Document background
A Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment contract is used when detailed environmental investigation of a property is required, typically following initial findings from a Phase One assessment or due to known contamination concerns. Under English and Welsh jurisdiction, this document establishes the framework for intrusive investigation including soil sampling, groundwater monitoring, and chemical analysis. It's particularly crucial for property transactions, development projects, and regulatory compliance, incorporating requirements from the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and related legislation. The contract ensures all parties understand their roles, responsibilities, and the specific methodologies to be employed in the assessment.
