Before buying, selling, or developing a property in California, an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is often required. These assessments are designed to identify potential hazards such as asbestos, lead, mold, underground storage tanks, or hazardous waste contamination. For property owners and investors, an ESA is more than a regulatory box to check — it’s protection against future liability.
In regions like Chico, Sacramento, and Redding, where older buildings and industrial sites are common, ESAs are a critical step in any real estate or redevelopment project. Skipping this process can lead to costly surprises down the line, including unsafe working conditions, lawsuits, or environmental violations.
Alliance Environmental Services provides certified environmental site assessments across California. With a team trained in hazardous materials, regulatory compliance, and remediation planning, we give property owners the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.
What Does an Environmental Site Assessment Include?
- Phase I ESA – A review of records, site history, and visual inspections to identify potential hazards.
- Phase II ESA – Sampling and laboratory testing of soil, water, air, or building materials when hazards are suspected.
- Specialized Assessments – Asbestos surveys, lead paint testing, mold inspections, and hazardous waste evaluations.
Who Needs an ESA?
- Property Buyers & Sellers – To confirm the property is safe and compliant.
- Developers – To ensure land is suitable for new construction or redevelopment.
- Banks & Lenders – Often required before approving loans on commercial or industrial properties.
- Government Agencies – For schools, municipal buildings, and infrastructure projects.
