Services

BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. offers a range of services to meet the needs of our clients. These include:

Project Management

Our senior staff are key participants in plan and project development teams. We bring a comprehensive and expert understanding of environmental and other development-related issues to the table and can assist the team in working through a range of project options, environmental review considerations, feasible mitigation measures, and strategies for completing project and environmental processing. These understandings can be reached quickly and efficiently around the table rather than in technical reports. Our senior staff have experience on small as well as very large land, water, and utility development projects.

CEQA and NEPA Environmental Studies

Our core expertise is in preparing environmental review documents required under CEQA and NEPA. Our environmental document experience has included EIRs for 1,000-acre mixed-use development plans in the Central Valley and an EIS/EIR expansion of High Sierra ski resorts, as well as numerous and wide-ranging projects that touch on most aspects of human development activity. These projects have included residential, commercial, and industrial land development, road and bridge improvements, recreational sites and trails, wastewater collection and treatment systems, water supply development and conveyance, storm drainage facilities, and many others. BaseCamp is regularly called upon to provide peer review of environmental documents prepared by others.

Environmental Technical Studies

We can prepare or quickly obtain technical studies on a wide range of environmental subjects including biological resources, cultural resources, visual resources, agricultural impact, air quality, greenhouse gas, hazards, land use, noise, and traffic. BaseCamp staff are capable of many of these studies, but we rely heavily on a practical and experienced team of subcontracting technical specialists. When it makes more sense, we can refer you directly to one of our specialists.

Environmental Review Process Management

In difficult situations where every element of the environmental review process needs to be managed and controlled, BaseCamp can step in to manage the process. We have experience in managing the environmental review process for major development projects, including coordinating with agencies, consultants, and other stakeholders to ensure that the process is completed efficiently and effectively.
