| Balancing compliance
issues, public perceptions and the need to accomplish project objectives
in a cost-effective, timely manner can be a complex task. An engineer
must be prepared to assist his or her clients through the maze of environmental
assessments and impact statements, mitigation plans, endangered species,
and permitting issues, all the while keeping the client's economic realities
in mind. EnTech professionals apply their experience in the integration
of our client's technical needs with environmental regulatory requirements,
all the while fostering good public and agency relationships in order to
assist our clients in reaching their goals for success.
EnTech can provide a full array of services, such as wetland delineations, functional value assessment, impact assessment, permit preparation (Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service and State of Wyoming), Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) guidelines compliance, and mitigation planning. In addition, EnTech personnel are experienced in the preparation of watershed master plans, environmental assessments and impact statements, especially in the areas of reclamation and wetlands. State of Wyoming, Department of Environmental Quality - Water Quality Division (DEQ-WQD) standards for land development now require assurance from the developer that proposed water and wastewater systems can indeed provide for long-term service to future property owners. EnTech can perform the necessary assessments to best meet the client's needs, while satisfying DEQ-WQD and other affected agencies' concerns about long-term service capability. Additional environmental services offered by EnTech include:
|
| Three Horses Watershed Master Plan Level I Study for the Wyoming Water Development Commission, Northeast Wyoming. This project entailed development of watershed master plans for three tributaries of the Powder River Basin in northeast Wyoming being affected by coal bed methane development. The principal emphasis of this study centered around water discharges from coal bed methane activity and methods to best address the quantity and quality of this water. |

 |
Prairie Dog Creek Watershed Master Plan Level I Study for the Wyoming Water Development Commission, Sheridan County, Wyoming. EnTech was responsible for developing a watershed master plan and path forward for the many diverse users within this drainage basin located south, east and north of Sheridan. Particular emphasis was placed upon developing alternatives to rehabilitate transbasin tunnels in the Story area that have historically transported water from the Piney Creek drainage into the Prairie Dog Creek drainage. These historical practices have resulted in considerable erosion of lands with related loss of property and livestock. |
