For more than 40 years, strict adherence to guidelines under the National Environmental Policy Act requires all federal agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a broad scope of proposed actions and decisions as well as to consider any reasonable alternatives to those actions. Geosyntec's engineers and scientists offer clients decades of experience in the development of comprehensive environmental impact statements (EIS) for actions requiring federal authorization or that are otherwise subject to federal control. We also prepare EIS as required by regulations at the state and regional level around the country. Our practitioners across multiple disciplines lead the development of EIS for clients within the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to name just a few. Impact statements are submitted for public comment periods throughout the development process. In addition, we guide clients through the review and comment by officials with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency before a final EIS and record of decision can be infused into a program or action. As we develop an EIS, we ensure our detailed analysis provides a discussion of any significant environmental impacts affecting a project as well as the purpose of and need for proposed actions. We then review reasonable alternatives, including a No Action alternative, which would allow agency officials to avoid or minimize adverse impacts or enhance the quality of the human environment. These full disclosure documents detail the process through which a federal project was developed and demonstrates compliance with other applicable environmental laws and executive orders.

Geosyntec practitioners are leaders in the development and application of science-based methods and tools for wetland identification and delineation. By determining the existence, location boundaries, and physical size of a wetland area, we help clients establish whether water bodies within a project area meet criteria for regulation under specific local, state, and federal jurisdictions. In addition, we make recommendations as to the size or width of any buffers that may be needed to protect water quality or habitats. Our field investigations and surveys establish clearly marked wetland boundaries, comprehensive delineation maps with data collection points, and site-specific information such as soil survey results or species composition and dominance data. We also can assess whether created or replicated wetlands function effectively and then aid clients in the application of this information to future design plans. This can include an evaluation of pre-construction design criteria and monitoring protocols. Once a wetland delineation is complete, Geosyntec guides clients through the permitting application process as outlined in Section 401 or Section 404 of the Clean Water Act as well as the various state and regional laws governing water bodies throughout the United States.

Geosyntec offers extensive experience in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and the use of model output for the analysis of channel modifications and stream restoration projects. We frequently apply these models for long-term watershed and floodplain management. Our practitioners have decades of experience in the evaluation of hydromodification activities, such as channelization / channel modification projects and the construction of dams. We also examine the resulting stream bank and shoreline erosion impacts of hydromodification and how it might affect in-stream and streamside (or riparian) habitats for fish and wildlife. We develop and calibrate watershed hydrologic models and floodplain hydraulic models using new and existing data sources to examine both the volume reduction and control benefits of hydromodification projects. We also conduct stream restoration and open channel analyses to assist and design stream bank rehabilitation projects and to restore tidal flow in restricted salt marsh environments. Our geomorphic studies and sedimentation/scour analyses are used to understand issues of accelerated erosion or changes to sediment supply. We apply our expertise in open channel hydraulics to perform flooding analyses, including floodplain delineation, flow monitoring, and rating curve development. Geosyntec has developed excellent surface water modeling expertise including hydrodynamics, sediment transport, water quality, and fate and transport modeling. Geosyntec's expertise includes application of SWMM, HEC-HMS, HEC-1, HEC-2, HEC-RAS, RMA2/RMA4, EFDC, QUAL2k, River-FLO2D, CE-QUAL-W2, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and other models.

Whether it's due to customer, shareholder, or regulator-requirements, transitional workforce challenges, or some other reason, organizations are seeking to develop, implement, maintain, and improve upon their systems for environmental, safety and health, and sustainability management. Limited resources and management system expertise within the organizations can be a road block. Geosyntec's comprehensive understanding of our clients' operations paired with our expertise in management system development and implementation allow us to provide our clients with innovative and cost-effective solutions for identifying, prioritizing, and managing more efficiently the environmental, safety and health, and sustainability risks and opportunities associated with their operations. Our management system experts offer clients a broad array of services, including policy development support, system element gap analysis, document and training material development, performance monitoring data analysis, trending, and visualization, information management system design and optimization, system auditing, nonconformance correction planning including root cause analysis, and management review and third-party certification preparation. Our projects routinely involve organizations with multiple and varied facilities, multi-cultural stakeholders, and transient workforces. Through our work, Geosyntec's clients improve performance and achieve their operational goals. Geosyntec's management system implementation programs are tailored to meet the needs of each client resulting in a smooth integration and minimized operational disruption. Geosyntec's strategy for new management systems is to learn about existing processes and procedures and develop a simple manual that cross-references to other processes and programs within the organization. We then work with the organization to customize the system and procedures. A management system developed in partnership with Geosyntec is a good fit from the start and is flexible to evolve with the organization. For our clients with existing management systems, Geosyntec offers support with routine auditing and maintenance, system improvement, gap analysis with updated standards, developing and implementing corrective actions, and transitioning to new and/or revised standards. Our management system specialists include individuals with technical expertise across a broad range of disciplines who have studied and are training in management systems and who have worked in industry under management systems. We have experience with systems that conform to the ISO, OHSAS, RC, and EPA compliance-focused management system standards. The ISO 14001 standard for Environmental Management and the ISO 45001 standard for Occupational Safety and Health are widely used in manufacturing. Geosyntec is experienced in performing gap analyses of existing systems to determine what steps are needed to comply with these standards. We also perform internal audits, develop site-specific lists of legal requirements, develop standard operating procedures, and assist with corrective and preventative actions to improve management systems.
