Aviation

ERS provides aviation clients and stakeholders with a variety of ecological services. Our firm has a thorough understanding of the challenges airports face when implementing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and guidance in conjunction with environmental agency regulations. By possessing airport management experience, understanding of airport operations, and scientific knowledge of natural resource regulations, ERS provides innovative approaches to address client needs. Our use of industry standard geographic information system (GIS); computer-aided design (CAD); Global Position System (GPS); and remote sensing tools, Trimble, and Autodesk AutoCAD, supports seamless integration of geospatial-based technology with planning, management and decision needs.

Expert Testimony

Cogent testimony influences the direction and outcome of litigation. Our unsurpassed understanding of, and expertise in, regulatory and land issues endows ERS staff with formidable witness stature.

GIS Analysis & Mapping

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows ERS to efficiently and effectively assess the biophysical nature of a project site and convey the gathered data in the form of easy to understand maps and datasets.

Environmental Planning

Municipalities often take a proactive approach in planning for future development within their boundaries. This master planning ensures the appropriate locations and groupings of infrastructure, industrial, commercial, and residential resources.  Master planning on this scale is also utilized to identify and ensure the perpetuation of important ecological resources, which could be lost through more piecemeal development strategies.

Mitigation Bank Permitting

The purchase of mitigation bank credits to offset wetland impacts has become an increasingly popular mitigation option over the last ten years. Mitigation banks are ecologically superior to a patchwork of small and disjoint mitigation sites.

Protected Species

Federal and state regulatory agencies require permit applicants to demonstrate that their projects will not adversely affect listed species or their critical habitat.

Transportation

Since 1997, ERS has collaborated with various engineers and planners on over 250 transportation projects, including large scale corridor studies, PD&E studies, and both large and small-scale design projects.

Wetland Delineation & Permitting

The wetlands regulatory programs administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), state (Water Management Districts), and local agencies have become complicated and largely esoteric.
