ENVIRONMENTAL DUE DILIGENCE
Protect your investment and reduce your liability before you
purchase a property. Under Ontario law, the purchaser assumes
unlimited liability for the environmental condition of a purchased
property. So before you buy, conduct a basic environmental due
diligence:
-
Site Report: Utilizing federal, provincial and private sources,
a site report helps to identify a property's historical land use
and its current environmental risks. A site report includes a
site diagram, a statistical profile highlighting the results of
a comprehensive environmental database search, a site profile
and a detailed report.
-
Complete Report: Similar to a site report, a complete report
includes all of the same information as well as information on
neighbouring properties (within 250m radius on each side). This
provides the buyer with an understanding of environmental risks
that may indirectly affect the property in questions. Site
report is CSAZ768-01 compliant.
PHASE 1 ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT (ESA)
The purpose of the Phase 1 Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) report is to identify actual and / or potential
site contamination through a process of collecting current visual
accessible evidence on the site and review of background documents.
In Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, no laboratory testing,
sample gathering, intrusive investigation or physical analysis is
required. An ESA is intended to reduce but not
necessarily to eliminate the possibility of potential contamination
on the property.
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment is often required by
purchasers, financial institutions and / or municipalities prior to
purchasing residential, commercial and agricultural property in
order to minimize liability risks as a result of contamination.
There are four main components of a CSA compliant Phase 1
Environmental Site Assessment. These components are as
follows:
- A records review in
order to collect data on the past activities on the site and
neighbouring properties including mandatory documents and
optional documents when applicable.
- A site visit to
identify visual evidence of actual or potential contamination
(for example: an underground storage tank or asbestos pipe
insulation.
- Interviews with site
personnel, government officials and in some cases, third
parties.
- Site Evaluation of
the information and reporting of the findings and conclusions.
All Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments are conducted by trained
and experienced Certified Environmental Inspectors and all reports
are conducted in compliance with the Canadian Standards Association
Z768-01 Standard.
