Horizon Environmental
Services, Inc. (Horizon) is particularly well qualified to provide both
the technical and administrative support required for project planning
and permitting efforts related to various federal, state, and local
permits and/or approvals. Horizon’s capabilities and experience are
very broad in the area of work efforts to support compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), particularly as related to
multidisciplinary Environmental Assessments/Environmental lmpact
Statements (EAs/EISs), jurisdictional wetlands, endangered species,
cultural resources issues, and expert testimony.
Services that Horizon provides for various clients include
multidisciplinary EAs/EISs in support of federal and state environmental
reviews; jurisdictional wetland determinations; endangered species
habitat assessments and surveys; cultural resources surveys and
mitigation (prehistoric and historic); wildlife habitat and wetlands
restoration/creation; baseline aquatic and terrestrial investigations
(inland and coastal); geologic resource assessments; real estate
environmental site assessments; environmental constraints analyses for
alternative project sites, routes, and land development scenarios
(“fatal flaw” analyses); post-project land use planning and mitigation;
and permit management, including preparation, agency coordination, and
expert testimony.
Horizon is based in Austin, Texas and provides services nationally.
Horizon was founded in 1987 and is a small-business enterprise composed
of senior professional personnel with many years of applied
experience/specific training in environmental assessments, permitting,
and management. For example, members of Horizon’s staff have worked on
the majority of energy development (e.g., lignite surface mines and
power plants) and reservoir projects, either proposed or developed, in
Texas and Louisiana from 1976 to present. Our staff’s experience and
background have allowed Horizon to gain an applied knowledge of the
environmental requirements of various federal and state regulations and
permits affecting natural resource development and an excellent identity
with agency personnel. In 2003, the Austin Business Journal recently
ranked Horizon sixth among Austin-area environmental consulting firms,
which included large, national corporations with substantial engineering
staffs.
Horizon’s key personnel assigned to various work efforts are committed
to being available from work initiation through expert testimony, if
required. Depending on the scope of environmental investigations
required for a given project, Horizon may network with other qualified
firms, not only to provide both environmental and engineering services
in a cost- and time-efficient manner, but to assure that only the most
technically qualified and experienced persons are providing personal
attention to the work effort. Moreover, Horizon is committed to
assisting its clients in achieving HUB and SBF contracting goals, as
required.
