Williamsburg Environmental Group, Inc. (WEG) has a multi-disciplined staff specializing in the areas of environmental science, ecology, biology, botany, forest resources, and soil science, to name a few. Our field staff is highly trained in the areas of wetland delineation, assessment, classification, boundary confirmation, and mapping. In addition, WEG ecologists support wetland mitigation tasks in the areas of assessment and feasibility.
Our field ecologists conduct qualified threatened and endangered species surveys, utilizing staff members currently approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. WEG’s ecologists are also skilled in stream channel bioassessment, a key component of the stream restoration process. Additional services include environmental buffer characterization, forest stand delineation and community inventory, environmental impact assessment, environmental constraints analysis, and unique and sensitive habitat evaluation. Our ecology staff maintains an excellent rapport with local, state, and federal agencies, and actively participates in several professional associations and environmental education programs. Below are brief descriptions of some of the specific services WEG offers, followed by a complete list of our wetland capabilities:
Wetland Delineation |
Our staff ecologists are highly trained professionals, drawing from WEG’s diverse history – over a decade of wetland delineation projects in Virginia and throughout the mid-Atlantic states. Certified Professional Wetland Scientists (PWS) head the field staff at WEG and have developed the most efficient, cost-effective, and comprehensive field protocols possible to document wetland resources on a project. WEG’s ecologists are skilled at wetland resource mapping, offering accurate graphical illustration of field conditions from preliminary analysis to detailed wetland delineation. |
Habitat Evaluation |
WEG’s ecologists are trained in a host of specialized habitat assessment procedures applicable across a wide range of project needs. We have utilized several of these protocols to evaluate project impact, or simply to monitor current conditions at a site. Our staff has been trained in general procedures such as HEP, WET, EPA-RBP, and functional assessment methods such as HGM and EPW. Having a broad range of applicable procedures allows WEG to follow any habitat evaluation standards that might be imposed by a regulatory district. |
Threatened & Endangered Species |
Information on potential impacts to threatened and endangered species is crucial to a comprehensive environmental assessment of proposed project. If not identified early in the planning stages of development, the presence of such resources can cause construction delays or costly plan revisions. WEG ecologists are prepared to help perform any necessary surveys for protected species of plants and animals. |
