Project Tag: Regulatory Application Development

Wastewater Containment Structures

Provided the siting, geotechnical investigation, preliminary/detailed engineering, regulatory package, procurement, and construction services required for 2 x 50,000 m3 saline water storage ponds in NE BC. Collected orthorectified imagery with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which was used to provide periodic excavation and fill volumes. Provided onsite QA/QC construction services. Successful in obtaining approval from BC Regulator. Implementation of an innovative outtake system.

Freshwater Containment Structure

Site investigation & assessment, detailed reservoir and associated infrastructure design, contractor tender services, and on-site construction management services

Engineering Services for Water Main Replacement

A small section of a potable water main on Salt Spring Island was exposed within a creek crossing and sustained external damage. Integrated Sustainability was retained to replace the section of the water main and install the new section one meter below the creek bed, as per updated BC regulatory guidelines.

Aerobic Landfill Conversion

Engineering design review, regulatory support, construction QA/QC, and comissioning to Convert approximately 62 acres of an existing landfill to an aerobic landfill designed to reduce methane content at the landfill and qualify for carbon credits.

Hydrogeological Assessment – Mining Operations

Integrated Sustainability was commissioned to prepare a hydrogeological assessment in support of reopening a mine that has been in various stats of operation since the 1970’s.

River Intake Evaluation and Application

Prepare, submit and gain approval for a Water Act Term License on a waterbody for which there are currently no approved term licences.

Expedited Environmental Field Investigation

Obtain landowner agreements to complete field investigations in a condensed, 3-week timeframe to prevent winter delays.

Regulatory & Environmental Secondment

Support regulatory applications to construct and operate a green field, oil sands steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) project.

Site Soils Assessments

Soils Assessment Program to determine if there are any areas of environmental concern and support a British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) Certificate of Restoration (COR) for the site.

Groundwater Source Evaluation and Licensing (Saskatchewan)

Evaluation of the Judith River Aquifer and potential impacts of water withdrawals on nearby cross-border water users, with the intent of securing a long term-water license in Saskatchewan.

Water Resources Development

Appraisal and installation of large-scale industrial water source(s) for hydraulic fracturing and camp water supply for unconventional gas development in NE BC.

Groundwater Monitoring Programs

Develop a Groundwater Monitoring Program to align with site-specific constraints and client-specific operational criteria and optimize a solution that meets regulatory compliance and achieves project objectives.
