WithersRavenel is pleased to congratulate Gary Kreiser, LSS, on his promotion to Director of NEPA Services for our Environmental team.
In this role, Gary will lead and continue to strengthen WithersRavenel’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) services, a critical component of delivering successful infrastructure and development projects that involve federal funding, approvals, or permits. His leadership will help ensure projects move forward efficiently while meeting regulatory requirements and protecting environmental and community resources.
Gary specializes in coordinating with local, state, and federal regulatory agencies to support environmental permitting and ensure consistency with current regulations. He is responsible for overseeing and completing NEPA and SEPA documentation, as well as Section 106 review, for a wide range of public and private development projects. His experience includes environmental assessments for due diligence, wetland delineations, riparian buffer determinations, endangered species surveys, riparian buffer coordination and permitting, and Section 401/404 environmental permitting.
As Director of NEPA Services, Gary’s expertise will play an increasingly important role as communities and agencies navigate complex regulatory processes tied to transportation, utility, environmental restoration, and other infrastructure projects. A strong NEPA process helps identify environmental impacts early, supports informed decision-making, and reduces risk, ultimately saving time and resources while promoting responsible development.
Gary is a licensed soil scientist with extensive experience in soil evaluation for a variety of land uses. He also holds certification in Surface Water Identification from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, further strengthening WithersRavenel’s ability to deliver comprehensive environmental solutions.
