Environmental Bioremediation
What is Bioremediation?
Simply put, bioremediation is the use of microorganisms and their biological processes(e.g., metabolism) to remediate contamination in soil and groundwater. AEL employs bioremediation in certain cases where an excavation method is too challenging or not cost-effective. For instance, on sites where contamination exists under a building, it is often best practice to use in-situ bioremediation to preserve the site structure and save redevelopment costs. Bioremediation is an effective remediation technology for variety of contaminants of concern (COC).
Is Bioremediation Right For Your Site?
Depending on the type and location of a contaminant on site, bioremediation may serve as an efficacious and cost-effective remedial option for a property. A conversation with one of our environmental engineers can help you understand the steps to take. Generally, site characterization is the first step in determining a remedial action plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
When we are considering if a report is “out of date”, we use Ministry of the Environment, Parks and Conservation guidelines of 18 months. Your bank might use a different age as their guide – this is up to them and how much risk they are willing to take on in financing your property
It seems like a short time period (and we agree) – however, site conditions can change quickly. Things that will impact your site are changing every day – neighbours come and go. Environmental incidents happen. The regulations impacting your site are being revised. Hint: one major change in O.Reg. 153/04 happened in 2011 that significantly impacted environmental reporting – reports older than 2011 raise flags for us.
