Water Quality Monitoring

  • Conduct routine monitoring of surface water quality parameters, such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), metals, pathogens, and other contaminants. This may involve collecting water samples from various locations and analyzing them in laboratory.

Pollution Prevention and Control

  • Implement pollution prevention measures to minimize discharge of contaminants into surface water bodies. This may include implementing best management practices (BMPs), such as erosion and sediment control measures, stormwater management, and wastewater treatment.

Environmental Assessment

  • Conducting environmental assessments and audits to evaluate potential environmental impacts of proposed projects or existing operations.
  • Perform monitoring and sampling activities to measure levels of physical, chemical, and biological agents in workplace environment.

Regulatory Compliance

  • Advising clients on environmental regulations and ensuring compliance with local, state/provincial, and federal environmental laws and standards.

Site Investigation and Report Writing

  • Performing site investigations to identify contamination or potential environmental hazards, such as soil or water pollution.
