We offer a full range of consultation services for all stages of a project, from site selection through permit construction and compliance.

Permitting

Have a property that may be a good candidate for wetland restoration or endangered species mitigation? Want to develop an RV park, or explore mining options for sand or peat? We can help.

Our team has successfully permitted a wide range of project types, including residential, commercial, industrial, office, mining resources, and mitigation banks. We work closely with local, state, and federal agencies to complete the permitting process within your project timeline.

Mitigation

EC&D specializes in wetland mitigation banking. Our small firm currently manages more than 20 mitigation projects and over 25,000 acres in the state of Florida. We focus on the technical and financial feasibility of each project from start to finish, ensuring not only environmental success, but revenue generation as well.

We have built a strong reputation for our ability to assess, permit, create, and manage mitigation banks in Florida and Georgia. We successfully permitted two stream mitigation banks in Georgia: Cherry Creek Mitigation Bank and Broxton Rocks Mitigation Bank. Withlacooche Wetland Mitigation Bank was permitted in 2013, and is under our current management. Among our Sunshine State success stories are Florida Gulf Coast Mitigation Bank (located in Levy County), which provides both freshwater and saltwater wetland credits, and the Hilochee Wetland Mitigation Bank (located in Polk County), which is converting a former sand mine to herbaceous wetland habitat.

Land Planning

Our team has extensive experience working in Florida’s complex regulatory framework. To put it simply – we know what works and what will be approved. Our professional planning staff will draft an entitlement plan that realizes our clients’ vision and meets the needs of the community.
