Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

In this scenario, the accurate statement is that the aim of Phase 1 of an environmental site assessment is to ascertain if there are ample reasons to believe the property is contaminated. Phase 1 involves conducting a preliminary investigation to identify any potential environmental risks associated with the property. It includes a review of historical records, interviews with knowledgeable individuals, and a site inspection to determine if further investigation is necessary in Phase 2.

Options A, C, and D contain inaccuracies regarding the environmental site assessment process. Phase 1 does not involve conducting various tests to gauge the extent of environmental issues, but rather to determine if contamination is likely. The environmental site assessment process typically consists of Phase 1 (assessment and preliminary investigation), Phase 2 (confirmatory testing to assess contamination levels), and Phase 3 (developing a plan for managing any identified contamination). Phase 4 is not a standard part of the assessment process.
