Environmental Impact Assessments

As a new development is planned, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is one tool used to predict potential impacts on the bio-physical, cultural and socio-economic environments, and to assess the significance of such impacts resulting from the proposed development.

EIA is primarily used as a planning tool, to define the baseline conditions before any development occurs, and to predict the consequences of development.

EnviroSearch offers both the management and technical expertise necessary to carry out an environmental impact assessment. Our experienced staff can:

co-ordinate and manage an EIA on your behalf
prepare documentation
ensure compliance with legislation and regulations
gather data including baseline studies
conduct a public consultation process

Remediation

Prior to commencing a remedial program, full site assessment and contaminant characterization is required in order to understand the complexities of the problem to enable the development of potential remedial strategies. Site assessment and contaminant characterization consists of determining:

the nature and magnitude of the contaminants

environmental situation (surrounding matrices)

extent of contamination

contaminant fate and transport

potential environmental receptors

regulatory clean-up requirements and targets

Upon completion of the above, a site specific remedial program can be implemented using proven remedial strategies or the results of bench scale studies for innovative projects. Options for typical remedial strategies include:

Excavation and disposal of contaminated media
Application of soil amendments
Stabilization and encapsulation
In-situ bioremediation
Ex-situ bioremediation
Pump and treat
Soil vapour extraction
Multi-phase vacuum extraction
Phytoremediation
Soil washing

EnviroSearch has the experience and in-house expertise in the assessment of contaminated sites to appropriately characterize the contaminants and provide cost-effective remedial options specifically designed to meet your requirements (i.e. long-term liability management vs. complete elimination of liability).

Regulatory agencies often require the submission of remedial plans for approval. EnviroSearch can provide detailed and accurate reports which are easy to read and comprehend to ensure that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the initiatives being proposed.
