B. Laing Associates, Inc. has extensive knowledge of, and experience in, wetland permitting, delineation, and mitigation (restoration and creation). We have conducted wetland studies throughout the Eastern United States, from Maine to Mississippi, as well as Washington, Alaska, and Pakistan. In permitting, we have helped clients obtain individual Clean Water Act 404 permits, nationwide permits, state permits, local approvals and tax appeals. Permitted projects range from large million+ square-foot malls, installation of bridges and roadways, and restoring industrial waterfronts, to smaller projects like new commercial buildings and expansions of existing structures.
Wetland projects always begin with recognition of the wetland/upland boundary (i.e., wetland delineation). The many hundreds of delineations conducted by B. Laing Associates, Inc. have ranged from pre-purchase reconnaissance efforts to fully comprehensive, three parameter-sampling methodologies, with sub-meter GPS/GNSS mapping. The existing condition of the wetland and project impacts can be determined by computer-based wetland and ecological modeling including Habitat Evaluation Procedures, Wetland Evaluation Techniques, Incremental Instream Flow Analysis, Evaluation of Planned Wetlands and a range of other quantitative methodologies. B. Laing Associates, Inc. personnel have also conceived and designed more than 600 acres- and supervised the construction of more than 350 acres- of wetland mitigation and restoration. As such, we are one of the nation’s leading firms in this field, and can provide both innovative and practical methodologies to receive project approvals and implement project construction. Our staff contains professionals certified as CPESC and PWS. Back to Commercial Services |
