Project Highlights
Our team assisted a surface mining company with environmental compliance, including water quality protection, to restart operations at an existing 252-acre, inactive surface mine located along Mississippi Mile Marker 71.5. We also managed the necessary environmental permit applications and transfers, streamlining permitting efforts for a shorter time to construction.
We supported a 6-mile natural gas utility line extension project with services such as wetland delineations and stream hydrologic determination reviews. Twenty-seven watercourses were crossed by the utility expansion. We also completed cultural resource surveys and endangered species assessments, helping to avoid impact on sensitive areas and lower mitigation costs.
