Environmental Services
As land use and development becomes ever more regulated by Federal, State, and Local authorities, it is important that large commercial developers and single lot owners alike are aware of the full scope of environmental regulations that may affect their properties. Many projects are often delayed or ultimately abandoned because environmental regulations and issues were not addressed during the initial project planning.
Lapham Associates understands how and what regulatory agencies will need to be involved in your project. Through continual retraining and research, our staff maintains a thorough knowledge of laws, rules, regulations and permitting procedures that will help to ensure successful, timely and superior projects.
Lapham Associates will be of service from the conception to the completion of your project. Expeditious scheduling of Threatened and Endangered Species Searches, Wetland Determinations and Delineations, as well as Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and permitting can get a project underway without undue delays. Our environmental team guides the project design to accomplish the intended purpose of the development on a cost-effective basis while maintaining natural resource value and meeting regulatory requirements. This allows the developer and the ultimate end user the best possible combination of economics, environment and community.
