Environmental Management Planning
Envirolead has a leading edge in providing Environmental Impact Assessment and Planning Services for projects in the oil and gas, Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) development, and road construction. Our goal is to assist our clients to get their projects planned, built and operated on schedule, by developing management plans for mitigating impacts on local communities, environment, and social and cultural resources. By helping clients bring these issues into the project planning process early, we achieve environmental objectives; enable the client to avoid significant approval and other delays.

We quantify and monitor GHG exchange at, or emission from, resource-extracted areas including wetlands and uplands. The disturbed areas are to be evaluated and monitored accurately and reliably for their GHG emissions under the Environment and Climate Change Canada’s obligation to United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change. We use accurate and detailed methods such as direct measurement in alignment with industry standards and Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change protocols.
We provide ecological restoration services expected in the life of a restoration project – pre-planning to post restoration monitoring. Additionally, services to mitigate the severity of the effects of landscape fragmentation are provided to promote biodiversity and possibly offset severity of the disturbance effects on wildlife including vegetation and other fauna.
The oil sand landscape has been dominated by peatlands with coverage as high as 80%. The peatlands being disturbed as a result of surface mining or in-situ well pads construction are required to be restored to peatland trajectories. We provide assessment of the resource-extracted peatland in comparison with the natural surroundings and, define restoration approach, share restoration technique, design/conduct restoration research, and provide robust carbon sequestration data with biodiversity to evidence the effective restoration to peatland trajectories.
Changes in temperature and precipitation are expected to impact productivities of the natural and disturbed ecosystems. This may lead to a positive or negative feedback to climate change or global warming. We track carbon movement from land or water to atmosphere through vegetation by employing a range of estimation and tracking methodologies including standard and isotopic ratio analyses of soil, water, plant and vegetation.
We process and interpret the GHG emission data using global warming potentials in alignment with industry and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) standards and protocols. The finalized data can be reported to ECCC (after industrial review) for reporting compliance. We use the reported data for emission model construction and validation, useful for near future emission predictions.
