PHASE II ESAS ON FUEL STORAGE LOCATIONS

Stage 2 Preliminary Site Investigations (PSI) for active bulk fueling stations – BC

Project description:

Ballast Environmental was retained by our client to review existing environmental reports for six properties being considered for purchase. Upon review of existing environmental reports, outstanding areas of potential environmental concern were identified. Through collaboration, it was decided to move ahead with 4 of those sites and Ballast Environmental developed work plans to address outstanding concerns on 4 of the bulk fueling stations. Stage 2 Preliminary Site Investigations (similar to Phase II ESAs) were completed to characterize soil and groundwater conditions at the subject sites and delineate previously identified impacts. Upon competition of our Stage 2 PSI, the client used the reports in negotiating the real estate sale.

Ballast Environmental provided the following services in order to achieve the project goals:

review of historical environmental reports and impart recommendations based on the findings;
implementation of drilling programs, including soil and groundwater sampling;
reports summarizing the site conditions and recommendations for further action;
consultation with the client regarding site conditions in relation to current applicable environmental quality guidelines; and
cost estimates for remediation to be used in the purchase price negotiations.
