We have provided environmental services for federal and state agencies for 40 years. We develop strategies that address environmental challenges and meet regulatory requirements. We have completed hundreds of projects nationwide that require environmental assessments, impact statements, and specialized environmental studies in support of planning activities and the design, permitting, construction and operation of facilities. Our experience covers such diverse facilities such as military installations, cargo terminals, highways, electric transmission lines, natural gas pipelines (marine and terrestrial), marine-based telecommunications cable routes, railroads, airports, hydroelectric facilities and fossil fuel plants.

Normandeau has extensive experience with the Endangered Species Act and has worked closely with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as several State Natural Heritage Programs, to evaluate potential impacts to rare, threatened, and endangered organisms, and develop mitigation to protect them. We are certified by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5, as well as by state agencies such as the New Jersey Endangered and Nongame Species Program, and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, to conduct searches for the dwarf wedge mussel.
