AK Environmental, LLC site design by INNOVATIVE MARKETING CONCEPTS |
In
accordance with the Clean Water Act, any construction involving
ground disturbance requires the evaluation of the site for wetlands
and waterbodies (streams, drainage swales, ponds, etc.).
Habitat
assessments may be required prior to construction of a project
to determine the potential for impact to threatened or endangered
species of plants or animals or their potential habitat. 
Large
development projects often encounter a variety of environmental
issues that require the services of a dedicated environmental
professional to manage the schedule, budget, and technical reports
associated with the project. AK has experience managing all environmental
aspects of large, complex projects.
AK
can prepare the environmental information necessary to support
applications for a variety of permits including NPDES (construction
stormwater and industrial wastewater discharge) permits, Section
401 and 404 permits, erosion and sediment control plan approvals,
coastal area development permits, and stream encroachment permits.
During
construction of large projects it may be required by either the
state or the Federal government that an environmental inspector
should oversee construction.
The inspector supervises construction activities assuring these
activities are in compliance with applicable environmental regulations. 
Due
to the complexity of the state and federal regulations, environmental
training is often provided to construction supervisors and equipment
operators prior to commencement of construction. This training
explains all the applicable regulations in common terms, points
out any specific restrictions of certain areas, and insures that
the laborers are familiar with the best management practices
to be used during construction. 
When
endangered, threatened, or rare species habitats are identified
in a project area, the state or federal agency may request a
field survey for the species of concern. AK can perform or
manage these endangered species surveys for our clients. Surveys
either performed or managed by our company include: Indiana bat,
bog turtle, wood turtle, timber rattlesnake, barred owl, red
shouldered hawk, upland sandpiper, freshwater mussels and fishes,
small whorled pogonia, Eggert’s sunflower, Kneickson’s
beaked rush, lady slipper species, and stiff cowbane.
