At Sundew Ecology, we have extensive experience in ecological and environmental surveys of all types with the most common client needs below.
Services
Permitting
We offer permitting services including: federal government USACE (Clean Water Act Section 404, Section 10, Section 408), state Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources (LDENR) joint Coastal Use Permits, and local parish permits.
Wetland Delineation
We offer wetland delineation and consulting to assist with development, mitigation, and conservation. These delineations can be used to determine if a permit is necessary for your project or to acquire jurisdictional determinations from the USACE to get a concurrence of wetlands on your property. We have experience in difficult wetland situations such as silviculture pine plantations, flood plains, pimple mounds, and historic land use changes.
Threatened and Endangered Species Surveys
We offer consulting services on threatened and endangered species to ensure your project complies with federal and state rules. We offer surveys for species such as Eastern Black Rail, Red-cockaded Woodpecker, Gopher Tortoise, Piping Plover, Red Knot, and other federal and state species.
Permit Compliance
We offer consulting services to ensure your project is complying with applicable regulations through development of a permit matrix or through on-site visits by an environmental inspector.
Landscape Design and Planting Plans
We offer landscape design and planting services to meet permit requirements, re vegetation targets, or local ordinances about vegetative buffers.
Our staff is licensed to purchase from certified Louisiana nurseries at wholesale to meet project needs.
Vegetation Surveys and Monitoring
We offer vegetation surveys and monitoring to identify the species, amount, and coverage of plant species to meet regulatory re vegetation targets or to document the presence of invasive species.
