Do I need a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment or a Stage 1 Preliminary Site Investigation? What is the Difference?
Whether you’re a buyer, seller, developer, a corporate investor, or a financial institution, knowing if contamination exists on a property can prevent unexpected cleanup costs and legal headaches down the line. What exactly are Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) and Stage 1 Preliminary Site Investigations (PSI), and how do they differ?
Property Redevelopment and Schedule 2 Uses
Schedule 2 uses are land uses or operations that are associated with a higher likelihood of potential impacts to soil, water and soil vapour. Common examples of Schedule 2 uses are gas stations, dry cleaners, and automotive repair. An identified Schedule 2 use does not mean that a property is contaminated. It does mean assessment is likely to be requested by the Ministry of Environment (BC ENV) prior to potential development, subdivision or change in zoning.
