Wetlands and Natural Habitats
Identification and delineation of wetlands, identification of fauna/flora protected species, habitat characterization, determination of river riparian strips, implementation of vegetal engineering techniques to the stabilization of river banks, request for certificate of authorization.
Typical Activities
- Inspection and technical advice to identify and delineate the presence of wetlands subject to the second paragraph of Article 22 of the Environmental Quality Act.
- Wildlife and floristic inventory, characterization, and mapping of various sensitive areas (rivers, lakes, ponds, marshes, marshes, peat bogs).
- Assessment of the presence of protected plant or animal species under The Threatened and Vulnerable Species Act.
- Identification of Natural High Water Line (LHE) and the riparian strip according to Protection policy for shoes, coastlines, and floodplains.
- Application for government authorization (certificate of authorization) for work that is carried out partly or wholly in water or wetlands.
- Analysis of biophysical components and development of plant engineering techniques for shoreline stabilization.
Some Relevant Projects
- Characterization and mapping wetlands for the development of residential, commercial and industrial lands in Quebec.
- Technical advice on the presence of wetlands in several municipalities throughout Quebec.
- Request for certificates of authorization for the purpose of backfilling wetlands.
- Impact study on the restoration of the river bank along an old metal processing plant using different techniques of plant engineering for the stabilization of the banks.
