We assist private entities and municipalities in land planning projects in order to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands and streams.

With over 25 years of established relationships with environmental, engineering, and regulatory communities, NEI brings a wealth of professional expertise and regulatory resources to every project.

 

Our Mission

We strive to maintain outstanding integrity with the Regulatory Community.  Where necessary to provide appropriate staffing and quality assurance, NEI will continue these relationships through contract and subcontract commitments with a variety of entities to engage loyal, talented, honest, and dependable professionals, thus providing a seamless approach to completion of your project. 

We recognize that well-planned project budgets and schedules are critical for success.  We make firm commitments with our clients and we believe in the obligations of open communication, smart planning, and maintaining realistic schedules.  With our unique and experienced problem solving and planning abilities, we are capable of taking on a full range of projects from smaller wetland and stream delineation projects, to massive activities - hundreds of acres or more - crossing multiple watersheds.  We pride ourselves with being able to manage these activities with an ecosystem approach to avoiding and minimizing resource impacts and developing sustainable mitigation and restoration projects. 

We have successfully managed many hundreds of small and large environmental-related projects.  We hope that you will trust our experience and foresight to be valuable for your project involving wetlands, streams, stream buffers, protected species, water quality, and related natural resources.
