What Is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) reviews property history, visible site conditions, and regulatory records to identify potential soil contamination, groundwater pollution, hazardous waste, lead, or underground storage tanks (USTs).
It documents your environmental due diligence and ensures regulatory compliance under ASTM International E1527-21 and EPA All Appropriate Inquiry (40 CFR 312).
Local lenders, such as Zions Bank, Mountain America, and First Colony Mortgage, rely on our reports for real estate loans, refinancing, and commercial property transactions in Alpine. Our lender-ready reports keep projects across the Utah Valley and Utah on schedule.
Why Utah Lenders and Buyers Rely on Phase I ESAs
A Phase I ESA protects your investment by identifying environmental liabilities before purchase or refinancing. It ensures compliance with ASTM E1527-21, EPA AAI, and requirements from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
- Identify potential contamination or UST risks early

Answers to ESA Phase Is in Alpine
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Phase I ESA include?
Records research, on-site inspection, and interviews to identify soil contamination, groundwater pollution, lead, and other hazardous waste risks.
What is the typical Phase I ESA cost in Utah?
$1,500–$3,500, depending on property size, history, and data complexity. Sites near petroleum, dry cleaning, or manufacturing may require Phase II testing. Pricing in Alpine, Highland, and Cedar Hills is similar.
When is a Phase I ESA required?
Most lenders—including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and major commercial banks—require a Phase I ESA before financing or refinancing to verify environmental compliance and reduce risk.
How do underground storage tanks affect assessments?
Leaking underground storage tanks can lead to soil and groundwater contamination. We utilize historical data and on-site verification to locate or confirm tank removals, which are commonly found along Alpine Blvd and Canyon Crest Rd and near American Fork River.
Can an ESA reduce long-term liability?
Yes—early risk assessment helps owners avoid future cleanup and environmental law costs.
Do you handle environmental law coordination?
We work with lawyers, insurers, and regulators to ensure each report meets current legal and lender standards.
What if my property is near a Superfund site?
If your site is near a Superfund or state-monitored area, we review EPA, Utah DEQ, and county records to evaluate risk and determine if remediation is required.
How long does a Phase I ESA take?
Standard turnaround: 10–12 business days. Most projects in Alpine start within two days of your call. For rush availability, call 801-972-6222.
