The client commissioned the assessment to determine i) if there were any potential soil and groundwater contamination liabilities associated with the Subject Property (Phase 1 ESA as per ASTM 1527), and ii) the compliance status of the facility with respect to key Thai environmental , health and safety  (EHS) regulatory requirements.

The Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) comprised of a review of readily available documentation, a site reconnaissance and interviews with key informants. The EHS Compliance Review comprised of a review of documentation made available by the DD target in advance of, and during, the site reconnaissance, observations made during onsite inspections and interviews with key personnel with responsibility for EHS performance.

Particular attention was paid to practices pertaining to general EHS permitting, chemicals management, waste management,  water supply,  wastewater management, air emissions, occupational health, technical safety and emergency preparedness.

The assessment culminated in the production of a commercially focused report that clearly identified the material and other relevant soil and groundwater contamination liabilities and EHS compliance related issues and their respective likely mitigation costs.

The report also included a checklist detailing the key EHS regulatory requirements applicable to the company’s operations and activities, and the current compliance status of the company with respect to each requirement.

Where non-compliances (NC) were identified, a corrective action was recommended along with a timeline for implementation based on the risk associated with each NC.
