Who is a qualified Wetland professional?

Wetland consulting services provide you the evaluation of natural resources, including the lakes, streams, wetlands, shorelines, fish habitat, and wildlife, to study and analyze the effects they have on a proposed development.

A qualified wetland professional is a person who can give you an expert and accurate analysis in this regard. Here at wetland consulting services, there is a team of wildlife, stream, and wetland ecologists as qualified wetland professionals who have the knowledge and extensive experience to help you design your projects and plans in the best possible way. We aim to complete your project quickly and smoothly by guiding you to make the appropriate decisions for where you should plan to do the construction, what design is suitable, and how much you can cover in an environment-friendly and lawful manner.

A Wetland professional at our company can provide expert advice in the following areas.

  • Wetland and stream delineation
  • Environmental planning
  • Environmental permitting
  • Mitigation planning and design
  • Land use and regulatory guidance

Professional advice on wetland and stream delineations

Our wetland professionals are preferred consultants in the king and Snohomish county. Before any construction projects or business activities in the wetland area, it is crucial to have information about the wetland and stream delineation to know precisely the boundary of the water body near your site. This gives you the idea of where you are permitted to do any constructions and were not. This information is vital for security purposes and completing your projects. If you have any project shortly, you can get information about the wetland or stream delineations boundary approved by the local agencies with regulatory authorities. This enables you to plan all your constructions and managements accordingly instead of having to change designed projects. Our professionals can guide and give you the correct information regarding the water boundaries. Our professional can also provide you with the accurate stream and shoreline Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM).

 

Professional advice on wildlife habitat buffers

Our professional wetland scientists can guide you about the areas designated as wildlife buffers. These areas contain wildlife, including falcons, peregrine, eagles, ospreys, great blue herons, etc. These areas have a buffer zone of variable width depending upon the presence of animals in the area. There are construction methods and timing constraints within these areas, and you have to follow the rules applicable at the given site to avoid any trouble of incompliance with the laws.

Professional advice on critical area designation

Our professional can also provide you with a helpful piece of advice on critical areas guiding you where and how you can start or continue your constructions. We can help you in cases where there is the possibility of provision, or you can get any flexibility like buffer reduction beyond the standard allowances. In case you face any critical areas violations, our wetland professionals have the experience of getting you through the process. We will represent you as your ecological consultant in the violation resolution process. You can work on the future development of your property.

Professional advice on mitigation planning and design

In some areas, there is a need to remove invasive plant species, plant native species, and the placement of habitat features like snags, down logs, bird boxes, etc. The mitigation process creates wetlands to offset the effect on other systems. When the wetlands impacts are invasive and unavoidable, the mitigation process becomes inevitable. Our wetland professional can provide you with a full range of mitigation process options that recommend an approved mitigation bank or custom-designed and solution-oriented plans to achieve the project targets. The mitigation banks are approved sites where a third party handles the wetland monitoring and creation. This makes the process fast and easy. We are familiar with all the mitigation banks and can refer to the most appropriate and cost-effective option according to your needs. If you prefer a custom-designed wetland, our experienced and skilled professionals are there o help you in wetland design, monitoring, and creation. Our expert will discuss with you and provide you advice according to your needs and guide you to move forward with your project in the best way. You can contact us via email or phone, and we are available to help you at any time.

Professional advice on environmental planning services

A wetland professional with experience in environmental services can give you the ultimate guidance of environmental consulting in planning your projects in a safe way for you and the environment. Our input can add value to your project through training and capacity building, making significant improvements by better-designed systems. The critical points that we focus on are our reviews on environmental factors, environment management plans, training and capacity building, soil and water management, project delivery, compliance to the laws applicable to the place, environmental impact statements, etc.

Many products and by-products of your project processing and completion can pose a threat to the environment. This can cause more significant trouble for you in the future, so it is better to design your project so that it does not cause you any future problems. Suppose the hazardous waste of your projects is a source of serious harm to the place’s water, land, or air. In that case, you will have to make necessary modifications in your operations to minimize the harmful effects of your activities. Our professional can inform you about the local statutory and regulatory information you must follow, allowing you to analyze how you can design your operations for maximum production with no other complications.

Conclusion

A skilled and qualified Wetland professional will help manage your project in a way that complies with the rules and feasibility of the environment, preserves ecological sustainability of wildlife, maintain the cleanliness of waters and implement remediation projects. The wetland professionals gather a large amount of data and generate accurate reports through extensive scientific monitoring and analysis. Streamline your project to achieve your business goals most productively and efficiently by consulting a qualified wetland consultant.

Eastside Environmental is great to work with and I'm definitely looking to do business again in the future. Kellen is great to work with and his co-workers/assistances are very professional as well. Very honest and follows up on services performed. As a homeowner it can hard trying to decide which company to conduct business with in this type of field. As some won't return calls or perform subpar services. I didn't get that from Eastside, instead I received nothing but outstanding service from Eastside. And also no inflated prices after the services were performed. At this present day in time it seems challenging to find honest services and I feel that Eastside delivers highly in that area. Keep up the great work Eastside. Federal Way, WA . Anthony

I'm impressed by the quick turnaround of a critical areas delineation for a 5 acre plot. By far was the fastest part of the permitting process. The report was detailed and thorough. Kellen answered any questions I had along the way. Highly recommend.

Top notch experience from start to finish with Kellen and his team over at Eastside Environmental. I recently purchased a piece of land with the intent of building an Airbnb Container home; the land had a small portion of wetlands on site and after searching around for firms to perform a critical area study. After searching around online I found EE and saw that they had incredible reviews and decided to proceed. Kellen not only got me the final report within 3 weeks of initial contact but kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. I cannot wait to work with Kellen again on the next site! Cannot recommend enough.

Kellen and the team at Eastside Environmental Pros are far above the rest. In the overwhelming process of purchasing land there are many questions, especially in this area. The property we are purchasing particularly had some big question marks for us regarding wetlands and streams and we knew before making a final decision we would need professional help. We also knew that beyond the purchase we would still require professional help to properly prepare the land for building and landscaping. We called several places where we simply got the voicemail of “some guy” or other places were simply far too busy to give us the time of day. We called Kellen who answered right away and assured us that his team understood the time sensitive nature/ process of making an offer on land and the feasibility phase of the purchase. He informed us that they setup their scheduling in a way that enables them to prioritize reconnaissance studies just for this reason and got us onto the schedule right away. Not only was the customer service provided top notch from the get go but Kellen really listened to our questions and ideas and carefully addressed all of them in a timely manner. This team demonstrates true partnership and we feel confident in moving forward because we have found a reliable business that can help us a long the way. Professionalism is very important and based on the experience we had in looking for a company to work with, I can say with certainty that this business operates with excellence and professionalism which is critical when taking on such a large and potentially risky project. Thanks for “having our back” Eastside Environmental Pros!!

Hello Kellen, I wanted to share my gratitude for a job well done in helping me get started on the process to be able to meet Snohomish County’s requirements so that I can develop more of my property. I was overwhelmed by what they were asking for and you really took the pressure off of me in handling the critical area review and researching all of my setbacks and requirements with the county. Now I know what I need to do to move forward with my septic contractor and with the county. You were professional, responsive and accurate with your estimate of costs. I will be sure to recommend you and your company to my family, friends and church community. Thank you again- T. Andreica Snohomish, WA

Eastside Environmental Pros are exactly as the name suggests: professionals. Amazing work (and I mean amazing), up front about everything (costs, timelines, etc), and an absolute joy to work with. This is my first time needing such a service, but the quality of the work isn't lost on me. Plus, all of the contractors and other people I've needed to pass the work onto have made comments like "this is great, who did you get to do this? I'm using them next time I need an environmental study I'm using them" Also, not only is the work amazing, but customer service is clearly a priority. I can't recommend working with them more. Seriously look no further.

I am trying to think of the right words, or where to even start in this review, as my partner and I were absolutely blown away by how amazing Eastside Environmental Pros were in completing our required Wetland Study for our new home build. Previously, my partner and I purchased a lot in Seattle to build a single family home on, and after submitting for permits, we received an alert from KC that there was a stream near our home and that a Critical Areas Report needed to be completed in order to move forward with our permits. After searching all over in Seattle for an available Wetland surveyor, we contacted over 11 different ones, only 5 returned my calls, and the 4 out of those 5 said they wouldn't have our survey completed until 4 - 6 weeks, which we could not wait any longer. But, thank goodness Kellen from Eastside Environmental connected with me and presented a great offer, and said he would have it done within 10 working days, which was way better than everyone else I spoke too. After agreeing to go with Kellen, we were absolutely blown away as he actually completed our Wetland Study earlier than expected, and kept us updated every step of the way. I usually don't write a lot of reviews, but really felt the need to showcase our amazing experience with Kellen from Eastside Environmental Pros, Inc. As he was truly a pleasure to work with, and provided one of the best customer experiences we have had throughout our construction process.
