Environmental Compliance Consulting and Environmental Audit Services
The key to environmental compliance begins with understanding the specific rules that apply to you. Our team of experts is committed to helping you navigate the ins and outs of environmental regulation, ensuring that your site is well managed at all times.
As a site owner in Ontario, the applicable environmental regulation is Ontario Regulation 153/04. This regulation prescribes the appropriate ways in which to manage environmental compliance and due diligence.
While every case is unique and dependent upon various individual factors, a primary area of compliance for site owners involves contamination. Contamination occurs when chemicals are present in the soil or groundwater, usually left over from some former use of the site or neighbouring properties (e.g., factory, gas station, railroad, etc.). Contamination can pose risks to building occupants, drinking water sources, and neighbouring sites which can result in high liability for site owners. Other areas of compliance include required reporting or testing, site assessment or clean-up, changes to activities occurring on-site, and more.
At AEL environment, we can provide you with skilled support in the following areas of compliance:
- Identify the requirements that apply directly to you and assess your personal level of risk
- Support managing requirements, deadlines, and ongoing monitoring, or assistance in response to audits or Certificates of Property Use (CPU)
- Break down all information into manageable, understandable data visualization to create a clear picture of your site’s condition
- Environmental registration, permitting and compliance support, from preparation and testing to filing applications
- Assistance with corresponding and negotiating with the Ministry of Environment, Parks and Climate Change (MECP), as necessary
