Definition: A course-study sequence for environmental review and response: Phase I generally reviews records, site conditions, and interviews; Phase II uses sampling and testing; later phases address remediation planning and implementation or verification.
Example
A historical review identifies a concern, testing confirms contamination, and qualified specialists develop and carry out the necessary response.
Keep the distinction clear
Phase I and II have recognized assessment standards. Labels such as Phase III and IV are not a single universal EPA sequence; use the scope defined by the course, consultant, and governing program.
