Assessing the impact of development
on the environment

Consulting Services




The modern planning process requires developers to consider and address the environmental effects of commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects. For more than 20 years, RSG’s staff has worked with public and private sector clients to analyze the near- and far-reaching environmental impacts of development and, if necessary, propose sound engineering and environmental solutions. These reviews are comprehensive and complete – providing the basis for sound planning and implementation processes that avoid lengthy delays and serve the public interest.

RSG provides both Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) preparation and review services. We have completed environmental studies having to do with both rural and urban development for highways, commercial buildings, industrial sites and transportation centers.

Examples of our work

•  Provided independent review of environmental issues presented by a cogeneration plant on behalf of a municipality, nationally known environmental awareness group, and other interveners

•  Developed and conducted all the modeling for a comprehensive transportation and air quality management plan that provided adequate service levels while mitigating impacts on adjacent communities
