Natural Resource Inventories
ERC provides a complete range of natural resource inventories for a subject project. Today many
natural resources that are not regulated under the Clean Water Act or Endangered Species Act may be regulated by local governments. Local
regulations often require documentation of natural features prior to landuse changes or infrastructure expansion. Through field surveys and
research, ERC assists clients with pre-disturbance natural resource inventories. By identifying existing conditions during the early
phases of project planning ERC can provide clients with recommendations for avoidance and minimize of potential environmental impacts,
develop conservation values and management guidelines and identify site development restrictions.
Natural Resource Inventories could include:
- Tree Surveys and Appraisals
- Identification of Significant Natural Vegetation Communities
- Wildlife Use/Movement Corridors Studies
- Buffer Zone Identification
- Noxious Weed Surveys
- Avian/Nesting Surveys (Migratory Bird Treaty Act)
