Considering the Environmental Impact of Development
Selecting the appropriate level of documentation based on the environmental impact and the complexity of the project is critical to success, and WithersRavenel has the expertise to make this determination. From there, our staff guide clients through selecting and evaluating alternatives, including the environmental effects and mitigation requirements, and obtaining and addressed feedback from the public, stakeholders, and regulatory agencies.
Our clients receive peace of mind that NEPA requirements have been met on their roadway, intersection, sidewalk, greenway, and multi-use trail projects. Examples of our offerings include:
- Categorical Exclusion. Some projects receiving federal funding will not have a measurable environmental impact. WithersRavenel can help clients quickly navigate the categorical exclusion process to keep development on track.
- Environmental Assessment. WithersRavenel’s multidisciplinary team of professionals will analyze a range of factors from wetlands to traffic to pollution and submit a draft assessment. We will continue to work with you should compliance or modification be required.
- Corridor Analysis. A full analysis of the transportation corridor affected by a proposed project can yield valuable information to inform not only traffic projections but also reveal environmental data pertinent to the NEPA process.
We have professionals who specialize in helping communities navigate the ins and outs of NEPA documentation.
