ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
An environmental assessment is typically the first step in the environmental planning process for a new project. Its main purpose is to help the project planning team understand the ensuing environmental impacts and available mitigation measures for consideration in the project design and operations. It is also an important tool used by regulators to assess whether proper due diligence has been applied with respect to environmental risk management. Most new construction projects in Alberta require some type of an environmental assessment as a condition of government approval.
Green Plan has considerable experience in conducting assessments ranging from environmental and biophysical overviews to comprehensive investigations to support regulatory approvals. Green Plan has also helped many organizations develop related policies and procedures to manage short-term and long-term environmental risk.
