Environmental Assessments
The Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) provides a framework for the protection, conservation and wise management of Ontario’s environment. An Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Screening (ES) is an evaluation of the environment within an area of study that will be affected by a proposed undertaking, the effects that the undertaking options may have on that environment, and the selection of a preferred approach with an identification of actions which may be necessary to prevent or mitigate the net effects.
Cambium Environmental Inc. provides expert assistance to municipal and individual clients conducting an Individual or Class EA. We guide the client through each stage of the process, with attention to detail and a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements and effective public participation programs.
A Transparent Process
Cambium engineers, planners, and technical staff ensure that the EA process conducted by the client is transparent and objective. Each step along the way is clearly documented. We enable regulators, stakeholders and client representatives to work together throughout the process.
Assessing Impacts
The EA or ES process requires a careful assessment of impacts of a proposal on the natural, social, cultural, and economic aspects of the community. Cambium field staff specializes in the identification and collection of relevant information, which will form the basis for technically sound, community-based solutions.
Public Consultation
Public consultation is an integral part of the EA and ES process. Cambium professionals work with clients to ensure that the public is engaged, right from the beginning. Cambium encourages public involvement through newsletters, webpage updates, public events and effective media releases. The result is an informed public and a solid foundation for decision-making.
