Project planning and development often require that environmental and ecological issues be addressed, evaluated and resolved. The staff of Global specialize in performing Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements in compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). The merger of the NEPA and 404 wetland-permitting processes have enhanced the need for an experienced and efficient consultant. Coordination with representatives from Federal, State, and local agencies/groups has become the key to acquiring environmental concurrence and/or clearance.

Global provides an experienced project team. Global's project team is composed of experienced professional staff members who not only excel technically in their field but also are adept at coordinating with public agencies and private citizens groups. Global maintains a staff capable of completing all facets of NEPA compliance studies. In addition to our biological and environmental services staff, Global employs engineers, noise and air quality specialists, planners, and OSHA trained hazardous materials management personnel. The diverse and experienced staff, central location, and unparalleled commitment to the client make Global an excellent choice for all your environmental consulting needs.
