A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment may be recommended if potential environmental concerns are identified during a Phase I ESA. The Phase II Site Assessment provides a more comprehensive and detailed review to further evaluate suspected environmental impairments and the extent of surface and subsurface contamination.
