When undertaking a development project, it is critical to assess the social, economic, and environmental impacts of your project as required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Development must be undertaken with a systematic approach that seeks to first avoid adverse impacts. When it is not feasible to avoid impacts, the next step is to minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible with the goal of staying below thresholds that require mitigation. When, despite minimization efforts, mitigation is required, it is necessary to work closely with the regulatory agencies to develop prudent measures that mitigate the resulting impacts. Clear documentation of this approach is critical to your project progressing smoothly through these regulatory processes. With decades of experience conducting federal and state environmental reviews pursuant to SEQRA and NEPA, our team of planners and environmental scientists have completed hundreds of environmental assessments and environmental impact statements, and are ready to put our expertise to work for you. We understand the procedural and substantive compliance intricacies of effective impact analysis, and every project we encounter is objectively assessed, with innovative approaches and permitting strategies to meet your goals. Our projects have ranged from public sector investments in K-12 educational institutions to private sector investments focused on commercial and mixed-use development. We specialize in the preparation of generic environmental impact statements for municipal planning studies such as comprehensive plans and zoning amendments and rewrites. Our multidisciplinary team includes experts who conduct specialized studies to support defensible impact reviews, from traffic assessments to build-out analyses, with the goal of gaining required government approvals and facilitating project construction. What Our Clients are Saying “The Fisher team recognized the project’s importance and significance early on while providing systematic guidance on the complexities of the procedural and substantive aspects of the State Environmental Quality Review Act process. Moreover, their balanced approach from both an economic and environmental perspective, combined with the depth and breadth of their team’s knowledge and expertise of critical environmental and engineering, was greatly appreciated.” – Robert J.
