BEC Environmental, Inc. (BEC)

Biological Surveys

Biological surveys are conducted to ensure that activity in a given area does not adversely impact native flora and fauna. Surveys for the presence of sensitive and endangered species are often required prior to beginning work on federally managed lands. Inter-agency coordination is critical for biological surveys, as much of the land in Nevada is managed by a variety of federal agencies. Species may be listed as threatened or endangered at the state level as well as the federal level, and entities working on publicly managed lands must be aware of these designations. Identification of the presence of threatened or endangered species allows organizations and agencies to implement mitigation measures to minimize adverse impacts and protect native species.
