Phase I Environmental Site Assessments

Need a Phase I ESA? We've Got You.

Protecting your business and investments takes a lot more than just good insurance.

It requires finding an environmental professional who really gets the Phase I ESA process and who meets the strict qualifications necessary to provide a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment that will provide you the protection your business, and your investment needs. It requires putting your faith into an organization to perform environmental due diligence, ultimately helping you avoid the very real (and very expensive) environmental risks and liabilities that you could be facing when you purchase, lease, or refinance a piece of property.

RMA's environmental professionals help make removing the guesswork from environmental issues and challenges remarkably easy.

Bank Approved Phase I ESA Provider

Phase I's Done Strictly to the ASTM Standard

We follow the Phase I ESA standard to a T. We don't deviate, we don't add anything, and we don't take anything out. When you need a Phase I ESA completed to protect your property or investment from any environmental liabilities, it's vital you get a Phase I done to the ASTM standard. If you need additional services such as environmental audits, lead, mold, or asbestos inspections, those can be added on.

Phase I ESA's ALWAYS Performed by Environmental Professionals

No interns, no subcontracting, the only one conducting the Phase I will be an environmental professional from our staff, with decades of experience working at a variety of locations across the United States. Our staff regularly Phase I ESA training & refresher courses conducted by ASTM to ensure they are constantly learning and staying ahead of anything Phase I ESA related.

Understandable & Useful Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Reports

Our Phase I ESA's are well-written, high-quality reports with understandable language, clear imagery, and useful maps. We write Phase I's for you, the end-user, so you can garner knowledge out of the report you paid for. Our reports are more than just a check-mark on a list of requirements, they're a powerful tool useful for leverage and negotiation during a property transaction, as well as establishing environmental baselines.

Phase I ESAs Completed Honestly & Transparently

When we conduct a Phase I ESA, we factor our pricing and the mechanics of the job based solely on the need for a Phase I. A common trend in the environmental consulting world is to underbid on the initial Phase I ESA quote in order to get the job, and then identify questionable REC's and recommend additional work in the form of a costly Phase II ESA. In this instance, you the buyer, are on the hook for expensive additional work and the "cheap" Phase I becomes part of an expensive environmental assessment project. That's not how we work. Should you need a Phase II ESA, we can address that down the road, but we don't factor that price in upfront.
