Environmental Engineering Services
RDA is an expert in providing NEPA documents and state environmental impact reviews, wetland permitting, stream and wetland mitigation and restoration planning, and the coordination with cultural and natural resources agencies needed to support these processes. We regularly use risk communication techniques to support public participation and outreach, and are dedicated to caring for our clients. With many of our designers LEED-certified, and all designers fully knowledgeable in local, state, and federal environmental regulatory requirements, we assist our clients to plan and develop environmentally sound and sustainable projects.
