Regulatory Compliance
California has a unique, complex regulatory environment with overlapping and often conflicting local, state and federal regulatory requirements. Sometimes, well-designed and successfully entitled projects are never constructed because applicants are unable to navigate California’s regulatory processes and permits are not obtained.
We specialize in helping clients through California’s regulatory process. Our record of successful permitting efforts ranges from single-permit projects to sophisticated projects involving complex permitting work plans.
We appropriately combine technical excellence, valued relationships with the regulatory agencies and permitting know-how to assist our clients in timely acquisition of permits.
We work with our clients to understand project-specific goals and ensure that permit
conditions are practical, feasible and consistent.
Just a few of our landmark projects include the United States’ largest seawater desalination plant with an ocean outfall; a number of major master-planned communities in sensitive natural areas; and many of Southern California’s regional-scale habitat conservation plans.
