When dealing with major infrastructure projects, public funding, and close government oversight, you need a team that is experienced and ready to mobilize. Our scientists have decades of experience in environmental permitting and planning and are highly specialized in their fields.
Whether it’s conducting a wildlife survey in the field or managing data and documentation for the permitting process, our team has the experience to get things done. We’ve worked with numerous government agencies, including the US Army Corps of Engineers, US Navy, Environmental Protection Agency, National Park Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Federal Aviation Administration, and Federal Highway Administration, to name a few. We’ve also been recognized by the National Marine Fisheries Service for the outstanding quality of our Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) impact assessments and biological assessments.
