EMC Planning Group biologists assist public and private sector clients in assessing biological resources and complying with resource agency regulations and permits on both large and small projects. Our reputation for success is founded on regional 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 pro-active philosophy into our client support services, we are able to provide project proponents with technically sound, appropriately detailed documents. By analyzing potential constraints early in the scoping process, EMC Planning Group has been able to help clients avoid costly delays to project schedules and earn early regulatory agency permitting approval.

EMC Planning Group biologists offer clients adaptive, innovative solutions to environmental compliance challenges. We provide comprehensive and scientifically defensible project impact analyses and biological resources documentation to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.
