What are people saying about EDI?
As a mining operation working in the challenges of a northern region, we rely heavily on our partners to be dependable, responsive, and highly competent—especially when it comes to environmental monitoring. EDI has consistently delivered exceptional service across groundwater and surface water sampling, data analysis, and regulatory reporting. What stands out most is their reliability—no matter the conditions, EDI is always well-prepared and able to adapt to whatever the site throws at them. Their friendly and professional demeanor makes them easy to work with, and their presence on site is always welcomed by our team. Their attention to detail and thoroughness in both fieldwork and reporting has given us confidence in the data and the interpretations provided. This is especially important in our regulatory context, where accuracy and defensibility are non-negotiable. Simply put, they make our job easier, and we consider them a trusted extension of our environmental team. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend EDI to any operation looking for high-quality, dependable environmental monitoring support.
Amanda Wamsteeker, Principal – Environment at Conuma Resources
I recommend EDI to any project proponent that needs a reliable, professional, and hassle-free discipline lead that works well with a team and knows how to communicate effectively.
EDI staff worked with me on several different mine projects. Their work included a range of tasks from biological and biophysical baseline field programs and reports, preparing impact statements, mitigation and monitoring plans, reviewing Fisheries Act Authorizations, addressing regulator comments in writing and in person, and presenting at public hearings as an expert witness. EDI has provided me with strategic advice and direction for several large-scale mining proposals, which resulted in obtaining permits for construction and operation. EDI has been an essential component of the assessment leadership team and provided sound opinions and advice on approaches at competitive rates. I have always found them professional to work with.
