GBK helps clients and lead agencies comply with environmental regulations necessary for both project entitlement and operational continuity. We offer the professional qualifications and practical experience required for preparing efficient and effective Preliminary Studies; Environmental Impact Assessments; Findings of No Significant Impact, and Environmental Impact Statements for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
For projects subject to NEPA, we conduct initial environmental surveys that clearly define the potential range of impacts and scope the environmental review. Subsequently, applicable standards and significance criteria, appropriate design measures, and impact avoidance techniques are applied. Clear mitigation measure and monitoring procedures are then developed for any remaining potential impacts. We also routinely work with the lead agency to develop a range of alternatives appropriate for the plan or project.
