Whether it’s new construction, coastal redevelopment, building demolition or municipal program compliance, virtually all projects are required to undergo an environmental quality review and process a combination of permits, approvals and certifications. Our team of environmental review and permitting experts work with clients to navigate through the environmental quality review process and permitting applications, strategically integrating themselves into various phases to identify and mitigate potential impacts.
Each environmental quality review and permitting process allows our team to leverage their extensive experience and qualifications with an array of federal, state and local agencies. We possess the necessary knowledge of federal, state, and local environmental regulations and procedures to ensure that sensitive environmental resources are considered, assessed and protected during project planning and that the environmental quality review and permitting process creates an unobstructed path for project progress.
