Phase 1 Contamination Report and Survey An Adeptus Phase 1 Desk Study report provides concise but comprehensive assessment of the potential for a particular piece of land to be contaminated. Our phase 1 contamination assessment is carried out in compliance with government guidelines to ensure their suitability for submission in support of planning applications, the discharge of planning conditions, conveyancing and environmental due diligence.
The priority at Phase 1 is to optimise future efforts and rule out unnecessary works, so the report will often indicate that no further investigation is required. Where further site investigation is suggested, the Phase 1 Environmental Report provides valuable baseline information to ensure cost effective Phase 2 Site Investigation.
What is a Phase 1 Desk Study? Our Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment involves the collation of specific information required to determine whether the land is likely to pose a significant environmental risk. This information is interpreted by our specialist contaminated land consultant and forms the basis of the preliminary conceptual site model.
The conceptual site model is central to the phase 1 desk study report and describes all potentially significant pollutant linkages thought to be present at the site using the source, pathway, receptor concept. Qualitative risk assessment is then undertaken to determine the level or absence of risk is in relation to such pollutant linkages.
Why do I need a Phase 1 Desktop Study Report? Also known as a phase 1 contamination report, contaminated land assessment, or land contamination report, the desktop study is vital to ensure the protection of human health and the environment. Suitability for proposed site use is determined by assessing the impacts of any potential contamination in line with proposals. Where there is a likelihood that the site may not be suitable for use in its current condition, the report is used to establish a suitable, pragmatic course of action for phase 2 site investigation.
Our phase 1 environmental site assessments are also undertaken on behalf of business and property purchasers to help identify and quantify potential environmental liabilities through a comprehensive understanding of the site and its circumstances.
