Facility-wide review of environmental permits, approvals, and regulatory obligations: gap analysis, corrective action planning, and audit documentation for industrial and commercial operations.

How does a compliance audit relate to our engineering project?

Facility upgrades (new equipment, increased production, fuel switching) often trigger new environmental permit requirements: additional ECA amendments, noise studies, or air emission assessments. We identify these requirements early so they don't delay your engineering project.

Key Deliverables

• Comprehensive environmental compliance audit report
• Permit and approval inventory (ECAs, C of As, waste registrations)
• Gap analysis against current regulatory requirements
• Corrective action plan with priority ranking and timelines
• Regulatory submission support for identified gaps

What is an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA)?

An ECA is an Ontario permit issued by MECP for activities that discharge contaminants to air, water, or land. Most industrial operations need ECAs for air emissions, noise, stormwater, and industrial wastewater. Non-compliance can result in provincial officer orders and penalties.
