Environmental Studies Services
WSSI provides objective and insightful investigations into the plants, animals, water resources, and soils on prospective and planning-stage sites to help ensure that our clients are in compliance with all Federal, state, and local environmental regulations. We also save our clients time and money by obtaining permit approvals smoothly and quickly. We begin coordinating with all applicable regulatory agencies long before submitting a formal permit application by reviewing proposed site plans with each agency to determine permit feasibility and to uncover potential environmental or cultural resource impacts. This lets our clients address any potential conflicts before investing additional funds in project development. We also conduct kick-off meetings with the project`s site engineers and land planners to ensure that all parties fully understand the project`s permitting requirements.
During the permitting process, we conduct site visits with agency staff to further evaluate and assess proposed impacts to wetlands and other Waters of the U.S. Our comprehensive in-house resources allow us to promptly and completely respond to all agency inquiries and requests for additional data, and extensive experience preparing permit applications means fewer agency inquiries during permit review. Throughout every step of the permitting process, we keep our clients apprised on their permit status and notified about the specifics of each permit or agency letter issued for their project.
During project construction, we work with the client and contractors to insure that ongoing projects remain in compliance with their permit conditions. Our technical expertise with Best Management Practices and Erosion and Sediment (E&S) Control products and techniques save our clients time and money while reducing environmental impacts and keeping them in compliance with various permit conditions and monitoring requirements.
