| Abstract | ||
| Two sites were studied to determine Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Phases in Edmonton, Canada. In the first site a portion about 6 acres (25000 square meters) were used as acreage and to store materials collected from demolished buildings. Serious sources of environmental concern were found in this site. Based on finding in ESA Phase1, this study recommended conducting a comprehensive soil and water testing as ESA Phase 2. The second site was one acre (4000 square meters) originally used as house and car-repair shop. In ESA Phase1, the only visible sign of potential environmental concern was the presence of few spots of oil stains resulted from the car-repair shop activity. ESA Phase 2 was conducted to investigate impact of this activity on the soil properties. Six boreholes for a depth of 7.5 feet were performed and 24 soil samples were chemically tested. The results indicated that the clay-silty soil seems predominant in this site. The chemical analysis showed that all hydrocarbon and metal concentrations were within the standard levels except boron is 2.4 mg/kg. Accordingly, there is no evidence of potential environmental concern in this site. INTRODUCTION The environment is an interaction between all the living organisms and | ||
