Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) 

HKC performs both Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments for banks to secure loans, developers, and real estate transactions. 

Preliminary Assessment – Phase I 

HKC has performed several Phase I assessments, for real estate management and financial companies. Our typical Phase I assessment consists of a site inspection to identify conditions that might impose environment liabilities. Phase I assessments may include the following: 

• Background data reviews, which include geological maps, aerial photos, historical records, and regulatory databases. 
• Site inspection and survey to document any conditions that may result in any liability. 
• Title search 
• Identification of any suspected asbestos material or mold. 

• Preparation of maps drawn to scale. 
• Interpretations of the collected data 
• Preparation of technical reports, determination of risk level, identification of liabilities and recommendations.
