For an environmental legal professional, managing your client’s environmental risk requires the assistance of a professional environmental consultant who can expertly assess the site, its history and its risks, provide accurate environmental testing services, peer reviews, and if necessary, lead efforts to clean up the property.
Our experienced professionals provide you with practical, comprehensive insights relating to environmental site characterization and contamination. We can support you and your client in compliance with relevant regulations, including O. Reg. 153/04, O. Reg. 406/19 including risk-based and conventional RSC (Records of Site Condition), Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessments, soil and groundwater remediation, conduct baseline studies, and provide testing and guidance in excess soil and fill management situations.
It all begins with a thorough understanding of site-specific characteristics and goals. Working in close collaboration with you and your client, AEL environment can assist with any of the following:
- Early dialogue with regulatory authorities to allow for efficient and timely information exchange and more positive outcomes.
- The preparation of an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) application for businesses that generate emissions and discharges related to air, noise, waste, and sewage.
- Self-registration with the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) for activities or sectors that pose minimal risk to the environment and human health when regulated.
- Peer review of environmental reports previously prepared for the site by others.
- Provide environmental support for property purchase, sale or leasing negotiations.
- Management of regulatory requirements, deadlines, and ongoing monitoring.
- Effective response to environmental audits.
- Data visualization for a clear picture of a site’s condition.
- Lead correspondence, negotiation or manage filings with the Ministry of Environment, Parks and Climate Change (MECP), lenders or other regulatory authorities on behalf of you or your clients.
