Novo Aquatic helps Our Clients determine how projects may impact fish and aquatic life listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by providing biological assessments and documentation used in regulatory permitting and analysis process.

 

Novo Aquatic also provides Our Clients assistance in project design and development in order to minimize or prevent impacts to endangered species from project conception through all project cycles. Our ESA consultation services include project team coordination in conjunction with various ESA agencies as well as final deliverables such as biological assessment documentation, helping to insure project timeliness.

 

Novo Aquatic helps Our Clients avoid mistakes made early during PERMITTING  that can significantly stall a project, costing Our Clients valuable time and money. During the federal permitting process, Our Clients often find that determining the likely project impacts on aquatic species and their habitats is a long drawn out process when going it alone. Novo Aquatic instead offers Our Clients the regulatory expertise, scientific diligence and knowledge of permitting expedience necessary to produce high quality biological assessments while helping Our Clients to keep project completion on track.
