Featured Projects

*Project 8*: Located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, Project 8 has a rich and complex history of land use, business activities, and regulatory requirements. Spanning 33 acres of gently rolling hills dissected by two small streams, this rural site posed various environmental challenges. Northwest Geoscience was approached by a local law firm to address permitting, regulatory compliance, and remediation needs. We delivered a comprehensive solution that balanced our client's objectives, regulatory management principles, and environmental responsibility.
