Bighorn Consulting - Fresno, CA. - Wetlands Delineations/Permitting

Bighorn Consulting's wetland certified biologists provide accurate wetlands delineation results. A thorough evaluation of soils, vegetation, and hydrologic features will be evaluated based upon federal and state regulations. Bighorn Consulting will identify potential wetlands, evaluate a resource, perform accurate wetlands delineations, identify required permits for altering resources, and complete the permitting process.

Current Global Positioning Systems and Geographical Information Systems technology will be applied to produce highly accurate and detailed delineations. Once resources are identified, Bighorn Consulting will assist in developing alternatives, identifying avoidance areas, and suggesting compensatory methods to offset impacts and streamline the overall process. The goal of the Bighorn Consulting wetland program is to assist clients in streamlining the process for achieving permits and a development ready site.

In assisting our clients Bighorn Consulting provides a range of services including:

wetland surveys and delineations
wetland quality and function evaluations
permit acquisition
mitigation planning and design
implementation of restoration and mitigation plans
post-implementation monitoring
wetland-dependant flora and fauna surveys

Bighorn Consulting brings proven experience in permitting programs. Bighorn Consulting will provide a phased approach of preliminarily assessing potential project sites to determine if wetlands are likely to be present and to estimate the percentage of wetlands on the site followed by pre-application consultation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and other interested federal and state agencies to discuss permit requirements and identify potential problem areas. Based upon the information obtained through this approach, a regulatory strategy is developed and the permit application is prepared and submitted to the agency for formal project review and decision. Where a nationwide permit (small impacts to wetlands) is appropriate, the level of regulatory review may be reduced significantly or even eliminated with the use of appropriate support documentation.

Bighorn Consulting specializes in wetland evaluation techniques developed by state and federal agencies to specifically streamline the permitting process. Potential wetlands undergo analysis for wetland soils, hydrology, and vegetation in accordance with state and federal regulatory methods.
