The Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessment is a critical document used in New Zealand for comprehensive environmental due diligence investigations. It is typically required for property transactions, development applications, or when there are concerns about potential site contamination. The document combines two phases of investigation: Phase 1 involves detailed historical research, site inspection, and preliminary risk assessment, while Phase 2 includes intrusive sampling, laboratory testing, and detailed contamination analysis. The assessment must comply with New Zealand's environmental legislation, including the Resource Management Act 1991 and the NESCS 2011, and follows Ministry for the Environment guidelines. This document is essential for identifying potential environmental liabilities, ensuring regulatory compliance, and informing decision-making in property transactions or development projects.
