Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) & Environmental Impact Statements(EIS)

ESA

Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) are a common requirement for most commercial real estate transactions or refinancing. The ESA provides the appropriate inquiry into the property and identifies potential liabilities associated with other laws and regulations.

NORTECH utilizes standard procedures, but will tailor an ESA to a client's specific needs. The ESAs can be modified to include non-standard concerns such as asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint, wetlands, radon, and lead in drinking water.

NORTECH provides full-service capabilities to meet the needs of our clients from assessment through remedial design and oversight. We have successfully completed numerous site assessments on a fast-track schedule to satisfy the requirements of the client. Assessments have been performed on small properties and on very large industrial properties.

Services include:

Transaction Screening Process
Phase I, II, and III ESAs
Modified Phase I ESAs
Land Recycling (Brownfields)
