Our environmental scientists and planners are well versed in working with project development teams including engineers, economists, and program managers. Through this approach, we have saved federal, state, municipal, and private clients countless months of schedule delay and millions of dollars in cost. In the current environmental climate, consultation with a wide variety of stakeholders is essential to the acceptance and timely completion of new projects. Consulting with stakeholders through the public involvement process, EA’s goal is to enhance mutual understanding of the project and facilitate partnership and collaboration. Our professional staff is specially trained to engage the community through extension and outreach efforts. By using communication as an effective tool, EA fosters public participation and full disclosure, as well as agency consultation.
