Wetlands
are areas with unique ecological, water quality, stream flow and flood control
values. These areas
are subject to regulation by federal, state, regional, and local
agencies.
The staff
at AMY S.
GREENE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSULTANTS, INC.
(ASGECI)
is trained in the
wetland
delineation methodologies utilized
by the New
Jersey
Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP),
the New Jersey Pinelands Commission,
the New York
Department of Environmental
Conservation and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACOE).
We
perform preliminary
wetland investigations and detailed field
delineations for both tidal and
freshwater wetland areas. From
these studies, we prepare
wetland delineation reports which are acceptable to
regulatory agencies
for the
purpose
of verifying the wetland delineation boundaries.

In
order to offset impacts on wetlands caused by developments (primarily filling
activities),
wetland mitigation
plans are often required.
ASGECI designs
plans suitable for many
geographic areas and wetland community types.
We also provide
services for actual
planting and monitoring of the plan.
Our
staff has expertise in the complementary
disciplines of botany, wildlife
management, soil science, hydrology, and horticulture
required
for design and
implementation
of successful wetland construction
projects.

Statewide General Permits (SGP), Individual Permits (IP), Water
Quality
Certifications (WQC) and Transition Area Waivers (TAW).
Other New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) permits
have included Waterfront
Development (WD), CAFRA, tidal and wetlands stream encroachment (SE)
permits.
For
projects which are subject to Federal regulations and jurisdiction we have
obtained
approvals of wetland delineations and authorizations for fill
activities from the New York
and Philadelphia Districts of the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACOE). Approvals for
wetland delineations and wetland mitigation plans have also been obtained from
the US
Fish and Wildlife Service
and the US Environmental
Protection Agency.
