Do you need an Environmental Engineering Firm in Ontario? For people in Ontario who own property, an environmental engineer or environmental consultant can be a great resource. They’re the best source of information and assistance when managing challenging environmental issues that arise on your site.
Why You May Need An Environmental Engineer or Consultant
If you are changing the use of your site to more sensitive land use (going from commercial to residential, for example) or completing a property transaction, you may need an expert to conduct an environmental site assessment (ESA) or record of site condition (RSC). This is a document issued by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, that certifies that your site meets certain environmental criteria. It can protect you from environmental liability.

An RSC (and many other environmental reports) requires the input of an environmental engineer– more specifically, a Qualified Person (QP) under O. Reg. 153/04.
