Wetlands Permitting, Mitigation Planning, Design and Monitoring.

Through the environmental permitting process, mitigation for wetlands impacts is sometimes required. This mitigation may be in the form of mitigation bank credit purchase, wetlands preservation and/or wetlands creation.

BCS is experienced in mitigation design obtaining environmental permits and monitoring for compliance with agency permits.

Wildlife Species Surveys

Wildlife surveys are often required during project planning and permitting.

The extensive knowledge and experience of Biological Consulting Services staff biologists enables them to efficiently and accurately determine the presence or absence of Florida’s federally-listed species in a project area, quantify population and distribution, assess habitat values, prepare impact mitigation, and secure required permits.
