Our staff has nationwide experience working within a variety of ecosystems and are familiar with numerous species’ habitat components, life histories, and agency-approved survey methods. EA staff assess project-related impacts and consult with regulatory agencies to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate habitat impact.
Under several task orders, EA has completed numerous surveys to support Air National Guard Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans nationwide. We have recently completed flora and fauna surveys at 32 ANG installations, 28 installation-wide wetland delineations, 19 bat surveys, 10 invasive species (flora/fauna) surveys, 4 erosion studies, 13 ESA protocol surveys, and 28 revised or new INRMPs.
Protected species services helped keep EPA’s Copper Bluff Mine pilot test on schedule while meeting biological resource compliance needs. EA completed habitat and wildlife surveys, prepared biological assessments, and coordinated consultation with USFWS and the Hoopa Valley Tribe. This work reduced risk, supported regulatory alignment, and avoided project delays.
EA has led over 50 task orders for natural resources ranging from the construction of ungulate exclusion fences, ESA-protected plant salvage and translocation, Marianas fruit bat surveys, removal of feral ungulates within environmentally sensitive lands, wildland fire management plan implementation, development of the Biosecurity Plan at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, INRMP updates, and the Programmatic Biological Assessment for the Joint Region Marianas natural resources management projects
