What is Compliance Monitoring?

Compliance monitoring is a service that is offered to help insure that activities being conducted in a particular area are in compliance with permit specifications, environmental and agency regulations, landowner stipulations, etc.

Why is compliance monitoring necessary?

With the ever-increasing number of environmental regulations, there has become an amplified amount of focus by regulatory agencies on development and exploration activities conducted in sensitive areas. In addition, landowners have an increased awareness of the importance of their property in ecosystem health and revenue generation.

In many instances, local, state, and federal agencies, as well as landowners, require third party monitoring in order to protect their interests and the resources of the area.

Other times, it is in the best interest of a company to hire consultants to do compliance monitoring. It alleviates liability and minimizes the likelihood of permit violations. In addition, the consultants can guide the company with valuable information and suggestions on how to impart the least amount of impact to the environment, thus lowering remediation/mitigation costs and other liabilities that are typically incurred upon completion of a project.
