Biological Resources Services
BonTerra Consulting’s Wildlife Biologists and Botanists have the technical background, experience, and necessary permits to conduct special status species surveys and to ensure compliance with resource agency permits; our staff members are also qualified preparers of biological assessments, constraints analyses, and applicable portions of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents. We proactively work with clients to minimize or avoid biological impacts whenever feasible and to design mitigation programs that meet regulatory requirements and project objectives. Our staff is familiar with State special status species laws and requirements as well as the requirements of the region's Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plans (MSHCPs) and Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs).
