SITE ASSESSMENTS
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
A commercial or industrial Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is conducted pursuant to the Canadian Standard Association (CSA) Phase I ESA Standard Z768-01. In AB, the Alberta Environmental Site Assessment Standard must also be met. We’ve conducted over 1000 site assessments.
Upstream Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
In Alberta, an upstream Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is used in preparation for an application for a Reclamation Certificate, in accordance with Alberta Energy Regulator’s 2010 Reclamation Criteria for Wellsites and Associated Facilities. We’ve completed several thousand site assessments for the upstream oil and gas industry across Alberta.
Certificate of Restoration (COR) Part 1
In BC, the Oil & Gas Commission requires an upstream oil & gas Phase I ESA to be completed in accordance with the Certificate of Restoration Part 1. We’ve conducted over 100 assessments.
Stage 1 Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI)
In BC, a Stage 1 Preliminary Site Investigation is conducted pursuant to the CSA Phase I ESA Standard Z768-01 but includes other items such as a Site Profile, survey maps, and a review by BC MoE. These are similar to Phase I Environmental Assessments so our experience adds over 1000 sites.

Detailed Site Investigation (DSI)
In BC, a Detailed Site Investigation is a very thorough investigation, usually following a Stage 2 PSI to ensure complete delineation and to ensure full understanding of contaminant transport. These are similar to Phase I ESAs, so we have experience in over 1000 sites.
