Construction PermittingMost stream, wetland, and lake ecosystem projects are regulated by local, state and/or federal governmental agencies. Because of the variations, requirements are extensive and occasionally conflicting. The regulations must be met before an individual agency approves a project though. Obtaining permits can be a time-consuming process and often requires extensive knowledge of governmental rules, regulations, guidelines, and statutes.
Urbani Fisheries is unique in that we have the experience and knowledge to manage all phases of the permitting process, from survey and design, construction, and post mitigation and monitoring. We assist with preparation of permit applications at the local, state and government level. This allows us to make an all inclusive plan that complies with all agency requirements, while assuring efficient progress throughout construction and the best possible final product. Agency meetings and boards are another major part of recurring maintenance. We attend for you to take part in the negotiation of reasonable permit conditions and to maintain an appearance before agency boards. We handle the process for an aquatic enhancement project for you from beginning to end. |

Beaver Dam AnalogsBeaver Dam Analogs (BDA's) are created to mimic the structure and function of a natural beaver dam. While these creatures can be a nuisance at times, they are vital to specific aquatic ecosystems. They charge the water table, create deep water habitat, and diversify habitats for a wide range of species. By utilizing the same materials beavers would, we strategically locate these structures to blend seamlessly into the area. This way we set the stage for nature to be successful, and in most cases, beavers will continue building where we left off.
