The timeline of a project can be significantly affected when wetlands are identified on a project site. However, by developing a thorough understanding of the project site in the initial stages of a project, the presence of wetlands does not have to sidetrack or derail a development plan and the project can stay on schedule.

Envirologic utilizes a team of experienced biologists and other scientists to plan and implement projects that are protective of the environment while avoiding unexpected costs and delays due to natural resource regulations and permitting. With over 30 years of experience in Michigan and the surrounding region, our team understands the uncertainties clients face when unexpected

As COVID-related restrictions continue to ease this summer and fall, Envirologic is looking forward to once again attending in-person conferences. Envirologic will be reviving our booth at both conferences, along with a longstanding Envirologic booth staple — our stress-reliever frogs. For anyone who has previously visited our booth, you’ve probably been given one of these frogs.

Wetlands play an integral role in the surrounding region’s ecology; they provide habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife (including many threatened and endangered species), protect and improve water quality, and offer flood protection and erosion control. Federal and state governments have established specific regulations to limit the loss of wetlands throughout the country.

When do I need to worry about threatened and endangered species on a project site? The short answer is almost anytime that construction or development activities or in-stream/watershed activities may impact species listed in the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). Section 9 of the ESA states that it is unlawful to “take” an endangered species;
