Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring
Groundwater and surface water monitoring involves the continuous or periodic assessment of the quality and quantity of groundwater and surface water resources. It aims to detect any contamination, changes in water levels, or other issues that may impact water availability and quality.

Hydrometric Monitoring
Hydrometric monitoring involves measuring water levels, flow rates and other watercourse characteristics over time. Data is collected using field instruments and hydrometric monitoring stations to assess surface water quantity, seasonal variations and long-term hydrological trends.

Hydrogeological Investigations and Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation
Hydrogeological investigations evaluate groundwater conditions, including groundwater flow, water quality characteristics and interactions between groundwater and surface water. Groundwater monitoring wells are installed to collect water-level and water-quality data for ongoing assessment and environmental monitoring.

Metal Leaching and Acid Rock Drainage Analysis
Metal Leaching and Acid Rock Drainage (ML/ARD) analysis assesses the potential for mine waste rock, ore or tailings to generate acidic drainage or release metals when exposed to air and water. Geochemical assessments and laboratory testing are used to predict potential environmental effects and support mine planning, environmental management and regulatory requirements.

Contaminated Sites Services and Remediation
Contaminated sites services involve assessing soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater for the presence of contaminants and evaluating the associated environmental risks. Remediation may include developing and implementing measures to remove, contain or reduce contamination and address site-specific environmental concerns.

Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring involves the systematic and ongoing collection of data and information related to environmental parameters such as air quality, water quality, soil conditions, wildlife populations, and more. This data is used to assess the environmental health and detect any changes or potential issues.

Environmental Assessments
Environmental assessments are comprehensive evaluations of proposed projects or activities to assess their potential environmental impacts. These assessments, which can be at the federal, provincial, or local level, help regulators make informed decisions and may require the submission of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) or Environmental Impact Statements (EISs).

Environmental Auditing
Environmental auditing is a systematic review and evaluation of an organization’s environmental performance and compliance with environmental regulations, policies, and standards. These audits are conducted to identify areas for improvement and ensure legal and ethical environmental practices.
