Environmental Site Assessments
If a diesel spill is suspected, it’s essential to conduct an environmental site assessment (ESA). ESAs are split into two main phases, each with its own set of procedures and benchmarks. In essence, a Phase 1 ESA assesses a site for contamination. Phase 2 then investigates and confirms the levels of contamination, and site remediation can begin once the facts have been unearthed.
