Wisconsin Phase I Environmental Site Assessment company
At Fehr Graham, our team of Wisconsin Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) professionals understand the importance of knowing the current and historical uses of your property to prevent any issues. Phase I Environmental Site Assessments provide a comprehensive review of the environmental conditions of your property and our Phase I ESA experts can evaluate any contamination that could threaten public or environmental safety. Conducting a Phase I ESA creates a stable and responsible foundation for any brownfield redevelopment project and provides legal protections for environmental liability.
What is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment identifies potential or existing recognized environmental conditions (RECs) that can hinder your construction timeline for Wisconsin projects. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment identifies any issues involving a site that may threaten public or environmental health.
Recognized environmental conditions that Phase I ESAs evaluate:

- Contamination.
What happens during a Phase I ESA?
At Fehr Graham, our detailed Phase I Environmental Site Assessments analyze the historical and contemporary site documentation at Wisconsin locations to assess areas of environmental concern. They are tailored to the location, and they provide a detailed report of your site’s history. The process for a Phase I ESA can take up to four weeks.
