Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Restoration Ecology
Northern Bioscience biologists have experience and training in legislated and proponent-driven environmental impact assessment for forest management, industry, corridors, cottage development and other development. Where larger projects warrant, Northern Bioscience can provide terrestrial, wetland and/or aquatic biological and ecological expertise to larger planning and engineering firms. We can also provide cost-effective assessments for more limited development by private landowners.
We can assist with:
- scoping and baseline studies supporting environmental assessments (EA) under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA);
- identification of potential environmental impacts;
- integration of EIA and decision-making processes;
- post-EIA monitoring research and process development;
- preperation of environmental impact statements and studies (EIS);
- conducting environmental site assessments (ESA);
- development of mitigation and environmental protection plans; and
- botanical and vegetation expertise for remediating and restoring disturbed environments.
