Whether you're considering purchasing, selling or re-financing a
property or ensuring that your facility is compliant with the
myriad of environmental, health and safety regulations, it
is vital that you understand all of the environmental and
financial risks involved.
That's where MEQA's Environmental Due Diligence and Remediation team
can help to assess, manage, mitigate or remediate those risks.
Our environmental engineers, technologists, and project
managers have experience with all kinds of environmental issues,
from subsurface to surface site characteristics - including air,
fresh and waste water - to the potential risks contained within
buildings themselves. Combined with our extensive knowledge of
current federal, provincial and local regulations, we can give
you the tools you need to make smart, informed decisions.
A Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) determines the
environmental condition of a site based on an examination of
past and current practices and activities. ESA may be carried
out as a condition of property sale, transfer or financing or to
identify actual and potential site contamination.
CSA Standard Z768- 01 (November 2001), Environmental Site
Assessment has been incorporated into the procedures used
by MEQA Environmental. If required, MEQA can modify the ESA to
include specific client requirements or needs.
All ESAs include detailed recommendations regarding findings
and any necessary additional investigations. MEQA offers
consistent, accurate and rapid ESAs.
CSA Standard Z769-00, Phase II Environmental Site
Assessment has been incorporated into the second step
procedures used by MEQA Environmental. Samples of surface and
the sub-surface soil, surface water, groundwater and other
material on the site are collected and analyzed for contaminants
related to current or past site activities.
Strict quality assurance/quality control protocols are
followed to ensure the accuracy and precision of analytical
data. The analytical data is then evaluated and assessed in the
context of relevant environmental legislation regulations,
guidelines or specific client requirements to determine the need
for remediation, to assess remediation options and prepare cost
estimates.
Senior environmental personnel at MEQA are always involved in
the interpretation of the data. Our reports are clear and
intelligible to a non-professional reader
