Negotiate, remediate, execute. We take the file wherever it's stalled and carry it through to closure, within a reasonable timeframe!
A notice of non-compliance, a remediation order, a notice of execution, or an environmental prosecution isn't settled on paper. It's resolved by understanding what actually happened on the ground, then correcting the situation while respecting the disturbed environments and ecosystems. That's the heart of our expertise: taking on a file, whatever stage it's at, and carrying it through to closure.
A waterway channelized without authorization, a wetland filled in, an incomplete characterization that missed a critical element, work in wetlands or waterbodies that doesn't comply with regulations: the situations vary, but the starting point is often the same. The ministry has issued a notice of non-compliance, sometimes a notice of execution, and the business or citizen involved lacks the technical means to respond. Our team then takes charge of the file, from the first contact through to the execution of the work: direct negotiation with MELCCFP and municipalities to rework the timeline while work progresses; the field work required to reposition a waterway or restore a wetland; plans and specifications; and complete execution of the work on site. When a file is contested, we also act as expert witnesses before the courts, to establish the true nature of an environment and defend the file through to remediation.
Complete review of the history: notices received, existing reports, correspondence with the ministry. We identify what was missed and what's urgent.
Development of the negotiation strategy and of a corrective action plan tailored to the situation.
Direct contact with MELCCFP to suspend or postpone enforcement measures while the file is being resolved, and to prevent the government from sending its own team to the site.
Execution of the corrective work according to the defined parameters, with follow-up through to the closure of the file.
Same owners, same team, new name. The expertise you have trusted for years, with a new look.
