ERIN Consulting Ltd. was founded in 1995 as an environmental consulting firm. We offer a wide range of environmental services to companies in Canada and the world. Our staff expertise ranges from biology to engineering and planning. Our clients include companies in oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, education, communications, public housing and government sectors.
ERIN Consulting Ltd€™s office is located at Suite 200-2825 Saskatchewan Drive in Regina, Saskatchewan and is part of the growing environmental industry in Saskatchewan. Our fieldwork has taken us throughout western Canada with projects in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, Central and South America.
ERIN Consulting Ltd. has developed a number of significant strategic alliances with environmental industry partners. These alliances include companies with expertise in biotechnology, remote sensing, geotechnical engineering and heritage resources. This allows us to offer a full range of environmental services, including: • General environmental consulting
• Eco-Industrial Networking
• Preparation of environmental management systems
• Environmental auditing services
• Site assessments
• Site remediation
• Laboratory services
• Bioremediation design and implementation
• Biological assessments
• Environmental impact assessment
• Environmental training courses and programs
• Environmental information management
• Community relations programs
• Government relations programs
• Emergency response planning
Although we have undertaken work in all of these areas, our major area of focus pertains to ecological management. This approach includes landscape ecology, industrial ecology, environmental policy development, bioremediation, phytoremediation and more traditional environmental consulting services. These latter services include environmental impact assessment audits and training.
We are committed to providing the highest quality environmental services to our clients. We maintain a high degree of technical ability and knowledge of environmental issues and technology in our staff.
1. Services Provided
Ecological Management
ERIN Consulting Ltd. has developed an approach to environmental management that emphasises ecological management as the primary method to use in any environmental management strategy or program. By reviewing projects on an ecological basis, broad management requirements can be met that will ensure practical environmental management. At the same time, specific issues that need special attention can also be identified and given the attention they deserve.
ERIN Consulting recognized three key components of ecological management: landscape ecology, industrial ecology and cultural ecology.
Landscape Ecology
Landscape ecology recognized the importance of the landscape in environmental management. It focuses on the evaluation and protection of enduring features in the environment. As well, it considers habitat for plants and animals, including humans, as one of the key components for environmental management. Landscape ecology emphasises the aspects of the environment, which are necessary to sustain its long term health and survival. It includes species in jeopardy as important parts of the environment but de-emphasises single species or single use management.
Eco-Industrial Development/Industrial Ecology
Industrial ecology is often referred to as the science of sustainability. Industrial ecology attempts to manage the environmental impacts of business and industry as if they were ecological systems. The primary foci for industrial ecology are in waste reduction or elimination, improved efficiency and environmental quality management.
The tools of industrial ecology include: industrial metabolism (which manages material flows), input-output analysis (which manages energy flows), design for environment (which manages environmental impacts pertaining to project design), life cycle analysis (which manages environmental impacts during the life of a product) and pollution prevention (which identifies ways to prevent pollution).
Industrial ecology represents a consistent attempt to merge environment and business priorities. By using business management practices to evaluate environmental practices, it is possible to find cost effective environmental solutions that can be incorporated into business terms.
ERIN Consulting is a leader in western Canada in the application of eco-industrial development including eco-industrial auditing and the design of eco-industrial parks.
Cultural Ecology
Cultural ecology is the science that tries to understand the relationship of people to the environment. This includes how people use the environment and the impacts that the environment has on them. An extension to this is the evaluation of the impacts of development on people. The information and processes used in cultural evaluation can range from public consultation to interviews and data collection. One emerging area in cultural ecology is the use of traditional knowledge in environmental planning.
Information Management
Information management is one of the most important and often over looked aspects of environmental management. At a time when data and information requirements can be overwhelming we provide a service to manage your data and develop information products that our clients can use for their environmental management needs.
We can review client's information management requirements and design information management systems for them. We review and prepare data summaries for government reporting including StatsCan and NPRI reporting.
We routinely utilize a variety of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to assist us in evaluating ecological and other environmental problems and develop databases and management plans. These plans can be either simplistic in nature or highly complex and many layered in nature depending upon the needs of the client.
Other Environmental Services
In addition to the ecological management approach outlined above, ERIN Consulting is pleased to offer a range of traditional environmental services including the following areas.
Environmental Policy
