 Najarian Associates provides outstanding services
in the specialized field of wetlands ecology. Current federal, state and local regulations have documented
the importance of wetlands.
Accordingly, wetland delineation methodologies have been
developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, and through joint efforts with
other agencies. These
methodologies require a comprehensive analysis of on-site
vegetation, soils and hydrology. Najarian Associates has extensive
experience in implementing these wetland delineation methodologies
on project sites in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York and
Connecticut. All
delineations are conducted by Professional Wetland
Scientists.
The
primary responsibilities of our ecologists/biologists are
to delineate wetlands, assess wetland resource
values, develop wetland creation/mitigation plans,
assess potential impacts of development on wetland areas, and
conduct wetland buffer zone analysis. In addition, Najarian
Associates provides services and expertise in the following
fields:
|
Wetland Ecology

Resource Evaluation |

Plant Identification |
Rare and Endangered |
|
Habitat Evaluations |
Plant Inventories

|
Wetland Mitigation |

Wetland delineations are often conducted on a property prior
to the initiation of development activities to assist in determining
which areas will be available for development. Although avoidance of
wetlands is the easiest route for a project, it is often necessary
to obtain governmental permits for certain unavoidable activities in
wetlands. Najarian
Associates has successfully applied for, and obtained, the following
approvals: Letters of
Interpretation, State-Wide General Permits, Individual Permits and
Transition Area Waivers from the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and
the New Jersey Pinelands Commission.
