Water & Wildlife Permitting for Development

Environmental regulations are becoming increasingly complex, and unexpected permitting requirements can cause project delays. Having a general understanding of what features may have environmental permitting requirements, and how those regulatory processes work, will facilitate project schedules and outcomes.

Join us for this 1-hr webinar as our Environmental Science experts will be discussing ways to potentially streamline permitting processes for projects. This webinar will introduce developers, civil engineers, planners, architects, and other members of the development team to our environmental science service line, and outline some effective and efficient strategies that can help improve the success of projects.
