Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) FAQ

EEM is a regulatory requirement under Canada’s Fisheries Act designed to evaluate the effects of industrial effluent on aquatic ecosystems. It involves study design, field monitoring, data analysis, and regulatory reporting.

The pulp and paper industry (per the Pulp and Paper Effluent Regulations) and the mining industry (per the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations) are the primary sectors regulated, though other industries may face similar monitoring obligations.

We provide end-to-end support, including study design, cause investigations, site-specific solutions, regulatory reporting, and program optimization to ensure compliance and efficiency.

If effects are observed, facilities must conduct an Investigation of Cause (IOC). Trinity develops customized studies to determine whether effects stem from effluent or natural factors and recommends corrective strategies.

Yes. Trinity frequently integrates EEM with other environmental monitoring programs or across multiple facilities, reducing duplication and optimizing resources.
