Prepare a notification according to agency standards to obtain a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement or Clean Water Act Nationwide Permit
Discuss with a project manager how a proposed project activity may affect a sensitive species or wetlands, providing an objective analysis of potential impacts and identifying ways the impacts could be avoided or minimized
Conduct a survey for nesting birds on a project site and establish buffers to protect the active nest during construction
Work within an agreed timeframe and budget to identify biological constraints to a project
Contribute to project success by providing excellent service and high-quality technical information to clients
