ERIS Express

Environmental Risk Information Services (ERIS) provides a service that looks up information from federal, provincial and private source databases and displays them on a map which includes the property you are studying and a 250 m or even a 300 m radius around the center point or property boundaries.

They have options for Standard Reports (typically for Canadian Standard Association or CSA level studies) and Record of Site Condition (RSC for Ontario Regulation studies).

Recently, I discovered that they also have an express report.  I have only tried it for a CSA level report. It was surprisingly helpful since it generated a report instantly (instead of waiting five or so business days) and was good enough for the report I intended to write. This was available for only $20 CDN more than the Standard Report.

This may be a new trend for cutting down the timeline for a completed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report.

I may add more information about ERIS at a future date.
