Efficient facilitation of environmental permitting can save time and money. Many local, state, and federal permits require applicants to engage in lengthy processes before they can break ground. Complex negotiations with government agencies and consultation on endangered or threatened species are often necessary before a permit is issued.
Through years of preparing permit applications, we have gained a thorough knowledge of federal, state, and local regulations. Our expertise with federal, state, and local permits and documents includes the following:
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 10/404 Permits
- Federal Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification
- Endangered Species Act
- Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA)
- Shoreline Management Act
- State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
