research may be used for purposes including site reconstructions and to document significant historical features.
