Documentation for environmental and remediation work in Alberta

Remediation runs in stages over years. Soil is excavated, taken away to be cleaned and brought back, and each stage looks much like the last in a photograph taken from ground level. Aerial capture records the whole worked area on every visit in a form that compares directly against the previous one, which is what turns a folder of images into a record.

Where a program sits on agricultural land, multispectral capture over the crop adds a second thread: vegetation response across the affected ground, measured against the rest of the field, season after season. On a program now in its third year that produces a baseline nobody can reconstruct after the fact.

We document what was captured. Conclusions about soil recovery or site closure belong to the agronomist, the environmental consultant and the qualified professional signing them, and the record exists for them to read rather than in place of them.

Work is scheduled around the remediation crew's own program, and locations are kept off public material by default. A three year program on a specific quarter is identifiable to anyone working that corner of the industry, so legal land descriptions, operators and contractors stay out of anything published.
