| Blueridge Water Hauling Ltd., in addition to providing drill water, potable water and water access to the oil and gas industry, also provides vegetation management services focused on plant sites, leases and right of ways |
|
Blueridge Water Hauling Ltd. provides these
services by developing, with clients, an integrated vegetation management
program that evolves over a 3 to 5 year period. |
|
| Blueridge recognizes that each site is
unique and may require a different approach or solution. |
|
A blanket approach of using non-selective or residual
herbicides may not be appropriate. |
|
| Oil and gas companies have many stakeholders
to satisfy. |
|
Meeting legislated requirements may not be enough to
satisfy local or community concerns. |
|
| Blueridge strives to provide a proactive
approach to vegetatation management that meets the requirements
of our client in regard to their sites and their stakeholders. |
|
An Integrated Vegetation
Management Program provides safe, effective and economical services
while achieving the greatest practical and environmental benefits
for clients and their communities. |
|
| An Integrated Vegetation Management approach
combines mechanical, biological and cultural vegetation methods to
best achieve vegetation management. |
|
Issues, goals and methods are defined and cross matched
to ensure they are complementary and will satisfy cost requirements
and concerns of the community. |
|
| An Integrated Vegetation Management approach
saves the client time and money and minimizes environmental and safety
liabilities. |
|
An Integrated Vegetation Management approach may:
-
form the basis of regulatory approval
-
provide a basis of comparing current techniques
to industry standards
-
improve communications to employees, contractors,
regulators and the local community about the client’s
program
-
demonstrate that the client is doing everything
a reasonable person would do to protect the environment, workers
and the community from any negative consequences of their work
-
tie the plan to contract requirements to make
sure that everyone is working to the same standards
|
|
| Blueridge Water Hauling Ltd. is interested
in working with clients who are interested in a proactive approach
to integrated vegetatation management as a means of meeting or exceeding
the requirements of their various stakeholders. |
|
The process includes the following elements:
- define the site and its vegetation
- define the goals of the program
- identify the best vegetation management methods available
- define sensitive environmental areas and community issues
