Services
Stream & Wetland Permitting
All Star Ecology provides comprehensive stream and wetland permitting services with 20 certified delineators. Our team prepares Section 401/404 permit packages using rapid field assessments that identify regulatory requirements while maintaining project timelines. We coordinate directly with USACE, USFWS, and state agencies to streamline approvals for energy and infrastructure projects.
Bat Conservation
Our bat conservation program includes mist netting, acoustic monitoring, and hibernacula surveys for threatened species. We develop habitat conservation plans with artificial roost installations and landscape-level modeling to meet regulatory requirements while supporting population recovery efforts across the Appalachian region.
Freshwater Mussel Surveys
AllStar conducts freshwater mussel surveys using SCUBA and bathyscope technology in low-visibility river environments. Our malacologists perform presence/absence assessments, relocations, and Section 7 consultations for threatened species while maintaining compliance with federal water quality regulations during infrastructure projects.
Mitigation & Restoration
We design and implement stream and wetland mitigation projects with natural channel design techniques. Our services include mitigation bank development, floodplain grading, and habitat enhancement structures that create functional ecosystems meeting regulatory compensation requirements for impacted water resources.
NPDES Permit Compliance
AllStar supports NPDES permit compliance through benthic macroinvertebrate assessments, water chemistry monitoring, and physical habitat evaluations. Our scientists collect and analyze biological data using state-approved methods to demonstrate regulatory compliance for industrial and municipal discharge permits.
