Environmental Engineering Services by Canadian Shield Consultants Agency
Environmental Engineering – Canadian Shield Consultants, Ontario, Canada
Our services include:
Wastewater Management: Design and installation of septic systems, pumping stations, and biofilters (e.g., Ecoflo®, EZflow).
Spill Response: 24/7 emergency cleanup for hazardous/non-hazardous spills, with helicopter access for remote sites.
Drinking Water Systems: Filtration, UV disinfection, and storage for safe potable water.
Site Remediation: Soil and groundwater cleanup for contaminated sites, per MECP standards.
Permitting and Compliance: Environmental Compliance Approvals (ECAs) and soil/water testing. We specialize in sustainable solutions for Northern Ontario’s rugged terrains, tailored for mining, tourism, and First Nations projects.
These services ensure compliance with stringent EPA and SDWA regulations, preventing fines up to $1 million for spills or $250,000 for water violations. They protect Ontario’s sensitive Canadian Shield ecosystems, reduce groundwater contamination risks, and support sustainable development in remote areas. Canadian Shield Consultants delivers cost-effective solutions, cutting long-term environmental liabilities by up to 50% through proactive design and rapid response.
We adhere to:
EPA and O. Reg. 675/98: Mandatory spill reporting and containment.
SDWA and O. Reg. 170/03: Safe drinking water standards (e.g., <1 CFU/100 mL E. coli).
OBC Part 8: Wastewater system design and setbacks (e.g., 15 m from water bodies).
O. Reg. 224/07: Spill prevention plans and remediation. Our team secures ECAs, conducts soil percolation tests, and ensures flood-proofing (25-year event standards), avoiding MECP orders and ensuring compliance across Sudbury and Northern Ontario.
What types of projects benefit from Canadian Shield Consultants’ environmental engineering services?
Our services suit:
Residential: Septic systems and water treatment for homes and cottages.
Commercial/Industrial: Wastewater and spill response for mining, forestry, and tourism.
First Nations: Customized systems for remote communities, with helicopter deployment.
Remediation: Contaminated site restoration for industrial or legacy sites. We excel in Ontario’s bedrock-heavy and sloped terrains, integrating eco-friendly technologies like EZflow and UV disinfection for sustainable outcomes.
Yes, we prioritize sustainability with:
Recycled materials (e.g., EZflow’s polystyrene aggregates).
Energy-efficient systems (e.g., UV disinfection at <100 W).
Minimal land disturbance and zero-leach designs to protect waterways. Our solutions align with the Clean Water Act, reducing ecological impact in the Canadian Shield and supporting First Nations’ environmental goals through low-impact wastewater and water systems.
Wastewater Systems: 500-10,000 L/day septic tanks, CSA-approved polyethylene/concrete, with 1-4 psi pumps.
Spill Response: 50-500L spill kits with eco-safe absorbents, CCOHS-compliant PPE.
Drinking Water: NSF/ANSI 55-certified filtration/UV systems, 5-10,000 L/day, freeze-resistant for -40°C.
Remediation: Bioremediation and pump-and-treat systems, meeting MECP soil/water standards. All solutions are designed for 20-50 year lifespans, tailored to OBC and MECP requirements.
Our turn-key process includes:
Assessment: Site evaluations, soil/water testing, and ECA applications.
Design: Custom plans for wastewater, water, or remediation, per OBC/MECP.
Installation: System setup with GPS-guided equipment, helicopter access for remote sites.
Compliance: Post-project testing and reporting to MECP/Spills Action Centre. Projects are completed in 3-10 days, minimizing disruption in Northern Ontario’s challenging landscapes.
Systems last 20-50 years with:
Wastewater: Pumping every 3-5 years, filter checks annually.
Spill Response: Quarterly kit inspections, restocking as needed.
