Ecological Risk / Impact Assessment

CR's ecological risk and environmental impact assessment experience includes nearly 20 years of sole- source project design and implementation.

We frequently conduct data acquisition, analysis and reporting for risk / impact assessment projects managed by larger environmental consulting firms.

Our terrestrial and strong wetland /aquatic sampling and mapping capabilities and specialized equipment pool have supported our industrial and regulatory client's projects across the Northeast.

Staff expertise includes macroinvertebrate bioassessment, botany, wildlife habitat characterizations and modeling of food-web transfer of bioaccumulative contaminants.

Experience includes projects mandated by Federal (e.g., CERCLA, RCRA) and State legislation.
