When a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) identifies a recognized environmental condition or the potential for soil contamination, most clients request to evaluate the potential contamination by performing Phase II Environmental Testing.
 

The purpose of a Phase II Environmental Report is to determine the presence, or absence of, petroleum products or hazardous waste in the subsurface of the site. Our staff of geologists and engineers possess expertise in Phase II Environmental project design. Our Phase II Environmental projects can be done according to the ASTM E1903-11 Standard Guide for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Process standard or to meet a client's specific needs.

 

When designing a Phase II ESA, the most important pieces of information necessary are:

• Areas of Concern

• Chemicals of Concern

• Local geology

• Site access issues

​

Drilling Methods for Phase II Environmental Testing

FENV is very familiar with a host of drilling technologies and has relationships with some of the best drilling companies in Texas. We will choose the best drilling technology to economically meet the goals of the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. Drilling methods used most often during Phase II Environmental Testing projects:

• Push Probe

• Hollow Stem Auger

• Hand Auger

• Mud Rotary

• CPT Drilling

​

Our associates are also familiar with other subsurface drilling technologies; such as sonic drilling, telescope drilling, air rotary, and solid stem auger. All of these technologies are important options.
