Planning and Permitting

Aquatic Resource Assessment, Forest Knolls, California Worked as project manager and conducted a site visit to observe the conditions of existing aquatic resources and determine the location of the ordinary high water mark, the extent of the riparian canopy, and the stream conservation area buffer. Mapped these observations and summarized them in a memorandum.
Solar Project, Laughlin, Nevada On behalf of the client, provided an aquatic resources delineation report for an approximately 4,700-acre site that includes a solar field and transmission corridor. The drainages of aquatic features, onsite as well as offsite, were mapped and analyzed to determine whether federal jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act applies.
Ralston Avenue Emergency Creek Bank Recovery, Hillsborough, California Supported entitlement of a project involving construction of a site retaining wall adjacent to Ralston Avenue to stabilize a creek bank that threatened to undermine the road. Project entitlement required securing authorizations including a Department of the Army emergency permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. State authorizations included authorization pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (Regional Water Quality Control Board), which required completion of a Section 404(b)(1) alternative analysis to identify the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative. Also completed a California Department of Fish and Wildlife streambed alteration agreement application.
Grayson Road 10 Lot Subdivision Project, Contra Costa County, California Supported a project involving construction of a new small residential subdivision as well as associated access, drainage, and utility facilities, including a detention basin off Grayson Road. Project entitlement required securing authorizations in the form of a lake and streambed alteration agreement. Also contributed to a biological resources analysis and a mitigation and monitoring plan.
