Wetlands are immaculate ecosystems and a valuable source of biodiversity and diverse habitat functioning. Wetlands are generally defined as areas that are saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally. EnviroLead has comprehensive knowledge in dealing with the Wetland assessment, delineation, management, regulatory compliance, compensation and conservation in Alberta, Western Canada and internationally. EnviroLead can help both in the commercial planning of the wetlands and scientific research and evaluation for a variety of institutions. 

EnviroLead’s personnel has advanced knowhow of the implications of various acts and legislation in Alberta and Canada such as Alberta Wetland Policy, Alberta Water act, EPEA, Public lands act, Species at risk act, Migratory birds conventions act, Wildlife act and others.

EnviroLead will engage in robust planning exercise starting from understanding of the project development design to site assessments and developing mitigation strategies. Its experts uses various sources of imagery and GIS analytical techniques to augment the planning and implementation processes.

EnviroLead experience spans over two and half decades of dealing with very large waterbodies, rivers and lakes to small inland wetlands in North America, Asia, Africa, Europe as well as contributing to policies and practices here at home in Alberta and in various parts of the globe.

For BIAs EnviroLead look at specific components of the environment such as soils, vegetation, wildlife, topography, geology, hydrology and biodiversity for a precise project and the landscape development area. The main emphasis of BIA is on the proposed project development site; however, any natural habitat features that may be significantly interlinked with the neighbouring environment are also looked upon in detail such as ecological connectivity, watercourses and wetlands

EnviroLead completed biophysical assessment will detail prospective environmental impacts of the development recommending possible mitigation measures to reduce or minimise such impacts. This assessment exercise is accomplished by completing a comprehensive desktop review, site investigation, regulatory review and consultation, information and project analysis and a detailed report writing. GIS imagery and analytical tools are utilized to comprehend the natural features and present specific site conditions.
