Regulatory Permitting
Regulatory permitting can be a challenge to clients on many
levels and often provides a stumbling block to projects if not
considered early in the project development process. Researching
and identifying federal, state and local regulatory permit
requirements is essential for successful implementation of
projects. Making the wrong assumptions with respect to permitting
requirements often results in regulatory disputes and schedule
setbacks.
JMT's team of environmental scientists and specialists has
numerous years of regulatory permitting experience at the local,
state and federal levels. We help our clients develop strategies
that ensure compliance with regulatory permitting requirements
while meeting or exceeding project goals with respect to schedule
and budget. These services are especially important for
design-build projects, which are known to have multiple critical
paths and, thus, conflicting priorities with respect to regulatory
permitting. We can provide cradle-to-grave services for all
aspects of regulatory permitting, including field delineation and
data collection, planning, regulatory scoping, design, permitting,
and construction. We actively seek and recommend innovative
avoidance and minimization methods to reduce project impacts,
expedite the permitting process, maintain overall schedule, and
reduce costs. JMT's permitting experience includes:
- Section 404 - Wetlands & Waterways, Tidal &
Non-tidal
