Navigating the complexities of CEQA and NEPA can be challenging. CreativeEnvironment Group begins by evaluating the specific activities of each project to determine the level of environmental review required.

Our experts simplify this process by providing thorough environmental impact assessments and compliance strategies tailored to each project’s needs.

While fully complying with relevant laws, our efficient approach avoids unnecessary undertakings and delivers high-quality environmental documentation and compliance strategies to streamline project approval.
