Environmental Analysis

Navigating the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is an important part of project development in California. We offer a broad expertise in environmental analysis and can guide your project through all aspects of CEQA and NEPA compliance and mitigation plans. Working across multiple technical disciplines, our environmental planners and specialists combine their knowledge of science and regulation with creative problem-solving skills to provide solutions that are innovative, practical, and efficient. This balanced approach enables LSA to provide thorough, credible, and objective analysis that meets all agency requirements without compromising your project objectives. We offer highly efficient and responsive support to both public and private sector clients.
