Phase I ESA
Environmental Site Assessments in Virginia
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a crucial step in evaluating potential environmental risks before property transactions. Our team conducts thorough assessments to identify contamination risks and ensure regulatory compliance.
Phase I ESAs are typically required for commercial real estate transactions, land development, and financing approvals. Our assessments include site inspections, historical research, regulatory database reviews, and interviews to determine if further investigation (Phase II ESA) is necessary.

About Phase I ESA
Lenders, property buyers, developers, and investors require Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to assess potential environmental liabilities before purchasing land.
If contamination is suspected, a Phase II ESA involving soil and groundwater testing may be required.
Typically, it takes 2-4 weeks, depending on site complexity and historical data availability.

“Working with Compliance Professionals has been a pleasure. Our site inspector, in addition to being easy to work with, is knowledgeable, responsive to our needs, and is timely on all correspondence. I cannot recommend them more highly.”
“Compliance Pros has been such an asset to our construction team. They are knowledgeable, cost effective, and easy to work with. I trust them to make sure our team stays in compliance. Their reports are easy to access, and they are flexible in providing additional information as required by specific clients. They even voluntarily proposed a price reduction when we had multiple projects in close proximity. I would highly recommend working with Compliance Pros!”

“I’ve only been working with Compliance Pros and specifically Emma DiPaolo for the last 6 or 8 months. I’ve worked with other companies who do what CP does but there is something different about these folks. Emma is an outstanding inspector!!! Very knowledgeable of the rules and regulations of multiple counties E&S programs and supplies complete and thorough reports in a very timely manner. She is always open to communication and discussion of any issue that may arise and always has a solution at hand. If you’re looking for a SWPPP inspection company or simply someone to help you with E&S controls, I would highly recommend Compliance Pros. Great people!! Great service!!”
