Environment Assessment, Permitting, and Mitigation
Our Water & Ecology team has a proven track record of helping our clients through successful Environmental Assessments (EAs) that are built on high quality environmental monitoring plans, mitigation designs, and offsetting programs.
Environment Assessment, Permitting, and Mitigation
To develop a project in Canada, it’s essential to skillfully navigate the environmental assessment (EA) process – it’s a key part of the Environmental Assessment Act. Together with Federal, Municipal and emerging First Nations requirements, the assessment process is rigorous and often prolonged, which is why our clients rely on experienced consultants to guide them and do the heavy lifting. Our Water & Ecology team of experts has a strong track record of helping our clients through the process—meeting tight deadlines and budgets, and delivering the services needed to move ahead. Successful EAs are built on high quality environmental monitoring plans, mitigation designs, and offsetting programs.
Our Canadian team is the best in the business at designing and delivering effective plans that consider the high bar set by regulators. The quality of our work has been recognized by the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO), who asked for us to help them develop the BC provincial guidelines and evaluate the work of other consultants. Regulators across Canada rely on us for advice on how best to collect and analyze the key information informing environmental decisions, including the Fisheries and Oceans Canada, who commissioned us to develop the protocols for the monitoring of new and upgraded hydroelectric projects in BC.
