1 Novel Approaches to Integrated Environmental Monitoring and Management Craig Vatcher CET, Btech Senior Project Manager Nick Walters MASc, EIT Environmental Engineer Scott Penton BASc, PEng Principal Air Quality Sound & Vibration Sustainable Water Wind & Climate Novus Environmental Inc. 150 Research Lane, Suite 105, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 4T2 Novus West Inc Avenue SW, Suite 600, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2R 1K7

2 Air Quality Monitoring Recordum airpointer & Aeroqual AQM 65 (NO/NO2/NOX, NH3, O3, H2S, SO2, PM2.5/10, VOC) + additional sensors Simple met stations can also be integrated or set up as stand alone monitors

3 Vibration Monitoring Wifi and Cellular Data connections for real time monitoring Smartphone control, data acquisition, and alerts

4 Noise Monitoring Larson Davis 831 Noise Tutor / Bruel & Kjaer Type 2270 Allow for drop & go long term noise monitoring Local data logging and cellular data for real time monitoring and alerts

5 Integrated Monitoring Example Wind Turbine Monitoring Complete Integrated Equipment & Data Management o Met parameters w/ anemometers & sensors o Environmental Noise (airborne + ground borne) o Vibration o Video All data live streamed for remote monitoring and logged locally

6 Integrated Modelling Integrated modelling across software packages Creates model consistency Reduces effort required to generate and QA models Sketchup -> AERMOD -> Cadna/A Revit -> SAP2000

7 Google Earth / QGIS for Data Management Simplify & increase QA accuracy Improve internal organization Identify trends and patterns

8 Google Earth / QGIS for Data Management Database management Perform analysis / calculations Python based scripting for large scale analysis Visual data for presentation and reporting

9 Drones Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

10 Unmanned Aerial Systems Current Uses Site surveys and rooftop layouts Source identification Aerial imagery

11 Unmanned Aerial Systems Current Uses Construction monitoring Terrain / area surveys GPS routing with waypoints

12 Unmanned Aerial Systems

13 Other benefits Pipeline maintenance Agriculture (monitoring, surveys, spraying) Construction site monitoring Volumetric surveys (stockpiles & quarries) Cost and liability Unmanned Aerial Systems Legislation US Limited commercial use currently, still in Federal Register for proposed rules

14 UAS Requirements Transport Canada

15 UAS Requirements Transport Canada

16 Air Quality Monitoring Potential Novel Approaches Integration of sensors with UAS in difficult to reach areas Deployment of remote sensors / units in remote locations On-board sensors o Real-time / data-logging solutions o Collection for post flight analysis Tailings ponds, off site monitoring, screening level surveys GPS route for UAS to remotely monitor large facilities or pipelines Integration of thermal imaging, VOC detection, etc.

17 Potential Novel Approaches Integrating 3D scanning to map building & areas Directly input to AERMOD / CALPUFF / CadnaA Terrain modelling through LiDAR Low cost noise monitors in remote locations with cellular capabilities Replace helicopter set up and tear down for fly-in only sites Deployable through drone/uas Crowd-sourced meteorological data Qualitative initiatives already popular (i.e., accuweather) Integration of barometric sensors to smartphones, real-time updates with increased accuracy
