| Hydrogeological Investigations
Cambium Environmental’s team of experts work with clients to find cost-effective solutions to environmental challenges that meet the approval of regulatory agencies and other stakeholders. Hydrogeological assessment projects completed have included baseline surveys prior to site development, impact assessments associated with anthropogenic activities at a property, and assessments associated with water resource development and protection.
Various tools, including stereo air photo interpretation, geophysical surveys, test well installation, field sampling, field measurements, and numerical computer modeling have been used to characterize water resources within a defined area. Watershed boundaries are delineated using topographic controls and water balance calculations. Numerical modeling is often used to described and illustrate the existing or future subsurface conditions within an area of study.

Drinking Water Systems in Ontario
Ontario’s drinking water system legislation, the Safe Drinking Water Act, came into force 2002. Under this legislation, nearly all drinking water systems that provide potable water to the public are required to take measures to mitigate risks to human health. The compliance requirements for a regulated drinking water system depend upon the characteristics and classification of the system as prescribed in the regulations.
Cambium Environmental Inc. provides Drinking Water System Compliance Programs to public and private sector clients to satisfy a complete range of service requirements. Contact us to speak with one of our qualified staff members to discuss your drinking water system circumstances and learn how we can eliminate uncertainties and provide you with practical solutions that are tailored to your specific needs.
Wastewater System Evaluation & Design
Wastewater systems pose a risk to water resources. This risk is mainly influenced by:
|
Proximity to a water source
|
|
Local groundwater vulnerability |
|
Type of treatment system and quality of effluent |
|
Operational procedures and operator knowledge |
|
Condition and age of the system components |
Cambium Environmental Inc. has the experience and expertise necessary to successfully develop wastewater treatment solutions appropriate for the site-specific constraints and challenges faced by our clients in both the public and private sectors. The scope of services available includes:
