Environmental Assessments
We conduct comprehensive environmental assessments to evaluate potential impacts of development projects on ecosystems and human health. Our assessments identify regulatory requirements, mitigation strategies, and compliance pathways. Services include SEQRA documentation, habitat mapping, and endangered species surveys to ensure sustainable project outcomes.
Wetland Delineation
Our wetland delineation services follow federal and state guidelines to identify jurisdictional wetlands for permitting purposes. We prepare detailed reports for regulatory submissions, including Jurisdictional Determinations and Preconstruction Notification Numbers. This supports infrastructure projects requiring compliance with Army Corps of Engineers regulations.
SEQRA Compliance
We guide clients through New York's State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) requirements, preparing Environmental Assessment Forms and impact statements. Our team facilitates agency coordination and public hearings to secure approvals for residential, commercial, and municipal projects while addressing ecological concerns.
Stormwater Management
Our certified professionals develop Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and conduct compliance monitoring for construction sites. Services include erosion control planning, permit acquisition, and field inspections to meet municipal, state, and federal stormwater regulations.
Wildlife Surveys
We perform biological surveys to document wildlife habitats and species presence for project planning. Our assessments cover birds, mammals, amphibians, and plants, with mitigation recommendations to protect threatened species and maintain ecological balance during development.
