Our regulatory staff procure Clean Water Act permit approvals required to create and maintain the built environment. Our extensive experience preparing complete and accurate permit applications results in fewer agency questions during the review process -- saving our clients both time and money by obtaining permit approvals smoothly and quickly.
We begin by coordinating with all applicable regulatory agencies long before submitting a formal permit application by reviewing proposed site plans with each agency to determine permit feasibility and to uncover potential environmental or cultural resource impacts. This lets our clients address any potential conflicts before investing additional funds in project development. Once a permit is issued, we work with our clients to ensure projects stay in compliance with numerous permit conditions and monitoring requirements during construction.
