About Us - A Leader in Environmental Risk Information

COMPREHENSIVE PHASE I ESA ENVIRONMENTAL DATA AND HISTORICAL PRODUCTS FOR PROPERTIES IN THE US, CANADA AND MEXICO

Environmental Risk Information Services (ERIS) has been providing critical risk and historical information on properties in Canada since 1999. In late 2013, ERIS launched in the US, as the first and only company to provide environmental risk information for both countries. Since 2017, ERIS offers information for Mexico – full North American coverage.

ERIS delivers accurate, affordable, comprehensive on-demand database research and risk assessment services quickly.

What Our Environmental Risk Information Customers Say

"Before Scriva, reports from different offices within our company lacked uniformity. Now, with Scriva, we have streamlined our reporting process and now generate reports from a single platform. Not only does this save time, but it also ensures a consistent and professional presentation meeting the ASTM standard more effectively. Scriva is not just a time-saving tool; it's a comprehensive solution that enhances the quality and consistency of our work."

Loren M. Ruttinger, P.E. Civil Engineer
“Thanks to Scriva, a simple Phase I ESA that used to take a day or two can now be done in half the time. The ability to make it my own report and the productivity boost have made a significant impact on our workflow. The upfront work, including adding libraries, repeat fields, and ensuring language and format consistency, not only saves hours but also guarantees that every report maintains the same professional appearance and content.  We are now able to accomplish more in significantly less time while guaranteeing the uniformity and high quality of each report we deliver.”

Charlene A Webber, P.G. Founder/Executive Vice President
In addition to producing a radius report that was easier for me to study as the consultant, ERIS has developed reports that are easy to read through with my clients as well. Over the years ERIS has continued to hold the top position on my list of database research providers by constantly innovating new value add-ons to their packages without additional cost. The ERIS Mobile app was a big plus for our company and my clients. The ability to have the historical aerials, topographic maps, and database information in the palm of my hand while I'm conducting the site reconnaissance made the field work more focused and discreet, saving time and money. Additionally, the ability to georeference site photos with field notes and compile them into a photolog report trimmed down on hours of reporting time previously spent combing through hundreds of site photos and generating those logs manually. That's not even considering the additional time needed to convert HEIC photos to JPG if your field technician has an iPhone. That conversion is done in the app, eliminating even more time spent on just an appendix of the Phase I ESA report. Being an ERIS user has allowed me to devote more time to painting a complete and detailed picture of environmental risk for my clients instead of organizing my information palette. Thank you, ERIS!

Lou Locatelli Trinity Consultants
ARCADIS has been acquiring search reports from ERIS for several of their Phase I ESA projects throughout Canada especially in Québec, Ontario and Alberta. ERIS reports are designed for each province as they respond to local standards for such project. ERIS provides flexibility as they offer a wide range of search information that can be purchase on an “À la carte basis”. Hence, it is possible to purchase a search report that will contain all mandatory search documentation for a particular province and complete it with supplemental documentation for more complex sites as necessary. ARCADIS appreciates the services provided by ERIS as they deliver on time and take the time to understand your needs in order to assist you and guide you to select the most suitable documentation for your project.

Stephan Moushian Public Works & Government Services Canada
ERIS’ database services are an invaluable source of information. They provide the easiest means of identifying critical records in a cost-effective manner. Efficient and effective is how we describe this business solution.

Clifford Eng AMEC Foster Wheeler
In our experience the ERIS Report is usually an essential component to a cost effective and complete Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. It provides a critical range of information that is necessary to conduct a proper historical review of the risks associated with a site in a way that is more cost effective than searching each data set independently. The order of an ERIS Report is a simple process that provides a quality product in a timely manner. Further, the ERIS Staff are very helpful and responsive when specialty products are required to meet unique site and project needs.

Tadd Berger, M.Sc., EP, P.Ag., CSAP Pinchin West Ltd.
ERIS is a great place to start when gathering facts on a site.

Debbie Elmhirst Davies, Ward, Phillips, & Vineberg
The environmental database was very comparable to EDR's database. It was very user friendly and I had no issues transitioning from EDR to the ERIS format while writing the database section of my report.
