You will first be provided with an overview of the origin and goals of the Phase I ESA, followed by a brief overview of the Phase I ESA process and the contents of the Phase I ESA report. You will get practical advice of what to look for in a Phase I ESA report and what to look for in the environmental professional who will conduct it.
