EMC Planning Group biologists assist public agencies and private sector clients in assessing protected biological resources and complying with resource agency regulations for projects of varying scale. Our reputation for success is founded on expertise in surveying for general biological resources and targeted special-status species. We coordinate with clients during the initial stages of project planning to help identify controversial issues, and propose achievable, effective impact avoidance and minimization strategies to save time, reduce costs, and expedite project approvals. By incorporating this proactive approach into our client support services, we are able to provide project stakeholders and decision-makers with comprehensive and technically sound project analysis and biological resources  documentation that complies with local, state, and federal regulations.
