WIND DEVELOPMENT In recent years, in response to a growing demand for alternative and renewable sources of energy, Hemmera has developed specialized environmental assessment (EA) services that focus on the development and operation of wind energy infrastructure across western Canada. In order to provide effective EA services to wind power clients, Hemmera has built a dedicated team of professionals that closely follow national and international wind power projects and maintain knowledge of trends in wind power development. Hemmera is currently coordinating EAs for a number of windfarms that are in the early stages of development across Canada. Our services to the wind energy industry include: EA coordination and project management (through federal / provincial and harmonized processes) First Nation and public consultation Developing Terms of Reference for technical and environmental studies Providing access to a network of environmental professionals (with specialized knowledge of local/regional ecosystems) Coordinating Environmental Impact Assessment studies and analyzing results and implications Strategic advice on environmental / regulatory / First Nation's issues Compiling required Environmental Assessment documentation (provincial and federal reports)
