The baseline characterization program developed and carried out by Geofirma at the Bruce nuclear site is the gold standard of Baseline Groundwater Characterization programs and the results from this program are being used by NWMO as part of their application to begin construction of the Deep Geological Repository for low and intermediate level nuclear waste.
Since 2010 Geofirma has completed a variety of desktop feasibility studies of potential sites for hosting Canada’s Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) for used nuclear fuel, as part of NWMO’s APM program. Tasks included but were not limited to, detailed review of all existing geoscientific information, GIS mapping of any constraints, and structural lineament interpretation.
Geofirma worked with South Nation Conservation Authority to develop an Aquifer Capability Screening Tool (ACST) for the City of Clarence-Rockland. This tool will be used to pre-screen potential water quantity and quality concerns for privately-serviced lots.
