PHASE I AND II AND PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT REPORTS

SSG-BARCO has been approved to perform Phase I consulting services by many lending institutions and law firms. A majority of financial institutions require environmental due diligence as a condition of releasing commercial and industrial loans.

SSG-BARCO adheres to current industry, state and federal guidelines of good commercial and customary practices for conducting environmental assessments. SSG-BARCO utilizes established protocols for Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment in accordance with the standards described in ASTM E 1527. Going beyond a standard Phase 1, SSG-BARCO strives to identify the financial risk for each potential recognized environmental condition discovered in the Phase I assessment. SSG-BARCO interprets the findings and explains the results in terms of the risk to the business transaction.

Phase II

Speed is often critical, time is money. We realize fast accurate results are important. SSG-BARCO has in-house drilling equipment (Geoprobe) available for fast soil and groundwater sampling.  We don’t rely on subcontractors and therefore can offer a complete and timely service.

 Preliminary Assessment Reports

The Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) imposes certain conditions on the sale, transfer, or closure of regulated industrial establishments and holds that both the owner of the real property and operator of the industrial establishment are jointly liable for compliance. SSG-BARCO assists clients with all phases of the ISRA process from submittal of the initial notice to remediation if necessary.
