ESA projects have ranged from assessments for small rural property transfers to 100 mile corridor assessments. We tailor our services to meet our clients needs. Our capabilities also include NEPA issue evaluations including: wetlands studies, cultural resources evaluations, endangered species, etc. as well as non-ASTM issues such as asbestos and lead-based paint.

We adhere to strict procedures and policies regarding the performance of ESAs to protect our client's, as well as our own, liability. These procedures include ASTM E 1527-05, "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process", and other ASTM practices for advanced ESAs.  This is especially crucial with the release of EPA's new All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) requirements. Additionally, Aquaterra staff current with state-of-the-practice through training, continuing education, seminars and professional organizations. Members of our staff served on the ASTM committee that developed the standard for Phase I ESAs.

However, we maintain a very competitive pricing structure with the firms in the marketplace that perform ESAs under the guidance of a registered professional.
