Environmental Services in Guilford County, NC

A prior dry-cleaning operation is a recognized environmental condition (REC) under ASTM E1527-21 and will be identified and documented in the Phase I report. The assessor will research historical records, review regulatory databases, and interview available parties to characterize the REC. That finding typically supports a lender or buyer decision about whether a Phase II subsurface investigation is warranted before closing.

Construction-phase support can include soil classification during excavation where contaminated material is suspected, oversight of any required soil or groundwater management plans, documentation for regulatory compliance, and coordination with project engineers when unexpected conditions — stained soils, odors, buried debris — are encountered. Scope is defined by project-specific requirements and any conditions identified during pre-construction environmental assessment.

Phase I and Phase II ESAs are typically the first formal step in brownfield due diligence and are required documentation for many state and federal brownfield grant and loan programs. A Phase II conducted under ASTM E1903-19 establishes baseline conditions. The findings feed into any remediation planning or regulatory closure that must occur before redevelopment can proceed. Consult with your attorney and the applicable state program early.
