What Is a Environmental Impact Study or Eis?
At EIA Toronto, we specialise in providing high quality, comprehensively assembled environmental impact studies for our clients throughout the Toronto, Ontario area and beyond – and we couldn’t be any prouder of the service that we’ve delivered over the years. The fact of the matter is that environmental impact studies (EIS) are a necessity
for many construction and development projects that take place both in Ontario and further afield – and you need a first class environmental impact assessment specialist who can get to the bottom of your situation without any undue delays or mistakes. Our deeply experienced environmental experts are ready and waiting to step in and help, and with our expertise, you’ll be sure to get your development started sooner rather than later – and hopefully, without any unnecessary impacts on our natural environments. Just below, you can find further information relating to environmental impact studies, and their substantial importance.
Explaining Environmental Impact Studies
So, what exactly are environmental impact studies – and why is there such strict regulation when it comes to modern development projects in Canada? An environmental impact study is a process that examines, predicts, and evaluates the potential impacts of a development project on the natural environment in which it’ll be situated. As you’d expect, this process takes place prior to any physical work, eliminating the chance that wasted energy will be exerted on something that shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Carried out by environmental assessment specialists like us, but the watchful eye of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, these studies have a considerable impact on the way a project will turn out.
Why are Environmental Impact Studies Necessary?
As the years have gone by, the appreciation for our natural spaces and beautiful landscapes has only continued to grow. At the same time, a more complete understanding of human activity’s effects on the environment has come about – so there’s a double pressure to limit the effects of our activities on newly-appreciated natural environments. The bottom line is that construction and development work can have a negative impact on marine life, the migratory birds in Canada (and beyond), and even food and water sources that are essential for Indigenous communities. Only by examining these risks can we mitigate them.
Exhaustive Approaches
The procedures necessary to carry out an environmental assessment study are strongly regulated by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, ensuring that no details are missed. As you’d expect, we do everything we can to uphold these standards at all times, giving a thorough understanding of every element relating to the construction project’s impact on the wider environment.
Project Assessment Experience
Environmental impact studies are required for a wide array of circumstances and construction projects. Many large-scale developments with infrastructural implications – like mines, highways, pipelines, and natural gas facilities – are proposed but are later discovered to not be environmentally feasible. Our experience in this space means that we’re prepared to take on any type of assessment requirement, as and when we’re needed.
