Civil: Site Development

The process of developing land requires strategic coordination of many regulatory and non-regulatory groups’ interests, regardless of whether the development is commercial, industrial, or residential. During this process, issues such as suitability for the intended use, integration with existing site features, and impact on the environment need to be considered. It is important to determine the most efficient sequence of obtaining existing site information for the intended use. Potential State regulations that may affect a given project include the State Stormwater Permit and DEP Site Location Permit. State and Federal regulations may require Natural Resource Protection Act (NRPA) Permits.

During the land development process, it is also necessary to determine whether wetlands will be disturbed. We provide Wetlands Mapping and Delineation, Wetlands Impact Assessment, and Wetlands Mitigation services. When wetlands are involved, we take pride in meeting project goals while striving to protect those resources. Our services are consistent with State and Federal requirements, and our employees are among the few in Maine who have successfully completed training courses provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
