Physical Setting Report

Physical Setting Report – The 'PSR'

The ERIS Physical Setting Report (PSR) provides comprehensive information about the physical setting surrounding a site and includes a complete overview of topography and surface topology, in addition to hydrologic, geologic and soil characteristics. The location and detailed attributes of oil and gas wells, water wells, public water systems and radon are also included for review.

What information does a PSR include?

  • Attributes: Elevation, Slope Direction
• Hydrologic Information
  • Wetland Map and Flood Map
  • Provincial Significant Wetland (PSW) Map (NB and ON)
• Geologic Information
  • Bedrock Geology Map
    • Attributes: Bedrock Units, Primary/Secondary Rock Type, Geological Timescale, Strata, Lithology, Tectonic Zones, Geological Province
  • Surficial Geology Map
    • Attributes: Surficial Geology Units, Unit Description, Material, Texture, Age
