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 CSA-Z768-01 compliant.
PHASE 1 ENVIRONMENTAL SITE INVESTIGATION
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. A Phase 1 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 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 oil tank, or asbestos
pipe insulation).
-
Interviews with site personnel, government officials and third
parties, in some cases.
-
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
Investigator (CEI) and all Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments
reports are conducted in compliance with the Canadian Standards
Association's Z768-01 Standard.
