Services
Stream Typing
Stream typing determines fish presence or absence to classify streams for buffer requirements under Forest Practices. We assess Type F and Type Np/Ns streams to establish proper management protocols. Our work ensures compliance with regulatory standards for land development projects.
Wetland Delineations
Our certified wetland scientists conduct jurisdictional delineations to define wetland boundaries and buffer zones. We provide detailed reports for regulatory compliance and mitigation planning, including lower-level reconnaissance assessments for preliminary project needs.
Permitting Assistance
We help clients navigate permitting processes for critical areas, including SEPA, JARPA, and Forest Practice Applications. Our expertise ensures timely approvals while maintaining environmental compliance for complex development projects.
Fish Removal
Using certified electroshocking equipment, we safely remove and relocate fish during in-water construction. Our methods prioritize species protection and regulatory compliance for temporary habitat disruptions.
LWD Placement
We strategically place large woody debris in streams and wetlands to enhance habitat, stabilize banks, and improve spawning conditions. This practice supports aquatic biodiversity and long-term ecosystem health.
