Permitting and Regulatory Support for Navigational and Remedial Dredging Projects

Almost universally, regulatory requirements and control over contaminated sediments is based on approaches to controlling partially related issues such as industrial discharges and impairment of water quality in waterways. This approach has led to inconsistent and, in some cases, inappropriate regulatory requirements. Our vast environmental experience allows us to identify the applicable permits and environmental assessment necessary to undertake navigation and remedial dredging projects, and then develop supporting documentation for permit applications and regulatory approvals. Often, negotiating a mutually agreed-upon approach to environmental protection and monitoring with regulators is necessary.
