Assessment & Permitting
Using science to meet regulations.
Atmospheric Sciences
Rooted in reality, educated in natural sciences, and experts in the latest regulatory and permitting compliance, we go beyond the common approach to develop ideal results for clients.
Human Environment
When we feel connected as a community, we work better together.
Ecosystems
By documenting existing conditions and determining potential impacts, we develop avoidance and mitigation measures that are cost-effective but ensure protection of fish, aquatic invertebrates, and vegetation.
eDNA
Management of protected species requires reliable methods for detecting their presence without causing them harm. eDNA allows for sampling the environment for DNA shed by organisms without capturing, handling, or observing the target species.
Environmental Health, Safety & Compliance
We have certified industrial hygienists, safety professionals, toxicologists, and other specialists developing practices that can limit your risks and liabilities.
PFAS
Our PFAS team helps assess and manage this group of chemical pollutants in line with evolving guidelines, standards, and regulations.
Remediation & Revitalization
We use our 大象传媒 to investigate, plan and implement the right solution to your challenges.
Water Resources
We help you to protect and restore sensitive water resources, explore and develop new sources of water, and manage risk resulting from sedimentation and flooding.
