Environmental Planning & Permitting
Great Ecology guides projects through all stages from planning to post-construction monitoring. Our experts can identify potential constraints and opportunities early in the planning process and develop improved permitting strategies and mitigation approaches that lead to successful project implementation.
We understand the complexities of our natural systems and the specific regulations of local, state, and federal agencies.
Permitting & Compliance
Key Services:
• CEQA & NEPA
• EIR, EIS, & Major Regulatory Documentation
• Mitigation Plans & Feasibility Studies
• Other Federal, State, & Local Permits
• Biotic & Abiotic Assessments
• Species & Habitat Surveys
• Natural Resource Inventories
• Water Quality Assessments

Great Ecology conducts technical studies that are key in environmental planning and permitting processes. We identify project opportunities and develop ecological solutions for regulatory considerations and constraints.
Additionally, we use our decades of experience and strong connection with regulators to guide clients through all regulatory compliance processes related to the management of ecologically sensitive sites.
Land & Coastal Use Planning
Key Services:
• Master Planning
• Mitigation Banking
