Natural Gas Pipeline Release

Natural Gas Pipeline Release

One of our pipeline clients discovered a pin hole in one of their pipelines that was leaking natural gas and liquids into the soil. Our client needed to understand the extent of the contamination, and most importantly, prevent the contamination from spreading to domestic water wells and the nearby river.

Source Water Protection and Management

Source Water Protection and Management

The Region of Waterloo is one of the largest municipalities in Canada to rely heavily on groundwater for water supply. One of their key challenges is to ensure that the groundwater volume they are extracting is sustainably balanced with the needs of the surrounding natural environment, particularly in the face of a growing population, urbanization, and climatic changes.

Fertilizer Plant Soil Monitoring Program

Fertilizer Plant Soil Monitoring Program

Agrium was required to conduct a Soil Monitoring Program (SMP) at their central Alberta fertilizer plant. Soil monitoring at industrial sites across Alberta are required every five years in order to meet the terms and conditions of their operating approval as specified in the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA).

Decommissioned Gas Plant and Well Sites

Decommissioned Gas Plant and Well Sites

When operations ended at our client’s northern former gas plant field, they wanted to understand the environmental impacts and how they could effectively manage and reduce their environmental liabilities. The field included former wells, a decommissioned gas plant, and an air strip.

We routinely lead characterization of stream morphology to:

  • Assess fluvial erosion hazards
  • Develop alternatives for erosion control in environmental assessments
  • Develop management strategies as part of land use planning (subwatershed, secondary, tertiary plans and site plans)
  • Assist in culvert/bridge design
  • Define erosion thresholds to inform stormwater management
