Environmental Consulting Firm in Detroit, MI - Lord & Winter

Detroit, Michigan

Detroit’s landscape tells a story of transformation — from industrial powerhouse to a city reimagining its future. Along the banks of the Detroit River and across miles of urban land, new developments are reshaping neighborhoods while addressing the environmental legacy left behind. With challenges like brownfield redevelopment, complex stormwater needs, and regulatory oversight tied to the Great Lakes Basin, our Detroit-based environmental consultants deliver the strategic, informed solutions that southeast Michigan projects demand.

Local Presence

Working closely with local and state agencies, including the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD), we ensure full compliance with evolving environmental standards. Our team also engages with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District, on projects involving waterways, wetlands, and floodplain management along the Detroit River and its tributaries.

Our experience with Baseline Environmental Assessments, remediation of contaminated properties, wetland permitting, NPDES permitting, and stormwater planning helps projects move smoothly through Detroit’s complex regulatory landscape. We combine technical expertise with local insight to support sustainable growth across Southeast Michigan.
