Wetlands are socially and economically recognized as playing an important role in our ecological system. To combat declining wetlands acreage due to changing land use priorities, federal, state and local governments have imposed permitting and mitigation regulations to preserve or restore wetlands. Clementi Environmental Consulting has successfully designed and created thousands of acres of wetland compensation projects for primary and secondary impacts. All of us at Clementi Environmental recognize that land is developed for a profitable venture, so rely on us to help you accomplish this goal. Our staff offers complete wetlands-related services including permit-compliant design, implementation and on-going management: Wetland Creation & Mitigation | Restoration | On-Site Maintenance Wetland Creation / Wetland Mitigation Solutions If the property you own includes areas classified as wetlands, those areas are subject to federal and state laws and permits.

However, wetland mitigation also includes the restoration or preservation of wetlands that have been lost or impacted by previous land uses. On-site mitigation is often difficult, so we will find the best solution for your situation. This could include mitigation banks or other off-site opportunities,…

Our approach is to be a team player in conducting the necessary studies and producing articulate, informative reports that contribute to helping the client make a “go-no go” decision on the property purchase. Due Diligence In the world of real estate, it is common and customary to do an evaluation of a piece of property before one purchases it, known as due diligence. When considering the purchase of vacant land, especially for development, the due diligence may require the skills of an engineer, planner, appraiser and an environmental consultant like Clementi. This includes investigating not only the current state of the land, but more importantly, the highest and best use of the land, and how its physical condition enhances or might restrict achieving that highest and best use. Environmental Site Assessment An environmental assessment is used to depict the location, size, etc. of natural features such as wetlands, ponds, lakes, unique upland habitat, specially designated lands nearby and the location…

Clementi Environmental has been successfully performing wildlife surveys in a variety of ecosystems for years to assist engineers, planners, developers and builders to comply with wildlife agencies regulations. In addition, we use GIS to map results and investigate the known occurrences of listed wildlife species. For added efficiencies, wildlife surveys can be performed in conjunction with our environmental assessments or wetlands delineations, as well as a stand-alone project. Federal and State Threatened and Endangered Species Permitting There are two ways an animal is listed as imperiled: by the state agency and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Some animals are listed by one or both. As a result, we might have to permit the relocation or take of a species with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service but not the state, and vice versa. Clementi Environmental can help coordinate surveys so that one survey can efficiently and effectively meet the requirements of several agencies.
