Ecological assessment and wetland delineation supported a culvert improvement project along 3.8 miles of Gayle’s Trails. Work included wetlands and WOTUS review, listed species considerations, and permitting support leading to USACE NWP 3 and FDEP ERP General Permit approvals.

LandQuest assessed an existing bridge over Goats Creek Canal near the Intracoastal Waterway. Field checks showed good to excellent water quality. Manatee habitat and listed species drive multi agency permitting needs.

High resolution surface groundwater modeling evaluated ditch blocks and a low water crossing repair to improve mitigation bank performance. Results show Projects A and C strengthen wetland hydroperiod and function within bank boundaries with no offsite flooding.

Detailed wetland delineation and ecological assessment supported a proposed retail development on a 22+ acre undeveloped site in Panama City Beach, Florida. Work identified extensive wetlands, reviewed a 6.80 acre conservation easement, and evaluated listed species habitat. Permitting needs were confirmed and coordinated with USACE and FDEP ERP.

Ecological investigations were completed along a five mile stretch of the Little Wekiva Canal and Lake Lawne in north central Orlando, Florida. Work documented jurisdictional waters and freshwater ponds, mapped habitat types, and noted active bird use throughout the canal corridor and lake system.

Ongoing biological, ecological, and water quality assessments are being conducted across a five lake system in Panama City Beach, Florida (Lullwater, Star, Palm, Gulfview, and Seahorse). Work includes topographic and bathymetric surveys, fisheries and biological sampling, and multi station water quality monitoring to guide lake management improvements.

Long term ecological, biological, and water quality studies supported lake management planning for the Lullwater Lake Basin system from 2023 to 2026. Sampling at 14 locations documented shallow, mucky conditions and nuisance vegetation to inform permitting, dredging and harvesting logistics, staging needs, and potential spring flow improvements.

Ecological evaluations were completed for 28 lake systems in southeastern Orlando, Florida. Investigations documented habitats, wetlands, drainage features, vegetation, soils, and hydrologic conditions at each site. Findings were compiled into a detailed report for city parks and engineering staff to support planning and management decisions.

Environmental due diligence and compliance support were provided for new 7‑Eleven developments in Vero Beach and Sebastian, Florida. Pre construction investigations identified soil and groundwater contamination, leading to sampling, quarterly monitoring, and reporting coordination with Indian River County and FDEP. Construction phase work included SWPPP preparation and weekly stormwater inspections.

Stormwater and watershed planning support has been provided for multiple communities and jurisdictions. Work includes watershed assessments, multi year water quality monitoring, and biological surveys to guide pond and stormwater management decisions. Projects include the Kingsmill Pond Water Quality and Watershed Assessment in Williamsburg, Virginia and watershed management planning in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

Environmental testing support was provided during construction of a new 2,600 square foot Walgreens Pharmacy in Charlotte, North Carolina. Vapor intrusion testing was performed during installation of the Stego vapor barrier, using smoke and vapor methods to confirm system integrity and identify potential leaks.

A Wellhead Protection Area study supported a proposed Jiffy Lube facility in Pensacola, Florida. The assessment evaluated potential long term impacts to groundwater protection zones from site design and stormwater features. Findings were coordinated with Escambia County officials and FDEP to support review and permitting.

Storm event water quality monitoring was completed in the St. Johns River Basin near Palatka, Florida to evaluate nutrient loading across 16 sub watersheds. Automated and manual sampling captured first flush runoff data and key parameters including turbidity, DO, BOD, TSS, and nutrients. Results supported analysis of runoff impacts and nutrient patterns near biosolids application areas.

Environmental consulting supported development of the Beaufort Station Shopping Center in Beaufort, South Carolina. Services included a Section 404 wetland delineation with USACE confirmation, a survey of 2,000+ onsite trees, and preparation of Section 404/401 permit applications. Coastal Zone Management Act coordination was also completed with SCDHEC.

Environmental consulting supported development of Popeyes restaurant sites in Kendall, Florida across three undeveloped lots. Services included wetland delineation and agency confirmation, protected tree surveys, and Phase I ESAs. Permitting support addressed prior wetland impacts, with mitigation planning and oversight of wetland restoration activities.
