Environmental Impact Assessment
BonTerra Consulting provides environmental impact assessment services.
These services can range from the processing of documentation pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to identifying potential environmental
constraints as part of feasibility studies or the due diligence process
prior to acquisition of a site for development. Our knowledge of the
technical issues, the applicable regulations, and the entitlement
and regulatory processes allows BonTerra Consulting to provide responsive
and solution oriented advice.
Our staff has experience in conducting environmental documentation
for litigation-sensitive projects and has developed research, documentation,
and environmental assessment techniques that minimize avenues for
legal challenge. We continually monitor court decisions and legislative
changes to maintain a current approach to legal compliance.
Our experience includes the preparation of:
- Environmental Impact Reports
- Environmental Impact Statements
- Mitigated Negative Declarations
- Finding of No Significant Impacts
- Negative Declarations
- Environmental Revaluations
- Categorical Exemptions
- Categorical Exclusions
- Addendum EIRs
Land Use and Strategic Policy Planning
BonTerra Consulting prepares land use assessments and land use inventories
associated with policy and physical planning efforts under consideration
by clients. The primary function of a land use analysis is to evaluate
the compatibility of existing and proposed land uses from a policy
and physical land use compatibility perspective. The opportunities
and constraints of a proposed new development or contemplated zoning
or general plan change are assessed with respect to appropriateness
of intensity/density of use, compatibility with existing/future
surrounding land uses, effects on the environment, and infrastructure
needs.
