QK provided biological reports, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, and permit applications that allowed the County of Madera to begin construction on a series of three rural bridges.

Our firm prepared NEPA-required technical studies for Caltrans in support of a Categorical Exclusion (CE). These included a Natural Environment Study (NES), Water Quality Assessment Report, and Air Quality Analysis for all three Federal Highway Bridge Replacement Program projects. We also completed CEQA documents and permit applications for multiple agencies, including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The County of Madera completed the permitting process, and QK has since partnered with them to provide environmental consulting services for two additional roadway/bridge projects.
