Ecological Consulting Services

Assessing the natural resources and ecological landscape of your project site is no small task. Sorting through the complex maze of environmental policies, guidelines, and regulations can be daunting and time-consuming. Geo-Hydro's ecology staff can lead you through the maze as we provide support and guidance every step of the way.

All ecology staff members are trained in performing wetland delineations per the 1987 Corps of Engineers Delineation Manual and applicable regional supplements. In addition, all ecology staff members are trained in performing stream delineations and assessing stream conditions per the North Carolina Division of Water Quality’s (NC DWQ) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, Version 4.11 (2010).
