Strategic Environmental Planning and Permitting
Environmental rules which regulate large projects can be surprisingly extensive. Environmental permitting awareness early in the planning stages is critical to not only avoiding costly modifications to a project, but also to ensure a given project is even feasible within current environmental rules. For large development projects, environmental permits can commonly include: Air Quality Permits, DNR Protected Waters Permits, Erosion Control Permits, Listed Species Permits, NPDES Permits, SDS Permits, SSTS Permits, Stormwater Permits, Water Appropriation Permits, Wetland Mitigation Permits, and more. Most developers cannot afford to have an environmental consultant on-staff to advise them, and the inability to obtain just one environmental permit can prevent the entire project from occurring.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIFIC COMMENTS
Although it's important to know what type of environmental permits will be required, it's more important to have an idea whether obtaining these necessary permits is even possible. Environmental Scientific clients have most appreciated knowing what can be expected up front, allowing them to prepare more accurate project goals and completion schedules.
