    Siting & Permitting

    We use our industry knowledge and “on the ground” approach to proactively identify and obtain necessary permits from federal, state, and local authorities.

    Overview

    Project development is flourishing across the country. Clients need partners who can guide them through the process, start to finish. Our team helps you navigate the evolving regulatory landscape during all phases of siting and energy permitting for industrial and municipal facilities. From obtaining permits to mastering the application and approval process, our industry relationships give our clients an edge.

    We draft environmental assessments, visual and environmental impact statements, and scoping and other documents for developers and project sponsors, and counsel on compliance and strategy. We also represent clients in public and administrative proceedings, ensuring they stay in step with the various environmental regulations governing air, water, solid and hazardous waste, wetlands, and drinking water.

    Regardless of the project, our team is there every step of the way.
