JFM currently holds a Certificate of Authorization
issued by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario
(APGO) to conduct geoscience work in the course of its environmental
investigations. Under Section 15 of the Professional Geoscientists
Act, 2000, corporations that offer or provide services to the public
in Ontario that constitute the practice of Professional Geoscience
are required by March 31, 2003, to obtain and annually renew a Certificate
of Authorization from APGO.
In addition to the APGO accreditation, JFM holds
a Certificate of Authorization - General from Professional Engineers
Ontario (PEO) as required under the Professional Engineers Act to
provide engineering services to the public. In addition to authorizing
the conduct of engineering-related activities in general, PEO accreditation
is specifically required in connection with the legislative requirements
outlined in the Ontario Water Resources Act, e.g. practitioners
must hold such a Certificate in order to legally perform inspections
of water works systems in Ontario.
JFM is also appropriately licensed under the
Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000, with respect to UST handling
and removal activity, and in any related cleanup / remediation operations.
JFM maintains appropriate forms and coverage
levels of insurance with major carriers pursuant to the nature of
the environmental operations undertaken by the company. These policies
consist of Environmental Consultant's Professional Liability (i.e.
Errors & Omissions) insurance and Commercial General Liability
(CGL) coverage. JFM's CGL policy is further enhanced by Contractor
Pollution Liability coverage and a series of endorsements that enable
JFM to also operate as a remediation contractor, a waste broker,
and as a waste transporter.
For clients that require the posting of bid or performance surety
bonds in connection with our environmental remediation services,
JFM and its insurers are able to provide such assurances on a
site-specific basis where necessary.
