Phase II Environmental Assessments
When a potentially hazardous environmental condition is discovered during completion of Phase I ESA, a subsequent Phase II ESA may be recommended in order to confirm or deny the presence of environmental hazards.  Phase II ESAs typically involve invasive sampling of building materials or soil and groundwater media to determine whether adverse environmental impacts have occurred.  Aboveground structures may be sampled for ACMs, LBP, and radon.  Soil and groundwater samples may be analyzed for a wide range of compounds; however, in most cases hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the primary chemicals of concern.  Samples are collected by certified Tecumseh professionals and analyzed using appropriate field and laboratory methodology. 

Depending on client requirements and site-specific considerations, the scope of work for a Phase II ESA can vary significantly, from the collection of a few soil samples to an extensive subsurface investigation to characterize a large site.  Tecumseh Professionals strive to minimize costs through prudent design and implementation of Phase II ESAs.  We focus on collection of the required amount of data using cost-effective techniques.  Tecumseh personnel have performed over 60 Phase II investigations at a wide variety of private and government facilities in New Mexico and throughout the United States.
