Environmental Services

The importance of the environment and a keen awareness of cause and effect and action/reaction drives today's environmentalists. Recognizing that we must all be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us, the Environmental Division staff at Melvin Engineering demonstrates creativity, resourcefulness, and responsibility in approaching each project. From wetlands determinations and delineations to complex permitting and listed species mitigation, the future of today's actions will have a direct impact on our environment for many years.

Our environmental services include the following:

• Ecological reports highlighting listed species, vegetation, and wetlands determination
• Wetland delineations and permitting
• Phase I ESA reports to ASTM standards
• Compliance monitoring for federal, state, and local permitted facilities with required report submittals and photographs
• Gopher tortoise surveys and relocation permitting
• Natural habitat pond and wetland marsh design
• Groundwater, Surface Water, and Soil Sampling
• Soil Sampling
• Natural resource cost appraisals for real estate "take" or insurance claims
• Selection, analysis, and negotiations for wetland and habitat mitigation "banks" with state and federal agencies
