While not often viewed as glamorous, wetland delineations and permitting are the bread and butter of ecological consulting and typically the largest piece of most development projects. We have seen many permit applications through a successful completion and closure. We are well versed in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state requirements and methodologies, and stream and wetland qualitative analysis methodologies such as the QHEI, HHEI, ORAM, and others. Additionally, we can coordinate your offsite mitigation purchase, in-leiu fee expenditure, or perform the necessary mitigation wetland monitoring to assist in permit compliance.
Wetlands Are Not Just Wet Lands
Wetlands don’t always present themselves as clearly as what’s in this photo, but an experienced ecologist can delineate defensible boundaries so that agency coordination can be minimal and permit applications can be smooth and fast.
Mitigation Monitoring
Monitoring plans, field FQAI and VIBI investigations, adaptive management , reporting. Summit Ecological Consulting can take you through the nuts and bolts of the biology of wetland mitigation so you can get on with your project.
